But you know, the captain elections are all about skill, and Lemira’s pretty awesome at gaming. If Ms. Sinclair really wants to take down Lemira, making her the team captain might just be the best way to do it! I guess you’re right. Besides, the team captain around here is basically a puppet for the Sinclairs anyway!
Susanna turned and headed upstairs.
Evelina glanced back at Lemira’s classroom, a smug look flashing in her eyes. She knew she had to use Susanna to eliminate Lemira.
Otherwise, Lemira could use that evidence to blackmail her forever!
She had worked so hard to win over Dorian; she had to marry into the Draven family without any skeletons in her closet.
Checking her phone, Evelina saw another message from that so-called father, asking for money like a leech that wouldn’t go away!
She wanted to investigate whether this man was truly her father but dared not, fearing her brothers might notice something.
All she could do was put him on ice for now.
Evelina was nearly driven mad by all this pressure!

After class, Lemira received a message from a senior: [The school has removed Jackson as the team captain. There will be a new vote tomorrow night, and we hope you’ll sign up!] [Okay.]
After replying, Lemira messaged Michel, the captain of the Reapers: [Sorry, I’ve thought it over, and I still want to join the school’s team!]
Michel called her immediately: Why?
Because King used to play for the Orvin University Team before he went pro. He’s my idol, and I want to follow in his footsteps.
This had been Lemira’s dream in her previous life, which she hadn’t achieved.
Now that she was at Orvin University, she wanted to fulfill that old regret.
Michel sighed, Alright then, are you free to watch this year’s team finals this weekend? There’s a celebration party afterward, and a gathering among the gaming circles. If you’re running for captain of the Orvin University Team, it’d be beneficial for you to meet more people.
Thanks, I’ll definitely be there.
Lemira was polite, even though she had declined Michel’s invitation. After all, they could still be friends.
They would meet in next year’s competition, after all!
After leaving class, Lemira headed straight for the restroom.
Coming out, she found several girls from the Business School waiting.
Susanna walked in, her face filled with malice: Lemira, finally, I got a chance to catch you. After the cops took me away, was it you who hacked my phone and used my account to post those videos and photos?
If it weren’t for that, she wouldn’t be in this mess.
She wouldn’t have been taken into custody, wouldn’t be facing a lawsuit, and wouldn’t be at risk of jail time!
All because of Lemira!
Lemira stood her ground, her expression calm: Do you have any evidence?
Who else but you could pull off something like this?
Susanna grew more furious: Grab her, strip her, and throw her out! A country bumpkin like you doesn’t deserve to study at the same school as me, you lowlife!
As the girls moved in on her, Lemira her sleeves and swung

Slapping them across their

Lemira had been practicing boxing lately, and her punches had gotten a lot stronger.
She effortlessly disoriented the group of girls.
Only Susanna remained standing, as Lemira approached her with a cold demeanor.
What do you think you’re doing? I’m a Sinclair, my sister is engaged to the Everhart heir! So what?
Lemira’s gaze was deep, rubbing her wrists leisurely, a slight smile on her face.
