Chapter 76
“I just hope everything stays peaceful before the exams. We’re all doing this for her own good. What do you think?”
Orion’s voice was calm, laced with a hint of arrogance, “You’re not in a position to talk to me, and no one can force Lemira to agree Otherwise, the kind of trouble your company faced before that playoff, it happen again.”
Lucian’s face paled. “Was that your doing?”
They were supposed to participate in the competition. But their company ran into trouble at the same time, and both Lucian and Caspian had to miss the competition
Caspian was still stuck there, dealing with the aftermath, unable to return.
Lucian’s gaze towards Onion hardened, “Who exactly are you? What are your intentions with getting close to Lemira?”
school doctor, pulling off something like this? Why would he deliberately get close to Lemira?
Orion’s tone was boldly dismissive, “That’s none of your business. In any case, nobody can stop Lemira from doing what she wants
Lucian’s Adam’s apple bobbed, “But she’ll agree. Though she hit them yesterday, Lemira is a kind–hearted kid”
Cu do? You
Orion scoffed, “She was on her period yesterday, she shouldn’t have been out in the rain or touch water at all. And what did you think you’re worthy of her kindness?”
Lucian felt a pang in his chest. What had they done? Alaric had
pressured Lemira to
in to give her umbrella to Evelina.
He couldn’t rebut a single word and left the infirmary in embarassment.
At lunchtime, Lemira headed straight to the infirmary after eating.
She saw Onion still having his lunch as walking in, “Still eating? The staff meals are better than ours, huh?”
“Got something to say?”
Orion slowly put down his utensils, guessing what she might be about to say from her expression. Lucian indeed knew Lemira well, always able to pinpoint her weaknesses.
After thinking for a moment, Lemira said, “Lucian talked to me today. To avoid any unnecessary trouble, I’ve decided to move back home.”
“Suit yourself,” Orion’s tone was somewhat cold.
Lemira glanced at him, “Then I head back to class.” She left without further explanation.
As she walked away, a voice called out, “Lemmy, don’t be mad at Orion. It’s just his way.”
“I know, I’m not mad.”
“Then why suddenly decide to move back? Your brothers always favored that adopted sister over you didn’t they?
Lemira hesitated before saying. I’m worried Asher will find out and cause trouble. He has a short fuse, and I don’t want him to make things difficult for Orion.”
“It seems you as his protege is grateful.”
Lemira blushed slightly, “Anyway, I’ve already talked it over with Lucian, so moving back shouldn’t be a problem. It save a lot of
trouble”
After Lemira left, Thaddeus sauntered back into the infirmary, “Did you hear that? Your protege is doing something nice for you wants protect you. Don’t scare her with that scowl.”
Orion frowned, “I need her protection?”
“Yeah, yeah, as if anyone would dare mess with you. But she doesn’t know about your real identity. It’s rare to find someone as genuine as her.”
“No need for your commentary
Orion was intemally upset. Lucian really
ally knew how to manipulate Lemira.
Back when Lemira was with the Langston family, they never cared that much about her. Now that she’d gone, they shamelessly try to pull
her back.
bo? That’s your signatum move!”
“Orion, there’s something I’ve always wondered about. How did Lemon
