Lila would never let Terry be put in an awkward position.
She smiled lightly and politely said, "Hello, Ms. Griffin. I'm Lila. I'd like to apologize again for causing Terry's serious injury. I'm truly sorry."
Yelena glanced at her and muttered, "Such a hypocrite."
Terry didn't hear her clearly and asked gently, "Yelena, what did you say?"
Yelena turned around with a soft expression. "I didn't say anything."
She appeared utterly harmless, and what Terry loved most about her was her pure, straightforward personality.
But the comment was aimed at Lila, and Lila had heard it.
Lila lowered her eyes slightly, choosing not to address it.
She decided to hold back.
Clearly, Yelena cared too much about Terry and simply asserted her claim. A young girl's thoughts weren't worth dwelling on.
After all, if someone had hurt Kieran, she probably wouldn't have been so kind to them either.
With that in mind, the awkwardness in Lila's heart eased, and she smiled again.
Her beauty was naturally captivating. She seemed as cold as snow without a smile, but with a smile, she was like winter snow melting into the warmth of spring.
Her lively eyes sparkled, and the corners of her lips lifted in an irresistibly charming way.
Yelena momentarily lost focus, but a stronger surge of disgust quickly replaced it.
No wonder men flocked around Lila—she must be a vixen who could charm anyone. She didn't even spare Terry, whose leg was broken.
Yelena asked while feigning innocence, "Did you come here by yourself today? I saw you with Mr. Lane and another man before. You all seemed to have a good relationship. Are they your boyfriends? Why aren't they with you?"
Lila could ignore Yelena's earlier hostility, but these questions made her frown in displeasure.
