Chapter 447
Evelina's face was as pale as a ghost, and she couldn't find the words to respond.
Trembling with fear, she stammered, "I-I didn't say anything, please don't blme."
Now she was in deep trouble. If Caspian found out, she was as good as dead.
Lemira, observing Evelina's guilty demeanor, had a pretty good guess of what had transpired.
She turned to Caspian, "Remember that tyou almost got beaten to a pulp by those thugs in the alley?"
"Lemira, you finally remembered. Don't you feel a bit guilty?"
"Why should 1? | ran out of the alley to get help for you. That's when | bumped into Evelina, but the thugs found
us. They threatened us to reveal your whereabouts."
Caspian frowned deeply. "Lemira, did you tell those thugs where | was?"
"The one who betrayed your location was Evelina, not me. If | hadn't distracted Evelina by claiming | knew where
you were and led them in the opposite direction, you wouldn't be here today." Lemira remembered it all too well.
Ever since that incident, Caspian had been increasingly hostile towards her.
On the other hand, Evelina seemed to grow closer to Caspian, who often cto her defense.
Lemira couldn't figure out why, mistakenly thinking Evelina had stolen yet another brother figure from her.
So, this was the real reason.
After hearing this, Caspian glanced at Evelina, "Is this true?"

"Caspian, it's not like that. That day, it was Lemmy who panicked and wanted to disclose your location, but |
stopped her. Then | quietly went back to the alley to find you and took you to the hospital." Evelina's face was
drained of color, and admitting the truth was not an option.
After all, years had passed without witness.
No one would believe Lemira's word over hers.
Yet, Caspian fell silent.
Orion eyed Evelina, "If Lemira was the one who pointed out Caspian's location, why didn't the thugs go after him,
but you did?"
Evelina stuttered, "I managed to throw the thugs off track."
"And how did you manage that? What was Lemira doing at the time?"
Under Orion's relentless questioning, Evelina becvisibly flustered, "I-| can't remember exactly what | did and
Lemira... she was so scared she just ran off, even claiming she barely knew Caspian and that | was his real
sister."
Lemira scoffed, "Evelina, you're still a master of lies, | see."
"I'm not lying."
"You claim you can't remember what you did, but you seem to recall my actions very clearly."
Lemira glared at Evelina. "The reason you 'can't remember" is that | was the one who lured those thugs away,
something you couldn't possibly claim."
Because admitting it would give her away.
Evelina, now sweating bullets, insisted, "No, | really can't remember, Caspian, you have to believe me."
Caspian glanced at Evelina before

Caspian wasn't quite convinced Lemira had actually saved him.

Lemira's face darkened, a shadow passing over her features.
She remained silent for a moment before replying, "That's not a memory | cherish."
Upon hearing this, Orion immediately took her hand, "You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to."
