Chapter 214
The real culprit was about to appear.
Lila took the elevator down to the parking lot. By this time, the rush hour was over, and the lot was nearly empty. It didn’t take long for her to spot the familiar
blackcor.
The person inside also saw her the moment she arrived. Dorian looked even more haggard than before, though his face was clean–shaven. He was dressed in casual clothes that Lila had bought for him in the past, which was a rare sight since he usually wore a suit
He walked up to her and saw no surprise on her face. It was as if she had been expecting him.
“Lila.”
She took a step back, putting some distance between them. “What role did Fletcher play in all of this?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Dorian’s eyes shifted slightly. “I’ve seen the news online. I’m here to help you.”
“Help me?” Lila couldn’t help but laugh. The mockery was clear in her voice.
He tried to ignore her sarcasm. “Lila, come back to me. If we’re together, those rumors will fall apart on their own
Fletcher was a newcomer with no real work to his name–how could he be compared to someone like him, a screen legend? Anyone with eyes could see who the
better choice was
“Why do you think I would choose someone who has betrayed me?”
Her words struck like a sharp thom in his heart, and he finally realized how wrong he had been. He took a deep breath and suppressed the discomfort as well as a faint sense of regret within him
“You have no choice now.” Dorian tried to make his voice sound gentle. “Lila, stop being so headstrong. This situation won’t benefit you in any way.”
“This is my business, Mr. Blake. There’s no need for you to worry.
Lila’s face was cold. Her eyes were like ice, giving off a chilling aura that made her seem untouchable. She finished speaking, then tumed her gaze away and continued walking forward.
He gritted his teeth, watching her back, and shouted sharply, “Lila, do you really think you can solve everything yourself?
“Do you know who forced you out of Nexus Entertainment? It wasn’t me. It was Kieran, the president of Morgan Group. He doesn’t want you or Noah to have any further involvement.
“He promised to cooperate with me and had you removed from Nexus Entertainment, leaving you with nothing. You and Noah won’t have a future together.
“Go home and think over my proposal tonight. Come back to me, and we’ll start over. I’ll treat you like I did before–love you, care for you.
“If I don’t get a satisfactory answer, I’ll contact Kieran and tell him you’re now with Magi Pictures. Will you still be able to stay there once he finds out? Can you still hold on to the Joyce Group’s cooperation?”
Lila had already reached the car when he finished saying those words. Before closing the door, she glanced at the man standing there, her expression cold and sinister. She was speechless..
Noah was right–what a disgrace! Having an ex–boyfriend like this was the land of black mark she would never be able to erase from her lite.
However, when did Kieran work with Dorian?
ey must have had some knowledge of each other.
And Fletcher. She narrowed her eyes. Although Dorian and Fletcher hadn’t had any direct interaction, they must
When she asked what role Fletcher played, Dorian acted as if he didn’t even know him. He was clearly trying to cover something up.
Her slender fingers lightly tapped on the keyboard, her gaze becoming deeper as she pondered.
Fletcher was talented, and she didn’t want him to be ruined by these irrational fans, but he seemed to have his own ideas. What role had he played in this whole drama? What advantage did he have by putting himself at the center of public attention, or did he want to use her to root out the toxic elements?
However, following her path and focusing on acting was the easiest and most effective way to succeed.
Lila shook her head, trying not to overthink it. As her car drove up, she spotted another car parked by the side of the road. She slowed down, and the person inside
