Too late for a second chance (Lila and Dorian)

Chapter 149

When Dorian heard these words, he hesitated, but didn't offer any further rebuttal.

Margaret noticed his wavering and pressed on, "Dorian, listen to your aunt. We're family, and I would never harm you.

"Ms. Joyce is beautiful and well-educated. I know you're a man of loyalty, and you've been with Lila for many years. The Blake family has never mistreated her."

"Have we ever made her go hungry or dressed her poorly all these years? Without you, she would never have seen this world of high society. You've been more than good to her."

"You're loyal and caring, but she's not grateful. Didn't you see how she treated me just now? The way she looked at me was so arrogant as if she were some heiress from a noble family. It was really irritating!"

The last comment made Dorian think of Lila's recent attitude toward him. His brows instantly furrowed, and a wave of irritation rose in his chest.

"Dorian, go meet Ms. Joyce. If things go well, you might even discuss a business partnership. There's nothing to lose."

Dorian pinched the bridge of his nose, thinking for a long while before finally speaking. "Fine, just this once."

Margaret was overjoyed upon hearing his concession. "Don't worry! I won't make any decisions for you. Ms. Joyce said that if you agree to meet, it'll be at the
