too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 277

Shannon had experienced her fair share of trials and storms, unlike Darcy, who was easily provoked by a few words.

She still smiled, but the contempt in her eyes was unmistakable.

"Aren't you curious why Mrs. Morgan Senior dotes on you so much?" Shannon asked with a hint of disdain.

"She's more concerned about you than she is about her grandson, Noah. And then there's Nicole and her husband. Why are they so kind to you as well?

"Lila, do you really believe there's such a thing as unconditional love in this world?"

The mocking smile on her lips widened as she finished her words.

Lila glanced at her coldly. "What? You think the matter with Dorian doesn't affect me, and now you're trying to stir trouble between me and the Morgan family?

"You're not suggesting that my parents' deaths are somehow linked to the Morgan family, are you?"

Shannon raised an eyebrow as if to say, "You're smarter than I thought."

She was about to continue, but Lila suddenly laughed.

However, there wasn't any hint of warmth in her eyes.

It was as if the surrounding air had frozen, and her gaze cut through the room like a gust of frigid wind, chilling others to the bone.

"Stop with these useless tricks. Compared to what Dorian did to me, these aren't worth mentioning. If you want to know how to hurt me, you might want to get his advice."

Her gaze turned icy. "But as for matters involving the Morgan family, it's not your place to interfere."

As Lila turned to leave, Shannon's ominous voice came from behind.

"You think Kieran really cares about you that much?

"He's never been one to show mercy. If he says he's helping you, he only took a project from Bolton Group.

"Sure, a few shares were lost. But do you really think that would have much of an impact on us?"

Lila was about to turn around when someone blocked her path.

Vince pressed his hand against the back of her head. "Don't mind her."

He then turned to face Shannon, his eyes giving off a gentle yet disarming warmth. "If you really didn't care about Bolton Group's stock price drop, would you have gone through all this trouble to come here?"
