too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 107

Dorian lifted his head, and although his words should have been pleading, his condescending attitude made it seem like he was offering Lila charity.

With his title as Best Actor, a box office record of 50 billion, and international awards and offers from top directors, he was at the peak of his career, enjoying unparalleled success in the industry. If she weren't foolish, she would know how to choose—he had already given her an easy way out.

But when Lila looked at him, there was no trace of happiness or gratitude in her eyes. Instead, her lips curled into a mocking smile.

"We won't get back together because you're no longer the person I loved. As for what I want, you don't need to bother, Mr. Blake."

Dorian felt like she could see straight through him, and that look made him uncomfortable.

She shouldn't look at him like that—with so much disdain, stubbornness, and high-mindedness.

He frowned. Her gaze should be gentle and filled with affection.

"Lila, you say I've changed, but haven't you changed, too?"

Jamie couldn't bear to watch any longer. Teddy had no idea where the former, who looked so slender, managed to summon the strength to break free from him.

"You cheated, and now you're acting like you're right? Where's your brain, huh? You're so amazing, but you still can't leave Lila alone? Mr. Blake, you're too much for us!"

She straightened her back like a warrior. "Ms. Hart's already said it's over, and you're still not leaving? You wouldn't be playing the clingy game, right?"

Lila blinked, feeling a touch of gratitude for the unconditional support. She had only known these two newcomers briefly, yet they were protecting her without hesitation. Meanwhile, her boyfriend of five years acted high-handed, arrogant, and commanding.

She found it deeply ironic.

Though harmless, Jamie's words were a slap in Dorian's face. He narrowed his eyes, his face darkening. "You really think I won't do anything to you?"

"Of course you do. You're shameless enough to do anything," she replied, unflinching.

Her words drove him into a fury, and he raised his hand, intending to strike her. But Lila was quick to react, stepping in and blocking him. "Dorian, are you really going to lose all dignity?"

Had Zara said that? Lila's eyes narrowed in suspicion. "What are you planning to do?"

His eyes remained chillingly cold. "Lila, there's a live-stream event for the film set at 7:00 pm. You'll come quietly if you don't want these two newcomers to be completely erased from the entertainment industry."

"What do you want?"

He wiped the blood from his lips, a cold and unsettling aura surrounding him. He didn't answer her. He continued in an authoritative tone.

"You'll know what to do when you get there. If not, just wait for them to be blacklisted. You know I always follow through."

Without giving her a chance to refuse, he gave the other two a final threatening glance and turned to leave.

Once he was gone, Teddy lowered his head, looking guilty. "Ms. Hart, did I cause trouble for you?"
