Chapter 360
Orion slowly closed his eyes, “Just make sure she’s safe p>
He could handle his own business.
Back at her dorm, Lemira couldn’t shake off the incident at the gym earlier that day.
It was surprising to see Orion, usually so composed and aloof, losing his cool.
The way he threw punches was a far cry from his usual refined demeanor.
Could it be that Orion had secrets he wasn’t telling?
The next day, Janice sent her a link: “Heard about this creep getting caught at the gym across from campus. Be extra careful if you’re heading there, heard quite a few girls had run-ins with him.” Clicking on the link, Lemira saw it was indeed about the incident from yesterday.
So, her hunch was right; that jerk had managed to prey on several girls, even going as far as harming them.
Just regular college girls, how could they stand a chance against a grown man, let alone a repeat offender?
It seemed she had indeed rid the community of a menace.
But Orion got hurt in the process. She grabbed her phone to message him: [You awake p>
[Yeah, what’s up p>
[Send a pic, let me see p>
Leaning against his bed’s headboard, Orion replied, [What do you want to see p>
Seeing his message, Lemira quickly locked her phone, afraid someone might see.
After calming herself, she unlocked her phone and replied, [The band-aid I put on you yesterday.] [It’s still there p>
[I don’t believe you. Show me p>
[Why don’t you come see for yourself p>
Staring at the chat, Lemira wondered if he ever spoke straightforwardly.
After class, Lemira headed to the eSports team’s base; it was time to train with her teammates.
Their eyes were set on next year’s competition-if they wanted a shot at the finals, they had to put in the work now. Logging on, Lemira received a friend request.
Seeing the name, it was Matthew?
After a moment’s thought, she accepted and typed, [How did you find out my in-game name p>
Matthew, twirling a lollipop, knew he had to remember his brother’s crush’s gaming alias.
Getting on her good side was crucial for helping his brother escape an arranged marriage one grand plan!
Matthew replied, [Who among your fans wouldn’t p>
Lemira had mixed feelings seeing

After a moment, she ventured, [Got a question for you.] [Shoot p>
He knew everything about his brother, including the secrets and his true feelings for Lemira. Lemira hesitated, [Hypothetically, would you drop out of the finals for someone or something p>
In her past life, Matthew had unexpectedly withdrawn from the finals, shocking everyone.
Some even suspected the Langston Group had pressured him.
But Lemira knew better; Matthew was a scion of the Everhart family, beyond the Langston’s reach. Caught off guard by her question, Matthew struggled to reply.
Seeing his silence, Lemira typed, [Never mind if it’s hard to answer p>

Especially not the finals.
But Lemira’s question must have a reason behind it.
Was she testing his dedication to gaming?

After pondering, Matthew replied, [Honestly, there is someone who could make me quit the finals p>
His brother, of course!
