Although Teddy didn't fully understand the situation, his subsequent comments were like a struggling student answering a question, somehow managing to piece together a response with his flawed logic.
For the first time, Jamie felt like applauding this silly brother of hers.
Dorian's expression was horrid.
Had Teddy's and Lila's relationship improved so much in just a few days?
A newcomer dared to offend him for her?
He cast a cold, menacing glance at the two, causing Darcy nearby to flinch under the oppressive atmosphere.
"There's no need to involve others in our matters." Lila stepped forward, positioning herself in front of them.
Dorian scoffed, about to retort when Zara's assistant rushed over in a panic. "Not good, Mr. Blake! Zara just fell!"
He frowned slightly, a hint of suspicion flashing in his eyes.
Was it a coincidence, or did something always happen to interrupt him whenever he tried to speak with Lila?
"What happened?" Darcy yelled first before turning to Lila with a dark expression. "Did you do something?"
"No! Lila has been standing here since she arrived. You saw that, didn't you? If you don't need your eyes, donate them to someone who does. At least you'll accumulate good karma and maybe have a smarter brain in your next life!" Jamie retorted.
What kind of person was this?
Teddy wanted to applaud Jamie's incredible talent for comebacks!
Darcy's words dispelled Dorian's lingering doubts, and his brows furrowed even deeper.
His gaze landed on Lila. "Fine, I can avoid involving others, but you need to tone down your temper, come back to me, and don't target Zara anymore. This is the last time!"
Her expression darkened, and a cold smile tugged at her lips.
Dorian didn't look at her anymore and shifted his gaze to the boxes. "I'll give you two days to think it over. Don't let me down again."
He then turned and strode away.
