Chapter 97
Lemira’s confidence was unshakable.
Evelina’s certainty faded as she listened, especially since that streamer’s voice was eerily similar to Lemira’s.
It was like they were the same person! But she refused to admit that Lemira could actually be that streamer, comforting herself by thinking that Lemira couldn’t be that capable. Judy mocked loudly: “Come off it, Lemira. Just because the streamer doesn’t show her face and happens to sound like you, doesn’t mean you can take all the credit.” Jessica defended Lemira fiercely, “But Lemira is amazing, too. She pulled off a twelve-hit combo and won the playoff p>
“That’s right, someone was just dead weight in that match. It was all thanks to Lemira that they won p>
“Exactly, Evelina. You’re just jealous because Lemira plays way better than you p>
Evelina’s eyes suddenly reddened. The boys in the class immediately started defending Evelina.
“Lemira, look what you’ve done, making Evelina cry. You better apologize p>
Lemira was unfazed, “It’s right she’s lousy at that p>
Evelina, feeling resentful, still feigned a pitiful look, “Let’s just drop it, everyone. I admit I’m not great at games, no matter how hard I try, I can’t beat Lemmy. But I’m definitely not jealous, I’m happy for her.” Lemira scoffed, “Good to know you realize your mistake. Keep trying p>
Evelina was choked, not expecting Lemira to respond like that. But the boys kept defending Evelina, “Lemira, so what if you’re slightly better at gaming? Showing off is wrong p>
“Yeah, and you made Evelina cry. You need to apologize and make it up to her p>
“As if you lot could make me p>
“Lemira, that’s too much p>
Jessica stood by Lemira, facing the boys, “Stop trying to defend Evelina. She always cries at the slightest thing every time, acting like she’s the biggest victim. Annoyed just by looking at her!” en
“Yeah, simply set things right and that’s it, always crying doesn’t make you right p>
The girls in the class weren’t fond of Evelina’s damsel-in-distress act either. Every time Evelina cried, it seemed to excuse her from any wrongdoing.
The girls had long had opinions of her.
After being scolded, Evelina cried even more, looking so pitiful that many boys felt sorry for her.
Lemira grabbed her stuff and left the classroom, not wanting to waste another minute there. She didn’t
want to see anyone from the Langston family, including Evelina.
Jessica caught up to her and whispered, “Lemira, don’t let
Evelina’s words stop you from
yourthing. We’re all fans here and will support you in silence.
Lemira realized they knew she was SweetLemon. She smiled shyly, “Well, it’s not that I didn’t want to say p>
“You don’t need to explain. We get it. Just so some jealous folks don’t get envious of your fans and start trouble behind your back p>
Evelina, being the petty person she was, would probably cry again upon knowing how popular Lemira had become. Just the thought was annoying. Lemira sighed in relief, “Thanks for understanding p>
“Lemira, there you are. I thought you were going to avoid us forever p>
Alaric had been waiting at the school gate. Seeing a familiar figure on the playground, he knew it was Lemira.
These past few days, Lemira hadn’t answered his calls or replied to his messages on WhatsApp.
No, she had actually deleted him. Thinking of this, Alaric felt a spark of anger.
At the sight of Alaric, Lemira’s expression remained extremely indifferent. She said to Jessica and others, “I’ll head off now. We’ll catch up later.” She turned and walked towards the school exit, not intending to say much to Alaric.
