too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 147

Lila acted as though she didn't notice Margaret's fury radiating off of her.

She looked innocent and said, "Could it be that those elite women didn't invite you because they felt your status was so noble that they were too embarrassed to ask?"

Margaret looked as if she had been struck in the chest, but she still made an effort to maintain her poised demeanor.

"You... You lowly woman! How dare you speak to my mother like that!" Darcy said through gritted teeth. "Did you ever think about what would happen when you made Ms. Parker stop teaching me? Did you ever think about why you got kicked out of Nexus Entertainment? Karma is real. Just wait, you'll die starving in some alley!"

Lila looked at her, surprised by how quickly they had gotten the information.

Her gaze became slightly appraising, and her look carried a certain implication that made Darcy and Margaret uneasy.

Margaret had often made things difficult for Lila, either intentionally or unintentionally.

She was sure that Lila, being as calculating as she was, couldn't have missed the hints she had been dropping.

But despite that, Lila had always been polite toward her.

Margaret had interpreted Lila's tolerance and devotion to the house as an attempt to please Dorian.

Although Margaret had heard about their breakup, she still didn't believe it. She thought it was just one of Lila's tactics.

Margaret looked at her with disdain. "You really think I don't know what game you're playing? We're both women, and your little trick might fool Dorian, but it won't fool me!

"I don't know how you found out I'd be here today, but I'll be clear since we've crossed paths. You've definitely outdone yourself by getting with Dorian.

"But, considering you've been by his side all these years, even if you haven't made any contributions, you've at least suffered.

"If you stay humble, like before, and keep your head low when you're with our family, I won't stop you from coming back. Do you understand?"

Dorian was now an award-winning actor with endless resources and a bright future.

For a man to remember his old love after becoming successful could only be considered a stroke of luck for Lila.

But Dorian wasn't her biological son. If he were, she would never allow someone without a background like Lila to enter the Blake family.
