Lila knew she'd been through tough times, but Dorian's first question stunned her for a second.
Amelia, who usually had a good temper, started feeling angry. "This is her matter. Whether she tells you is her right. What gives you the right to criticize her?"
Dorian glanced at her coldly. "Ms. Joyce, this is between me and Lila. It has nothing to do with you."
Amelia stood up straight, her expression serious, and her aura shifted. "Lila and I are friends. Her business is my business."
Upon seeing Amelia riled up, Lila gently pinched her arm to comfort her. "I can handle this. You go help over there." Amelia wanted to refuse, but Lila added, "I'll be over in ten minutes."
With Lila insisting, Amelia had no choice but to leave, though she kept glancing back as she walked.
She then called over Ethan, Teddy, and Jamie. The four of them didn't do anything; they stood not far away, watching Dorian like hawks.
"If that bastard makes a scene, Teddy, you go over and take him down with one kick," Amelia whispered.
Teddy nodded, but they couldn't hear Lila and Dorian's words because they were standing a bit far off.
Dorian lowered his head, looking somewhat aggrieved. "Lila, I'm not questioning you. It's just that after being together for so many years, there's so much about you that I didn't know.
"Lately, I've even started to doubt if you really loved me. Why would you hide so many things from me if you did?"
Lila always thought she could face Dorian and everything related to him with complete indifference. However, upon hearing these words, she couldn't help but feel a surge of confusion. Her head was full of questions.
