too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 342

Lila had just taken a few steps when someone blocked her path. "Are you here alone, pretty lady? Want to hang out for a while?"

She glanced at the outstretched hands, then took a step back, her brows slightly furrowed.

"Don't refuse, you—"

"Get lost," Lila coldly interrupted.

"You've got some fire in you, but you're already here. What's with the act?"

Unable to stand by, the bartender asked, "Why make things hard for a girl?"

Lila's mood had already soured, and her patience was running thin. Her gaze turned icy as she asked, "Do you know who I am?"

The tall, thin man scoffed. "Do you know who I am? I could be your father if I want to."

"Hey, how dare you call yourself her father? You're asking for trouble."

The two men looked disturbed at first, but their expressions shifted to fear when they turned to see who had spoken. "Mr. West! Long time no see! Is this your girl?" The two men quickly tried to ingratiate themselves.

Landon's expression darkened. "If you can't speak properly, I'll make sure you can't speak at all."

He stepped in front of Lila, glaring fiercely at the two men. "You two, drag them somewhere private and beat them senseless. If you accidentally kill them, Kieran from the Morgan family will take full responsibility."

The two men were terrified, not even understanding how they'd ended up in this mess with the Morgan family's devil.

"Mr. West, we were wrong. Please spare us! We don't even know what we did to offend you!"

However, Landon didn't pay them any more attention. He turned to Lila with a smile and asked, "Lila, what are you doing sitting here all alone? Where's Kieran?"

Lila recognized this kid from the West family. He often followed Kieran around. He was carefree and had an easygoing personality. It was clear he'd grown up pampered.

Lila didn't want to stay there any longer, but if she left alone and ran into Pierre again, it would be hard to escape. She was calculating the safest way to leave.

The Locke family wasn't collapsing like the Bolton family, but they were still affected. Martin had made it clear he wouldn't intervene in Pierre's life anymore.

Lila took out the paper and carefully read the contents under the dim light. It was a simple sentence.

"Don't you want to know the truth about your parents' death?"

Her brows furrowed tightly, and she ripped up the paper without hesitation. She called out to Landon, "Can you take me to the parking lot?"

Landon didn't think much of it, assuming she was still shaken from the earlier encounter with the two men. And even if Lila hadn't married Kieran, she was his most cherished younger relative. Naturally, Landon was more than happy to help protect her.

Like a knight in shining armor, Landon escorted her outside and even kindly called for a designated driver for her.

He waited until the car started moving before leaving. However, the car was stopped just a few miles onto the road. The driver slammed on the brakes and muttered a curse.
