Thaddeus had an odd edge to his voice, “Well, it was that kid who started it, wasn’t it? Guess he finally realized his own mistake.” “Really?”
Something didn’t sit right with Lemira. From what she remembered of Dorian in her past life, he wasn’t the type to let things go so easily.
But maybe it was because of Evelina. After all, that fake angel would do anything to impress the Langstons.
After returning to her apartment in the afternoon, Lemira’s phone wouldn’t stop ringing. When she saw Alaric’s name on the caller ID, she blocked him without a second thought. And then, at last, peace returned.
She knew what Alaric wanted to talk about, but she had zero interest in hearing it.
In the afternoon, she dived straight into gaming, teaming up with a trio for dungeon raids. At night, Lemira was on time for her live stream for a battle!
If she won tonight, she’d be ranked number one.
However, not long after she started streaming, Jessica messaged her. [Goddess, Evelina’s bad-mouthing you in her live stream.]
[What’s she saying?]
[Saying you made your brother sick enough to be hospitalized and you didn’t even visit. Calling you ungrateful.]
Typical Evelina, only capable of such low blows.
Lemira didn’t take it to heart and continued her stream as planned. Sure, some trolls came in to hurl insults, but her fans quickly chased them off.
Lemira was fully focused on the game, and after climbing to the top rank, she felt a real sense of achievement.
During a break, a troll spammed: [Why isn’t the streamer responding? Feeling guilty?]
Lemira scoffed, “Why should I respond to baseless accusations? A few tears from a fake angel, and she can just slander others as she wants, making you all internet judges. If you’re so capable, I
suggest you go solve crimel
Cry a
bibat the hardened criminals, why don’t you?”
[Don’t dodge the issue, answer the question directly.]
Lemira, with her clear-cut gaze, stated, “It’s no secret that my relationship with the Langstons has always been strained, something ve never hidden. Let me make it clear here and now, everything about the Langstons has nothing to do with me. I stand on my own.”
Jessica also explained in the comments: [Lemira has always been treated unfairly, something we, as her classmates, are all too aware of.]
[Lemira struggled to break away from her toxic family and become independent. Now that she’s topped the city in the exams, the Langstons are trying to guilt-trip her.]
Soon, the comment section was ablaze with talk of Lemira being the top student. Videos of Lemira’s interviews as the top achiever were easily found on public platforms. Lemira made the trending list once again.
Evelina, seeing the public sentiment not going her way, angrily ended her stream, her follower count dwindling by the day. But Lemira’s followers kept growing. Evelina was green with envy. Couldn’t Lemira just disappear?
At that moment, Evelina’s phone pinged. [Evie, that Lemira is blocking your path. I can take care of her for you.]
Evelina screamed when she saw the message.
What was happening? Hadn’t she blocked that number? Could this person really be her dad? How’s that possible.
“Eve, what’s wrong?”
Alaric walked into the room, and Evelina, panicking, shut off her phone, her hands trembling, “Nothing, just got scared by a gory video that popped up.” “Who dared send you that? Give me your phone!”
Evelina turned pale with fear. That mysterious message could definitely not be seen by Alaric! She had finally found her footing in the Langston family and she didn’t want to go back to her impoverished life
