Live and let live, unless they throw the first punch!
Sad to say, those rich boys wouldn’t dare to make a move!
Dorian was so infuriated, he was determined to teach Lemira a lesson.
But this had to stay under the radar; his mom probably wouldn’t approve of Evelina’s background, and the only person he could turn to was his cousin: Thaddeus.
Dorian dialed Thaddeus: Cuz, I need your help with something.
What have you gotten yourself into now?
Not me, it’s my girlfriend; she’s run into some trouble.
Which one? You’ve got so many, can you even keep track?
Dorian felt a bit sheepish: This one’s for real. I met her back in Lyria, and now she’s at Orvin University Business School.
Thaddeus raised an eyebrow, wondering if it was Evelina.
Cuz, my girlfriend got a lawyer’s letter. Something about this Maple Group planning to sue. Don’t you know a hotshot lawyer? Maybe give them a call, warn off Maple Group’s legal eagles. Thaddeus burst into laughter, incredulous: Living the easy life and now trying to talk tough?
Cuz, please, I’m begging you.
Sure, I’ll help.
Thanks a ton, cuz.
Dorian hung up, feeling quite pleased with himself.
Thaddeus, on the other hand, was fuming, muttering under his breath: What’s with this girl, casting a spell on Dorian, making him fight her battles?
And now roping him into finding a lawyer!
Absolutely toxic!
Thaddeus immediately called Orion to fill him in.
Orion’s tone turned icy: Is your cousin looking for trouble?
He’s been off his rocker since we were kids. Just letting you know, I’ll handle the lawyer stuff. No need for you to step in.
If Orion got involved, Dorian was in for a world of hurt.
Currently, the Sinclair family was already dealing with business headaches, losing their former swagger.
All thanks to Orion’s behind-the-scenes maneuvering, ensuring the Sinclairs wouldn’t hassle Lemira!
And now, trouble at the Dravens too!
Frustrating!

Lemira headed straight for the gym, changing into her workout gear and making her way to the boxing area.
She glanced towards the pillar where Orion stood the day before.
Ms. Langston, I’ve put together a training plan for you. Take a

Lemira saw the trainer from yesterday: You again?
I work here, so, yeah.
She thought he was sent by Orion to monitor her.
Turned out, he was just a regular gym employee.
Was she overthinking it?

Lemira checked the training plan: Looks good to me. Let’s roll with it.
She had improved a lot and didn’t want to risk injury.
After her workout, lying on the floor, catching her breath, she
half-expected him to show up el

But he didn’t come today.
Well, Orion had proved his point yesterday.
Post-shower, Lemira, gym bag in tow, leisurely made her way back to school.
Reaching her dorm, she spotted a familiar, yet unwelcome, figure.
The Langstons, always lurking around?
Lucian, with a hint of pleading: Lemmy.
We’re not close, don’t call me that.

Lemira glanced at her hand, surprised by her own strength.
Hogan rushed out: Ms. Lemira, the boss is seriously ill.
