When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 1057

Seeing Susanna approach, Lemira's expression immediately hardened. "Whatever you're about to say, don't."

Susanna adopted a remarkably submissive posture. "Lemira, please, I'm begging you. Can you just ask the Everharts to let my dad's company go? He's already divorced my mom. The Sinclair Group has absolutely nothing to do with her anymore."

"Then you've come to the wrong person. I've never personally targeted your family's company."

"But the Everhart Group is ruthlessly suffocating us! If you just say the word to Orion, I know he'll listen to you."

Lemira stared at her coldly. "Your family is truly something else. Your sister is currently humiliating me online with fabricated garbage, and you expect me to do you a favor? The fact that I haven't come after you myself is mercy enough. Where do you get the nerve to make demands?"

Susanna froze, completely blindsided. "What did my sister do?"

Janice furiously shoved her phone into Susanna's face. "You might want to take a look at this. Your sister is still hallucinating about marrying Orion."

As Susanna watched the livestream footage, the color completely drained from her face.

She shook her head repeatedly, her voice trembling. "No, that's impossible. Why... why would she do this?"

"Isn't it obvious? I've already contacted my attorney to issue a cease and desist. As for the rest of your family's self-inflicted ruin, you only have yourselves to blame."

Lemira turned and walked away, refusing to waste another second on the Sinclairs. Every single person in that bloodline seemed to be missing basic common sense.

Left standing alone, Susanna felt like she was on the verge of a total breakdown.

With shaking hands, she dialed Sophia's number. When the call finally connected, Sophia's voice drifted through the speaker, accompanied by a lazy yawn. "What do you want? I'm trying to get some sleep here."

"Sophia, what the hell was that garbage you were spouting on your livestream?"

"Exactly what it sounded like. Orion checked into a hotel with me. What about it?"

Thinking back to the hospital, Lemira nodded. "It's almost certainly collateral damage from what happened to Amanda. Sophia destroying the organ donor match was the final straw."

Janice ground her teeth. "How can someone be so incredibly toxic?"

Stella was equally disgusted. "Amanda treated Sophia like a daughter for years. How could she even consider doing something so vile? I guess the apple doesn't fall far from Amelia's tree."

"Exactly. Everything happening to Sophia right now is entirely her own fault."

Previously, Lemira had felt a tiny sliver of pity, thinking Sophia was just a pawn manipulated by her mother. But now, she realized Sophia was the architect of her own misery.

By that evening, major media outlets began dropping explosive exposes detailing the Sinclair Group's fraudulent financial practices, seamlessly tying in the scandal of Wade Sinclair's illegitimate child.
