When They Beg, I Rise!

Chapter 448

Lemira nodded, a mocking smile playing on her lips. "Right, as if saying anything now would make a difference. I regret my actions back then; I should have just left you to your fate." Her sarcasm lit a fire in Caspian's eyes.

"Lemira, you're saying this because you can't explain yourself, right?"

Evelina chimed in with a smirk, "Lemmy, Caspian couldn't even handle those thugs. How did a delicate flower like you manage to escape? That doesn't add up."

"True, I ended up getting caught, and they even threatened me to make a call to someone, asking for a personal ransom."

Lemira locked eyes with Caspian, "I didn't call you. I called someone from the Langstons."

Caspian, pressing his lips together, asked, "Who? Lucian?"

Hearing Lucian's name, Evelina snickered, "But Lucian always had a soft spot for Lemmy."

If it was Lucian, she believed she could deny everything.

Lemira's smile was tinged with irony as she stared at Evelina, "Sorry to disappoint you, but I called Asher."
