too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian)

Dorian was the face of Nexus Entertainment, and Lila had the Morgan family as her backing.

Regardless of which, neither was someone Leonard could afford to offend.

Noticing his hesitation, Lila didn't want to put him in a difficult position. "Mr. Lawson, all I need is the surveillance footage and the filming videos from here. I'll find out the truth myself. The rest has nothing to do with you."

She turned back, her cold gaze sweeping over Dorian and Zara. The chilling scrutiny made both of them stiffen slightly.

"We must get to the bottom of this. What do you think, Dorian?"

Dorian narrowed his eyes. Those beautiful eyes, which he once loved most used to shine clearly with his reflection.

But now, while he could see his shadow in them, it felt like he was trapped in an ice cellar, never to see the light of day again.

Dorian's heart tightened momentarily, but he quickly dismissed that feeling.

He mustn't be fooled by her pretentious demeanor.

She knew very well that Zara was gentle and kind. How could she possibly harm a newcomer for no reason?

Her aggressive attitude now was just another way to target her!

He clenched his fist. "What if Zara is being wronged?"

"If she is wronged, I will publicly apologize to her," Lila answered without hesitation.

Everyone looked at her in surprise. Although Lila was not an actress, her association with Dorian made her more famous than some actual stars.

There have been many rumors online about her, Dorian, and Zara recently. If she publicly apologized at this moment, it would be like putting herself on display to be roasted.noveldrama

For a moment, even Jamie felt a bit guilty. Lila wouldn't have been dragged into this mess if it weren't for her.

She gritted her teeth and stepped out from behind Lila. "This situation arose because of me. If Zara didn't do it, then I will publicly apologize to her."

Dorian didn't even glance at her, his gaze still fixed firmly on Lila. "You want to apologize publicly? How many people even know you? This minor loss of yours cannot compensate for Zara's grievances.

"Lila, don't be too naive!" he said.

A smile played on his lips, and he could clearly see the brief pause in Lila's eyes.

He was doing this on purpose, pushing Lila to mention more severe consequences. She would naturally come to him for help when she couldn't back down anymore.

Jamie furrowed her brows, worry evident as she looked at Lila.

But Lila lifted her gaze, her expression cold and clear. She locked onto Dorian's eyes before slowly breaking into a smile.

Looking at his confident demeanor, Lila's eyes held unmistakable mockery.

He really didn't understand Zara at all.

Initially, Lila had only harbored suspicions, but with Jamie's words, she was now certain that Zara had done this intentionally.

"Alright, since Dorian thinks that's not enough, let's add another condition. If I truly wronged Zara, I will voluntarily leave Nexus Entertainment." She spoke without a hint of weakness.

Everyone around was taken aback, including Zara, whose gaze held a hint of disbelief.

In her view, when Lila said she would leave, it was just out of spite. Otherwise, she wouldn't keep appearing in front of Dorian.

Zara was determined to cut off ties between them, but she hadn't expected that Lila would say something like leaving Nexus Entertainment for the sake of two

newcomers.

However, Zara didn't feel too surprised.

She wouldn't mind letting them continue their quarrel if she weren't doing it on purpose.

But the truth was, she knew that Dorian's car accident yesterday was to chase after Lila.

She had endured her discomfort and actively went to take care of Dorian, only to be thrown out.

And he even said that Lila was his girlfriend!

She was long past being that, and it would never be possible again!

After returning home, Zara had a sleepless night.

She tossed and turned, constantly thinking about how to make them fall apart. Finally, she remembered how much Lila cared about those two newcomers. So, she decided to use them to force her away. If something happened, Dorian would surely defend her, and Lila would undoubtedly be utterly disappointed.
