When They Beg, I Rise!

Evelina noticed the expressions on the brothers' faces and braved up to confess, "I'm so sorry, it just slipped out unintentionally. It's all my fault."

Asher waved it off, "Eve, how could this possibly be on you? It's your brothers who pushed you into lying. They're in the wrong here!"

Lucian and Alaric felt unjustly accused.

Alaric couldn't hold back, "Asher, the whole thing about Lemira running away, it's actually all on me. I was the one who treated her poorly and bullied her. That's why she felt so hurt and left the Langston mansion." Realizing the extent of his actions, Alaric wanted to make amends to Lemira. With an awkward look, Alaric glanced at Lemira, "I was wrong, truly. I won't be like this anymore."

He swore! He didn't want to cut ties with Lemira. She was his only sister, after all.

When Lemira heard Alaric's words, a mocking smile appeared on her lips, "A late apology is worth less than dirt. Move, I'm leaving!"

But the bodyguards at the door didn't budge.

At that moment, Asher received a call, "Lemira, you can't leave yet. The school board's coming over to investigate the cheating allegations. You better have a good attitude, otherwise even we can't save you." Puzzlement was filled with Lemira's eyes.

Hadn't the school board already investigated? The principal had even told her to wait for further news! Something didn't add up.

Evelina, hearing about the school board's investigation, was gleeful. Pretending to care, Evelina said, "Lemmy, just own up later. Maybe the punishment will be lighter that way."

Lucian glared at Evelina callously, "What are you blabbering about? She didn't cheat!"

Immediately, Evelina played the victim, "Lucian, it's just for Lemmy's own good."

Asher quickly stood up for Evelina, facing Lucian, "Eve's doing the right thing. You've just been spoiling Lemira, and that's why she turned out this way." Lucian was deeply frustrated.

Seeing Evelina standing behind

Asher, looking pitiful, he finally understood how Lemira must have felt before. No wonder Lemira was so heartbroken that she decided to leave the Langstons.

Lucian coldly gazed at Evelina, "Until things are cleared up, you better stop spreading these misleading statements." "Lucian, I..."

"Shut it. I don't want to hear your excuses."

Lucian was in a foul mood.

Evelina had no choice but to keep quiet, but at least she had Asher by her side, and the others had to listen to him.

Seeing Lucian defending her made Lemira feel amused. Maybe Lucian was starting to see Evelina in a different light, but she didn't care about that anymore. She discreetly pulling out her phone, trying to message Orion.

"What are you doing?"

Asher snatched the phone from her hands.

After a glance, he said, "Messaging him won't help now. He can't come."

Lemira's face was stone-cold, "I told you, it has nothing to do with him."

"Just wait for the investigators to arrive before you start making demands with such confidence!"

Asher pocketed the phone, "Being

marked for cheating will get you a five-year ban from exams. You'll have to depend on the Langston family for the rest of your life. you really think that school doctor will take care of a waste like you forever?"

Lemira suddenly laughed, though her laughter was cold.

Her eyes were tinged with a hint of scorn, "I'm a waste? Without me, Alaric's team wouldn't even make it to the finals. Without me, Lucian's

project would never solve the

firewall issue! I'm so damn tired of your high and mighty attitudes!"
