When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 120

She just doesn’t want to stay at VibeCast and keep being under the Langstons' control.

"Alright, alright, let's cool it down a bit," Lucian immediately tried to smooth things over as he turned to Alaric. "But man, what you did and said before really cut deep. You owe Lemmy an apology."

Alaric awkwardly started, "I can apologize, but she can’t join Reapers or sign with PixelStage!"

He knew Lemira was doing this just to get under his skin.

He was willing to apologize, but Lemira couldn't keep this up.

Lucian breathed a sigh of relief and approached Lemira, "Lemmy, I also think signing with another group isn't the right move. It's a messy industry, and I worry about you. Signing with Alaric's company is your best bet. Don’t you think?"

Lemira's gaze was clear and firm, "Who I sign with is my choice."

"But I'm worried, Lemmy. Alaric truly realizes his mistake, and he'll make sure the same thing doesn’t happen again. Let's not hold a grudge anymore, okay?"

"I've never been holding a grudge."

They were the ones who kept bothering her.

She turned and walked away, not wanting to waste any more words on them.

Alaric watched Lemira's retreating back, feeling a mix of frustration and reluctance, "Lucian, did you see her attitude? I'm even willing to apologize, what more does she want?"

"Alaric, you brought it upon yourself. You have to figure out how to apologize and get her forgiveness."

Alaric fell silent, unsure of what more he could do. It was Lemira who had played him first!

He wasn't holding onto those actions, so why couldn't Lemira forgive him?

When Alaric looked up, he saw Lemira mingling in the crowd, receiving warm greetings and even taking selfies with some.

Lemira, handling herself with such composure among the crowd, felt almost like a stranger.

Evelina, with her harmless facade, stood beside Lemira, addressing the surrounding celebrities, "Hello everyone, I'm Evelina, Lemira's sister."

Michel sneered, "So you're the girl who took Lemira's spot on the team but almost lost the comeback match, huh?"

Evelina's smile faltered.

Her smile was more pained than joyful, "I can’t compare to Lemmy when it comes to gaming. She didn’t wanna join the team; that’s why I stepped in. But if she wants to come back, I'd step aside anytime."

Lemira's lips twisted in a cold smirk, "No need to step aside for anything."

Wanting to avoid Evelina, she turned to pick some fruits from the table.

"Lemmy, wait a sec."

Evelina suddenly rushed after Lemira, accidentally stepping on her dress and spilling the wine in her hand all over Lemira.
