2/2 Chapter 17 Chapter 17 Lemira straightened her back , knowing deep down that Evelinas father had saved her life . So , when Asher brought Evelina home , she didnt object . In fact , she treated Evelina as if she were her own sister . However , as time went by , Lemira realized that Evelina was subtly stealing away her brothers affection . That was why her relationship with Evelina had soured . Lucian raised his voice in frustration , Lemira , listen to yourself ! Do you think were doing all this to harm you ? We just want you and Eve to get along . You cant even do this simple request ? How long are you going to hold this grudge ? Im not holding any grudge . As she heard Lucians words , all the questions that had been bottled up inside her seemed pointless . She had tried explaining herself hysterically in the past , but it never changed anything . She didnt want to be swayed by her brothers opinions anymore . Silently , Lemira packed her textbooks into her backpack from the coffee table , Glancing at her packed bag , she uttered in a low voice , theres nothing else , Ill head to my room . Lucian , sitting on the couch , looked visibly distressed , Lemira , if you agree to join the team now , we can forget what you did in the past . Hearing this , Lemira couldnt help but laugh at the absurdity . All the things she had done in her past life seemed like a joke now .

Lucian was the first to come downstairs . He noticed Lemiras early departure and frowned , Shes up this early ? These past few days , Ms. Langston has been taking public transport , avoiding the chauffeured car ever since Ms. Sterlings discussion with you made her slightly late last Monday . Shes been holding a grudge ever since and never taken the chauffeured car ! * Lucians expression turned complex . Caspian walked over , Is it worth it ? Just for being almost late ? Being such petty , who is she trying to impress ? Alaric yawned , Lucian , Lemira is just putting on a show to make you feel sorry for her . If you give in now , shell only push harder in the future . Eventually , Lucian remained silent . He felt that Lemira needed to learn her lesson ; he had given her a chance , but she had squandered it . Evelina , overhearing the conversation , smiled before bouncing down the stairs , Good morning , Lucian , Caspian , Alaric . Lets have breakfast together .
