Too late for a second chance (Lila and Dorian)

Beatrice's brows furrowed. She couldn't read Lila's thoughts.

"Faith is my daughter. I admit I was biased, but I want to make it up to her now," Beatrice said.

Lila snorted. "Mrs. Moore, this is a Moore family matter. Or rather, this is between you and Faith. I don't see how it has much to do with me."

Lila was making it clear there was nothing for them to talk about.

Beatrice's gaze sharpened. "I know Moore Group shareholders' meeting was moved up. That was Kieran's decision, wasn't it?

"If you're trying to help Faith, wouldn't my shares be crucial?"

Lila chuckled again. "If you were willing to transfer them, you'd go straight to Faith and sign the transfer agreement. But instead, you came to me. That makes it hard for me not to question your intentions."

She observed the shift in Beatrice's expression and quickly assessed her motives. Wasn't it weird Beatrice suddenly decided to hand over shares to Faith?

Lila tapped her finger against her steering wheels and wiped the smile off her face. "I've made myself clear. I'll be leaving now."

With that, she rolled up the window and maneuvered around Beatrice before driving off.
