Asher felt like he was the center of a joke, an embarrassment he had never experienced in this circle. All these were brought by Lemira.
Lemira descended from the stage, her gaze expressly icy, "Yesterday, did you reject a call from Orvin University's admissions, telling them I wouldn't attend?" Asher's face changed, at a loss for words.
"Did you demand I stay local, to attend the sschool as the Langston's adopted daughter who didn't even make it to the community college?" Lemira pressed on. The crowd was in shock.
"Lemira as a top scorer going to Orvin University is an envious achievement. To think the Langstons would turn away." "Exactly, if I had a daughter like her, I'd rent out a restaurant for three days straight to celebrate. If even the hobos didn't know about it, I'd consider it my failure." "The Langstons prefer a failure over their own talented sister? Must be blind!" Hearing these murmurs, Asher exploded in exasperation, "It's not like that. Staying local is for your own good!" "For my good?" Lemira's gaze dripped with sarcasm, "For my own good, you asked me, a top scorer, to study at a community college with someone mediocre? That's your idea of what's best for me? Sparethe Langstons' kindness." Asher couldn't meet Lemira's eyes, guilt-ridden.
Alaric jumped in, trying to defuse the tension, "Asher didn't mean it. Don't take it the wrong way!" "And you!" emira turned to Alaric, "Forcingto skip classes for a video gtournament, relying onto win the playoff. Without me, you didn't stand a chance in the finals." Alaric felt a pang of guilt, "Sorry, it's all on me. I should've never pressured you. Thankfully, your grades weren't affected." "I don't need your apologies, but I'm done with the Langstons. Make sure you understand that." Lemira turned and left the venue, determined to cut all ties with the Langston family.
Asher, fuming, gazed at his secretary, "Keep this under wraps. We can't let it spread." Otherwise, the Langston family would beca laughingstock.

Alaric was anxious, "Asher, why turn away Orvin University's offer? Lemira's the top scorer. Our parents would be thrilled if they know we have an Orvin student in the family." Asher, lost for words, remained stubborn, not willing to admit he did something wrong, "For her temperament, what if she causes trouble at Orvin University. Staying local is best for her."
"Asher! She's got us to look out for her at Orvin. What trouble could she make? Why can't you think it youble straight?" Realizing Asher's mistake, Alaric hurried out after Lemira.
Lemira walked alone, Orion by her side, "Feeling better?" "Yeah." "Ready to stop avoiding them?"
Lemira's lips were curled into a cold smile, "I thought distancing myself from the Langstons would fetstart anew. But now I notice sjust don't learn until you spelit out for them."
After speaking her mind, she felt a weight lift off her shoulders "Lemmy, wait up for me!"
