Too late for a second chance (Lila and Dorian)

Chapter 20

In an instant, everyone's eyes turned to Lila. She looked at Dorian, took a deep breath, and then unleashed the words she had held back for so long.

"You seem to be a dick who doesn't understand human language."

Cole almost burst out laughing. He had never expected the usually gentle Lila to curse when pushed to her limits.

Kieran missing this moment was a real shame. Cole should've recorded the whole thing down.

Dorian was stunned. "What did you say?"

"Whether you want to act in this movie is your choice! As for Zara, she isn't cut out for it. Even if the President himself came to plead for her today, she wouldn't be able to stay!"

"You!" Dorian was furious, his eyes widening with anger. "You're "

It was clear that she used underhanded tactics to steal Zara's spot!

"Yes, I'm unyielding, obstinate, and don't listen to any advice. If you want to leave, hurry up and take your "sister". We can't accommodate two royals like you here!"

Her words came out in a rush, but she felt a twinge of anxiety afterward. She wasn't the one in charge; that was Samuel. What right did she have to decide Dorian's fate?

Dorian was aware of this, too. He looked coldly at Samuel. "Mr. Grant, are you going to let her cause such a scene?"

Samuel's eyes flickered momentarily, and he didn't respond immediately. He was somewhat surprised that Taylor had recommended Dorian. His talent and popularity made him a solid choice.

"Mr. Grant," Cole said with a smirk, "Acting is a profession, right? Since it's a profession, shouldn't actors show some dedication?"
