When They Beg, I Rise!

Chapter 434

Lemira's expression froze for a moment as she stared blankly at him.

Her gaze fluttered slightly before she looked down and whispered, "I'm fine, aren't I?"

"What if you weren't? Didn't I tell you to call me for anything? I can take care of anything for you!" Orion's voice grew louder with frustration.

The memory of hearing Lemira's desperate cries for help during a livestream haunted him. In that moment, he had felt a murderous rage.

And yet, it turned out she was just playing a dangerous game.

Lemira glanced down at the scrape on her knee, murmuring, "Even as friends, I can't bother you with everything."

The last sponsorship for the team had also come from Maple Group.

She couldn't always depend on Orion. She had to handle her dealings with the Langston family on her own, not wanting to drag her friends into her mess. Especially given Caspian's temperament, provoking him would only lead to relentless backlash.

Orion's car halted at a red light, and he turned his head, his gaze dark and deep.

"Do you really see us just as friends?" he asked, breaking the silence.

Lemira's grip tightened on her pants as she struggled to find her voice, "What else would we be?"

Orion rested his hand on the steering wheel, his look intense, "If you can't protect yourself, then I'll do it. Stay by my side, and nobody will dare to mess with you." Lemira's heartbeat raced.
