When They Beg, I Rise!

"If the person inside the car wasn't driving, then who was?"

It's the driver who's supposed to be at fault for running a red light.

Lucian nodded, "You're not wrong. But the fact that the guy ran away makes me doubt. Why would he run if he wasn't driving?"

Lemira found herself agreeing.

Why run unless you've got something to hide?

Frowning, Lemira said, "But I can't remember anything from that night, and I have no clue if the culprit was the driver. Are you all disappointed in me?"

It was her birthday, and her parents had forgotten to buy a cake.

So, she threw a fit about wanting cake, leading her parents to take a newly opened shortcut to save time, which then led to the accident.

"Indeed, we are disappointed,"

Asher pushed open the hospital room door and entered, followed by Caspian and Alaric.noveldrama

Lucian's expression changed, "Asher, what are you doing here?"

"Lucky I came, or else how would I know Lemira has the audacity to ask such questions?"

Asher glared at Lemira coldly, "Caspian let it slip, and you think catching the culprit will absolve you? Will it bring our parents back?"

Tears welled up in Lemira's eyes instantly.

Stepping in front of Lemira, Lucian said, "Asher, that's too harsh. She was just a kid; how is any of this her fault?"

"Yeah, Asher, Lemira might be a bit rebellious now, but if we guide her, she'll understand," Caspian chimed in, trying to smooth things over. "No matter what, we can surely teach her."

"Hmph, I can't teach her. She's grown too big for her boots now," Asher retorted with sarcasm.

Caspian looked at Lemira with a half-smile, "You're at fault here. Back then, you made such a big mistake, and we all covered for you, bearing this pain. Asher moved to Orvin to track down the culprit, but what did you do? You nearly bankrupted Asher's company!"

Lemira fought back her tears.

She looked at Caspian, "It wasn't me forcing them into illegal activities. How can that be my fault?"

"I know, it was wrong of Alaric and Evelina. We made Evelina apologize already now it's Alaric's turn. We're a

family ily, should we not stand united in Orvin, find the culprit, and avenge our parents?"

"I'll handle revenge on my own. I can't decide on suing."

Lemira knew why Caspian was saying all this.

She wouldn't fall for it.

Caspian sighed, turning to Alaric, "Not to blame you, but you believed Evelina's bad ideas. Serves you right for taking the fall." Alaric remained silent.

But Asher was annoyed, "What do you mean by that, Caspian? Evelina is still young, and her father died trying to save our parents. You can't expect Evelina to go to jail, right?"

"Asher, you're too prideful. You're already repaying Evelina by treating her well all these years. Don't forget Lemira is our sister. Evelina has been playing us, and she deserves a lesson."

Caspian had seen the footage, realizing Evelina was that scheming.

If Evelina hadn't saved his life once, he would've kicked her out of the Langston family by now.

Asher frowned, "No, we've already decided to let Alaric take the fall."

Caspian turned back to Alaric, "Say something, man. Bail isn't going to last forever. Speak now or it'll be too late."

Finally, Alaric looked up, meeting Lemira's gaze.

After losing everything, Alaric realized just how grievously he had erred.

Lemira didn't even glance at Alaric, walking straight to the hospital room door.

Asher spoke up, "Actually, I've found a lead on the guy who ran."

"Who is it?"

Lemira's heart sank as she turned around.

"If you want to know the lead, fine. But Alaric can't go to jail. You choose."
