Lemira gazed at the teddy bear, never having agreed to participate in the final showdown.
Ah, yes, this teddy bear was once her favorite brand. Super Teddy was a limited edition, hard to cby.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn her past life, she had managed to snag one, but only because Evelina needed a teddy bear for a giveaway during her livestream, Alaric had pressured her into giving the bear to Evelina.
Eventually, the bear was handed over to a so-called fan, who turned out to be a creep, dismembering the teddy and hiding dead rats inside before sending it back.
Looking at this bear, Lemira felt as if she was seeing the tragic end of her previous life. She had tried to forget all about it, but it always resurfaced.
One of Lemira's fans nearby asked, "Is Lemira really going to the finals? But I heard she's not on the team roster!" Lucian, with a gentle demeanor, replied, "The list hasn't been updated yet. Lemmy is a Langston, how could she miss the team competition? Besides, the finals are after the exams, so it won't affect her studies." "How does Lemira manage to excel in both her studies and gaming?" "I'm so jealous Lemira has so many brothers! And they're all so nice to her!" Hearing these words, Lemira couldn't help but feel the irony. Stabbed countless times, and now they thought a teddy bear could make everything alright? Lemira's expression was cold, "Lucian, I don't like teddy bears anymore, you don't know that?" Lucian's face stiffened, "I-I'm sorry. I remember you used to love it." "That was then. I'm in high school now; my interests have obviously changed." After Lemira's remark, Lucian looked even more discomforted. He felt even guiltier, realizing he hadn't been a good enough brother to know that she had outgrown her fondness for teddy bears.
Evelina stepped in, saying, "Lucian, you're always so busy with work and taking care of your siblings, it's normal to not remember everything. At least you remember what Lemmy likes. I have no family left to remember what I like. How I envy Lemmy for having a family that cares." Lucian understood Evelina was giving him an out, and his heart softened. Lemira always felt he was biased, but Evelina's sensibility made it hard not to treat her well.
He said, "Eve, you're a Langston, too. I remember what you like, and I'll surprise you too." Evelina looked genuinely surprised and touched, and then turned to Lemira, "You should accept this gift. What you don't want might be something others can only dream of getting." Lemira glared at Evelina. So, she wanted to take everything from her? Hmph. Lemira grabbed the teddy bear and thrust it into Evelina's arms, "Now you have it." After doing so, she turned and walked away.

"Lemira, where are you going?" Lucian hurried after her, "I know o'm you've been wronged all this time. I was too caught up in work and neglected your feelings. I promise it won't happen again."
Lemira only felt sorry for all the sacrifices she did in her past life Indeed, the squeaky wheel got the grease, but she wasn't after any consolation prize. Lemira remained calm, "Let it be. Stop following me."
Lucian stepped in front of her, "No, you have to cback withtoday. You can't go with that school doctor. Ktalked to the principal today about you and Alaric. I've already made him move out, so we're not breaking any rules, and you won't be in any danger."
