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

Faith lowered her gaze. Her eyes were filled with determination when she looked

up again. "Our mother-daughter relationship ends here."

Beatrice felt her heart drop. She looked at Faith in disbelief. "You're cutting ties

with me?"

"Yes, I'm cutting ties with you," Faith muttered. "Not just with you, but also with

Dennis and everyone in the Moore family."

"Aren't you after Moore Group?" Beatrice's throat went dry, and she couldn't

believe her ears.

Her obedient daughter, who always sought her love and approval, was now

severing their relationship.

"Yes." Faith nodded. "Moore Group is mine for the taking. It was rightfully mine all

along. Everyone knows that Moore Group wouldn't be where it is today without

me."

Faith bent down, picked up the handbag that had fallen on the floor, and handed it

back to Beatrice.

Her lower back was still in pain and she nearly broke out in cold sweat.

Beatrice's hands trembled as she took the bag, yet she still tried to maintain thenoveldrama

authority of a mother. "You're being reckless. I'll wait for you to calm down, and

then we'll talk again."

Without giving Faith any chance to respond, she continued, "Your father has

already brought that bastard child back. You need to find a way to deal with him."

After saying this, Beatrice glanced at Faith's indifferent expression, feeling a wave

of unease. She clutched her handbag and quickly left.

Faith didn't stay much longer and also walked out.

...

It was lunchtime at the film set.

Michael nudged Amelia. "What did you say to Lila earlier? She's been distracted

during her free time."

"Nothing much. I just told her that the Moore family might take action soon and

that she should be careful." Amelia observed Michael, whose face was thick with

makeup for his role, and whose hair had been cut short. His entire demeanor now

appeared more rugged and resolute.

"You know, you actually look pretty good like this," Amelia teased.

"Don't change the subject. Why did you tell her about the Moore family? You just

made her worry more." Michael clicked his tongue.

"I just wanted to warn her to be cautious. Those people never play fair." Amelia

frowned.

"Look over there." Michael gestured toward two men standing nearby. "Those are

the bodyguards Mr. Morgan hired."

"Having bodyguards doesn't mean she can let her guard down. Even with them or

us around, there will always be blind spots." Amelia sighed.

Michael knew she had a point, but seeing Lila distracted made him uneasy.

Before he could say anything else, Lila set down her spoon. "You two can stop

whispering. What exactly can the Moore family do?

"I've thought about it, and having

them come after me wouldn't make

any sense. I have nothing to do with

Morgan Group's business. And.

hurting me would only provoke

Kieran. What would they gain from

that?"

She frowned. "Instead of wasting their energy on me, wouldn't it be smarter for

them to focus on getting on Kieran's good side?"

The more she thought about it, the

less she understood. It wasn't as if

they would threaten Kieran using her

safety, right? If that were their plan,

then the Moore family was out of

their mind.

Amelia and Michael both shook their

heads. They couldn't comprehend

this outdated way of handling

things. There were laws set in place.

Why were these people still acting

like criminals?

After they finished eating, the three sat, lost in thought.

Just then, an assistant ran over. "Ms. Hart, someone is here to see you."

Lila looked up. "Me? Did they say who they were?"

"The person didn't say, but he's tall and quite good-looking. But he isn't from the

industry. I don't recognize him," the assistant replied.

Lila thought for a moment. "Bring him over."

The assistant nodded and turned to fetch the visitor.
