too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 21

Lila lowered her gaze slightly, her long eyelashes casting a slight shadow on her eyelids, giving her a cold look.

"Lila!" Dorian gritted his teeth. "Zara is my sister. Show some respect!"

As he said this, he loosened his grip around her shoulders. Zara felt a pang of anxiety and pulled away from his embrace.

She cried, "Lila, I never expected you to look at us this way. I should have known you were deliberately targeting me! I should have stopped Dorian from bringing me here to face this humiliation.

"If I hadn't come, he wouldn't have lost this film opportunity. Don't you care about my career or Dorian's? How can't you let go of this? Just let us both go!"

Her words drew deep frowns from Cole and Samuel.

Dorian felt a sharp pain in his heart, and he was filled with guilt. She wouldn't have to confront such slander and injustice if only he hadn't agreed to bring Zara today.

And now, in his eyes, Lila had become a mean person. Samuel wanted to step in and help Lila explain, but she spoke up first.

"You two are really siblings, and so am I with Noah," she said with a chuckle. Her calm demeanor showed no sign of pretense.

Though it was true they were siblings, Dorian found it absurd. Lila's loyalty to their relationship was the bottom line. He scoffed coldly.

"Do you think I'm stupid? What kind of siblings are you guys?"

Lila smiled. "We are adopted siblings, and that's more genuine than your relationship. If it weren't for having this brother, I'd have to wonder if all siblings interacted like you two."

Cole and Samuel watched how the two were acting so intimately, and a chill ran down their spines after hearing Lila's words.
