too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 567

The young man was clearly calculative. 300 thousand dollars was just enough for them to pay the deposit for a house they were interested in that was near schools. With the money, his wife wouldn't make a fuss anymore.

He didn't expect Yasmin to be useful. When Yasmin's mother was still alive, he couldn't get any money from her. Now that she had passed away, her daughter was useful.

He saw that Lila and Nicole were frowning and didn't respond. He said in displeasure, "Just be straightforward. Are you compensating us or not? If you aren't, we'll take Yasmin away."

Vivienne Lancaster, the old woman, shouted, "This is outrageous! These people are trying to take my granddaughter. It's nothing short of robbery! Is there no one to stop them?"

Nicole had been elegant her entire life. She had never seen a woman cause such a commotion before and in a hospital at that. Acting this way would only cause trouble to the staff.

There were many wounded patients today. Vivienne making a scene created a bad impression. Nicole thought that 300 thousand dollars wasn't much and wanted to compensate Vivienne.

Lila could tell what Nicole was thinking. She immediately stopped the latter before grabbing her phone.

The young man was growing impatient. "We don't have the time to waste on you!"

Vivienne sat on the ground. "Is there no one to set things right? These thieves not only caused my daughter-in-law's death, but they also want to take my granddaughter now without compensation!"

Lila snorted. "Yasmin's mother's death was accidental. At that time, the rescue team was around. Are you blaming the rescue team by claiming she was killed? Do you know that accusing public servants is a crime? How many years do you want to stay in jail? I don't mind sending you there."

Hearing that, Vivienne paused. She hadn't expected Lila to be so good with words. However, Lila was still too young to frighten Vivienne.

"Even if you didn't kill her mother, it's true that you want to take her. We have raised her for so long. How could you take her away just like that?"

What Vivienne said was full of lies, but she didn't feel burdened at all. Lila couldn't help but be impressed. Vivienne was truly shameless.
