When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 676

Mrs. Amanda nodded. "I only recently found out myself. I thought you knew."

"My memory hasn't been great lately. Besides, I've never been to Lyria, so I don't know that family at all. I only knew their surname was Langston, but there are so many people with that name. Who would've thought it'd be such a coincidence!"

Mrs. Amelia's eyes flickered with guilt as she looked at Mrs. Amanda. "Does she know Orion was also in the car that day?"

"Not yet."

Mrs. Amanda frowned. "That's the most difficult part. It's why I've said from the beginning that the two of them can't be together."

It was all just her son's wishful thinking.

Mrs. Amelia felt a flicker of joy. If that was the case, then her daughter still had a chance.

She thought for a moment and said, "But you shouldn't feel too guilty. After the Langstons' parents died and their company nearly went bankrupt, wasn't it you who secretly helped them get back on their feet? They even ended up marrying into the Waverly family. They're not as weak as you think."

Mrs. Amanda replied, "That may be true, but ultimately, it was our responsibility."

In her heart, however, Mrs. Amelia didn't see it that way. It was just that family's bad luck for being out on the road so late at night.

Mrs. Amelia was frustrated. "So you're taking that girl Lemira's side and won't help Susanna? We've been best friends for so many years. When your husband was cheating on you and almost divorced you, I was the one who helped you save your marriage. You can't just abandon me now."

"How do you want me to help you?"

"Doesn't Lemira want to be with Orion? Have Orion go and persuade her."

Mrs. Amelia had a clever plan. This would cause a rift between Lemira and Orion. Then, once Lemira found out Orion was in the car, she would never get together with him.

It was a godsend.

Mrs. Amanda hesitated. She didn't think it would work and felt it was better not to say anything.

But her best friend was crying and begging for her help, putting her in a terrible bind.

Meanwhile, after entering her office, Lemira sneezed.

She thought about what Mrs. Amanda had said and sighed. Although Mrs. Amanda was nice to her, it all came with conditions.

But she would not drop the charges against Susanna.
