Too late for a second chance (Lila and Dorian)

Chapter 312

"Because your parents died for the Morgan family. They adopted you to atone for their sins and to ease their conscience."

After saying this, Pierre expected to see shock on Lila's face, but instead, there was none.

"That car accident-" He was about to continue but was interrupted.

"Enough!" She snapped, her voice sharp. "If you came here just to tell me this, you can stop. I have no interest in hearing it."

"Fine then." He sighed in frustration. "Since you don't want to listen, I'll consider it my mistake. But being friends isn't too much to ask, is it?"

He raised his glass, looking graceful. Despite his known recklessness as the default heir to the Locke family, many still sought to associate with him for power and wealth.

Now, as he spoke to Lila, many people around them were already starting to look their way. He looked at the glass she held, clearly waiting for her to drink. It was a subtle way of putting her in a difficult position.

If she didn't drink, it would be seen as disrespect to the Locke family. But Pierre didn't pressure her. Instead, he gestured slightly with his hand.

Then, he raised the glass to his lips and drank it in one go.
