When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 423

Lemira shrugged off Caspian's grip without a second thought, completely disregarding his feelings.

Her voice was ice cold, "But you've let me down too many times."

Caspian, mindful of the surrounding fans, didn't dare retaliate.

But his voice grew colder, "Lemira, when have I ever let you down? Remember when you were bullied as a kid? Wasn't I always the one standing up for you?"

"Standing up for me? More like those troublemakers came after me because of you, all the dangers you brought my way."

Lemira's eyes sparkled with mockery, "Spare me the 'protective big brother' act, you're not fit for the role."

With those words, Lemira turned and headed towards the team's headquarters.

Caspian was livid. Not fit?

Back when he was nearly beaten to a pulp, didn't Lemira just run off?

Evelina, noticing Lemira's departure, feigned concern to the fans, "Please, don't get the wrong idea. Lemmy's just been really busy lately, and she's been dealing with some family issues, so she's a bit on edge."

Some fans expressed their dissatisfaction, "But Lemira shouldn't be acting all high and mighty, making the team wait on her."

"Yeah, I even saw her snapping at our dear Casp."

Evelina sighed theatrically, "Lemmy's always been like that, quite the temper. Back home, everyone always tiptoes around her."

At that moment, Caspian joined them, "Sorry about that, my sister can be stubborn, not as sweet as Eve here. But she's really talented, so for my sake, please don't hold it against her."

The fans were star-struck as Caspian approached, bursting into excited screams.

After greeting them with a smile, Caspian led Evelina back under the sunshade. Once they were out of the fans' view, his smile faded instantly, "Why did you spout nonsense?"

"Caspian, I was just trying to smooth things over. Lemira's behavior could've reflected badly on you."

If it weren't for that time Caspian got hurt and she maliciously insinuated that Lemira had fled, Caspian probably wouldn't have given her the time of day.

All she needed was to become a famous actress, gain wealth and fame, and then she'd see who would dare look down on her.

And as for that mama's boy Dorian, he'd have to publicly acknowledge their relationship sooner or later.

It was all because of that bidding incident. Thaddeus must have said something to Dorian's mother, forcing Dorian to break up with her.

Dorian was too weak to stand up for himself, so now they had to pretend to break up and keep their relationship a secret.

Upon entering the base, Lemira saw the camera setup. This was obviously the location for the next scene.

Janice approached her, concern etched on her face, "You alright? You look pale."
