too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 502

Lila had hoped this deal would help take some of the burden off Kieran, but her patience had its limits.

"You bitch! How dare you hit me?" Andy had never been humiliated like this before. Enraged, he raised a hand to strike back.

Michael moved quickly, stepping forward to shield Lila, but she had already sidestepped on her own. Without hesitation, she grabbed a nearby wine bottle and smashed it over Andy's head.

A pained scream tore from his throat as the commotion drew the attention of the surrounding guests.

Michael and Faith both froze, staring at Lila in shock.

Was this the same gentle, easygoing woman they knew?

"You're dead!" Andy touched his forehead, fingers coming away slick with warm blood. His eyes burned red with rage.

Michael made a move to intervene, but Lila blocked him with an outstretched arm. "Stay back. You're a public figure. Don't get involved."

"Lila Hart, right?" Andy's temple throbbed, but his voice dripped with venom.

"Do you think you can do whatever the hell you want just because Kieran has your back? This is why women are idiots. Kieran needs the Moore family's cooperation, so what the hell do you count on?"

Maybe it was the pain clouding his judgment. Maybe he had just never seen women as a real threat. Either way, he let his guard down.

Lila had taken a hit herself, but she still managed to land a brutal kick right between his legs.

The once-arrogant Moore family heir immediately collapsed, clutching himself as a wretched howl ripped from his throat.

"You fucking bitch!"

Just then, the event coordinator rushed over, ready to explode—only to freeze in place. His mouth opened, but no words came out. His face turned red from sheer panic.

Two Moore family members, and the company president's wife.

There wasn't a single person here he could afford to offend.

Andy's face was deathly pale as he fixed his furious glare on Faith. "Are you just gonna stand there like a fucking corpse? You're siding with outsiders to humiliate me? Just wait until we get back to Luxford, you're gonna rot in the basement for this!"

His teeth clenched so hard his jaw trembled, cold sweat trickling down his forehead.

Andy hadn't come alone. His second uncle, Harrison, was with him.
