too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 122

"You're not completely useless after all," Zara said.

Leyla moved her eyes slightly. "Now that Lila knows I hold a grudge against her, she'll be the first to suspect me if she sees these videos. You get someone to do this, and once it's done, I'll want 500 thousand."

Zara gave her a suspicious glance, thought for a moment, and then nodded.

Seeing that she agreed, Leyla didn't say anything more and left with a stern face. Once she had walked far enough, she turned back for a glance.

She was leaving this task to Zara. It wouldn't be linked to her even if Lila traced it back to the source.

She had seen Lila getting into a luxury car today. It was probably her backer. If that person didn't help Lila, it would be perfect for her to strike a fatal blow.

But if the backer intervened, even if Lila weren't brought down, it would still cause her a lot of trouble.

Meanwhile, Dorian was also in a bad mood.

His face darkened after hearing that Lila's issue had been resolved smoothly.

"Where is she now?"

Oliver hesitated before answering. "A man came and picked her up just now."

"A man?" Dorian's expression went from dark to grim. "What did he look like?"

"I didn't see clearly." Oliver was nervous.

"What car did he drive?" Even though Dorian had someone in mind, he still couldn't help but ask to confirm.

"It was a black Maybach."

Dorian clenched his fist so tightly that his knuckles cracked.

She nodded, then added, "I wanted to leave a good impression on Leonard, so when they offered to pay for it, I didn't push it further. Sorry, Uncle Kieran." Her voice was soft and frail, full of disappointment.

"Since it was a gift from me, you can decide what happens to it. There's no need to apologize," he said gently, his expression warm. "But for now, give it to Cole. Later, he'll take it abroad for repairs."

Cole stepped forward to take the camera and also offered words of comfort. "Don't worry, Ms. Hart. After a few days, it'll be as good as new."

"Those who have been causing you trouble won't be a bother anymore," Kieran thought.

After the meal, he took her back and then left.

Lila watched his car disappear in the distance, feeling happy that he had come to eat with her, but she also felt it had taken up too much of his time. Maybe she should tell him not to do this again.

Before Lila could finish her thought, the phone rang, interrupting her.

"Ms. Hart, something's happened!" Before she could say anything, Jamie's anxious voice came through the line.
