Chapter 426

Lemira's lips curled into a chilly smirk. "You're mistaken. The one who fancies that bistro is Evelina, not me." Caspian's face twisted awkwardly. "Must've slipped my mind then, been swamped at work lately."

"If you can't keep it straight, then drop the 'big brother' act, will you? There are no cameras here."

Caspian's expression soured considerably.

Evelina quickly stepped in to smooth things over. "Caspian, Lemmy's just blunt, don't take it so personally."

Seizing the moment, Caspian made his exit from the team's headquarters.

Janice huffed in frustration. "Pretending to be someone they're not. I wish we could just expose him for who he truly is."

"But he's a celebrity. Without undeniable proof, nobody's going to take your word for it."

Especially since Caspian had always played up his 'good guy' persona, her word alone couldn't stand against his army of fans.

Lemira surveyed the group. "Let's start training then. I want to spar with each of you to see our progress."

They trained together until the dorm's curfew, only stopping then.
