When They Beg, I Rise!

Chapter 216

As Lucian found himself booted out of the live stream, his fingers, midway through a transaction, quivered before coming to a halt. A bitter smile crept across his face. It seemed Lemmy was genuinely heartbroken, not just throwing a fit as he'd thought. If only he'd realized the problem sooner, perhaps things wouldn't have escalated to this point.

"Mr. Lucian Langston, I have dire news. Ms. Sterling attempted to harm herself. Thankfully, Mr. Alaric Langston intervened in time. They're on their way to the hospital."

Lucian quickly set his phone aside, "Why would she do such a thing?"

The butler, clearly indignant, replied, "I heard though the school didn't penalize Ms. Sterling, they've decided to nullify her exam scores. It was too much for her to bear, prompting her drastic action. Mr. Lucian Langston, you must speak to her later." Lucian massaged his temples, "Why does everyone have to be so troublesome? Lemmy never worried me with her grades, and she ended up doing so well."

With an upset face, the butler countered, "Ms. Sterling's poor performance is on Ms. Langston. It was Ms. Langston's fault Ms. Sterling fell ill and couldn't perform better. And now, her scores being annulled due to a friend's actions, it's a hard pill to swallow." "Look, everyone might discuss Lemmy's scores, but you, of all people, don't have the right. Remember the defective stationery you provided her? It nearly jeopardized her exam."

Head down, the butler fell silent instantly.

Recalling these events only deepened Lucian's guilt towards Lemira.

Soon, Evelina was sent to the hospital, her face pale, "Lucian, it's all my fault. With my scores annulled, I've brought shame upon the Langston family."
