When They Beg, I Rise!

Alaric finally felt like he got one over on Lemira.

"Lemira, I gave you a chance before, and you blew it. Can't blame anyone but yourself."

Lemira's lips curved into an indifferent smirk, "Couldn't care less."

"Lemira, you owe Eve an apology!" Alaric no longer held back, seeing as he had given up on expecting anything from Lemira.

Lemira raised an eyebrow, "It's my room and she stayed without my permission. I have every right to be upset."

"It happened for a reason. Eve just sleeps here for a few days, it won't hurt anyone."

"Why didn't you let Evelina stay in the squad for the finals, then? Because she's not good enough and you think she'll drag you down? How petty can you get? Evelina put her grades on the line to compete, and you sideline her? We're a family team, for crying out loud. Sure, Evelina might not be the best player, but she gives it her all. So what if you lose the finals? It's not the end of the world!"

Lemira's rapid-fire tirade left Alaric speechless.

The mocking look on Lemira's face was clear. She thought, "What, can't handle a taste of your own medicine?"

When Alaric used to moralize like this, he was so self-righteous. Now that the tables were turned, he couldn't take it?

Alaric got all red-faced and fuming, "Lemira, you're hopeless! If you
