When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 669

Lemira was genuinely surprised when Evander hit Evelina.

In her past life, her brothers had treated Evelina so well, doting on her as if she were a fragile doll.

Now, Evander was actually willing to strike her.

It seemed their so-called affection came with conditions.

Lemira saw the dumbfounded look on Evelina's face and said mockingly, "Evander, don't hit her so hard you cause permanent damage. If word gets out, it'll be bad for the Langston family's reputation."

"Hah, Evelina is just our adopted daughter. She eats our food, lives in our house, uses our money. Don't I have the right to discipline her?"

Evander looked down at Evelina. "Isn't that right, Eve?"

Her scalp aching, Evelina didn't dare resist.

Seeing Lemira still watching, Evelina felt a surge of hatred. The last thing she ever wanted was to appear weak in front of Lemira.

It was worse than death.

Evelina could only answer weakly, "Evander, nothing actually happened between me and Dorian in the lounge. The video just makes it look that way. We didn't get the chance."

She had seen the video herself; her skirt had covered everything, making it impossible to tell what had really happened.

Hearing this, Evander's expression improved significantly.

He looked up at Lemira. "You hear that? Eve isn't the kind of person you think she is."

"If you want to believe that, I can't stop you. It's not my reputation on the line, after all."

Evander gritted his teeth in fury. "Lemira, you stop right there! I'm going to kill you!"

Lemira heard Evander's enraged shouts behind her but didn't look back. It was clear he was deeply bothered by the thought of Evelina sleeping with someone else and was obsessed with her virginity.

It looked like Evelina's days were not going to be easy.

As soon as Lemira left, Evelina breathed a sigh of relief. "Evander, don't be fooled by Lemira's words. She just wants to drive a wedge between us."

Seeing that Evander's mood was still sour, Evelina felt a flash of irritation. Did this useless man really think he had the right to be angry with her?

Once she got her hands on the investment money from the AI project, she would make every single person in the Langston family pay.
