Chapter 397
Lemira caught the familiar tone in Caspian’s voice and almost found it laughable.
How could they still be so confident in controlling her life now?
Lemira lifted an eyebrow, “And you are p>
“It’s me, Caspian. Have you forgotten how I used to teach you already p>
Seeing Lemira’s defiant demeanor, Caspian couldn’t suppress the anger boiling inside him. “No wonder everything’s been a mess at home lately, Lemira, look at the trouble you’ve caused p>
The firewall at Asher Technologies had issues, Lucian’s company lost a bidding war and half of its worth, and Alaric was even detained for investigation.
All these troubles were linked to Lemira.
Lemira chuckled lightly, “None of this is my concern p>
“You dare say it’s not your concern. Did you or did you not mess with Asher Technologies’ firewall p>
“Asher’s system crashed because of a hacker attack, and he begged me to fix it for him p>
Caspian’s face stiffened. Was that the case? Evelina had told him something different.
Right after he landed and came to the party, he was looking to settle the score with Lemira.
Evelina quickly explained, “Caspian, what I meant was Lemira initially hacked Asher’s system to pressure him. Now, she’s so skilled that Asher himself asked for her help p>
After hearing the explanation, Caspian looked at Lemira again, realizing he had never seen how capable she was before.
But the sight of Lemira’s indifferent face irritated him all over again. “Asher worked his fingers to the bone to build his company. As a member of the Langston family, you should’ve offered your help willingly, not have him begging you.” Evelina quickly added, “I heard she even charged Asher $200,000 for her services p>
Caspian grew even angrier, “Lemira, you’re so heartless, charging Asher such an exorbitant fee?” Lemira casually cleaned her ears, “What else? I’m not a charity worker here to offer free services.” “Lemira, it’s only been a few months since we last met, how could you change so drastically?” Fuming, Caspian grabbed Lemira’s wrist, “Come with me to the hospital to see Lucian and apologize.” Lemira effortlessly pushed Caspian away.
Caspian nearly stumbled, incredulous at Lemira’s newfound strength.
Lemira wiped her hand in disgust, “Don’t touch me p>
“Caspian, Lucian is so ill in the hospital, nearly dying because of you, and you won’t even visit p>
“It’s not my fault he chose to harm himself, don’t try to guilt-trip me p>
Deep down, Lemira knew Lucian’s self-harm was a desperate attempt to make her yield.
For a moment, she almost believed it was her fault, almost softened.
Thankfully, Orion was by her side, helping her to see clearly. Lucian always knew how to manipulate her.

“No p>
“If you don’t come, I’ll never forgive you for as long as I live. I’ll cut you off p>
Caspian glared at Lemira, remembering how she used to fear his anger, afraid of him ignoring her.
Lemira laughed, “Well, that’s a promise then. Make sure you keep your word p>
With that, she turned and walked away.
Caspian, seething, adjusted his tie, “Lemira, you’ll regret this p>
Evelina, seeing how mad Caspian was, tried to console him, “Caspian, don’t be mad. Lemmy’s just being stubborn p>
“She’s been stubborn for too long now. How much longer does everyone have to cater to her whims p>
Caspian couldn’t believe how much had changed during his absence.
