too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 298

"As far as I'm concerned, I don't know you at all. That's why it's unnecessary for me to greet you in person," Lila refuted.

Pierre just shrugged nonchalantly. "Alright. If that's what you claimed, then so be it. Let's get to know each other now, then. I've admired you for quite some time now, Ms. Hart."

He extended a hand, seemingly to shake Lila's hand.

The event was about to begin. There were about 2,000 fans in the venue. Pierre's fans alone took up one-third of the space.

Many people could see Pierre, Terry, and Lila from where they stood. When Pierre glanced at the fans, he was rewarded with high-pitched screams instead.

"Oh my god! Pierre!"

"Pierre, we love you!"

After that, Pierre turned to look at Lila. His lips were already curled into a victorious smile.

Terry had always known that Pierre was an unpredictable man. What he didn't expect was that Pierre had the balls to act out in a public event.

To think that Pierre would stoop so low as to use his fans' influence just to force Lila to yield to him.

If Lila were to react negatively to Pierre's introduction, she'd most likely get branded as a rude or arrogant nobody by the media later in the afternoon.

Lila glanced at Pierre's hand momentarily. Then, she stuck out her hand and shook it once before retracting immediately.

"Pierre, she's different from your usual partners. You should know who she is. If Mr. Morgan finds out about this, do you really think he'll let it slide?

"Even if you don't give a damn about him, then what about your family? Don't you care about them?"

Pierre merely let out a soft chuckle after hearing Terry's response. His gaze remained glued on Lila's face the whole time.

"Mr. Morgan, eh?" Only then did Pierre avert his gaze. "It's one thing for outsiders to come up with these types of rumors, but how could you believe them as well?"

Terry just frowned in response. He had witnessed the way Kieran had looked at Lila in the past. There was no way Kieran would be able to fake the gentle and affectionate gaze.

Besides, Terry couldn't even imagine how anyone could possibly force someone as powerful as Kieran to fake his feelings for Lila.
