Too late for a second chance (Lila and Dorian)

Chapter 223

Lila hesitated for just a second before quickly taking the keys from Terry. She didn't forget to remind him, "Be careful."

By now, some reporters had started a live stream, and within two minutes, many viewers had tuned in. Recently, her popularity surpassed that of many first and second-tier celebrities.

Dorian's face darkened even further when he saw Terry's familiar figure with Lila in the camera. He had just been searching for her but couldn't find her. He suspected she had hidden somewhere and called for help.

He had anticipated that someone like Noah or Vince would come to her aid, enabling him to frame Lila as someone who had a powerful backer, which he could then use to force her into returning. But he didn't expect her to run into Terry, who had actually helped her.

His gaze sharpened, and a new idea formed in his mind. What if he spread rumors that these two had been close for a long time, implying that Terry had stolen his best friend's girlfriend?

This would make Lila feel the need to prove their relationship to protect Terry's reputation. With that thought, Dorian quickly contacted someone to post a status.

Meanwhile, following Terry's directions, Lila was hurrying to the car, but the crowd had already targeted her. Terry had failed to stop them.

The path was blocked, and Terry arrived just in time to signal her not to get out of the car.

"Step back!" he commanded in a cold tone. "Do you all want to offend the Jones family?"
