When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 286

What did "just drop it" even mean?

Back in the day, if Alaric got wind of something like this, he'd be on Lemira's case in a heartbeat! Why did it seem like even Alaric had changed?

Evelina felt so aggrieved that tears streaming down, "But I almost died."

"Eve, you've always been the sensible one. Despite Lemira running off, we're still family at the end of the day. Don’t take it too seriously."

He paused, "Besides, there's no proof that Lemira was behind all this, right?"

Evelina was so extremely upset.

Weren't these the very words once said to Lemira? She never imagined that one day, the boomerang would come back to hit her!

Suffering from the frustration of being unable to express her distress, Evelina felt if she pushed any further, her carefully crafted image would start to crumble.

In the end, Evelina had no choice but to bite her tongue, daring not to speak of pursuing Lemira's accountability. But she wasn't going to let this slide.

When Lemira got back to her dorm, all her roommates were there. Janice, noticing the bandage on Lemira's forehead, quickly asked, "You got hurt?"

"Yeah, but I'm fine now."

As Lemira settled into her chair, Clara couldn't help but sneer, "Don't tell me you got 'sick' and skipped the evaluation because you were scared of losing?"

Lemira just smiled, "Honestly, I could take on the entire club and still come out on top."

"Keep talking big, Lemira. You're just making excuses because you didn't even show up for the evaluation, trying to pretend you're something special."

Lemira didn't bother explaining herself to what she considered a clown.

Clara, not missing a beat to show off, said, "The team base is hosting a social media influencer event tonight. A bunch of big names from PixelStage are going to be there. Too bad you're going to miss it. Only members are qualified to attend."

Clara strutted out in her skirt and heels after her announcement.
