When They Beg, I Rise!

Lemira glanced at Caspian standing in front of her and snapped, "Get lost!"

But Caspian didn't budge. "I was wondering why you suddenly got so bold. Turns out you've got a man backing you up. Lemira, have you no shame?"

Lemira retorted coldly, "What shame? Captain Matthew and I are friends."

"Lemmy, the way Matthew was defending you earlier, anyone with eyes could see he's into you. But what if Mr. Draven finds out about you and Matthew? Would he be upset?" She hoped to see panic on Lemira's face, but Lemira remained expressionless.

Caspian, however, was shocked. "Eve, what do you mean by that? What's her relationship with Mr. Draven?"

He had just returned and was unaware of the many developments he had missed.

"Caspian, I got this from Asher. He said Lemmy has a deep connection with Mr. Draven, who even transferred the shares of a tech startup to her."

Hearing this, Caspian understood everything.noveldrama

Was this a sugaring arrangement?

Caspian glared at Lemira. "I underestimated you. No wonder you've become so audacious, climbing up the ranks through Mr. Draven."

Caspian was furious, unable to accept that his sister could do such a thing.

Lemira's gaze turned icy, "For the last time, Thaddeus is a friend."

She didn't want to waste her words and tried to leave.

"Lemira, I haven't finished speaking. Who said you could go? If our parents knew about it, they'd be turning in their graves!" Lemira's eyes turned colder, and she grabbed Caspian by the collar: "You're not worthy to mention our parents."

"And you think you are?"

She punched him, and Caspian fell to the ground, unable to get up.

He was shocked. If he thought it was an accident before, now it was clear Lemira was skilled, certainly more than him.

Looking at this unfamiliar version of his sister, Caspian was deeply unsettled.

Lemira then turned to Evelina, who stepped back in fear, "What, what do you want?"

Lemira advanced, slowly tightening her grip on Evelina's neck.

She whispered menacingly, "Did you think you'd be safe just because Alaric took the fall for you?"

"Let me go. It's not like I forced Alaric to do it."

It was Alaric's own decision.

Lemira watched Evelina's desperate struggle: Your triumph won't last. I'll make you lose everything, wishing for death as I was locked away and tortured in a mental institution in my past life."

"I believe you, let me go."

Evelina was genuinely frightened.

When had Lemira become so formidable?

She didn't want to die.

Finally, Lemira let go, and Evelina collapsed, gasping for air like a dying fish.

Caspian managed to stand, "Lemira, how could you attack Eve? Her father saved your life!"

"That's why I spared her life."

Caspian tried to intervene but realized he was no match for Lemira alone.

Watching Lemira walk away, he felt uncomfortable facing this newfound strength in his sister. He missed the old days when she used to dote on him.

Outside, Lemira acted as if nothing had happened.

The party soon ended.

Lemira found Janice: "How did the autograph collection go?"

"Smoothly mentioned I'm from the Orvin University Team, and many being fans, eagerly agreed

"It's getting late; let's head back."

Lemira and Janice left after she briefly spoke to Matthew and Michel.
