Chapter 249
Darry looked at Vince with a sneer. “Do you have any idea how many men she’s been with? And you’re still protecting her?
“You’re the one being cheated on, and you’re too oblivious to in. I honestly feel sorry for you”
Vince was dressed in a well–tailored gray suit. The usually calm and gentleman now had a cold demeanor, his gaze carrying an imposing aura.
He stood half a step ahead of Lila, adopting a protective stance.
“Compared to you, I’m not that pitiful. The more empty someone is inside, the louder they shout. – He adjusted his glasses, a seemingly habitual motion, but today, it carried a cleat tone of mockery.
Darcy was stunned. She realized he was mocking her
Hertemper flared, and the stomped her feet “Who do you think you are?–
Although her family’s business was struggling, a lion was stillation, even when it was hungry
There was no way some lowly employee could be compared to her.
“Lila, your colleague sure has the nerve to talk big. You really don’t understand the Blake family’s influence, do you?
“I’ll let you off the hook if you visit Dorian at the hospital. I’m giving you a way out.” Darcy’s words were dripping with threat.
Lila looked up at the sun, which was just starting to rise. She got up early for no reason today.
She looked at Darcy. “Does everyone in your family have a defective brain? How else can you not understand what others are saying?
“I’ll say this one last time. I have no relationship with Dorian anymore. Whether he lives or dies, it’s none of my business.”
“You vicious woman, how dare you curse him, you!”
Darcy was about to make a move, but Lila quickly turned to shout, “Security, this person is causing trouble and not letting us leave the hotel! The two security guards, observing from a distance, immediately intervened.
“Miss, please don’t disrupt the hotel’s usual operations.”
“Please step back and don’t obstruct the guests.”
The two guards pushed Darcy back
“Get out of my way! Don’t touch me, or I’ll call the police and accuse you of avsault!”
She yelled loudly, but the guards ignored her.
“La! Lila, how dare you treat me like this? You’ll regret it! You bitch! My family’s misfortune is all because of you!”
She kept hurling insults, but Lila shot her a cold glance before pulling Vince away.
Once they had walked far, Lila finally asked, “Are you here to see Jamie?”
Vince hesitated for a moment. “I’m here mainly to find you and also to check on her.”
“Hmm? Me She thought briefly before asking, “Are you looking to ask about the film’s progress?”
“No”
Vince stopped in his tracks, his gaze falling on her. His eyes seemed distant and deep, tinged with a faint melancholy.
Lila noticed the emotions in his eyes and fell silent for a while.
She rugged at the edge of her clothes and wondered how to steer the conversation in a different direction
But Vince asked, “Are you and Mr. Morgan planning to make the take relationship real?
Her fingers twitched. Lila wasn’t particularly surprised that Vince had figured out the truth.
This man was far more intelligent than he let on
Honestly, Lucas had taught him well, truly raising him like his own son.
“Can you keep a secret for me?” Lila didn’t beat around the bush
“This matter is quite complicated, and I don’t have a good solution yet.” She pressed berlips together. “Next Friday, my family is holding a birthday banquet for me. You and Jamie should come.”
Vince! wanted to askil the Morgan family was planning to announce her marriage to Kieran at this banquet.
But he knew he had no right to ask
He nodded, though he didn’t dare to voice the question. If Lila had to choose one person–could be ever be the one?
Vince lowered his gaze and followed Lila to the set.
When Jamie arrived, she saw Vince sitting alone in a comer, looking like a lonely child, staring blankly into the distance.
