Chapter 16 Chapter 16 With so much time left , Ill give it my all . Orions gaze settled on her , eventually lowering as he spoke in a cool tone , Dont ask such simple questions in the future ! Lemira chuckled . Was that his way of saying she could keep asking ? For the following days , Lemira would hang around the infirmary after school , not leaving until she finished her homework . Evelina , on the other hand , began to lose focus in class due to her e sports training , even falling asleep during lessons .. Of course , being a teachers pet , Evelina only had to mention she wasnt feeling well , and the teacher let it slide . Lemira saw Evelina bragging about the training camp on Facebook , posting photos and videos of her battling alongside the brothers in the game , all under a unified team tag . That name was the same as in her past life , although Lemira hadnt been a part of it . Too busy with games to do your homework ? Orion approached , noticing the gaming video on her phone . Lemira shook her head , No , just browsing . Studys my top priority right now . With the midterm exam next week , if you make it into the top hundred , you can play the game . Lemira looked up , smiling , Then , will you be my lead ? She knew Orion played the game , too . Orion , with a half lowered gaze , still looked effortlessly cool . He replied , Havent played in a while . Lets see how you do in the exam . Its a promise then . Watching Orions retreating figure , Lemira was determined to rank in the top hundred . After all , Orion seemed pretty confident in his skills . Back in her previous life , she had been quite the gamer herself . Maybe , just maybe , she could surprise Orion in the game and reclaim . some of her pride . Suddenly , Lemira was looking forward to it . After finishing her homework , she headed home , only to find Lucian sitting on the couch as she entered the living room . Her heart skipped a beat . Why was he home early ? Hadnt her brothers been at the training camp , usually returning late ? Lucian looked up , his tone stern , Where have you been ? Its late ! Lemiras heart raced , hoping he hadnt discovered her after school visits to the infirmary . She didnt want to lose that last bit of solitude . Looking down , she replied , I was at the public library . Its quiet there , helps me focus . Let me see your backpack . Handing it over , Lemira watched as Lucian flipped through her notebooks , filled with notes and practice tests . After a thorough inspection , Lucian looked puzzled . The butler had reported that Lemira hadnt been coming home on time , and they didnt know where she was . Turned out , she had been studying after all . Lucian set the backpack down , Lemon , we need to talk . Lucian , what about ? Seeing the quiet Lemira before him , Lucian felt she had changed a lot , yet couldnt pinpoint exactly how . Previously , Lemira would have been tearfully protesting or even tattling . But now , she remained silent . It seemed Lemira was slipping from their control . Lucian began , Eves been improving rapidly . If you joined the training , you could progress together . You have the talent . Taking some time for the training camp wont set back your studies . Wouldnt it be nice for us to be united as a family ? Asher would be so pleased to see us all getting along . Lemira looked down , her gaze mocking . She firmly responded , I dont want to join the team . Lemira , Evelina is part of our family , and so are you . We should move forward together , not alienate her like youre doing . After all , her dad saved your life ! Lucian couldnt understand . He had given her so many opportunities , why couldnt Lemira see that ? Their kindness to Evelina was meant to repay her for her fathers deed . The living room fell into an uncomfortable silence , the tense atmosphere almost suffocating Lemira . Clutching her fists , she was at her breaking point . To hell with it ! 1/2 22:39 Chapter 16 Lemira Tetorted sarcastically , Lucian , would you be satisfied if I just handed my life over to Evelina ?
