Chapter 40
Jamie was indignant. “She started this, so why should we accommodate her? Just because she’s an idiot?”
Teddy’s eyes widened. How could the sweet little Jamie suddenly become so enraged? It felt as if Dorian’s presence had flipped a switch in Jamie, transforming her into a furious creature.
Dorian’s expression darkened instantly. How dare a newcomer speak to him like that?
Darcy, furious, was about to rush forward to hit her. “You little bitch! How dare you talk to me like that! Just wait until I shut you up!”
Lila quickly pulled Jamie aside to prevent that crazy woman from attacking her.
“Dorian, keep your dog in place!”
“You… you guys! I’ll kill you two bitches!” Darcy jumped in anger, her face contorted, shouting that she would strike again.
Her voice was loud, attracting the attention of many crew members, who began to whisper among themselves.
“Enough! This isn’t your place to throw a tantrum. If you keep acting like this, don’t bother coming back,” Dorian said coldly, his eyes showing displeasure.
He’d have kicked this unruly cousin to the curb by now if it weren’t for his uncle.
What a disgrace!
Darcy opened her mouth but dared not speak further. She lowered her head to stand beside Dorian, glaring fiercely at Lila.
That bitch! She broke up with him and still wouldn’t get lost, always hanging around Dorian. Was she trying to seduce him back?
What a shameless person!
Though she had shut up, Lila and Jamie could see how filthy her thoughts were.
Teddy positioned himself between the two women. His brows and eyes were sharp when he wasn’t smiling, giving him an imposing presence.
But once he opened his mouth, his true nature was revealed. “You’re already cosplaying as an old witch. Do you have to maintain that persona in everything you say and do?
“And what’s with the constant squinting? Are your eyes uncomfortable? I have eye drops. Do you need a drop or two?”
Dorian shot Teddy a displeased look.
Darcy was one of his own, and he had the right to scold her.
But Teddy’s behavior was clearly a challenge to his status and identity!
Yet Teddy seemed oblivious, chuckling away as he said, “Mr. Blake, do you also want to borrow my eye drops?”
Dorian was dumbfounded.
This guy must be out of his mind!
Jamie wanted to laugh while also wishing to throw away his eye drops.
Dorian turned to Lila. “About the breakup, I never agreed to it. If you don’t want to apologize to Zara, I won’t force you. Just come back to me, and I won’t hold anything against you.”
He pinched the bridge of his nose, genuinely feeling exhausted.
Now that the conversation had reached this point, Lila should tone down her temper.
On one hand, he didn’t believe that Lila would seek out a benefactor, yet he couldn’t explain where she got the luxury car from.
The previous night had turned into an endless cycle of torment that almost drove him crazy.
How dare she?
Just the thought of her being under someone else made Dorian resist the urge to knock on her door in the middle of the night, wanting to ask which bastard it was!
He wanted to kill that person!
But he held back, fearing that if he saw Lila, he might end up choking her instead! Lila observed his dark and fluctuating expression, frowning slightly.
Hadn’t she made herself clear that night?
“What are you talking about, Mr. Blake?”
Teddy couldn’t keep it in anymore. “Lila was your manager before. Not allowing you to go public with your relationship was for your good. Whether you want to break up or not is your business. Why should Lila have to apologize?
“And if you want her back, you should have the attitude to make her want to return!
“The way you’re acting all high and mighty, giving orders, really isn’t very manly!”
