When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 1129

Rowan's tone brimmed with supreme confidence, bordering on pure arrogance.

Lucian sounded deeply concerned. "Rowan, the only thing we can do right now is silently compensate her and avoid triggering her disgust. Do not even think about going up against the Everhart family. You'll drag the Langston Group down with you."

The Everharts were the undisputed rulers of Orvin.

No matter how you sliced it, they were completely out of the Langston family's league.

Even Margot Sterling, as arrogant and scheming as she was, still cowered in the shadows entirely out of fear of Orion.

Rowan remained completely unbothered. "What are you so terrified of, Lucian? The hierarchy of elite families shifts constantly. Who's to say the Langstons won't eventually overthrow the Everharts?"

Asher perked up at the prospect. "I agree with Rowan. Who knows? Maybe we really can surpass them. If the Sinclair family hadn't sabotaged us back then, the Langstons would have already secured a major foothold in Orvin."

Caspian nodded enthusiastically. "With Rowan acting as our bridge, which of the elite families wouldn't give us some respect? The Langstons definitely won't fall behind the Everharts. And when that day comes, Lemira will finally have us to truly back her up."

Lucian cast a weary glance at Rowan, unable to shake off a creeping sense of dread.

The family prospering was obviously a good thing, but Rowan's cryptic undertones left him feeling profoundly uneasy.

Lucian couldn't help but press, "Rowan, what exactly are you plotting?"

Asher quickly intervened. "Rowan and I will handle the business strategies. You don't need to worry your head about it, Lucian. Just focus on monitoring Lemira's situation. That's what you've always wanted to do anyway, right?"

Lucian's brows furrowed tightly. Seeing Rowan shut his mouth completely, he knew further questioning was pointless.

Fine. If they made any major moves, he would hear about it soon enough.

No matter what happened, he would never allow anyone to endanger his little sister again.
