Chapter 240ย Lemiraโs mood was getting more irritable by the minute.ย Just then, her phone buzzed with a message from Lucian. [Lemmy, Iโm outside the campus. Picked up some essentials for you. Can you come out and grab them?]ย Feeling agitated, Lemira had no desire to meet anyone from the Langston family. She replied curtly. [No need, give them to Evelina.] Standing beside his car, Lucian initially smiled when he saw Lemiraโs reply. However, her actual response made his smile wry.ย It seemed Lemira was still far from forgiving him.ย Evelina was heading back to Lyria for a repeat year and wouldnโt be staying in Orvin. There was no point in giving these items to Evelina!ย Lucian lingered outside the campus for a while, feeling tom.ย He knew Lemira was there but didnโt dare approach her, worried about making her more upset. He was amazed that his sister had made it into Orvin University and excelled, yet he had overlooked her, focusing more on Evelina instead.ย As Lucian was about to leave, he noticed dozens of students in blue uniforms exiting the university building, one of whom looked familiar.ย His expression changed slightly, โEvelina, what are you doing here?โย Evelinaโs face turned awkward as she humed over, nervously saying, โLucian, what why are you here?โย โI should be asking you that. Why havenโt you gone back for your repeat year? What are you doing at Orvin University, and in a Business School uniform no lessโย Evelina answered in a whispered voice, โAsher arranged it. He said thereโs no point in repeating the year since I wouldnโt get into a better university anyway. Itโs better to make some connections at the Business School. It would be good for my future!โย Lucian was annoyed, โThe Business School is a gathering place for Orvin heirs. What business do you have there? How can it possibly benefit your future?โย Evelinaโs eyes were a bit red, but she had made up her mind not to return to her old life. She was determined to stay in Orvin, hoping to marry into wealth through Asherย She refused to endure a life of povertyย Lucian frowned, โCome back with me first. Iโll talk to Asher about this.โย โLucian, I know I come from a humble background, but I have my own dreams. I donโt want to go back. My classmates are waiting for me, I have to go.โย With that, Evelina ran off. She wasnโt about to give up this rare opportunity to connect with the heirs of the Business School.ย Watching Evelina disappear, Lucian immediately called Asher, โAsher, why is Evelina at the Business School? She was supposed to go back for her repeat yearโย โIt was my decision. Being at the Business School is good for Everย โBut didnโt you say that spot at the Business School was reserved for Lemmy?โย At that time, Lemiraโs grades werenโt great, and Asher had mentioned the Business School opportunity. But unexpectedly, Lemira had gotten into Orvin University on her own merit!ย โThe spot was indeed reserved for Lemira.โย Asher scoffed, โBut look at her, cutting ties with the family and even causing the corporationโs systems to crash. How does she deserve the privileges the Langston family offered her?โย Lucian struggled with mixed feelings, unable to soothe them or voice his frustration. He felt deeply saddened.ย He stared at the message Lemira had replied with, suspecting she already knew about Evelina being at the Business School.ย Returning to her dorm, Lemira checked her phone and saw her classmates discussing how she had been isolated by the Business School.ย Clara and Janice walked in, making the atmosphere even more awkward.ย Clara was clearly displeased, โGreat, stuck in the same dorm with some people! Would it kill her to apologize?โย Lemira abruptly pulled back her chair, the screeching noise filling the room. She looked up, her gaze fiery and intense.ย
