When They Beg, I Rise!

Lemira's eyes glinted with sarcasm, making Asher feel a twinge of guilt. Eventually, he turned and left the room with Evelina.

Lucian stepped up to Lemira. "Lemmy, how about you sleep in the guest room tonight? I'll have someone clean up your room."

Caspian glanced at Lemira. "Did you know about Evelina's plan in advance?"

Otherwise, how would Evelina have ended up in Lemira's room unannounced?

Lemira's eyes were cold. "How could I have known about Evelina's plan? Let's just say she faced the consequences of her own actions."

She nodded towards the empty milk bottle on the table. "There's a bit left; it could serve as evidence."

As for the milk, she hadn't drunk it. Most of it had gone down the drain, but enough remained for proof.

Lucian's gaze at Lemira was complicated. He had a hunch that Lemira had anticipated Evelina's scheme, turning it on its head so Evelina would taste her own medicine. Everyone had their suspicions.

Lucian spoke up, "Lemmy, you should get some rest in the guest room. We can deal with this tomorrow."

Lemira turned and headed to the guest room.

Lucian couldn't help but voice his thoughts, "Caspian, have you noticed how much Lemmy's changed? She knew about Evelina's malicious plot and could have stopped it, but she stayed in the bathroom, letting Zack assaulted Evelina."

Lucian was struggling to come to terms with Lemira's indifference.

Caspian sighed, "Lucian, if Lemira hadn't been smart, she would have been the victim today. I think she did the right thing. Evelina needed to learn the hard way." "But wasn't it enough to just teach Evelina a lesson? Did it have to go this far?"
