too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 74

Leonard began, "Mr. Morgan's request—"

Cole cut him off with a smile, saying, "Mr. Morgan will fully cover any losses incurred by the production."

Leonard's eyes widened in shock and confusion.

Cole continued with a hint of humor, "Mr. Lawson, can you not tell what Mr. Morgan's intentions are? Do you think he's out to get you?"

Leonard looked at Cole suspiciously. Wasn't that exactly what was happening right now?

With Lila getting injured on set, Leonard figured Kieran might be looking for someone to blame. As the director, Leonard would be the first in line.

Appearing to know Leonard's thoughts, Cole chuckled. "Do you see Mr. Morgan as someone unreasonable? Whoever's at fault needs to apologize. In which case, have you done anything wrong, Mr. Lawson?"

At this question, Leonard couldn't help but break into a cold sweat. If Kieran wanted to go after someone, did he really need a reason?

Cole spoke again. "Mr. Lawson, let me give you a hint. Do you really think Ms. Hayes could hurt Ms. Hart and still walk away as if nothing happened—continuing her dream of stardom?"

Leonard was stunned but quickly understood. Kieran wasn't making things difficult for him. He was practically a lifesaver coming to Leonard's rescue.

If Kieran had quietly dealt with Zara, then Leonard would really be in trouble later.

Kieran hadn't just sent someone to warn him, but he also offered to cover all the losses.

With newfound gratitude, Leonard felt the urge to drop to his knees in thanks. "Thank you, Mr. Mason, and please extend my gratitude to Mr. Morgan. I'll handle this matter properly."

Cole nodded and handed him a check. "And keep Ms. Hart out of it."

Leonard marveled at how dedicated Kieran was to his adopted niece. He went to such lengths just to stand up for her.
