too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 260

Upstairs, Nicole and Amelie heard the commotion below and came down to investigate.

Amelie's expression turned somewhat stern upon seeing so many people surrounding Lila.

"What is going on here?" Although she was old, her voice still carried an air of authority.

The waiter had already played the recording of Lila and Dorian's conversation. Hearing Lila's firm refusal, no one dared to look up.

Everyone started regretting their actions. The wealthy lady who had spoken first was now sweating nervously.

Why did she have to open her mouth?

Amelie understood the situation now and sneered. "It seems that none of you were listening when I spoke at the start of the banquet.

"Lila is a member of our family, and naturally, she is under our protection.

"This little farce today will be thoroughly investigated. We will hold anyone involved in it fully accountable!"

Lila caught a glimpse of Shannon, whose expression had stiffened briefly.

Shannon seemed bright, but how could her actions be so thoughtless?

Did she really dare to take matters into her own hands like this?

But this had nothing to do with Lila. She wasn't about to play the hero.

After all, she was being framed here.

Some people who had previously speculated that Kieran was with Lila because of Amelie's influence became even more convinced now.

Amelie was indeed protective of Lila.

Once the crowd dispersed, Amelie angrily hit the ground with her cane and scolded Kieran. "Is this how you protect Lila?"

He lowered his head. It was indeed his oversight today.

Lila quickly explained, "Grandma, this has nothing to do with Uncle Kieran. I just happened to run into Dorian, and he stopped me to talk.

"I didn't expect it to be misunderstood. The recording just now was brought by Uncle Kieran's people, or else I would have been wrongly accused."

He looked up at her, his expression noticeably gentler.

Amelie gave him a nonchalant glance, but when she looked at Lila, she appeared much happier.

Kieran truly had feelings for Lila.

Her greatest wish was for Lila to have a promising future.
