too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 213

Lila furrowed her brows as she scrolled through the comments. Her gaze was cold, and a layer of frost seemed to spread in her eyes, gradually releasing a chill.

She looked up at Amelia, who was visibly upset and anxious, clearly already aware of the online rumors.

"Looks like they're after you."

Lila nodded, understanding that the target of this whole issue had become crystal clear.

As for who was behind it, she had a faint idea forming in her mind.

"Get rid of Fletcher. Otherwise, this will keep escalating."

Seeing that Lila didn't respond immediately, Amelia quickly grasped what she meant.

"You're worried that if we fire him now, it'll look like we're guilty and we have something to hide?"

Sitting down on the couch, she sighed in frustration. "I should've stood my ground from the start. Now, both Fletcher and Joyce Group have issued clarifications, but it has yet to do any good. These fans are only seeing what they want to see.

"What I don't understand is who benefits from this scandal. Could it be that female artist?"

Lila set aside what she was holding, stood up, and walked over to the floor-to-ceiling window, staring at the towering buildings outside. She was silent for a long moment before speaking.

"I don't think it's her. If it were, even if she successfully broke the relationship, this scandal would likely ruin Fletcher. After all, which male star would dare to work with her in the future? At the very least, she wouldn't be the mastermind.

"Let's release all the audition tapes for Fletcher's role to prove that he earned his spot through his own talent. That way, we can clear up this scandal and avoid tarnishing both Joyce Group's and Lane Group's reputations.

"As for the drama and the suspicions about me and Fletcher, I'll think of a way to address it."

After hearing her plan, Amelia didn't waste any time. She immediately contacted the company staff to gather the audition footage and posted it online as quickly as possible. However, the video, just like Fletcher's clarification, didn't convince the fans.

They still insisted that Lila was trying to climb up by attaching herself to Fletcher, hoping to find another money tree. The online comments were full of insults, attacking her relentlessly.
