When They Beg, I Rise!

Chapter 301

Lemira wasn't eager to spill her guts to Orion. Their last encounter, over a surveillance footage fiasco, had almost spelled disaster for Orion.

This incident Jackson had the Sinclairs as his backing, and Lemira was hesitant to drag Orion back into the fray. He deserved a peaceful life back in Lyria. Her own battle with the Langstons was far from over. Peace was a luxury she couldn't afford.

"No need to dig too deep, I checked the University's online forum. That Jackson's the captain of the Orvin Team, a notorious sleaze targeting freshmen. With Lemon's looks and gaming prowess, she caught his eye. He even tried to woo her outside her dorm this afternoon."

Seeing Orion's mood darken, Thaddeus quickly added, "But Lemon turned him down. Chances are, the jerk took it personally and bribed the dorm keeper to mess with her."
