too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 229

After Kieran took Lila and left, Cole glanced indifferently at the man kneeling on the floor, then turned to speak to Terry.

"Mr. Jones, thank you for your help with Mrs. Morgan today. I heard Jones Group has been trying to buy land in Winas but hasn't found the right partner yet.

"Mr. Morgan mentioned his interest in your project on our way here. If Jones Group is open to collaboration, you can meet me at Morgan Group tomorrow at 9:00 am."

Cole spoke while handing over a business card. Terry was still processing the situation when the card was already in his hand; Morgan Group was offering to cooperate with them.

Countless prestigious companies nationwide would fight for the chance to work with Morgan Group. Many would give their all, but more was needed.

And here he was, receiving an opportunity to collaborate with Morgan Group without having done anything—or rather, just offering minimal help to Lila despite not knowing the full extent of her relationship with Kieran.

It was a major project in Winas and was worth billions.

He looked incredulously at the business card in his hand and then back at Cole. "This..."

"Mr. Jones, I have other matters to attend to," Cole said warmly, showing a hint of concern as an elder to a younger person. "I'll be waiting for you at Morgan Group tomorrow."

"Mr. Mason, I helped Lila because I consider her a friend. I had no idea about her relationship with Mr. Morgan, and I never intended to use this as leverage—"

Before he could finish his sentence, Cole interrupted with a gentle smile, his tone reassuring. "Mr. Jones, I understand what you're trying to say, but this collaboration is more than just thanking you for your generous help. Mr. Morgan also has a great interest in this project."

Terry pursed his lips, thought momentarily, and then replied solemnly, "Rest assured. Jones Group will not disappoint him."

Cole nodded, and just then, the police, whom he had called earlier, arrived. The troublemaker was taken away, and since Cole had reported the incident, he was also escorted by the man.

Terry squeezed the business card in his hand, called his people to ensure Kaden was being cared for in the hospital, and then drove to Nexus Entertainment.
