Huh, did they really think she was still the same old Lemir? They grand favor to her.
She didn’t care anymore.
Alanc, on the other hand, seemed guilty, unable to meet Lemira’s eyes, waiting for Lucian to intervene.
Lucian, acting as the head of the family, continued, “Lemmy, after this competition, you’ve proven your strength. Your place in the team is irreplaceable.” With that, Lemira should feel reassured.
Evelina’s face darkened. She was incredibly resentful.
Despite all her efforts, why was it so easy for Lemira to snatch her place? She might lack natural talent, but her efforts were no less than
mira’s
Alaric looked at Lemira hopefully, though he didn’t speak, he too wished for Lemira to join the team. They had extended an olive branch surely, Lemira wouldn’t stay mad.
Lemira’s gaze was icy, “I refuse.”
Alaric was taken aback, “Why?”
“I joined the competition because someone disrespected our parents, not because I had any interest in joining the team.”
“But you’ve obviously been practicing in secret, isn’t that to come back?”
Lemira hadn’t become this good overnight. She must have been secretly training, if not to join the team then what for?
Alaric didn’t believe her, staring straight at her.
Lemira, with her clear cold gaze, replied, “No.”
Alaric’s heart sank; he couldn’t help but say, ‘Lemira, do I need to apologize personally for you to forgive me?”
Lemira stopped in her tracks, “It’s not about forgiveness. The world doesn’t revolve around the SkyBlaze tearn.”
She loved competing, but wouldn’t be confined to SkyBlaze. The message was clear
“Lemmy, I know I’m the one you hate!” Evelina suddenly shouted, her voice breaking.
Almost everyone turned to look at Evelina.
Evelina walked towards Lemira, her tone submissive, “Alaric really hopes you would join the team. If it’s because of my presence that you’re upset, i leave the team right away. I won’t compete with you for the spot!”
Lemira was impatient, “You better shut up. My decision not to join is because I don’t want to, it has nothing to do with anyone. Stop flattering yourself.”
“I knew it, you’re still angry because I overreached and took your spot. I thought I could grab the opportunity you didn’t want, to prove myself and contribute to the Langston family, but I was too clumsy!”
Evelina sniffled, her voice soft and pitiful, tugging people’s heartstrings.
Lucian felt sorry for Evelina’s sensible demeanor, “Eve, it’s Alaric who went too far, making Lemmy upset. It’s not your fault.”
Alaric felt wronged and even more exasperated but remained indifferent towards Evelina’s act of playing the victim. He began to regret letting Evelina join the team. She isn’t cut out to build a career with them.
Evelina, seeing Alaric’s indifference, took a drastic step. She suddenly pulled out an eyebrow trimmer and pointed it at her wrist, “Lemmy, if I were gone, I wouldn’t compete with you for the spot anymore. You can rest assured!”
Lemira stepped back, shocked. Had Evelina lost her mind? Whether she joined the team or not, what was it to her?
Wasn’t Evelina the one who least wanted to see her join the team? And now she was resorting to self–harm to pressure her
Was she out
of her mind?
Alaric was also frightened, “Eve, calm down. It has nothing to do with you.”
Evelina turned her tears into a smile, “Alaric, it’s all my fault. Maybe I shouldn’t have taken the chance Lemmy didn’t want from the beginning, then I wouldn’t have made her angry. Anyway, having grown up in the Langston family has been more than enough for me. I’m willing to die satisfied!”
Alaric’s heart softened instantly, his previous grievances against Evelina fading away.
