The girl was furious but didn’t dare say much more.
The Morgan family protected Lila. If things escalated, she’d be the one to suffer. Even her family might face consequences as well
She bit down on her lip, her expression mixed with humiliation and anger
The other girl tugged her arm and said, “Good day, Ms. Hart, We’ve got things to do, so we’ll be going now.”
After the two left, Lila turned on the faucet when another person stepped out from one of the stalls.
Speak of the devil,
Unlike her professional outfit from earlier, Shannon was now wearing a fitted black gown that showed off her figure
Her long hair was tied neatly in the back, giving her a polished yet more mature and alluring appearance.
For a fleeting moment, Lila couldn’t help but admire her. Shannon really was beautiful.
Shannon approached, stopping, two or three steps away. She watched Lila wash her hands meticulously.
Just as Lila was about to leave, Shannon finally spoke up. “Even if you’ve used your tricks to stand by Mr. Morgan’s side, it won’t last.
“You’d be better off knowing your place and leaving alone. At least that way, you’d hold on to some dignity,
“If you keep being stubborn, you’ll hear more things like what those two just said.”
Lila pulled out a tissue and began wiping her fingers one by one.
“So, you think you’ll have a chance if I leave?
Lila’s words were blunt, and Shannon let out a soft laugh. “Even if you stay, your time by Mr. Morgan’s side won’t last long.”
“Since you’re so confident about that, there’s no need to drive me away then.”
“I just don’t want someone like you tarnishing someone as exceptional as Mr. Morga,” Shannon said, narrowing her eyes.
“Lila, after all that the Morgan family has done for you, are you really going to repay their kindness with betrayal?”
Lila had finished drying her hands.
She tossed the tissue into the trash can and said, “You see, I’ve always had a rebellious streak. The more people tell me not to do something, the more i feel like doing it
“What do you think I should do about that?”
As she spoke, she casually brushed back the strands of hair that had fallen in front of her face.
Her tone was so casual that it seemed she didn’t take Kieran or the idea of marriage seriously.
But that nonchalance only infuriated Shannon.
“You!” Shannon’s chest tightened with frustration, leaving her momentarily speechless.
She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down,
Why had she allowed herself to be riled up by this girl?
Even
Las she regained her composure, the mocking undertone in her voice was unmistakable.
Chapter 255
“I must admit, I underestimated you, Shannon said. “But I’m curious. If Mr. Morgan were to find our that you’re still entangled with another man, do you think he’d still want you?”
Lila wondered… Had she been particularly close to any man recently?
None came to mind.
Shannon’s smirk grew contemptuous as she saw Lila’s contusion. She pulled a photograph from her pocket.
This is your ex–boyfriend, isn’t it?”
Lila glanced at it briefly.
It was Dorian, seated in his wheelchair, looking just as he had the last time she had seen him.
Her eyes narrowed slightly.
Someone photographed her meeting Dorian that day.
Was she being followed?
“He’s outside the venue right now,” Shannon continued, her tone laced with satisfaction. “If you don’t see him, he might just barge in.”
Lila couldn’t hold back a laugh. For a moment, she had expected some grand scheme.
But this? It was barely different from the threats Dorian had once tried to use against her.
Her interest vanished instantly.
