Chapter 248
Lila clenched her fingers, her emotions a tangled mess.
After finishing her tasks for the day, she went straight back to the hotel, skipping dinner with the others.
Amelia watched her leave, feeling uneasy. “Do you think it’s because I brought up Dorian getting hurt? Is she still worried about him?”
“No,” Jamie quickly said. “Ms. Hart isn’t the type of person who says she’s let something go but still keeps thinking about it.
“It’s probably because you mentioned Uncle Kieran, and she felt guilty about him.”
…
Meanwhile, Lila had already returned to her room and went through her night routine. Then, feeling drained, she laid on the bed and stared at the ceiling.
She didn’t even remember when she fell asleep, but the following day, she woke up before the alarm went off.
She didn’t go back to sleep. Instead, she got ready to head to the set early to prepare for the day’s work.
She exited the hotel lobby and saw Darcy storming over in high heels.
With her heavy makeup look, Lila felt like an angry monkey was charging at her.
Darcy always acted without thinking. She raised her hand to strike, but Lila reacted quickly, grabbing her arm and throwing her off.
Darcy nearly lost her balance with her heels. If Lila hadn’t caught her, she would have fallen into the nearby pillar.
How many times would it take for Darcy to finally learn the lesson?
“Lila, how dare you do this to me? How did Dorian manage to meet a walking disaster like you? Don’t you know how serious his injuries are now?
“You’re going to go with me to see him and take care of him! If anything happens to him, you won’t be far behind!” Darcy glared at her viciously.
Ever since their breakup, Dorian’s life has been a series of misfortunes, which had even affected the family business.
Her pocket money had also been significantly reduced.
Lila looked at her with disdain. “I have no obligation to take care of him.”
“What do you mean you don’t have an obligation? Would Dorian have sent Zara to jail if it weren’t for you? Would that crazy woman hold such a grudge against him?
“If it weren’t for his quick thinking, he would already be dead by now! Lila, do you
have a conscience?
“After all these years, hasn’t he treated you well enough? Do you really think that latching onto a sugar daddy turns you into an heiress?

“What ‘Morgan family adopted daughter’? I think Mr. Morgan was just afraid that
your identity would embarrass him, so he gave you a title.
“But you actually believed it, didn’t you?”
Darcy’s face was contemptuous, but her eyes showed clear jealousy.
Why did it have to be Lila?
Why did she get to latch onto Kieran?

Why did Lila get all the good things? No wonder she could afford a two-million- dollar car!
If Darcy were the one with Kieran, all the luxury cars, designer brands, and jewelry would be hers!
As Darcy thought of this, her hatred grew.
She grabbed Lila without hesitation. “You’re going to see Dorian today!”
If she could keep Lila wrapped up with Dorian, Kieran would never look her way again. No man would tolerate being cuckolded!
Lila grabbed Darcy’s wrist, trying her best not to get hurt. Just as she was about to push her away, someone stepped in and shielded her.
Darcy’s back hit the pillar, making her grimace in pain, cursing loudly and spewing insults.
She looked up and saw an unfamiliar man.
Though this man appeared to have a notable background, his presence wasn’t as intimidating as Kieran’s.
Darcy’s anger flared even more. “Lila, you really are cheap, hopping from man to man!”
