too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 520

Lila was momentarily puzzled. Was Matthew really following Michael's lead, or was he just naturally reserved?

Taking advantage of Matthew's absence, she couldn't help but ask, "How did you two end up sticking together? Why does it seem like Matthew listens to you so much?"

Michael thought for a moment. "Really? He listens to you a lot too. Maybe it's because I helped him out once. We barely spoke before that.

"Around the New Year, Cedric arranged for us to attend an event together, and there was some guy with a higher status who was deliberately ordering him around. Since we're from the same company, I obviously couldn't let that slide, so I helped teached that guy a lesson."

Lila thought back to the time when she was in conflict with the Morgan family, and most of her artists were being managed by Ethan.

She had briefly looked into Matthew's past, and it was indeed tragic.

His parents didn't care for him, nor did his grandparents. He had begun working various jobs since his teenage years. When he worked at a bar, his good looks often made him a target for unwanted attention.

Though he appeared cold, he lacked affection.

So, when people like Michael, Lila, and Ethan showed him kindness, Matthew became fiercely loyal.

Being kind was a good thing, but being too kind would make one vulnerable to deception. She would have to find time to teach him how to protect himself.

…

Time on set flew by, and soon, a week had passed.

Lila glanced at her phone, where Kieran had just sent her a message. It was a photo of Nova obediently drinking water.

With the cooperation between the Moore family, the Morgan clan, and their international operations starting up again, Kieran had been incredibly busy and hadn't visited all week.

At Morgan Group Headquarters, Kieran was about to wrap up a discussion with Faith regarding upcoming tasks before heading to the film set to see Lila when Cole knocked on the door and entered. "Mr. Morgan, some people from the Moore family are here."

Before he even finished speaking, a large group of people strode in.

Anyone unaware of the situation might have thought they were here to stage a coup.

Leading the group was Faith's father, Dennis, the eldest of the Moore family. He attempted to wear a warm smile, but his sharp eyes made the expression seem unnatural.

Behind him were Harrison, Andy, and several assistants and bodyguards. The spacious president's office suddenly felt rather crowded.
