Chapter 50
Ethan advised Dorian, “Ms. Blake, bow about I recheck Mr. Vince’s schedule? You could try to intercept him and ask why it has to be Lila!
For we could have Nexus Entertainment’s higher–ups step in and send someone more experienced over. Lane Group might agree to continue the collaboration What do you think?
The latter suggestion only added fuel to the fire
To outsiders, it seemed that Dorian had taken on this project as a means of a career shift, but only he and Lila knew that that was merely an excuse.
The ultimate goal was to free himself from Nexus Entertainment’s control.
He had let Lila take full charge of the matter because she was entirely on his side.
Now that success was within reach, involving Nexus Entertaiment at this stage would render all his previous efforts completely futile.
Dorian slammed his fist onto the car, instantly tearing the skin on the back of his hand, Bright red blood splattered to the ground, blooming like a vivid flower.
His eyes were fierce, and his face darkened.
“Lila, why couldn’t you just behave a little more?” he thought
Ethan had never seen him so furious. He was terrified, breaking out in a cold sweat. “Mr. Blake…!!
He took a deep breath, his gaze landing on the bloodstains on the cat. In a panic, he grabbed a first aid kit from inside the vehicle to treat Dorian’s wound.
Before he could even teach him, Dorian knocked it away. “Get away!”
He stood under the sun, its rays scorching his skin, causing a painful burn.
Erhan quietly picked up the items, intending to suggest that he retum first. But when he looked up, he saw the usually proud man with bloodshot eyes.
It was hard to tell whether he was frustrated about the project or furious about Lila being with another man.
Erhan opened his mouth but ended up saving nothing.
They kept waiting outside the restaurant.
Meanwhile, Lucas followed the server to the innermost private room. He knocked on the door and, upon heating a response of “Please come in“, pushed the door
open
Kieran stood up, and next to him, a porcelain–skinned young girl with rosy lips gracefully stood as well. She was not as composed as the man but instead smiled
sweetly at the newcomer.
In that instant, Locas‘ mind flashed back to the flower shop he had passed earlier, where several bright sunflowers were on display, vibrant and eye–catching.
“Mr. Morgan, it’s been a long time. Who is this?”
Everyone knew Kieran was not interested in lust, so he dared not casually speculate about their relationship,
“Hello, Uncle Locas,” Lila greeted politely with a gentle smile.
She had beard a bit about Lucas, the general manager of Lane Group, and knew he was a notable figure.
was accompanying Kieran out, and she couldn’t let him look bad.
It was the first time Lila was accon
She was already poised but paid extra attention to her demeanor, appearing even more elegant and gracious
Lucas nearly choked upon hearing her addressing him as “Uncle Lucas,”
Kieran’s gaze shifted slightly, his tone unusually gentle. “No need for formality, Mr. Lane. Please take a seat. This is Ms. Hart. Just call her Lila. She has nothing to do today and decided to tag along for a meal. I hope you don’t mind?”
He was usually quiet, and it was Lucas‘ first time hearing him speak so much in one go.
This girl clearly held significant weight in his heart.
As for whether he minded? What a joke!
Lucas chuckled cheerfully. “How could I? You’re the one being formal here! I just encountered some trouble outside that made you wait.”
Lila, who had just sat down, looked up in confusion.
Noticing her puzzlement, Kieran casually picked up the conversation. “What trouble? Do you need help?”
Upon heating Zara’s invitation, Teddy’s eyes lit up. He eagerly looked at Lila as if he wanted to shout, “I want to go out with my idol!”

Zata didn’t want to engage. She quickly caught up with Donan while noticing the eyes on them.
She deliberately pulled Donan closer, her demeanor intimate, resembling a lovely couple.
The onlookers fixed their gaze on them, whispering among themselves.

Hearing outsiders discuss his relationship with Zara, Dorian felf a wave of discomfort wash over him..
He glanced at Zara’s hand. He wanted to pull away but hesitated and ultimately didn’t react.
When he looked up again, Lila had already walked far away
But they could still hear the group discussing behind them.
Teddy was curious. “Ms. Hart, is what they said true?”
Lila walked gracefully, her high heels clicking against the ground and the hem of her skirt swaying with the wind
Lila kept her gaze straight ahead. “They half right.”
Teddy’s expression turned pained, as if he were about to dry
“What’s wrong? Are you moved to tears by their love?” Lilachuckled, surprised that she could casually joke about it now.
“Does this look like I’in touched? I’m really sad.
“No one can understand! I finally got close to my idol, only to find out she was already in a relationship. I’d rather jest admire bet from afar!
“The worst part is that her other hall is Dorian, a senior. I don’t even have a chance to compete,” Teddy said.
He spoke with a sense of grievance, feeling as it he might just break down and cry.
Jamie Blinked vigorously at him, trying to signal him.
“Is there something wrong with your eyes? Have eye drops if you need some,” he offered.
Jamie jumped up and gave him a playful smack. “Save it for yourself, stupid!”
Teddy was dumbfounded.
He was heartbroken and still cared about her, and yet he was being scolded?
As they walked to the parking lot, Dorian caught up with them,
