too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 142

After Dorian walked away, Cole frowned and said, "Mr. Morgan, you helped Ms. Hart leave Nexus Entertainment, but the Heart of Clarity project is enough for us to pay the breach of contract fee.

"Are we really going to hand the project over to Dorian?"

Kieran stood up, adjusted his clothes, and said casually, "I gave it to him, but can he keep it?"

On the other side, Lila had started talking to Benjamin.

She didn't expect that Benjamin's indifferent attitude would change right away when he saw the Magi Pictures exclusive invitation.

The collaboration came together much more easily than she imagined.

The Lane Group's charity gala ended successfully that night.

On the way back, Jamie and Teddy were stunned to learn that Lila had secured the partnership with the Joyce Group.

"I heard the CEO of the Joyce Group is tough to talk to, Ms. Hart. How did you manage to do it?"

When Kieran entered the venue, the two were just absent, so they only heard later that a big shot had arrived.

Naturally, they didn't connect this important figure with Lila's uncle.

Lila didn't go into details. She gently pressed her lips together and answered, "Someone helped introduce me."

What Benjamin cared about wasn't herself or Magi Pictures but rather the Morgan Group behind them. Lila was very clear on that.

The two in the back seat continued to talk about the events that happened and didn't probe further.

Lila relaxed slightly. Today was another day of leeching off Kieran.

Lila didn't expect her good luck to last into the next day.

Billy called her, asking her to come back to the company in the afternoon.

It was Billy's office, yet Dorian was there as well.

As soon as Lila entered the room, she knitted her brows slightly. She felt a wave of disgust so strong she didn't even want to step inside.

She couldn't tell what trick Dorian was up to this time.

Dorian looked at her unmasked emotions, and his face darkened slightly.

He just needed to wait a little longer, and she would lose everything.

"Ah, no, that's not what I meant," Billy quickly backpedaled.

Lila's smirk deepened. "You're not directly firing me because of my contract with the company. You can't fire me outright. Suspending all my work is forcing me to leave, right?"

Billy's eyelid twitched. "I..."

When Lila and Dorian had signed with the company, no one had anticipated that Dorian would rise to this level.

As the biggest contributor to his success, the company treated Lila differently.

The higher-ups had privately signed a contract with Lila to retain her and allow her to bring even more profit to the company.

The company couldn't fire her unless she resigned. Otherwise, they'd have to pay her a hefty penalty for breach of contract.

But now, with Lila being sidelined, the company clearly didn't want to pay that money.

Lila ignored Billy's discomfort, her lips curling into a mocking smile.

"I can leave myself." She narrowed her eyes. "But I want Jamie and Teddy to come with me and not pay a single cent in breach of contract fees."
