Chapter 55
Ethan watched Zara get up to leave.
She wore her usual delicate white dress, her well-groomed long hair casually falling over her shoulders. The traces of tears under her eyes hadn’t been fully wiped away, making her appear quite vulnerable.
If only she were willing, many excellent men would surely be enamored with her.
He couldn’t understand why she insisted on pursuing Dorian, who already had a girlfriend.
His gaze shifted to Dorian, who lay on the bed watching Zara leave, his expression gentle, as if she were his girlfriend.
Did he really not understand why Lila was angry?
“Why haven’t you contacted Lila yet?”
As soon as Zara left, Dorian’s demeanor darkened, becoming a completely different person.
Ethan lowered his head and made a call.
But he thought there was no need for Lila to turn back now.
Dorian’s gaze remained fixed on him, his eyes like a bottomless pit of sin. A glance made one feel like being pulled into the depths, doomed for eternity.
When the call was declined, Ethan felt an inexplicable sense of relief.
Dorian smashed the cup beside him, pointing at Ethan and shouting, “Useless! What good are you?”
He was like an irritability disorder patient, pacing back and forth in the hospital room without even putting on his shoes.
“Right now, you need to drive and find her! Today, even if it means tying her up, you have to bring her back!”
Ethan looked up at him, his expression incredibly complicated.
“Mr. Blake, you’re a public figure. If people find out about this, we won’t be able to explain.”
Dorian snorted coldly. “I had a fight with my girlfriend. Do those idiot fans think they have a say in it?”
“What are you still doing here?” His eyes were cold. “I pay you a high salary every month, yet you’re still useless?”
Ethan shook his head and said, “I’m going now.”
When Cole received the call from the hotel, he had just finished showering.
He frowned and replied, “Make sure he doesn’t go up and disturb Ms. Hart, and don’t let her know about this.”
After receiving assurances from the other end, Cole immediately called Kieran.
“Mr. Morgan, you can really see the future. Thankfully, I arranged for the hotel staff in advance not to disclose Ms. Hart’s room number. Dorian’s assistant just went to the hotel to look for her.”
Kieran asked, “Do you know what this is about?”
“Well, I don’t know that, but I forgot to tell you something. After coming back today,
I had someone check, and that loud noise was indeed due to Dorian’s incident, but it’s not serious.
“He just cut his arm when the glass shattered, and because of his bad attitude toward the traffic police, he was detained for two hours for a reprimand.”
Cole wanted to laugh but remained serious as he analyzed the situation. “So I suspect that he’s trying to play the victim because of his injury, seeking sympathy from Ms. Hart to win her back.”
The man chuckled briefly on the other end of the phone.
Although he had yet to have much contact with Dorian, his extensive experience allowed him to see that this man was proud and ambitious.
But he couldn’t help it. Lila liked him.
If she liked him, then so be it. It wasn’t too much of an issue with the Morgan family and himself backing her.
But now that she no longer loved him, there was no need to give him any more support.
“Slowly withdraw all investments related to him from the Morgan family. As for the previous favors we extended, just hint at them a bit.
“He has no connection with Lila anymore; business should be conducted as
usual, without regard for the Morgan family’s reputation.”
His words ignited Cole’s passion.
Kieran added, “And don’t let Lila know about this.”
“Got it. I promise not to let Ms. Hart know!”
The next day, the film officially began production, and Lila was busy running around with Samuel.
