When They Beg, I Rise!

Lemira saw the flock of bodyguards crowding around, and she knew Caspian had come prepared this time.

She took a few steps back. "This is illegal, you know."

"You're my sister. Even if you call the cops, it's just a family matter."

Caspian advanced step by step. "So, are you coming with me willingly, or do I have to get physical? Your choice."

Lemira couldn't help but find the situation ironic. "Do I even have a choice?"

It was clear she had none; she had to go with him.

Caspian was just the same as he had always been.

He approached her, snatched her phone, and glanced at the contacts. "This must be that school doctor from before, right? Too bad he can't save you this time."

Lemira eyed the bodyguards surrounding her. She couldn't take them all on.

She knew Caspian well enough; if she tried anything, she'd be the one getting hurt.

Lemira didn't plan on a direct confrontation, eventually allowing Caspian to pull her into the car.

Caspian sat beside her, his tone noticeably softer. "You've got Lucian sick with worry, and Asher's business is a mess because of you. But at the end of the day, you're our sister. Just apologize, and we'll let bygones be bygones." Lemira remained silent, her expression cold.

Caspian fixed his gaze on her. "I'm talking to you. You've always been obedient and sensible. Everyone around me praises how good of a sister I have. Don't do anything to disappoint me."
