Asher frowned, "Alaric, don't defend Lemira. We'll know the truth after the investigation."

Lemira crossed her arms, "I think so too."

Asher, disappointed, looked at the investigators, "You see, she's always been headstrong. I wouldn't be surprised if she did it. Don't worry about sparing her feelings, just start the investigation." If Lemira learned her lesson this time, maybe she'd turn over a new leaf.

Evelina was beside herself with excitement. Finally, Lemira was knocked off her pedestal.

Why should Lemira be the top of the city when she couldn't even get into a mediocre college? If she did poorly, Lemira shouldn't get off easy either.
