When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 725

Lemira hadn’t come unprepared.

It took her little effort to discover what the president of the journalism club had been up to—gathering evidence was child’s play for her. In fact, this had always been an open secret within the club. The other students knew about it, but as students themselves, they didn’t dare challenge the journalism club. No one wanted to become the next victim of their rumors, so they obediently paid up to stay out of trouble. As for the wealthy students, the club made sure never to cross them.

After Lemira finished speaking, the journalism club president’s face turned ashen, panic written all over him.

Lemira’s tone was icy. “I already explained everything to you earlier, but if you insist on spreading lies, don’t blame me for what happens next.”

The student council president hurried to smooth things over. “Your club reported something untrue, so you definitely owe Lemira an apology.”

Only then did the club president realize how serious things had become. “Lemira, it was my mistake. I’ll delete the post right away and issue an explanation.”

“That’s better. And in the future, don’t make up stories to slander others. Otherwise, you’re just asking for trouble.”

Words can be as sharp as blades, wounding without leaving a mark.

He was so ashamed he didn’t dare speak. If Lemira exposed him, he’d be finished—he certainly didn’t want to get expelled.

One of the female students, not willing to let it go, protested, “Why are you so afraid of her?”

“If you hadn’t given me those photos, and claimed you saw Lemira all over some older guy in a fancy car, I never would’ve written any of it!”

Lemira turned to the girl. “You realize that secretly taking photos and spreading false rumors are both illegal, don’t you?”

The girl snapped back, “So what if I can’t stand you? You act all high and mighty, but you’re just someone who slept her way to the top. Up there sharing your ‘success story’—why not tell everyone about your experience with older men instead?”

As soon as she finished, the students nearby began whispering to each other.

At that moment, Orion strode over, accompanied by several others.

The girl was stunned. “You... you’re not just saying that to protect her, are you?”

The principal snapped, “Stop making baseless accusations! Lemira has been recognized as a top technical talent at Lyria. Who are you to question her?”

The principal hadn’t realized just how outstanding Lemira truly was. Having someone like her as a role model would be a tremendous asset for Orvin University.

Orion glanced at the principal. “I trust you’ll handle this properly.”

“Of course, Mr. Everhart. I will take care of it.”

Orion nodded and left with his group.

The principal paused, then turned to the student council president. “I want you to identify everyone involved in spreading these rumors. They will face serious consequences. We need to restore proper conduct and discipline on this campus—this kind of behavior is absolutely unacceptable!”
