Too late for a second chance (Lila and Dorian)

Chapter 301

Kieran first sent a message to Cole, asking him to investigate what had happened. Then, he walked over to the couch.

When the listless Lila felt a shadow fall over her, she looked up and immediately sat up straight.

"Uncle Kieran, why are you back so early today?" she asked, forcing herself to sound more energetic.

She wasn't easily influenced by others, but Pierre left her with unease. After that gathering, she ran into him a few more times.

At the time, she was overwhelmed with worries about Dorian's career. He was also struggling to make ends meet, taking on any small role he could find. Sometimes, he even helped with minor tasks on the set to make a good impression.

She felt sorry for him and didn't mention it when Pierre approached her.

What stood out the most was that night when she came home late from work-a luxury car was parked downstairs, and Pierre leaned against it, half of his body hidden in the shadows. When he saw her coming, he even politely put out his cigarette.

Lila suddenly recalled the discomfort she felt when he touched her. It made her stomach churn.

"Ms. Hart, it's been a long time since we've seen each other. How have you been recently?" Pierre spoke up just as she was about to turn away.
