When They Beg, I Rise!

Lemira snorted, feeling no need to respond.

"Lemira, I get that you feel slighted, thinking we favor Evelina over you. But isn't it because her father once saved your life? And she's always been such a sweet and sensible girl. Is it so wrong that we treat her a little better? If you're going to blame anyone, blame me, but leave Evelina out of it!"

Lemira felt her temples throbbing with irritation. She was momentarily speechless.

With a mocking smile, she replied, "I'm blame myself, is that okay?"

Blaming herself for not seeing through the so-called family bond sooner! Lemira stormed off to class.

Lucian stood outside, a picture of helplessness.

He wanted to mend fences with Lemira, but she seemed to be having none of it! How could he make Lemira understand that his strictness came from the fact that she was his actual sister. But not Evelina, which was why he was more lenient with her. It wasn't favoritism!

Evelina approached, "Lucian, I'm sorry. Maybe I should move out to prevent Lemmy from constantly being upset with you guys. I hate to see you and your sister alienated over me."

Lucian managed a weak smile, "Don't be silly, it has nothing to do with you. You don't need to move out. You're my sister, always."
