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

Matthew lowered his head and didn't dare to meet Lila's gaze. She turned to look at Ethan. "Tell me. Who did this to him and why?"

Ethan got up, but he was pulled away by Matthew.

"What's the use of enduring this? If you say anything, they'll think you're an easy target." Ethan glanced at Matthew.

"It's Hailey Sullivan, an artist agent of Thousands Entertainment."

Lila narrowed her gaze. "Is she the one who spoke to you previously?"

Matthew nodded.

"What's the reason?"

Matthew pursed his lips. It seemed that he couldn't talk about it.

Lila turned to look at Ethan again. "What happened?"

"She has taken a fancy to Matthew and wants to force him to be in a relationship with her. Because he refused, she kept troubling him behind the program crew's back."

Ethan and Lila both frowned. Lila looked terrifying when she asked, "Why didn't you tell me when I asked back then?"

With his head down, Matthew seemed diffident. "Back then, I thought she wouldn't dare to do anything since there were so many people in the program crew. Besides, you weren't in a good mood at that time. I didn't want to trouble you."

Matthew lowered his head. He looked as if he would crumble at any moment. He didn't expect Hailey to use force. He didn't expect her to call people to beat him up after he had resisted.

Lila took a deep breath. "Matthew, I'll only say this once. You're Magi Pictures' artist. You're under me. There is absolutely no reason to endure this for no reason."

If it were some minor matter, it could be endured. However, Hailey used force and beat Matthew up. Did she think the country didn't have laws?

Lila turned around to leave. Ethan knew she was angry. Afraid that she would act on impulse, he stopped treating Matthew's wounds and went after her.

"Ms. Hart, calm down. We can report this matter to the police. Let's wait for the police to deal with this." Ethan stopped Lila.

However, ita ignored him and

continued to walk out. Hailey must have bullied Matthew because Morgan Group wasn't steady. She must have thought that Morgan Group was going to collapse.

Why were these people so eager to laugh at the Morgan family?

Ethan didn't dare to say anything else. He could only follow Lila out He decided to watch the situation first. Since the program crew was on break today, Lila asked a few staff, "Where's Hailey?"

The staff was frightened by Lila's cold gaze. They were stunned for a moment before responding, "She's in that house."

"Thank you."

Lila nodded and turned to walk toward that house. The houses in the countryside weren't soundproof. Before she entered, she could hear the conversation inside.

"Morgan Group is on the verge of collapse. Wouldn't following me be better than being one of their artists? How clueless!

"Don't worry. I only taught him a small lesson. I didn't hurt him too badly."

Lila stopped at the door and listened to Faith's contemptuous tone. Lila's expression turned colder.

Faith sneered over the phone. "This is how you train a man. After a

couple of lessons, he will be obedient. If it weren't for his appearance and my curiosity, I wouldn't even bother. noveldrama

"That's right. If I wanted a man, wouldn't they all come running to serve me? These young men are just stubborn. They're probably trying to raise their own value.

"If we're talking about handsome men, Kieran is definitely at the top. I wonder if I'l

have a chance once Morgan Group collapses."

Then, Lila kicked the door open with a loud bang.

"Are you out of your mind?" Faith frowned, clearly displeased.

"Are you Faith?" Lila narrowed her eyes. She stared at Faith coldly as if frost were about to form at the corners of her eyes.

Morgan Group was going to collapse? Faith wanted to train Lila's artists? Now, Faith was even eyeing Kieran.

The mere thought of someone like Faith eyeing Kieran made Lila sick. Facing Lila's overwhelming presence, Faith hadn't realized the severity of the situation.
