too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 348

"That's odd. Didn't Mr. Morgan say he was going to marry Lila?" One person paused, then suddenly gasped. "Oh my, could it be that he's already seeing another woman before their marriage?"

The group exchanged glances, and one couldn't help but say, "I always thought someone like Lila, with no background, would never make it into the Morgan family.

"I've never understood why Mr. Morgan was even interested in Lila."

"I think it's because the Morgan family adopted her. If a scandal about someone interfering in someone else's relationship were to break out, it could seriously damage the Morgan family's reputation if not handled properly."

The gossipers suddenly seemed to understand, and someone glanced up just in time to see Lila walking by. They immediately straightened up.

"Ms. Hart," one person said, reminding the others.

The rest quickly put on awkward smiles and greeted her.

After all, she was now part of the Morgan family, and Kieran hadn't called off their engagement yet.

It wouldn't benefit anyone to offend her.

Everyone felt a little uneasy.

Lila's gaze lingered on them briefly, but didn't say anything. She curled her fingers and continued walking forward.

What they said was all true. So what was there to be angry about?

The group exchanged glances, and one person quietly asked, "Do you think she'll get back at us later?"

…

Meanwhile, Lila had lost her mood entirely and went to sit at a nearby lounge.

Outside the window, cars filled the roads, the world bustling with life, but it couldn't fill the emptiness and the sense of detachment she felt deep inside.

She wasn't sure how long she had been sitting when Cedric walked over with two other people.

"Lila? Why didn't you go in and take a look?"

Lila noticed one of the people behind him. It was the bartender from the bar yesterday.

Cedric quickly introduced them, and the two men greeted her respectfully.

After she acknowledged them with a nod, Cedric chuckled. "Your taste is impeccable. I'll take them for a tour now, and we can talk about the rest later."
