Chapter 245ย  After Susanna dropped that bomb, the barโ€™s private room went dead silent. Many eyes turned to Lemira, some filled with anticipationย  for the drama to unfold.ย  โ€œI heard Lemira managed to tick off some folks from the Business School right on the first day.โ€ย  โ€œYeah, I was there. Lemira was all high and mighty.โ€ย  โ€œPeople really should know their place, saves them from biting off more than they can chew.โ€ย  Susanna, smug as ever, stared Lemira down. She was out for blood, wanting to make Lemira squirm.ย  She aimed to show this country bumpkin the price for crossing her! Making Lemira an outcast at the university, until she was begging Susanna for forgiveness on her knees!ย  Jackson intervened, โ€œMs. Sinclair, perhaps thereโ€™s been a misunderstanding with Lemira. Weโ€™re all going to be part of the same clubย  Evelina chimed in hastily, โ€œExactly, Lemira, why donโ€™t you just apologize to Ms. Sinclair with a toast?โ€ย  โ€œHmph, unless she gets on her knees and beg for it, I will never forgive her!โ€ย  Susanna grabbed a glass from the table and flung its contents towards Lemira, โ€œConsider this a lesson! Letting you know the difference between us, you bumpkin!โ€ย  Lemira was drenched but remained unfazed, calmly wiping her face.ย  โ€œLemira, listen to the captain, just apologize.โ€ย  Evelina was pleased to see the scene, thinking Lemira got what she deserved.ย  Jackson handed Lemira a glass, โ€œCome on, make a toast, be nice about it.โ€ย  Lemira glanced at it and took the glass.ย  The smile on Jacksonโ€™s face deepened, โ€œThatโ€™s right. Apologize to Ms. Sinclair!โ€ย  โ€œWho said Iโ€™d apologize?โ€ย  With the glass in hand, she poured the drink right over Susannaโ€™s head.ย  People in the room witnessed the scene, everyone holding their breath, daring not make any sound. They knew full well Susanna was not one to mess with, never expecting Lemira would fight back.ย  Realizing what had happened, Susanna screamed, โ€œYou hillbilly bitch, youโ€™re dead meat!โ€ย  Evelina, snapping back to reality, hurriedly passed tissues to Susanna. She was taken aback, astounded by Lemiraโ€™s boldness,ย  Lemira clapped her hands, dismissively saying, โ€œYou started it. Just returning the favor.โ€ย  Not wanting to stay a moment longer, Lemira made her way out, stopping by the restroom first, regretting she ever came. Jinx!ย  As she exited from a stall, Evelina was waiting, all high and mighty, โ€œLemira, youโ€™ve crossed Ms. Sinclair. Youโ€™re done for. Not even Asher could save you now.โ€ย  โ€œYou must be over the moon, right? Setting Susanna on me, a real backstabber!โ€ย  โ€œI donโ€™t know what youโ€™re talking about, I only know that youโ€™re in deep trouble. The Sinclairs wonโ€™t let this go.โ€ย  โ€œWell, Iโ€™ll be waiting.โ€ย  As Lemira turned to leave, Evelina suddenly raised her hand and sprayed something at Lemira. It smelled sweet but odd. Lemira covered her nose and mouth, stepping back cautiously.ย  That was when Susanna stormed in, flanked by a few bodyguards, โ€œLemira, you dare splash me with a drink. Iโ€™ll send you ten hooligans, and make sure everyone sees you for the tramp you are. Letโ€™s see how you hold your head up at Orvin University after this!โ€ย  Feeling her face burn and her strength wane, Lemira realized Susannaโ€™s ruthlessness. She was careless this time.ย  Lemira looked down and spotted a mop bucket nearby; she grabbed it and hurled it towards Susanna, who screamed and stumbled back as her bodyguards rushed in.ย  Seizing the chance, Lemira dashed out.ย  โ€œSheโ€™s running away!โ€ Evelina was the first to react, grabbing Lemira by the wrist.ย
