When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 660

Lemira nodded. "That's right. Matters like this should be decided by a judge."

She remembered that Susanna was still out on bail. If this incident blew up, she would be taken into custody.

Mrs. Amelia's demeanor suddenly changed. "If Ms. Langston insists, then the Sinclair family will see this through to the end. After all, the video only shows that girl planting the item. There's no concrete proof that our Susanna was behind it. Even in court, we have nothing to fear."

Besides, she had already made arrangements for that girl. She wouldn't be talking.

As long as there was no direct evidence linking Susanna to the crime, there was nothing they could do to the Sinclair family.

It would just be a minor inconvenience.

Mrs. Waverly quickly interjected, "My, my, why make such a fuss over a small matter? Ms. Langston, one shouldn't be so petty. You'll have to deal with all of us in the future."

Another middle-aged woman added fuel to the fire, "Just as I thought, from a no-name family. So ungracious. Can't even take a little joke."

Orion's cold gaze swept over to her. "I heard your son was messing around with a woman and ended up killing her."

The woman immediately jumped up. "That's not true! Mr. Everhart, you have quite a sense of humor."

Matthew shot back, "So you can't take a joke either?"

"But how can you joke about something like that?"

"Then how can you joke about her being framed for theft? Lemira was wronged, and you expect her to be gracious? Why should she?"

After Matthew's tirade, the middle-aged woman didn't dare say another word.
