Chapter 238
“I’m not hungry.” Amelia shook her head. “But do you know that the police arrested Fletcher?
s, when the Jowee Group contacted me to find a replacement for the role, they told me about it.”
Amelia sighed. She didn’t notice the brief disappointment in Lila’s eyes.
Lila wanted to help Fletcher deal with his radical fanbase, but he had already sabotaged everything before the plans could begin. The day before, Fletcher’s agent had contacted her, saving Fletcher was in detention and wanted to meet withher
She refused immediately. She never sympathized with people who tried to step on others to climb higher
The world might have been tough, but ethics and morals kept us human. That was why she despised tinrian so much. He would stop at nothing to achieve his goals. Eventually, he would have to pay the price for his actions.
After hanging up, Fletcher’s agent sent her a long message. Basically, Fletcher claimed his emotions had blinded him, but he never actually intended to hurt her. He didn’t know anything about the photos or the fans‘ troublemaking
Lila believed the last part, but that was all. He wasn’t the mastermind, but he was still an accomplice.
Seeing Lila suddenly tall silent, Amelia thought she was upset and tried to comfort her. “This person has no conscience. If it weren’t for you insisting on taking him in, I wouldn’t have kept him, and you wouldn’t have gotten hurt..
“Utimately, it’s my fault for not thinking things through.”
She took the blame on herself and then frowned. “Do you know that Dorian has been looking for you these past
st two days? He couldn’t reach you, so he called me.”
Amelia’s gaze was fixed on Lila, but she didn’t see any change in her expression.
Lila’s smile remained faint and calm.
“I didn’t know he was looking for me,” Lila replied, her tone revealing no hint of emotion. “just ignore him. Don’t let him cause you any trouble.”
Amelia nodded. Seeing that Lila no longer cared about Dorian, she switched the topic and started introducing the replacement for Fletcher
“He’s good–looking, doesn’t come from any powerful background, but he’s hard–worlding. Now that I think about it, he kind of reminds me of Teddy, though in terms of looks, he’s not quite as good–loolding as Teddy.”
Lila didn’t feel as bored driving, with Amelia rambling about all sorts of things. By the latter half of the trip, Amelia’s voice had quieted considerably, and eventually, there was no more tallding.
Lila glanced over and saw that Amelia had fallen asleep. Her mouth moved as if she was mumbling something in her sleep.
Lila chuckled, her eyes full of tenderness, even with a hint of affection.
The two–hour drive passed quickly. When Amelia woke up, they had just arrived at their destination. She stretched lazily before getting out of the car.
As she looked up, she froze. “He… be….. he………!
Lila followed her gaze and frowned slightly. The man in a s
suit, though meticulously dressed, still had a haggard look on his face.
It was Dorian. After not seeing him for some time, he lost much weight.
Dorian immediately walked toward Lila after spotting her.
Amelia hurriedly circled the car and stepped in front of Lila.
“I didn’t tell him anything. He asked me, but I didn’t say a word!”
Lila knew that Amelia hadn’t said anything. The crew had announced the filming and posted updates on the official Twitter account. Since he was familiar with the entertainment industry, Dorian naturally knew where to find her.
The day before, Lila had received a call from Camille, who warned her to be careful if she encountered Dorian. Although Camille didn’t explain why, Lila could guess that Dorian had approached them after seeing the media reports about her public image turnaround and the engagement news with Kieran
It was clear that Dorian had gone to Camille. Was he asking for help in convincing her to retum?
Lila sneered.
Dorian had reached her. “Lila, why
y didn’t yo
you ever tell me that you’re the adopted daughter of the Morgan family?”
