Chapter 337
Lemira’s voice was frosty, “I never said I’d change my last name p>
It was a gift from her parents, and she intended to keep it.
“But with the way you’re acting, what’s the difference? Come Thanksgiving, will you even have the face to honor our parents p>
“Don’t use mom and dad to guilt-trip me p>
“Lemira, it was you who insisted on going out for a birthday cake that day. Mom and Dad, indulging you as always, went out and that’s when the accident happened. After that, it felt like every wolf and vulture came out of the woodwork, trying to tear our family’s assets apart! I was the one who took on everything, starting from scratch in Orvin to ensure you had a comfortable life.
It was Lucian who stayed back in our hometown, taking care of you as you grew up. He had the potential to do so much more.
And now, you sabotage his company, costing him the chance at a crucial contract and half his fortune. Is this how you repay us p>
After Lemira heard it, it felt like a heavy accusation was being thrown at her.
Asher knew their parents were her Achilles’ heel.
Because of this guilt, she had been compliant and devoted in her previous life, only to meet a tragic end!
Lemira responded, her voice cold, “It was Evelina and Alaric who stole my idea, and you allowed it, leading to your loss in the bid. I didn’t force your hand. Had any of you intervened, none of this would have happened. But you didn’t. So, you’re just reaping what you sowed!” She wasn’t going to let these words manipulate her.
She didn’t owe them anything.
Asher was momentarily speechless, Lemira’s clear logic making him falter!
He finally said, “You’ve become quite sharp-tongued. But at the end of the day, Lucian doesn’t owe you anything p>
“But the ruin of his project is on you, not me. Don’t try to morally blackmail me p>
Lemira hung up, not wanting to waste more words.
But Asher’s calls kept coming, only for her to hang up and then block him.
Finally, peace.
Lemira took a couple of days off, deciding it’s time to hit the gym again. She texted her trainer to book a session.
But as Lemira was leaving the team base, ready for the gym, Dorian swaggered in.
The arrival of someone from the Business School made everyone tense, especially considering the past feu between Lemira and Susanna, which ended with a public apology from Susanna. Since then, no one had bothered Lemira
Why now?
Lemira eyed Dorian coolly, “Oh, you want to join the team p>
“I’m here to discuss something about Eve,” Dorian said.
“None of my business p>
Lemira tried to walk past, but Dorian
“Look, Eve just made a
istake. You don’t h
istake. You don’t have net
è it to court, right p>
He was quite fond of Evelina; she was gentle and obedient.
“Lemira, if you drop the lawsuit, consider it a favor you can call on from me someday p>
“Get lost p>
Lemira didn’t even glance back at Dorian as she dismissed him.
But Dorian’s entourage blocked her way, his tone threatening, “Don’t push it! Or we might forget you’re a lady!” “Go ahead, try me p>
Lemira pointed at her own head, walking towards the crowd with an expressionless face and a chilling gaze. Dorian backed away, alarmed, “You’re crazy p>
No wonder Susanna apologized. Lemira was unpredictable!
Brushing past Dorian, even bumping him hard enough to cause him pain.
Dorian turned around and threw
down a harsh warning: “Lemira,
you’re so bold! Just wait, I’ll mak
sure you can’t even afford a lawyer. Try me p>
Lemira didn’t look back at his threats.

Her coach had mentioned, now that she was stronger, she should avoid getting into fights.
