Chapter 261ย  Lucian fixed his gaze on the supervisor, โ€œIโ€™m Lemiraโ€™s brother, Lucian, her family!โ€ย  โ€œWhat, youโ€™re her brother? But Lemira claimed she was an orphan with no living parents,โ€ the supervisor was clearly taken aback by this sudden revelation.ย  Lucian turned towards Lemira, a hint of helplessness in his tone, โ€œLemmy, do you really despise being linked to the Langstons thatย  much?โ€ย  Lemira spoke directly to the supervisor, โ€œItโ€™s true, my parents are no longer alive, and I have no other farmilyโ€ย  She was adamant about not acknowledging her connection to the Langston family!ย  โ€œI understand youโ€™re upset with us, but this isnโ€™t the time to throw a tantrum.โ€ย  ucian felt a bit headache, not expecting Lemiraโ€™s firm stance.ย  He faced the supervisor, โ€œThis is my business card, and ID card. Lemira is indeed my sister. Sheโ€™s been at odds with the family, which is why sheโ€™s denying our relationship. But she does have family!โ€ย  As the supervisor inspected Lucianโ€™s credentials, which confirmed their shared last name and address, his expression shifted uncomfortably, realizing Lemira indeed came from a wellโ€“off family background.ย  Lemiraโ€™s brother was a CEO. The rumors about her being kept must be false, then.ย  The teacher chimed in, โ€œSeems like Ms. Langston is just rebelling by running away from home,โ€ย  The supervisorโ€™s expression was an interesting sight to see. He realized his earlier comments had backfired.ย  He quickly stated, โ€œWe were unaware of Lemiraโ€™s family situation and may have misunderstood her actions. Still, locking her classmatesโ€˜ phones with that mini program added was her fault.โ€ย  โ€œBut those students were spreading false rumors about my sister. If they have a problem with that, theyโ€™re welcome to discuss it with my lawyer. I wonโ€™t hesitate to take legal action against each of them!โ€ย  Lucianโ€™s stance was unwavering. No one messed with his sister!ย  The supervisor, now at a loss, turned to the principal, โ€œHow should we proceed with this?โ€ย  Now that it was clear Lemira wasnโ€™t a struggling orphan but a wealthy heiress, the situation was tricky.ย  The principal then addressed Lucian, โ€œBut Lemira has also clashed with students from the Business School. As a businessman yourself, Mr. Langston, you must understand the implications if their parents learn of this.โ€ย  No one wanted to cross the Business School studentsโ€˜ influential families.ย  Lucian snorted, โ€œThey started the rumors first. The Langstons wonโ€™t back down.โ€ย  โ€œWho told you to meddle in this? This is my business!โ€ Lemira gazed at Lucian, โ€œJust go. I donโ€™t need you to handle my business!โ€ย  โ€œLemmy, you can be mad at me all you want after this is settled.โ€ย  โ€œIโ€™ve cut ties with you Langstons. You have no right to intervene!โ€ย  Lemira resented any charity from the Langstons, refusing to be associated with them in any way.ย  Lucian offered a weary smile before turning back to the principal, his demeanor dominant, โ€œWe will pursue this matter to the end.โ€ Lemira only felt irritated. Looking at the supervisor, she said, โ€œWerenโ€™t you asking for an explanation about my relationship with that man and my financial situation? I have proof.โ€ย  She was a popular streamer and a key member of the Maple Group research team, financially independent.ย  The supervisor coughed, โ€œSince your brotherโ€™s here, we donโ€™t need any more proof.โ€ย  โ€œHeโ€™s not my brother! I can prove my situation myself!โ€ย  Despite her protests, the supervisor dismissed her claims as mere tantrums from a wealthy Ms. Langston. How utterly frustrating!ย  At that moment, the principal received a phone call, answering with utmost respect, โ€œYes, understood. I know how to handle thisย  situation now.โ€ย  This was her wesen for being in the office Pure unstย  by hair comย  fre walked over to the compute, her fingers diaย  code and then began to dissect her mini programย  the keyboard as the operate foranyย  After her explanation, the teacher let out a wry trule, โ€œSo that was t Your clever trick in something most wouldnf fine of Le your family ever get you extra tutoring?โ€ย  The principal turned to Lucian, โ€œMr. Langston, how did you raise this child? Our school has many top students, but weโ€™ve only co across someone as gifted as Lemira until now.โ€ย  Lucianโ€™s face was a mix of emotions. He smiled bitterly, I believe she taught herself alt of thisโ€ย  The family had never provided any special training for Lemira. If anything, they held her back!ย  Lemira stood up from the laptop. To her, this was all not difficult, for she had learned much of it in her past life.ย  The teacher was pleased, โ€œLemira, for someone as gifted as you, the school offers specialized training programs. Would you be interested?โ€ย  โ€œSheโ€™s not going!โ€ Lucian quickly refused on her behalf, and then told Lemira, gazing at her, โ€œThis special course should be at the Business School, meant for the elite.โ€ย  But Lemira had conflicts with the Sinclair family. If she attended classes at the Business School, she might be bullied! โ€œOf course, itโ€™s up to Lemira herself.โ€ย  Lemira caimly declined, โ€œindeed, I donโ€™t feeling like going.โ€ย  The principal tried to persuade her, โ€œIf youโ€™re worried about your previous issues with the Business School, I can help sort them out.โ€ โ€œReally, itโ€™s fine. I appreciate your kindness. Even without soโ€“called elite education, I can still outshine them!โ€ Lemiraโ€™s tone was serene yet boid.ย  She had hoped to enjoy a lowโ€“key college life. But circumstances demanded otherwise!ย  After finishing her piece, she left the principalโ€™s office, certain that the issue was solved.ย  Lucian followed her, โ€œSis, can we talk?โ€ย  โ€œDonโ€™t call me that. Iโ€™m not your sister!โ€ย  Lemiraโ€™s eyes dripped with impatience. She hurried down the stairs, only to run into Evelina at the landing.ย  Evelina wore a smug look, โ€œLemira, did the principal discipline you? Told you to apologize early, but you wouldnโ€™t listen!โ€ย  โ€œLemmy didnโ€™t do anything wrong. Why should she apologize?โ€ Lucian defended, coming down after her.ย  Evelinaโ€™s face turned pale with shock. What was Lucian doing here?ย
