Chapter 22
Zara threw herself into Dorian’s annus without a second though
ce they were in the car. “Dorian, L’in ser sorry! It’s all my fault.
“It hadn’t insisted on this role, you and Lila wouldn’t be in such a deadlock, and you wouldn’t have lost Taylor’s project. It’s all my fault.
“Lila is right. It’s my lack of ability that cost me the part, I was there just to humiliate myself and drag you down with me. Please scold me!”
Dorian held her, gently patting her back Histone way soft, a stark contras the harshwords he had spoken with Lila
better not to act in this movie,
“It’s all Lila’s fault. It has nothing to do with you. She’s deliberately targ
“Lila has clearly bribed Samuel Being around people who lack morals will only affect my work mood.
“Don’t
twony. I’ll get back at her for the grievances you faced today.”
Zara looked up at him, her eyes rited with admiration.
Then, her voice quivered, and she said, “But are you really going to make it public like Lila said? it you do, you might really end up tearing your relationship apart.”
Dorian let out a cold laugh “Zara, you’re too kind–hearted. You don’t understand how cunning Lila is. Her intentions are difficult to predict
“The more you back down, the more she will take advantage of you. Since that’s the case, I have no reason to give her more chances.
“By making our situation public, she’ll see my determination. She’ll realize I won’t indulge her unreasonable antics any longer. Once everyone knows, no one will treat her kindly out of respect for me.
“At that point, she’ll understand who she really owes everything to, and naturally, Lala will come back to me obediently. I’ll make sure she apologizes to you properly.”
Zadelt pleased. But when she heard, “Naturally, Lila will come back to me obediently,” her mind went blank.
What did that mean? Dorian still wanted to be with Lila?
After Dorian left, both Lila and Cole maintained a calm demeanor, while Samuel’s expression was somewhat troubled. He wasn’t familiar with Dorian but had
heard plenty of rumors about him.
This great actor, who had been in the spotlight over the past two years, was generally regarded as having a cold exterior but a warm heart. He was known for his tact and politeness
However, today, his thoughts aligned with Cole’s; the rumors about Dorian circulating weren’t entirely accurate.
Afterhesitating. Samuel asked, “If this does get publicized, with so many fans, could it negatively impact you? Was that a bit too impulsive just now?
Cole also felt that this situation could become troublesome. If a significant wave of negative public opinion arose, even with the Morgan Group’s intervention, would be difficult to clean up the mess given the public’s collective voice.
This matter needed to be reported to Kieran immediately.
He thought briefly and said, “Mr. Grant, I’ve finished touring the set here. Just have someone calculate the required funds, and once you draft the contract, you can
Contact us.
“Can I have a word with Ms. Hart privately?
When Samuel heard they could calculate the funds, he smiled broadly. He didn’t even notice what was said afterward; he just agreed.
Lila followed Cole to a secluded spot. Cole tried to comfort her, “Ms. Hart, don’t be upset. It’s Donan who doesn’t deserve you.
“As for the trouble he’s causing, Mr. Morgan will take care of it for you. Just focus on your filming here.”
Lila smiled. “Mr. Mason, I can handle this myself. There’s no need to bother my uncle about it; he’s busy enough as it is. This tiny matter doesn’t require
attention.”
Cole paused momen
momentarily, and then his gaze softened as he looked at her. How could Lila be so well–behaved and understanding?
Lila felt a bit bewildered by his look
“Ms. Hart, I’ve finished my business here. I need to head back to the company to report to Mr. Morgan. He should come to pick you up later”
Lila nodded. She let out a slight sigh after watching him leave. She didn’t feel at ease inside, even though she spoke about it as
She would need to consider how to handle the situation tomorrow.

were nothing just now.
