When They Beg, I Rise!

Lemira had been enduring her brothers' cold war tactics for ages. Finally, when Caspian suggested she apply to the same college as Evelina, to keep an eye on each other, it seemed like some sort of compensation for influencing Evelina's grades. What kind of reasoning was that?

But in her past life, she never dared to go against her brothers' wishes, so she had no choice but to agree.

As Lemira mused over this, Wendy, one of Evelina's sidekicks, burst into the classroom, confronting Evelina, "It was clearly you who wanted to cheat, so why am I the one getting punished?"

Tears streaming down her face, Evelina responded, "I didn't cheat. Why are you framing me? I didn't ask you to write that note!"

"It's obviously you, Evelina. Why won't you admit it? Weren't we supposed to be friends? Why would you stab me in the back?"

The sidekick practically went crazy for anxiety. With the punishment hanging over her head, how was she going to handle the exam? Evelina, however, managed to look completely innocent, and the people around started blaming the sidekick for slandering her.

Deep down, Evelina was calm. She knew she wouldn't get into trouble. Teachers and classmates would always take her word over others.

In despair, Wendy turned to Lemira, "I finally understand how you feel. Evelina is nothing but a snake, pretending to be a saint but actually a venomous widow!"
