Too late for a second chance (Lila and Dorian)

Chapter 266

"Nothing to say?"

With those few words, the room's atmosphere instantly became heavier, and Shannon suddenly felt short of breath.

She paused for a moment and then said, "I don't understand. Please clarify, Mr. Morgan."

Cole stepped forward. "Ms. Bolton, were you the one who brought Dorian into the venue last night?"

She looked up, her expression giving nothing away, without a hint of guilt. "I didn't know he had any connection with Lila."

Cole smiled lightly. "Why did you bring an unrelated person into the Morgan family banquet?"

He looked at her, his expression no different from how it usually was at work as if asking a routine question.

Shannon hesitated before explaining, "He said he was also attending the banquet, but his invitation was lost. He didn't seem like an ordinary person, so I helped him out."

She thought Cole would continue questioning her, but instead, he simply nodded. "That's all I needed to ask."

Kieran looked up indifferently, no longer continuing the topic. "The project on Lane Group's internet security system will be handed over to Casey for management. As for the other testing project, you'll continue to oversee it."

Shannon's calm expression instantly changed. Her voice involuntarily rose. "Mr. Morgan, why? I negotiated the Lane Group project. Why is the follow-up being handed over to someone else?"
