When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 1075

Hearing Orion's words, Lemira's eyes immediately reddened.

In this world, apart from Orion, no one else understood the unspeakable grievances in her heart.

Take Rowan's words just now, for instance. On the surface, they seemed fine.

But she found them sickening.

Only Orion saw right through to the core of the problem.

Rowan looked at her, his composure cracking. "Little sister, I didn't mean it like that. I never intended to use it to emotionally blackmail you later."

Orion grabbed Rowan by the collar. "Are you going to tell me you didn't have the thought of doing this 'for Lemira'?"

Rowan fell silent. He didn't answer because he couldn't deny it.

Thaddeus couldn't hold back anymore. "They were your parents too, not just hers. Even if you take matters into your own hands, those are your own actions. What does it have to do with Lemira? Weren't they your mom and dad?"

Rowan was left speechless.

Even if that wasn't his explicit intention, his subconscious behavior exposed serious flaws.

Stella and Janice stepped up and linked arms with Lemira. Stella looked at the Langstons. "It's your fault dragging her down, which is why Mrs. Amelia might escape the death penalty. You should be cleaning up your own mess."

Janice nodded. "Exactly. Our Lemira has done everything she was supposed to do. Don't you guys feel guilty as her older brothers? You might as well step down and let Lemira be the older sister."

The Langston men stood in stunned silence, unable to utter a single word of rebuttal.

Caspian looked at Lemira. "Little sister, we'll change. Thank you all for pointing out our flaws. We really will change."

Stella scoffed. "If every criminal told a judge they'd change and got forgiven, prisons would be hotels."

In the end, only the Langston men remained standing there.

Asher still didn't quite get it. "Rowan, why did you actually admit fault? I don't think you were wrong at all."

Rowan was willing to eliminate Amelia for her. What else was Lemira dissatisfied with?

Even if Evander messed up, weren't they fixing it now?

Rowan wore a grim expression. "I think I'm starting to understand why she never wants to come back, why she refuses to forgive us."

It wasn't just that they were catastrophically wrong; their entire mindset was still flawed.

Lucian's gaze was complicated. "Rowan, I understand what you mean. Don't worry, over time we will all slowly change."
