When They Beg, I Rise!

Chapter 225

Orion finally replied and tossed his phone aside, his expression returning to normal, "I'll be home for dinner tonight."

Meanwhile, Lemira, upon receiving Orion's short reply - just a simple "Congratulations" - couldn't help but sigh at how this man was as sparing with words as ever.

After the event wrapped up, Lemira started packing up her things, ready to leave.

Lucian and Alaric approached her, both wearing expressions that blended caution with a hint of eagerness to please.

"Lemmy, you're here in Orvin this new city all by yourself, and school hasn't even started yet. It might be tough living alone, so why don't you come stay with us?" Lucian offered carefully.

Alaric nodded vigorously, "Yeah, the Langstons have a place here in Orvin too. The biggest room is all yours, Eve doesn't even get a say."

With Evelina not around in Orvin, they could afford to be extra nice to Lemira, trying to make up for past mistakes.

"No need, I just bought a place here in Orvin myself. That big room should still go to Evelina. After all, her father has been a savior to the Langstons. You can't afford to be petty, Alaric, what would people think of the Langstons if words get out?" Lemira's face was laced with sarcasm; she did it on purpose.

how could you afford one on your own? Did that school doctor give you the money?" "Watch your mouth. I earned that money myself. As a top streamer on PixelStage, my signing bonus was in the millions. What's it to you if I buy a house?" Lemira's retort left Alaric speechless. He had forgotten that Lemira was now a big name on PixelStage, her game strategies widely used by professional teams.
