too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 521

Hearing Kieran's words, those in the room wore various expressions.

Faith lowered her gaze, determination shining in her eyes.

Daughters were never inferior to sons.

Andy glanced at her, his lips curling into a mocking smile.

Wishful thinking.

Dennis, naturally, picked up on the coldness in Kieran's words. He remained composed but was furious on the inside.

How dare this young man speak to him that way?

But what puzzled him more was—hadn't Kieran firmly rejected the idea of an arranged marriage before? Why was he now speaking up for that worthless Faith?

Kieran was not the kind of man to be swayed by sentimentality.

Could it be...

Dennis calculated in his mind. Had the two of them grown close after spending time together?

With that thought, a smile quickly returned to his face.

"Of course, there's no such law. Faith is intelligent and obedient. She's far less troublesome than this brat. I've also been considering training her as my successor."

Faith's still lowered eyes were filled with mockery.

Kieran's gaze remained cold, making Dennis shift his focus back to the main topic. "Andy, why are you still standing there? Have you forgotten what I told you before we came? And your own promise? Hurry up and apologize to Kieran!"

Andy jolted, then stepped forward. The smug look he had shown Faith earlier was now completely gone.

"Kieran, I was an idiot that day. You don't know—those guys I was with were acting recklessly, and I got irritated. When I saw Lila, I lost my temper. Please, I hope you'll forgive me for the sake of the friendship between our families and our business partnership.

"I know you wanted Grandpa to come that day, but you also know he's old and can't endure all that travel. If it'll make you feel better, I'll do anything. I'll even serve you coffee and water for the rest of our collaboration."
