Chapter 411
Lemira stared into those handsome features before her, disbelief coloring her expression. She knew all too well how much Caspian reveled in playing roles–whether on the job or in real life.
Caspian, with a smile playing on his lips, whispered, “Heard your team’s looking for sponsors. I’m here to help. Just play along, will you?”
But Lemira was far from willing to comply.
Yet, as Caspian firmly grabbed her shoulder, feigning Intimacy as they walked in together, she realized he had orchestrated everything, including the media ready to snap their photos.
Under different circumstances, she wouldn’t have played along.
But this was the team’s home base. Causing a scene here would only bring negative attention to the team.
After all, Caspian was a celebrity, having adopted a stage name early in his career without ever revealing his family’s identity.
What was he up to now?
Lemira couldn’t quite figure it out.
To the cameras, Caspian said, “Everyone’s curious about the bruise on my face, right? My sister gave it to me. We’ve been sparring recently, and she’s improved a lot. I, her big brother, can’t even beat her now.”
Outside, Caspian was the epitome of a caring older brother.
Sure enough, fans started commenting on how lucky she was to have such a wonderful brother.
Lemira’s face fell.
Suddenly, a voice directed at Lemira said, “Your brother’s going out of his way to boost your popularity and secure sponsorships, and you’re here sulking?”
Lemira looked up to see Susanna and Evelina standing among the fans.
The young Sinclair girl was a fan of Caspian?
Evelina added, “Come on, Lemmy, crack a smile. Anyone would think you’re unhappy with Caspian.”
Lemira clenched her fists, irritated.
Caspian leaned in, his voice low, “Just go along with it, okay? It’s for your own good.”
But she never asked for any of this!
It’s always the same with them, compensating based on what they thought was best.
“Why should Lemira cooperate with a family that treats her poorly? She’s already cut ties with them, as everyone knows,” a girl in a baseball cap stepped forward.
It was Jessica, her former class president, causing Lemira’s eyes to unexpectedly well up with tears.
Evelina was surprised to encounter an old classmate.
Caspian’s gaze hardened, though his expression remained unchanged, “I only learned about my sister’s falling out with our family recently. Regardless, she’ll always be my sister, irreplaceable to me.”
Pointing at Evelina, Jessica said, “And what about her? You treated your adopted sister better than Lemira.”
Evelina’s cheeks flushed with anger at the mention of her adoption, a topic she loathed.
Evelina retorted, her eyes reddening, “We were all in the same class. You’ve always been close to Lemira, but that doesn’t give you the right to make baseless accusations. Our brothers treated us equally and fairly.”

“The so–called fairness that meant when both of you were sick, Lemira had to run errands. Despite Lernira
being the top student, she had to give up an opportunity at Orvin University to attend a lesser college with you I doubt anyone would want that kind of fairness,” Jessica knew exactly what had happened during those three years in high school.
The crowd erupted into murmurs.
Even the reporters were shocked, unaware of such details.
Caspian’s face darkened as he whispered to Lemira, “Your friend is quite loyal, but she shouldn’t have said all this in public. Should I teach her a lesson?”
“You better not hurt her,” Lemira warned, aware of Caspian’s methods.
Caspian’s smile broadened, “Then you better explain yourself, or your friend here is going to face some trouble” Lemira gritted her teeth, her gaze shifting towards Jessica across the way.
