Chapter 486

    Orion hung up the call and immediately dialed Thaddeus, "Is Asher the one the Waverlies have picked for their son-inw?"


    "To be honest, I have no clue. The Waverlies are keeping it under wraps, saying they want to wait until their daughter and her fiancé have developed some feelings before making it public."


    After exining, Thaddeus added, "Where did you hear it was Asher? That seems a bit far-fetched."


    Orion recounted the press conference Lemira had called earlier that day.


    This left Thaddeus in silence: "How did Matthew find out? I had no idea."


    "I''m curious about that too. I''ll ask him about itter."


    "On the Waverlies'' end, I''ll see what my uncle knows."


    Thaddeus hadn''t expected such a coincidence.


    Orion tried calling Matthew after hanging up, but got no response.


    So, he texted Matthew, asking how he knew about Asher''s engagement to the Waverlies'' daughter.


    Matthew had just arrived at school with Lemira.


    Worried about exposing his brother''s identity, he hadn''t dared to answer the call.


    When Lemira and Matthew showed up at the team''s base, everyone was stunned and then burst into screams.


    Who would have thought they''d see their idol at school one day?


    Matthew, being the youngest esports prodigy, had a massive fanbase.


    Lemira smiled at everyone, "He''s here to spar with you guys today. Make sure to seize the opportunity."


    Before Matthew could reply to his brother, Lemira had him seated and started his coaching session.


    While coaching, Matthew thought, he definitely needed to ask his brother for a coaching fee reimbursement.


    Back in the office, Lemira told Janice, "Order everyone a cup of coffee on me, will you?"


    "Did your press conference go smoothly? I didn''t see it trending."


    "Not smoothly, because it never happened."


    Seeing Janice''s worried expression, Lemira quickly reassured, "Don''t worry about me. You better go watch their training. Can''t let star-gazing get in the way of practice."


    After Janice left, Lemira''s expression softened a bit.


    She remembered ric''s issue, where Asher wasn''t as anxious, but he seemed particrly worried about the Caspian situation.


    It seemed Asher had invested a lot in Caspian.


    Just then, Lemira''s phone rang. It was Caspian calling.


    Lemira didn''t answer and hung up.


    Soon, the officendline rang, and she picked up tentatively, "Hello, who''s this?"


    "Lemira, I heard you were nning a press conference today, aiming to reveal everything, right?"


    Hearing Caspian''s voice, Lemira found it odd; he didn''t seem too angry?


    She replied indifferently, "Yes, but the conference didn''t happen. However, I n to go live. He can''t stop me."


    "Lemira, Asher is nning to send Lucian off for treatment with Rowan, meaning he won''t be able to testify about the will for you. Do you really want to watch as everything falls into Evelina''s hands?"


    Of course not!


    "Lemira, how about we team up?"


    "Team up? Am I hearing you right? But I don''t see any necessity in cooperating


    with you."


    Lemira was about to hang up.


    "It''s necessary. You already know about Asher''s engagement to the Waverlies. You can''t even take on


    Waverties. Even if you go live


    the Sinir family, let alone the


    Waverlies can stop you; PixelStage has shares belonging to the Waverlies."


    Lemira scoffed, "But you''re still lying. That''s not the real reason you''re proposing a partnership."


    She knew Caspian wasn''t that kind of person.


    There was a long silence on the


    other end, followed by Caspian''s voice tinged with resignation, "Asher ns to hand my entertainmentpany over to Evelina and push her to stardom. I won''t let that woman seed. I''ve worked hard for mypany, and Asher has no right to give it away."


    Lemiraughed mockingly, "So, she''s taking yourpany, huh? Well, that''s


    karma for you."
