When They Beg, I Rise!

Lemira flipped the dinner table over, and then casually wiped her hands.

Alaric, witnessing Lemira's uncharacteristic outburst, exclaimed, "Lemira, have you lost your mind?"

Lemira had never acted out like this before, even going as far as to use a lighter to set Evelina's belongings on fire! It was so unlike her.

Lemira kicked a chair aside, her voice indifferent, tinged with impatience, "You all are too noisy. If you don't want to eat, then let's not eat at all!"

Her patience was wearing thin. She couldn't stand watching the fake angel Evelina put on her act any longer. It was nauseating.

Evelina immediately burst into tears, "It's all my fault, all my fault. I'm the real sinner here!"

"Eve, you're just too kind. If anyone should leave, it's her!"

Lemira readily agreed, "Fine, I'll leave!" Now that her objective was achieved, she saw no reason to waste more time here.

Lucian instantly objected, "No, Lemon, you can't leave. This is your home. Where else could you go?"

"Lucian, just cancel her credit cards and let's see how long she can last out there on her own!"

Lemira, unfazed, didn't take it to heart the least bit, "Whatever."

The memory of her credit cards being canceled in her previous life, leaving her destitute and nearly begging on the streets, was something she could never forget.
