When They Beg, I Rise!

Lemira was pushing the boundaries again.

Evelina sighed, "Caspian, it's really my fault. Lemmy just hates me."

"It's not your fault."

"But Lemmy is about to sign a disownment agreement with the family. Lucian and Alaric are getting soft, especially Lucian. He blames me for being with the Langstons, thinking that's why Lemmy stormed off in a huff." Evelina's voice was tinged with hurt.

Caspian softened at her words, "Don't blame yourself or Lucian. He's always spoiled Lemira rotten, but don't worry. As long as I'm here, I won't let anyone mistreat you." "Caspian, I'll follow your lead."

Evelina nodded obediently, "Caspian, I want to make something of myself, try my hand in showbiz. I'm an adult now, shouldn't keep relying on the Langston family. I want to earn my own keep."

"Alright, I'll set everything up for you, make sure you shine as a top star."

"Really, Caspian? My friend Susanna adores your work. Could I get your autograph and a photo with you?"

"Of course, I'd be glad to do that for you."

"Then let's head over. But about Lemmy, you think you'll keep trying to talk to her?"

Caspian's expression cooled, "No need."

Whenever Lemira messed up, a little cold shoulder and she'd come around realizing her mistakes.noveldrama

This time, he intended to give Lemira a good long freeze to teach her a lesson.

Lemira grabbed something to eat in the food court.

Michel approached, "You alright? Your brothers are all the same, you're their sister."

Michel was fuming on the sidelines.

Lemira smirked, "They've always been like this."

"No wonder you wanted to cut ties with the Langstons. If I were you, I'd have gone nuclear on them."

It was infuriating.

They didn't treat Lemira like a sister, barely even as a person.

Lemira smiled, changing the subject, "Our team's sponsors have pulled out. I need to find new ones. Know anyone?" "That's a piece of cake, follow me."

Lemira followed Michel to a gathering of suit-wearing, professional-looking individuals.

Michel introduced her, "This is Lemira, captain of the Orvin University Team. You're familiar with her, right?"

After greetings, Lemira briefly explained the team's situation and mentioned their need for a new base sponsor.

One executive said, "We're all looking

forward to what Orvin University Team can achieve next year. Sponsoring shouldn't be an issue. We'll talk."

"Our company's interested too. Here's my card, let's connect later." Lemira breathed a sigh of relief; the sponsorship seemed secured.

"If you're thinking of sponsoring Orvin University Team, think it through. She turned down our Sinclair's sponsorship, so good luck with yours."

Susanna, in a designer dress, strutted over with Evelina and Caspian in tow.

Evelina watched silently, unwilling to let Lemira have her way.

Lemira's face turned cold, "Susanna, want me to expose the Sinclairs' dirty laundry for all to see?"

Lemira didn't hold back mentioning the Sinclair family's money laundering.

Since Susanna came looking for trouble, Lemira wasn't going to play nice.

Caspian frowned, scolding Lemira, "Watch your mouth. Think you can afford to offend the Sinclair family? Apologize to Ms. Sinclair, now."

Lemira smirked coldly, "And you are?"

Caspian raised his voice, "Lemira, don't make me teach you a lesson! Apologize, now!"
