When They Beg, I Rise!

Lemira raised an eyebrow, her gaze bold and piercing.

"I remember very clearly," she uttered. And she would never forget.

With that, Lemira shut the door, not wanting to say another word.

Lucian stood outside, looking down at the necklace in his hands, thinking about what he had just said. Instantly, he regretted it.

But Lemira's words had also been deliberately provoking.

She was smart enough to know what he meant. Was she still angry? Lucian stared at the closed door, thinking, "Lemira, what am I going to do with you?" Lemira was in a bad mood. She shouldn't have been hopeful, thinking her brothers would suddenly develop a conscience and come to her, crying and apologizing. But she had thought too much. She had underestimated Evelina's place in Lucian's heart.

After all, Lucian was moved to tears just by Evelina making him a bowl of a plain soup, while her years of cooking nutritious meals were treated like trash, worthless.

She decided to withdraw all her efforts, refusing to join Alaric's team, no longer cooking for Lucian, and not maintaining Asher's cybersecurity. And the same went for Rowan, Caspian, Evander. She would withdraw from them all.

When Lemira checked the online gaming forum, she saw her recent post on "How to Land a Twelve-combo Hit for Beginners" had gone viral.

Many had saved it, but there were also many who mocked her, calling her arrogant. Lemira didn't respond; she had based her advice on that man's experiences.

She received a private message. Viewing the profile, she found it was from Alaric.

He texted: [Remember when you stole my Boss last time?]NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Of course, Lemira remembered. It had been on purpose.

She didn't reply. Alaric sent another message: [How about considering joining a professional team? We can negotiate terms. I see potential in your skills, and being on a team means professional training!] Lemira found it ironic when she read the message.

Alaric finally faced reality, knowing Evelina wasn't reliable and understanding Lemira wouldn't join the competition, so he was recruiting again.

Lemira flatly refused: [I refuse.]

After replying, she logged off.

Alaric, staring at those few words, couldn't help but picture Lemira's face. She always used those same words to refuse him.

Frustrated, Alaric shut off his computer, feeling upset about having to move out because of Lemira.

He regretted hitting her during the last match. But his pride wouldn't let him apologize, as he was used to Lemira, his little sister, always pampering him.

Time flew by, and the final mock exam arrived.

Lemira felt confident during her exams and thought she did quite well. She left the classroom early to get some fresh air on the school grounds.

When Lemira returned to the classroom, she saw Evelina crying at her desk, her usual sidekicks nowhere in sight.

"Evelina, stop crying. We all believe you're not the type to cheat."

"Right, the teacher will definitely investigate and clear your name."

"Yeah, Evelina, you usually do well in school; there's no need for you to cheat."

Hearing these conversations, Lemira guessed what had happened.

She had always suspected Evelina of cheating, especially since one of her sidekicks had decent grades.

This incident hadn't occurred in Lemira's past life. Evelina must have lagged behind because of gaming, resorting to desperate measures to keep up her grades.

In her past life, Evelina's cheating had been exposed during exams, resulting in terrible scores, even worse than another lackey.

Later, when the exam results were published and Lemira did well, Evelina claimed her poor performance was due to being emotionally affected by Lemira.
