Chapter 339
When Lemira heard Hogan’s words, a flicker of doubt crossed her eyes.
Seriously
ill?
But all she remembered was Lucian suffering from nothing more than a stomach ailment.
In her previous life, she’d never heard of Lucian battling any severe illness!
Yet, Lucian did look significantly thinner.
Lucian straightened up, pushing Hogan aside: “I’m fine, just the same old issue p>
“But boss, you p>
“Hogan, you’re talking too much p>
Lucian cut off Hogan from saying more, turning to Lemira: “I’m not here to plead for leniency. They made mistakes, they should be punished p>
Not here to plead?
Lucian took a document from Hogan: “This artificial intelligence project has a lot of potentials. I know you’ve been a key tech figure at Maple Group, but why not strike out on your own?” “What do you mean p>
“This is my company, and now I’m giving you all my shares. Then you can develop the Al project independently, and when it goes public, all the success will be solely yours p>
Lemira looked at the share transfer agreement.
She hadn’t expected him to hand over the company to her!
Was Lucian regretting his actions after seeing Evelina’s true colors in the surveillance video incident, seeking to make amends?
Lemira glanced at the document but didn’t take it.
“No need, keep it for yourself p>
“No, I’m doing this willingly. I was wrong not to see how much you’ve suffered over the years, being deceived and mistreated by Evelina, misunderstood and unfairly punished, favoring an outsider over you.” Lucian stuffed the document into her hands: “I’ve already signed it p>
Lemira threw the document away: “But I don’t want it p>
The papers scattered all over the floor.
Lucian, looking gaunt, said: “Lemmy, I haven’t been a good brother, but I’ll learn how to be one p>
“Whoever you want to be a good brother to, it has nothing to do with me p>
“How can I make it up to you then? I want to treat you better p>
“Then stay away from me p>
Without looking back, Lemira walked away.
Lucian stood still, watching her silhouette disappear into the dormitory building.
He bent down to pick up the scattered documents, his hands trembling. Eventually, Lucian crouched on the ground, unable to get up for a long time.
Hogan, standing aside, turned his head
y with a pained expression: If only he knew, why start at all?
He’d warned the boss early on that Evelina was no good.
Sadly, the boss hadn’t listened!
Ms. Lemira had long since become independent, not relying on the Langston family to live.
Mending the sibling relationship was easier said than done.
Back in her dorm, Lemira’s mood inexplicably worsened.
She used to adore Lucian the most.
Asher was often away, hot-tempered, and firm in his decisions, which somewhat scared her. Rowan was always immersed in his lab or hospital work, hardly ever coming home.
The rest
with their careers, with Alaric being the youngest, often staying at home.

But the one who often took care of her, accompanying her as she grew up, was Lucian.
Yet, in her previous life, Lucian ultimately sided with Evelina.
Only fragments of her past life flashed through Lemira’s mind, not very clear.
She quickly pushed these thoughts aside.
In this life, she no longer craved sibling affection, nor did she care their regrets and attempts at making amends.
Lying in bed, Lemira noticed a notification on her phone.
The gift she sent to Orion yesterday, as expected, wasn’t claimed.
After some thought, she sent him a message: p>
Orion was in a meeting when his phone lit up, a familiar avatar popping up.
