Chapter 31 Chapter 31 Lemira caught Alarics gaze , her eyebrows knitting together . At that moment , her phone buzzed with a call from Lucian . Leminy , youre at the venue , right ? A bad feeling settled in the pit of Lemiras stomach . She wanted to deny it , but the squeals of fans around her spoke volumes . Lemmy , Caspian and I got caught up with some urgent business at the office , so we cant make it to the game . Todays match is a big deal for Alaric and you should join the team in our stead . Whatever beef youve had with Alaric before , its time to set differences aside , night ? When push comes to shove , weve got to stick together Hearing Lucians words drowned out the fans cheers for Lemira Her silence was deafening . She abruptly ended the call , not wanting to say a word . She came to enjoy the farce , not to participate . Oh stage . Alanc waited for Lemira to leave her seat and head backstage , growing impatient by the minute . He said with a stem face , Whats Lemira playing at ? Do I really need to go down there and ask her myself ? Evelina said with a hint of amusement , Alaric , let me message Lemmy for you . But seeing her just sitting there , shes probably still mad . Otherwise , knowing her , she wouldve been backstage with you by now . Alaric remembered the old Lemira , who wouldve instinctively known what he needed from her . He had grown accustomed to her support . But suddenly , Lemira seemed like a completely different person , You call her , he said stiffly . If she agrees to play , Ill let bygones be bygones and treat her like a sister again . What happened at school earlier was due to his racklessness . He was willing to overlook their past disputes , hoping for a return to their former state . Evelinas expression faltered slightly , and she forced herself a reply , Okay , I call Lemmy right away . For your sake , I believe shell come . Alarics mood slightly improved . Evelina stepped aside to make the call , her gaze landing on Lemira below . Her eyes darkened . Seeing Evelinas name on her phone and noticing her on the stage , Lemira guessed the nature of the call without picking up . She declined the call directly , her face expressionless as she watched the stage . Evelina , upon being hung up on , looked surprised but then smirked , relieved to not waste her time . Evelina didnt want Lemira in the game , stealing her thunder . She wanted Lemira to witness firsthand how she and Alaric would clinch the victory . They didnt need Lemira to win ! Returning to Alarics side with feigned tears , Evelina said , Alaric , I guess I just dont have the gift of gab. Lemmy probably hates me now , thats why she didnt pick up . Maybe I should go talk to her in person ? Alarics expression darkened , No need . Lucian already told me he tried calling Lemira and got hung up on . Its clear she has no intention of joining the team for the game . Dont bother . Evelina , I trust Lemmy isnt the type to just come for laughs . Ha , well win this match and she wont have her way , with that , Alaric put on his headphones , tuning out everything at the auditorium . Evelinas face lit up with satisfaction , thinking , Lemira , Ive got the upper hand this time . The match commenced swiftly . SkyBlaze VS IronVow . Lemira watched the commentary on the big screen . Initially , Alaric , playing the assassin , led his team into an ambush . But the opposing team seemed to have done their homework on Alarics tactics , even predicting their bait strategy .
