When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 165

Alaric retorted, "Even if Lemira didn’t ace her exams, it’s not like she needs to take a gap year or something. Her grades are better than most of us here, aside from Rowan. She’s pretty much killing it."

The progress she made in just a few months was something most people could only dream of.

Evelina was taken aback by Alaric’s defense; she looked at him, not expecting him to stand up for Lemira as well.

Lucian had been acting differently, and now Alaric too showed signs of change. A wave of panic swept over Evelina.

She couldn’t bear the thought of losing her brothers' favor.

Evelina said uneasily, “I get that Lemmy's grades have shot up, but maybe this sudden improvement isn’t stable, you know? That could be why she underperformed.”

Lucian was in turmoil, “Isn’t your school hosting a seminar on college applications tomorrow, where gap year options are also discussed?”

Evelina nodded, “Exactly.”

“Let’s check it out tomorrow then.”

“Lucian, do you think I should take a gap year too?”

Evelina wasn’t really keen on the idea; she found it pointless and much preferred earning through her live streams.

And she had her sights set on entering showbiz through Caspian’s production company!

Lucian was calm as ever, “Eve, even at your best, you’re not hitting the top tier college mark. No need for a gap year, just go for a major you love in college.”

Lucian had made up his mind. He was going to persuade Lemira to consider a gap year.

This time, he was determined not to make any mistakes. Without Evelina around, he wouldn’t let Lemira face any injustice.

After saying his piece, Lucian left.
