too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 57

Dorian was the face of Nexus Entertainment, and Lila had the Morgan family as her backing.

Regardless of which, neither was someone Leonard could afford to offend.

Noticing his hesitation, Lila didn't want to put him in a difficult position. "Mr. Lawson, all I need is the surveillance footage and the filming videos from here. I'll find out the truth myself. The rest has nothing to do with you."

She turned back, her cold gaze sweeping over Dorian and Zara. The chilling scrutiny made both of them stiffen slightly.

"We must get to the bottom of this. What do you think, Dorian?"

Dorian narrowed his eyes. Those beautiful eyes, which he once loved most used to shine clearly with his reflection.

But now, while he could see his shadow in them, it felt like he was trapped in an ice cellar, never to see the light of day again.

Dorian's heart tightened momentarily, but he quickly dismissed that feeling.

He mustn't be fooled by her pretentious demeanor.

She knew very well that Zara was gentle and kind. How could she possibly harm a newcomer for no reason?

Her aggressive attitude now was just another way to target her!

He clenched his fist. "What if Zara is being wronged?"

"If she is wronged, I will publicly apologize to her," Lila answered without hesitation.

Everyone looked at her in surprise. Although Lila was not an actress, her association with Dorian made her more famous than some actual stars.

There have been many rumors online about her, Dorian, and Zara recently. If she publicly apologized at this moment, it would be like putting herself on display to be roasted.

For a moment, even Jamie felt a bit guilty. Lila wouldn't have been dragged into this mess if it weren't for her.

She gritted her teeth and stepped out from behind Lila. "This situation arose because of me. If Zara didn't do it, then I will publicly apologize to her."

Dorian didn't even glance at her, his gaze still fixed firmly on Lila. "You want to apologize publicly? How many people even know you? This minor loss of yours cannot compensate for Zara's grievances.

"Lila, don't be too naive!" he said.

A smile played on his lips, and he could clearly see the brief pause in Lila's eyes.
