too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 332

Amelia was picked up after the Joyce family's driver arrived, and Teddy was sent home. Vince's driver had yet to arrive, so the rest of the group stood by, waiting.

Lila stood a little farther forward, the clearest-headed among them, watching for the car's arrival.

"Lila, don't..." Before Terry could finish his warning, a car suddenly sped toward them. A loud crash startled everyone, instantly sobering them.

"Ms. Hart!" Jamie cried out.

They watched as Terry shielded Lila, both of them tumbling to the side. In a panic, everyone rushed over. Vince's voice was urgent. "Are you guys alright?"

The car had slammed into a nearby pillar, and smoke was beginning to rise from the front.

Everyone hurried to help Lila and Terry up.

"Jamie, hurry and call the police. Let's stay back," Vince ordered, gently pulling Lila aside. "Are you hurt?"

"Terry, are you alright?" Yelena, who was teary-eyed, helped Terry walk away. "You're bleeding from your forehead. Why did you rush over? You could have been killed!"

Terry felt the warmth of blood trickling down his forehead, the pain stiffening his expression. He asked, "Is Lila okay?"

She cried harder. "Look at you! How can you still care about someone else? She's fine. Someone's looking after her."

She glanced at Lila, who was carefully set down by Vince, anger flaring in her chest. She recognized him as the young, talented president of the Lane Group, often making headlines in business news.

"Ms. Hart, are you okay?" Jamie asked, his face filled with concern.

Still dizzy from hitting the back of her head, Lila was just starting to feel better when she heard Yelena's words.

As she tried to apologize, her gaze fell on Michael, who was hurrying over. He looked at Lila and then at the car that had been wrecked and was still smoking before asking, "Lila, are you alright?"
