Chapter 289
Clara’s face changed drastically. No way, she would never do that!
Lemira’s expression turned icy, “What, is Jackson chickening out now? Well, he doesn’t have to eat his hat, but there’s an alternative.” Jackson visibly relaxed, “Okay, what’s your idea p>
“Just stand at the entrance and shout three times, ‘Lemira, I’m sorry, I’m a dumbass.’ Then we’ll call it even p>
She wasn’t a saint, and she determined to have the last word. But Jackson balked at the idea.
Michel sneered, “Jackson, I didn’t realize you were such a coward p>
Red-faced with embarrassment, Jackson eventually stood at the entrance, yelling, “Lemira, I’m sorry, I’m a dumbass p>
Lemira captured the moment on her phone, and then walked into the hall with Michel, leaving Jackson looking striking sour.
Clara, always one to stir the pot, whispered, “Jackson, there’s gotta be something fishy between Lemira and that guy. Why else would he defend her p>
“You might be onto something. I mean, I practically know all the influencers around, and Lemira? Never heard of her before!” Jackson spat, “Lemira, that witch, I’ll make her pay soon p>
“Exactly, we can expose her on spot. After all, she’s not even an influencer, just clinging to men to get ahead. The real deal influencers will definitely shun her p>
Clara was already picturing Lemira ostracized and humiliated. As Jackson and Clara plotted against Lemira, they moved deeper into the venue.
Janice, overhearing, glanced at the guest list. The only anonymous host was SweetLemon. Could that be Lemira?
She pulled out her phone and texted Lemira. [Clara and Jackson are plotting to expose and revenge on you. Be careful p>
Lemira read the message, a cold smile playing on her lips. “Looks like some people never learn,” she thought.
Standing with Michel, she mingled with other prominent influencers from PixelStage.
“Ms. Lemon, you’ve streamed less since the semester started, even missed your weekend stream. I heard you got injured p>
“Yes, had a car accident, but thankfully, nothing serious p>
Lemira’s forehead was covered with a band-aid, hiding the stitches.
“I heard the Everhart heir also had a car accident while out with his new flame, but it got hushed up pretty quickly. Not many people know about this.” “Yeah, that Orvin heir is so low-key. Wonder which lucky lady caught his eye p>
The gossip piqued Lemira’s interest. The Everhart heir? She recalled a call from the Sinclair family’s lawyer mentioning him!
In her previous life, Lemira had
heard of him, but the Langstons and the Everhart heir were worlds apart, not in the same league and never crossed paths.
Stirring trouble for the Langstons seemed appealing, especially if it kept Asher from targeting Maple Group.
Michel, though, looked at Lemira thoughtfully, “Do you know the Everhart heir p>
“I’ve heard of him, but me knowing the Everhart heir? Hardly possible p>
Yet Michel remained skeptical. What a coincidence both Lemira and Orion suffered car accidents. He remembered seeing Lemira with Orion in Lyria. Could he have been mistaken?
As the event kicked off, Michel took the stage, “Welcome, everyone, to this speciakevent. PixelStage has always had a great relationship with Orvin Team, which is why we’re hosting here. We’ve got a fun game lined up. Members of the university clubs can challenge our game streamers. Winners will get a prize p>
