Chapter 129
Dorian’s expression softened a little when he heard this.
“What are you still doing here then? Go and contact someone to get those invitations.”
Dorian’s gaze darkened as he watched Oliver nod and leave, making the air heavy and oppressive. He didn’t want to bother with Zara anymore, but he couldn’t fully let her go either.
After thinking for a moment, he contacted someone to ask about the situation and see if he could get her out sooner.
As for Lila… After that fight with Terry, he got Terry to send the script the next day. He wondered if Terry had said anything to Lila.
A cold smile curled on his lips. Even if he had, what difference would it make?
That rising star, who had risen to fame in the past two years under Nexus Entertainment’s support, owed much of her success to her father, a senior executive at Nexus Entertainment.
This wasn’t the first time she had shown interest in Dorian. To protect Lila, he had rejected her invitations several times.
Until that day, when he was feeling down, he had a bit to drink and happened to run into her. At that moment, his control slipped. He hadn’t done anything too extreme, so what could Lila possibly be unhappy about?
The filming for Samuel’s project was nearing its end. Lila had been busy daily, and Samuel had been mentoring her with all his knowledge.
Time flew, and soon, it was the day of Lane Group’s charity gala.
A few days ago, Kieran had come to see her, and Lila had casually mentioned the event.
“That day when I met Vince, I felt like I had seen him before.”
Kieran looked up, a rare hint of surprise in his eyes. “You don’t remember him?” “Hmm?” She was even more surprised.
He lowered his gaze and smiled lightly, his expression cold, aloof, and stunningly beautiful.
“He’s the current president of Lane Group. You should have met him in high school. Lucas brought him to our home once. He and Noah are also friends, and Noah brought him along another time.”
Lila was even more shocked. “I have no memory of it, but he does look familiar. Wait… he’s Mr. Lane’s son?”
She knew that Vince was involved in business, but after the meal that day, she hadn’t made the connection between his Lane Group and the Lane Group she knew. So, Jamie was a young lady from a wealthy family?
Lila rubbed her forehead. Was Jamie just here to experience life? If Teddy found out, he would probably jump up in shock.
Kieran chuckled. “They are related, but not father-and-son related-he’s his nephew.”
“Really? They do look alike.”
“Years ago, Vince’s father died in a car accident while saving Lucas. After that, Lucas took him in and treated him like he was his own, and Vince started managing Lane Group early on. His mother was heartbroken and took his sister abroad.”
Kieran slowly explained, “His sister is the new actress under you.”
Lila blinked in surprise and then asked, “Uncle Kieran, you knew about this all along?”
“Yes, you’re still inexperienced, and I was worried someone might be inappropriate around you, so I did a quick check. Since nothing came up, I didn’t mention it to you.”
He smiled lightly. “Besides, I thought you would know. With a background like this, your company should have informed you.”
“My company didn’t mention it, and I don’t usually pay attention to my subordinates’ backgrounds.” Lila pondered for a moment. “It was no wonder Jamie’s breach-of-contract penalty is a million higher than Teddy’s.”
“Breach-of-contract penalty?”
She waved her hand dismissively. “I’m planning to leave Nexus Entertainment and take them with me.”
