Chapter 625
Heat crept up Lemira’s face.
He had sent a single sentence: I don’t accept this breakup. I’ll wait p>
Lemira closed the chat window. She turned to look out the car window, the calm she had fought so hard to find now rippling with disturbance.
She had believed Orion had hidden his identity from her because he wasn’t truly serious about her.
But just now, in front of all those people, he had publicly clarified the situation with Sophia.
Lemira had seen Sophia burst into tears right on the spot.
Oanice spoke up then. “Lemira, what’s going on with you and your boyfriend I mean, your ex-boyfriend p>
“It is what it is right now p>
“But I think he’s still in love with you. Did you see the way he was looking at you? He
was like an abandoned puppy, just waiting for you to come back and pet him p>
Oanice thought that if a boyfriend that handsome looked at her like that, she wouldn’t be able to stay mad at all.
Lemira’s face grew warmer. “Don’t be ridiculous. I honestly don’t know what to do right now p>
Both Orion and Mrs. Amanda had explained that there was no marriage arrangement with the Sinclair family, that it was all just a rumor.
She had been played by Sophia.
But she was still genuinely angry that Orion had hidden his identity. It felt like a breach of trust.
Oanice linked her arm through Lemira’s. “Then give him the cold shoulder for a while. Let him stew in his own anxiety. Teach him a lesson p>
“You’re right. I was always the one chasing him before p>
This time, Lemira wanted him to take the initiative.
“Besides, there are plenty of great guys out there. A lot of people have already been asking if you’re single. As soon as I spread the word, you’ll have guys lining up to ask you out. No need to hang all your hopes on one guy p>
Lemira’s gloomy mood lifted. “You have a point p>
She wasn’t sure where things stood with her and Orion, but she had so much she wanted to accomplish since her rebirth. She wasn’t going to let one man derail her life.
In the front seat, Timothy overheard their conversation and glanced at Lemira in the rearview mirror, a plan beginning to form in his mind.
After Lemira’s car drove off, Orion finally looked away.
Sophia spoke stubbornly, “Did you hear a word I just said p>
Orion glanced at his phone. As expected, Lemira hadn’t replied.
He felt a surge of irritation and turned to Sophia. “I was already being generous. If it was anyone else, just for taking my phone and answering Lemira scam,
Lemira’s call, your entire
family would be in trouble.
“But I’ve known you longer than she has! Why? What does Lemira have that I don’t p>
In that moment, Sophia lost all reason, her pride trampled into the dust.
Orion’s eyes were cold. “Because Lemira is the one I love. Who could possibly compare to the woman I love p>
Because he loved her, no one could compare to Lemira.
It was that simple.
With that, Orion bent down, got into his car, and drove away. Sophia crumpled to the ground, sobbing uncontrollably. She truly didn understand what she lacked compared to Lemira.
She was Orvin’s top socialite! In terms of looks, status, and ability, she was superior to Lemira in every way!
Lemira returned to her dorm room. Lying on her bed, she stared at the message from Orion.
He had been messaging her for days, but she hadn’t replied to a single one.
It was so frustrating.
The next day, Lemira went to the team’s facility and saw the director waiting for her. She walked over, her expression neutral. “Is there something you need p>
“Your attitude toward the people from the Sinclair family yesterday was a bit too aggressive. The Sinclairs have been our sponsors for years p>
“And you didn’t see them trying to get handsy with my players p>
The director paused. “But it’s always been like this. They wouldn’t have
done anything serious, not w many people watching. Nothing would have happened p>
