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.

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.
