Chapter 317
Lemira couldn’t believe she was gaining traction in the spotlight.
Orion’s eyelid twitched as he grabbed Matthew by the arm, “Hey man, didn’t you have a digital face-off with Alaric not too long ago? Tried to poach him for your team.” “Oh yeah, I remember now. They had a spat online p>
Lemira turned to Orion, “He called you ‘bro’ earlier, right? Are you guys related p>
“Yeah, we’re…ow p>
Before Matthew could finish, he felt a sharp pinch on his back, making him wince in pain and glare at Orion, “What was that for p>
He had hoped to leave a good impression on his future sister-in-law.
“Why the pinch, man? What happened to manners p>
Lemira pointed at them, “Definitely relatives. You share a last name p>
Then it hit Lemira. Matthew and Orion were related?
But Matthew was from the prestigious Everhart family!
Lemira looked at Orion seriously, “How come you never mentioned your connection to the Everharts p>
Orion explained nervously, “Well, we just share the last name p>
“Exactly, distant relatives. This dude is my little bro; met through gaming, and got close to Orion too p>
At that moment, Thaddeus ran over, throwing an arm around Matthew’s shoulder, giving frantic hints.
Matthew, confused at first, realized Lemira might not know about his brother’s status, then quickly added, “Right, exactly! Thad, Orion, they’re all my brothers!” Lemira glanced at the three men without a word.
All three held their breath, not daring to make a sound.
Lemira nodded, “Didn’t expect you to be this close in real life. Never heard you mention it p>
“We did talk about it. I was using my brother’s account p>
Lemira suddenly remembered, thinking Orion’s account had been hacked.
Someone had claimed to be Orion’s brother?
It was a distant memory, now fuzzy.
Realizing, Lemira turned to Matthew, “That account was really yours p>
“Absolutely, no doubt about it p>
Lemira felt a surge of emotions. So, the person from her past life was Matthew? Not Orion?
Matthew sensed Lemira’s confusion,
wrong? I only logged in
after that, it was all my
“It’s nothing p>
Lemira excused herself, “I need to use the restroom p>
She hurried off, images of her past encounter flooding her mind.
She had always assumed it was Orion, given the similarity in their speech and actions. Though she had never met him in her past life, she believed he would be just like Orion!
But now, knowing the account belonged to Matthew, she wondered who o would have logged in if she
hadn’t met Orion?
Lemira dared not ponder further.
Outside.
Matthew stood alone under a lamppost, hands raised in a gesture of guilt.
He glanced cautiously at Orion, “Bro p>
Orion raised an eyebrow, “Shut it p>
“Bro, I didn’t know she was unaware. I’m innocent p>
Thaddeus chimed in, “Lucky I got here in time. Lemira didn’t seem suspicious p>

Orion’s gaze hardened with a warning.
Matthew covered his mouth, “I swear, I won’t spill. I’ve always been tight-lipped p>
“Tight-lipped? Haven’t you blabbered about every single thing since we were kids p>
Orion struggled to keep his cool as he looked at Thaddeus, “Just make sure you don’t slip up p>
Thaddeus nodded, “You can count on me p>
Matthew peeked out, “Bro, are you nervous? Come on, have some confidence. Let me talk to her.” Orion felt his temper rising.
Thaddeus grabbed Matthew, “Matt, maybe you should head out. Don’t linger p>
The poor kid, always on the brink of causing trouble.
“I didn’t even get to say goodbye to her. Wanted to leave a good impression. Woe is me p>
