Too late for a second chance (Lila and Dorian)

Chapter 217

Logan seemed to sense what Fletcher was thinking and narrowed his eyes. "If you trust me, just wait patiently."

"Can I even afford to wait? You don't know how bad things are right now!" Fletcher gritted his teeth and snapped in frustration.

"Dorian's target isn't you. He's just using you to force Lila into a corner. The situation right now doesn't harm you."

Fletcher clenched his fists tightly, battling with his inner turmoil. "I don't want to hurt Lila. I can tell she genuinely wants to help me. Maybe she really has a way out?"

"Fletcher, stay calm. I want to trust Lila, too, but how much real sincerity can you expect from people in the entertainment industry?"

Logan remained much calmer than him. "Listen to me. Let the public opinion continue to ferment. In the end, you can present yourself as the victim. Tell Lila that you didn't do any of this and that you even tried to clarify things. It's just the fans who don't believe it. Remember, you're also a victim."

Fletcher furrowed his brows, remaining silent though his hesitation was evident.

"Trust me. You're my responsibility. Do you think I would harm you? Or do you want to continue living like this for another six months?" Logan pushed, adding more fuel to the fire. "Fletcher, this is a rare opportunity. You can't hesitate."

Fletcher sat down silently in defeat, yet it was clear he reluctantly accepted Logan's advice. His fists remained clenched, trying to convince himself that he would eventually help Lila. He owed her for giving him a chance.

The news online was causing a huge stir, and even Nicole, who didn't usually follow entertainment news, had heard the rumors. She checked online and found a flood of insulting comments directed at Lila.
