too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 230

Terry looked at Dorian with a strange, almost mocking expression, unable to suppress a laugh.

"If you want success and rise above, work for it then. If hurting others could make someone superior, murderers would be the wealthiest people by now! And there's something else you got wrong.

"Dorian, it's not that no one has your back. In this world, no one would sacrifice for you like Lila. You pushed away the people who would have had your back."

These words struck Dorian like a blow, causing the resentment in his heart to explode.

His eyes turned venomous. "Did you already know about Lila and Kieran?"

Terry didn't answer his question. "You'll never meet someone like Lila again. No matter your methods, you won't be able to win her back."

Like a wild animal, Dorian knocked everything off the table, the crash echoing through the empty room.

"I was with Lila for five years. How long has Kieran known her? No one can replace my place in her heart!"

Terry took a step back, his gaze filled with pity.

"Dorian, I advise you, if you still want to have any place in Lila's heart, stop doing anything further."

Dorian's eyes widened, bloodshot, filled with rage. "No! Lila is mine! She can only be mine!"

Terry stared at him briefly before speaking, his voice shaking slightly. "This is the end of our friendship. When you used me... as a pawn, the bond was severed."

His clenched fist trembled. It was clear he was suppressing his emotions.

With that, he turned and walked out.

"Terry, are you going to betray me too?" Dorian's voice was a low, desperate shout as Terry opened the door.

Terry didn't stop; his steps were firm as he walked away.

The only sign of his inner turmoil was the tight grip of his fist at his side.

The large room fell silent again. Dorian's face darkened with anger. He stood and left the office.
