Chapter 295
Lemira raised her hand just in time to deflect the soda can, which then ricocheted right back at Dorian’s face.
“Damn it, my nose! Lemira, do you have a freaking death wish p>
Dorian clutched his nose, tears streaming down his face from the pain.
Lemira turned around, a picture of innocence, and retorted, “You can curse at my living family, but you can’t curse me p>
With that, she walked away. Dorian wanted to chase after her to settle the score, but his nose hurt too much.
“Dorian, who exactly is this Lemira chick? She’s that hot streamer from PixelStage p>
“I just found out yesterday she’s actually SweetLemon, my idol! And to think, my idol was right here all along p>
“Oh man, does Lemira hate everyone from the Business School? Is it too late for me to drop out p>
After all, not everyone at the Business School had beef with Lemira. It was Susanna who stirred the pot, claiming Lemira looked down on the Business School, which led to them ostracizing Lemira!
But given how badass Lemira was, maybe she wasn’t totally wrong.
However, Dorian was in a foul mood, especially after he had confessed his love to Lemira who had turned him down. He couldn’t let that go.
He was determined to make things work with Evelina, just to show Lemira what she missed out on! But first, he needed to head to the hospital; his nose felt broken.
Lemira, that violent woman, was nothing like the gentle Evelina!
Lemira went to class, taking her usual spot in the front row.
As classmates trickled in, their views on Lemira had shifted. Her confrontation with those stuck-up Business School students was epic!
Lemira sensed the change in their gazes but didn’t care. After class, she received a message from one of those two girls earlier. [Sorry, Lemira, I couldn’t do what I promised about the team captain position. It’s falling through.] Lemira called back immediately, “What happened? Is it a lack of evidence p>
“There’s enough evidence, but Jackson has the Sinclairs backing him. I can’t compete with that. I’m giving up p>
Lemira’s eyes hardened, “Wait, I’ll come right over p>
Lemira packed her things and went to see the girl. Seeing that girl’s red-rimmed eyes, Lemira asked, “What did they say p>
“The Sinclairs threatened my
parents. If don’t tell the school the information is fake, my parents could lose their jobs, even face jail time. My sister is still in school; I can’t risk it.” en
“Jackson got the Sinclairs involved p>
Lemira remembered how Jackson had been sucking up to Susanna back at the base, assuming it was just because Susanna was from the Business School.
“The Sinclairs have always invested in the base’s team operations. They also use the base’s fund for money laundering. As the captain, Jackson knows about this.” That explained why the Sinclairs wanted to protect Jackson.
Lemira thought for a moment and said, “Pull back the documents for now. I have a plan p>
“Lemira, the Sinclair family is not something you can just confront. Let’s just drop it. I don’t want to drag you into this p>
“No, I’ve had my issues with the Sinclairs for a while now. It has nothing to do with you p>
Lemira returned to her dorm,
realizing that the Sinclairs liked to use family members as leverage. But as for her “official” family
members, well, a little trouble
wouldn’t hurt!
As Lemira approached the dorm’s entrance, she noticed a crowd gathered outside, with candles and flowers laid out. Seemed like someone was planning a romantic gesture. Lemira skirted around the crowd, but then everyone’s eyes turned to her.
Jackson, holding flowers, made a beeline towards her. Lemira, sensing his intention, felt a twitch in her temple. It couldn’t be what she thought, could it?
These days, it seemed there was no limit to how low some jerks could stoop! Both scummy and overconfident!
Jackson, with what he believed was
a charming smile, said, “Lemira, truth be told, I’ve had a crush on you since the day we met. But I was too scared to confess, so I did things to make you mad, just to get your attention. But I can’t hold it in anymore. I want to be honest with you now, Lemira. Will you be my
girlfriend p>
