Chapter 6

Lila didn't expect him to figure it out so quickly. She had planned to talk about it when she arrived. But when faced with Taylor and Camille, she didn't know how to begin.

It wasn't that she still had feelings for Dorian; she just didn't want to see the disappointment in their eyes.

Taylor sighed. "Camille saw at the film festival how that brat Dorian gave away the bracelet you've gotten. She's been upset about it for two days now. Alas... Come in. Let's talk."

Lila felt her chest tighten at his sigh.

"That brat is so ungrateful. I told you, you shouldn't have stopped me! I should have dragged him over and given him a good talking to so he would know the bracelet was something Lila took long hours to pray for!

"Dorian was your student, but Lila is too! How can you defend that brat and not care about her? Why aren't you saying anything?"

Hearing no response, Camille turned around, ready to scold Taylor again. But when she turned, she saw Lila standing there. "Lila?"

Despite her age, Camille still carried an air of elegance from years of being steeped in classical culture. Even though she was no longer young, one could still get a glimpse of her beauty from her youth.

She hurriedly got up, and Lila reached out to steady her. "Mrs. Foster, it's me."

Lila hadn't cried when she broke up with Dorian, but now her eyes welled up with tears.

"Oh, you poor child," Camille said, pulling her into a hug.

Camille's heart ached, and she almost cried when she felt Lila's body tremble slightly from holding back tears. She said with concern and frustration, "If you're upset, tell me. I'll stand up for you."

"What Dorian did was just too much! He doesn't even cherish you. I'm furious! Even if you broke up with him, I would still-"

"Ahem," Taylor interrupted. "You're getting carried away."
