Chapter 448
Lemira nodded, a mocking smile playing on her lips. โRight, as if saying anything now would make a difference. I regret my actions back then; I should have just left you to your fate.โ Her sarcasm lit a fire in Caspianโs eyes.
โLemira, youโre saying this because you canโt explain yourself, right?โ
Evelina chimed in with a smirk, โLemmy, Caspian couldnโt even handle those thugs. How did a delicate flower like you manage to escape? That doesnโt add up.โ
โTrue, I ended up getting caught, and they even threatened me to make a call to someone, asking for a personal ransom.โ
Lemira locked eyes with Caspian. โI didnโt call you. I called someone from the Langstons.โ
Caspian, pressing his lips together, asked, โWho? Lucian?โ
Hearing Lucianโs name, Evelina snickered, โBut Lucian always had a soft spot for Lemmy.โ
If it was Lucian, she believed she could deny everything.
Lemiraโs smile was tinged with irony as she stared at Evelina. โSorry to disappoint you, but I called Asher.โ
The color drained from Evelinaโs face. A call to Asher? What now?
Right then, Asherโs car pulled up beside them, and he stepped out. โLemira, have you finally come to regret not calling me?โ
Turning to face Asher, Lemira said, โThereโs something Iโve been wanting to ask you. After all, I canโt keep carrying the blame for all these years.โ
โWhat is it?โ
โYou remember the incident with Caspian fighting those thugs, almost dying in that alley, right?โ
Asher nodded. โI remember. It was you who diverted the thugs, giving Caspian a chance to escape. But then, you were caught. They forced you to make a call, and just as I returned from my trip, I called you. I came to your rescue.โ
Silence fell over the group. Evelina, trembling with fear, took several steps back, thinking of escaping.
Lemira turned back to Caspian. โDid you hear that? You didnโt believe me, nor did you believe Lucian. Will you believe him?โ
Caspianโs ears rang with disbelief. This couldnโt be true. He stared at Evelina, hiding in the corner, and roared, โGet over here and explain what the hell happened!โ
Evelina, terrified, tried to run but was caught by the bodyguards. She sobbed, โCaspian, I didnโt know Lemmy had lured those thugs away.โ
โThen why did you lie just now?โ
Caspian grabbed Evelinaโs hair with such force, his eyes bloodshot with anger. Why did she deceive him?
Chapter 44
He had been kept in the dark for so long!
Evelina screamed in pain, โCaspian, I was just speaking the truth, and my earlier words were merely a guess. Lemira didnโt tell you either, right? Why is she speaking up only now?โ
Caspian looked up at Lemira. โWhy didnโt you tell me back then? Why didnโt you let me know?โ
Lemira glanced at Asher with a smirk. โBecause Asher said he would tell you.โ
Asher looked slightly uneasy. โI mustโve forgotten to mention it. I thought, well, you were siblings after all, and Eve did save Caspian. So, I thought, whatโs done is done.โ
โAsher, do you realize how much youโve hurt me?โ Caspianโs voice broke slightly.
It was this misunderstanding that made him resent Lemira all these years, allowing Evelina to torment her. And it was all just a misunderstanding! The liar was Evelina. He had been deceived for so long.
Caspian turned to Lemira, his lips quivering. โI didnโt know it was you who saved me.โ
Could she ever forgive him just this once?
