too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 343

The sudden movement jolted Lila, but she quickly stabilized herself before looking up. She saw someone dressed all in black, with a black cap and mask.

It was Pierre. The only visible part was his eyes, fixed intently on Lila in the passenger seat.

The designated driver honked the horn twice, but no one moved.

Was this an extortion attempt? The driver just wanted to do his job. The driver was clearly irritated. "Miss, wait a moment. I'll go drive him off."

"Wait..."

Lila tried to stop him, but the driver had already gotten out of the car. She quickly took out her phone and called the police.

The driver muttered something to Pierre, and his expression turned furious.

He made a move, but Pierre was faster, shoving him aside. Then, Pierre quickly climbed into the driver's seat.

Lila's nerves tightened as she reached for her seatbelt, preparing to exit the car.

But Pierre was quicker, locking the car doors immediately.

"Don't rush, let's talk. I don't want to hurt you today."

Lila gripped the seatbelt tightly, her gaze cold as ice.

She sneered. "You really think I don't know? Shannon ran me off the road, and you were behind it."

Pierre smirked. "You're mistaken. I've seen her, but I never intended to kill you. After all, I haven't gotten what I want from you yet, have I?"

Beneath the cap, his eyes looked like dark caves teeming with poisonous insects—an unsettling sight that disgusted Lila.

She couldn't help but feel revolted. Pierre's gaze shifted to the driver outside, who was angrily tapping on the window.

Lila said, "Please get out. I've already called the police."

"Don't worry." Pierre spread his hands. "I have no ill intentions toward you for now. I just want to make you an offer. At least let me finish speaking."

"You must hate me for that, right? But destroying the Locke family will only benefit you."

Lila looked at him, then scoffed. "I don't want any part in your feud with the Locke family. If you want to blame someone for your mother's death, it should be your father. It has nothing to do with anyone else!

"Isn't it funny? You honor your mother's memory, but at the same time, you're destroying women just like her. You really disgust me!

"Even if you find the truth behind your mother's death and avenge her, she will never forgive you. She will hate you just as much as she hated your father.

"Because you and your father are the same—equally disgusting, unworthy animals!"

These words enraged Pierre. His smile twisted into something more sinister.

"You're pretty bold."

Lila was betting that he still had a shred of conscience. His mother had to be his one soft spot.

Pierre's grip tightened around her neck, and his already menacing eyes grew colder, more vicious. The look in them sent a chill down her spine.
