apter 19 Chapter 19 Lemira paused , her voice polite yet distant , Lucian , Caspian , Alaric . If she didnt call out to them , theyd probably accuse her of sulking and being rude again . She didnt have the energy to argue over such trivialities and waste time . Alaric raised an eyebrow , How did todays test go ? You claim to be focusing on your studies instead of joining the team . Im curious to see just how well you can do ! Lemira didnt take Alarics jibe to heart . Whatever she did , her brothers never seemed impressed . She pursed her lips , Ill do my best . Her best to improve her grades , her best to get into Orvin University and get away from them . Caspian scoffed , Lemira was never cut out for academics . She didnt do too well in her freshman and sophomore years in senior high hool either . Crashing at the last minute just looks like shes making efforts . Shes still going to rank behind Eve in the end anyway ! Evelina chimed in with a smile , Caspian , dont be so harsh . Lemmy has been working hard lately , even the teachers have praised her . Lemira clenched her backpack , anger sweeping through her chest . In her past life , there was a reason for her poor grades . It was because every time she did better than Evelina , Evelina would cause trouble for her , leading to her brothers disliking her , To avoid their disdain , Lemira would deliberately underperform in her exams . So , her grades being worse than Evelinas was just to avoid stirring the pot . That didnt mean she wasnt capable ! In her past life , she wanted to outperform Evelina to prove she was better . But what happened in the end ? Asher forced her to apply to the same mediocre college as Evelina , despite her being eligible for better schools ! Thinking of this , Lemira struggled to control her emotions , Im going to my room . Her gaze was icy , but this time she wouldnt make the same mistakes . The next day was a Saturday , and Lemira slept in . When she went downstairs for breakfast , the hall was empty . They were probably at the training camp . Lemira didnt mind ; she went back to her room after eating . She checked her phone for updates on the gaming competition . As expected , the announcement for the playoff was posted , just like in her past life . Back then , Alaric was like a man possessed during the revival matches , determined to win . Only by advancing could they seek revenge against young Everhart in the finals ! But in her past life , SkyBlaze winning the championship was more luck than skill . Young Everharts last minute withdrawal from the competition gave them a chance to win . Why he withdrew , Lemira never found out , even until her death . Some said it was a sudden illness , others said he was pulled back to take over the family business , but the man himself never clarified . Looking at the game details , Lemira felt tempted to play . But then she remembered Orions voice in her head . She had a deal with him : her decision to play would depend on her monthly exam results . Alright , shed wait a bit longer , at least until the exam results were out . She took out her phone , hesitated , and then texted Orion : [ Orion , I didnt go to the infirmary after school last week because Lucian found out I wasnt home on time . I was worried hed discover my secret hideout , so I didnt come . ] After sending the message , Lemira stared at the chat for a while but got no reply . She couldnt resist checking Orions Facebook, only to find nothing new . Doesnt he ever post on Facebook ? Weird ! She thought to herself . Meanwhile , Orion glanced at the message he received , his eyes narrowing slightly . Orion , whos messaging you ? Discover our latest featured short drama reel. Watch now and enjoy the story!
