When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 431

Lemira glared at Caspian across the room, their eyes locking like sworn enemies.

Caspian sneered, "You might have forgotten, but it's etched in my memory forever."

"Because I've done nothing wrong, my conscience is clear!" Lemira was adamant. She had always been compliant with Caspian, never once defying her brother. How could she possibly have betrayed him?

Evelina, overhearing the conversation, panicked. She couldn't let Caspian spill the beans. What would she do then?

Rushing over, Evelina grabbed Caspian's arm. "Caspian, this isn't the time to hash this out. We need to figure out how to smooth this over. It's all over social media."

Caspian couldn't afford a scandal, not until Evelina had successfully infiltrated the entertainment world.

"You're right," Caspian conceded. The immediate issue was to manage the crisis.

He immediately called his agent. "Hire the best PR firm around, ASAP. We need to handle this now."

The agent was frantic. "I've already got the Everhart family's top PR firm on it. They'll be here any minute. I'm sure they'll sort this out quickly."

"We'll just say Lemira and I were rehearsing a scene. The live stream was just an early surprise we planned for the fans," Caspian explained, his gaze then turning icy as he looked at Lemira. "You think your little trick will work? Dream on."

Evelina was elated. "Exactly, just say it was a rehearsal. After all, Lemira being a newbie and you, Caspian, giving her private lessons is totally plausible."

That would cover their tracks.

After hanging up, Caspian menacingly turned to Lemira. "Now that we're off-air, how do you suppose I repay you for this 'gift'?"

Evelina suggested, "Maybe just a small lesson, Caspian. But don't go too far; we don't want to have to explain serious injuries to the media."

Worried Caspian might lose his temper and go overboard, Evelina knew if Lemira got seriously hurt, explaining it as just a rehearsal gone wrong to the media would be impossible.

Caspian shoved Evelina aside, his anger palpable. "Since when do you give orders?"

Evelina crashed to the floor, wincing in pain. Caspian was unpredictable, a loose cannon.
