too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 50

Ethan advised Dorian, "Mr. Blake, how about I recheck Mr. Vince's schedule? You could try to intercept him and ask why it has to be Lila!

"Or we could have Nexus Entertainment's higher-ups step in and send someone more experienced over. Lane Group might agree to continue the collaboration. What do you think?"

The latter suggestion only added fuel to the fire.

To outsiders, it seemed that Dorian had taken on this project as a means of a career shift, but only he and Lila knew that that was merely an excuse.

The ultimate goal was to free himself from Nexus Entertainment's control.

He had let Lila take full charge of the matter because she was entirely on his side.

Now that success was within reach, involving Nexus Entertainment at this stage would render all his previous efforts completely futile.

Dorian slammed his fist onto the car, instantly tearing the skin on the back of his hand. Bright red blood splattered to the ground, blooming like a vivid flower.

His eyes were fierce, and his face darkened.

"Lila, why couldn't you just behave a little more?" he thought.

Ethan had never seen him so furious. He was terrified, breaking out in a cold sweat. "Mr. Blake…"

He took a deep breath, his gaze landing on the bloodstains on the car. In a panic, he grabbed a first aid kit from inside the vehicle to treat Dorian's wound.

Before he could even reach him, Dorian knocked it away. "Get away!"

He stood under the sun, its rays scorching his skin, causing a painful burn.

Ethan quietly picked up the items, intending to suggest that he return first. But when he looked up, he saw the usually proud man with bloodshot eyes.

It was hard to tell whether he was frustrated about the project or furious about Lila being with another man.

Ethan opened his mouth but ended up saying nothing.

They kept waiting outside the restaurant.
