When They Beg, I Rise!

Chapter 302

Lemira was enjoying a rare sleep-in when the shrill ring of her phone cut through the air. Glancing at the caller ID, she recognized it as possibly belonging to the Sinclair family's lawyer. She got up and walked over to the balcony, and answered the call.

"Lemira, this incident with Jackson - it was your orchestration, wasn't it? Taking on the Sinclairs so brazenly won't end well for you. It could even drag your family into this mess!" Family?

Lemira's voice was calm, "I didn't force Jackson to cross-dress into the girls' dorm. Besides, he gave me some dirt on the Sinclairs last night, begging for mercy."

The lawyer's tone edged into panic, "Do you really expect me to believe that?"

"Believe it or not, that's your problem."

Lemira hung up squarely, a smirk spreading across her face. She had said it on purpose, knowing full well the Sinclairs would stir trouble for Jackson. She had no intention of letting that scumbag off easy.

Scrolling through her phone, she saw that last night's dorm incident had exploded online. Everyone was talking about it, and given Jackson's role as captain of the Orvin Team, it had even caught the gaming community's eye - unsurprisingly, he was the one getting flamed.

Lemira decided to sift through the data she'd gotten from Jackson the night before on her computer, looking for evidence of the Sinclairs' money laundering. That would keep them from acting rashly.

Soon, there was a knock on the door. Janice opened it to find a few female teachers stepping in, "We heard about last night's incident here, so we wanted to ask what exactly happened?"
