NovelEnglishChapter 503
Lemira was curious but chose not to press for more information. After all, she barely knew Ms. Sinclair.
Sophia, however, couldn't help but notice the blush on Lemira's cheeks and the rosy gloss on her lips.
Suppressing her own bitterness, she asked, "Ms. Langston, did you cto the gym alone?"
"No," Lemira replied, heading straight to the locker room without elaborating.
Sophia watched her retreating figure, feeling a pang of jealousy. She made her way to the boxing area, where
she finally spotted Orion.
Unable to hold back, Sophia approached him. "Orie, why have you been avoidingthese past few days?"
Orion's expression turned noticeably colder upon seeing her. "Why would | be avoiding you?"
"Then why haven't you answered any of my calls?"
"If it's work-related, just contact the company's person in charge. | don't see any reason for us to be talking on
the phone," Orion replied, his tone icy and clear.
Sophia's eyes welled up with tears. "Is it because of that girl that you're drawing a line between us?"
"You need to understand that there was never anything between us. This time, | had my brother clear things up,
but if your family, the Sinclairs, keeps insisting otherwise, I'll have to clear things up myself next time."
Orion's demeanor was detached. "Out of respect for our family ties, I'm giving you the choice to handle this
yourself or havedo it."
Sophia's face paled. She couldn't believe Orion was being so final, but she knew he wasn't joking. He would
actually go through with it.

Orion's patience was wearing thin. "You should leave now, before my girlfriend sees you and gets the wrong
idea."
"Do you know she was involved with an older man back in high school?" Sophia blurted, recalling something
Susanna had told her.
Orion's expression darkened as he fixed his gaze on her. "I don't want to hear such divisive tactics again."
"Don't you care?"
"That man was me, but we were just friends back then. Stop spreading false rumors about her."
Sophia was stunned-Orion had been the school nurse? Her mind reeled. Had he known Lemira all along?
Orion's voice grew icier. "Warn your sister-if she keeps targeting Lemira without cause, the Sinclair family will
regret it."
Terrified, Sophia took a step back and then hurried away.
Orion narrowed his eyes. Had the Sinclairs bectoo brazen over the years? He had expected them to
recognize the need for Matthew to publicly refute the engagement rumors. en
Soon after Lemira emerged in her workout gear and approached him, her face warm with a blush. "Oh, |
forgot to tell you, the press
conference didn't go well last time."
"Because | wasn't there, but we can reschedule. This time, nothing will go wrong,"
Orion assured her, his gaze earnest. "I promise."
He regretted being away on business. He hadn't anticipated that Asher was
actually a son-in-law to the Waverlies.
Lemira smiled softly. "No need."
"What are your plans now?" Orion asked.
"I'm thinking of going back to my family," Lemira replied, noticing Orion's subtle reaction.
"Why?"
"You probably know that Asher used
my parents’ heirlooms to threaten
me. Without a written conteaéy frbhn
the proberty Hhision back then, |
can't retrieve those items yet, and |
don't want them falling into Evelina's
hands." The content is on
