When They Beg, I Rise!

Chapter 416

After a few days of peace, Lemira made her way to the team's headquarters, only to discover a film crew had taken over the place. There, under a sunshade, sat Caspian, shades on, exuding his usual arrogance. Just the sight of him soured Lemira's mood instantly. She could almost hear Caspian's smug voice in her head, plotting ways to corner her into submission.

The nerve of that guy, she thought, always lingering like a bad smell.

As soon as Caspian spotted Lemira, he sprang up. "Ah, my dear sister, you've finally graced us with your presence. Fancy a role in the movie? I can make that happen." "I'd rather not. Since when do you have the authority to shoot a movie here, anyway?"

"The school gave its blessing. I've been planning this youth drama about life at Orvin University Team. Think of it as a sweet, coming-of-age story."

Caspian's grin was as infuriating as ever, acting as if their recent quarrel had never happened.

So, this was why it had been so quiet these past few days - he was lying in wait.

"Lemmy, why don't you make a cameo? It'd be a family affair."

Evelina stood nearby, dolled up in a preppy plaid skirt and ponytail, looking every bit the innocent girl.

Lemira's face was a mask of disdain. "Who said we're family?"

Evelina stepped forward, grabbing Lemira's hand. "Lemmy, I know you're still mad at me."
