Chapter 100
Lila stepped out of the dressing room awkwardly, but Nicole had already gathered her emotions and exclaimed,
"| told you! You're the most beautiful little princess in the world."
The dress was short, falling just above her knees, and a lovely sheer skirt flowed beautifully.
Lila was naturally slender, and this dress accentuated her tiny waist, fair arms, and lightly blushing face, making
her look like a princess straight out of a fairy tale.
Even the sales assistant couldn't help but genuinely compliment her, "You look stunning in that dress, miss."
Although the dress wasn't the latest style and had been tried on by many before, this was the first tit fit
someone so perfectly.
Lila hadn't even had the chance to ask if it was too cute before Nicole declared, "Alright, let's buy it. Go change
into your own clothes, and I'll head to the front to pay."
Nicole didn't leave her any room to refuse.
Lila took a last look in the mirror. The dress was certainly beautiful, but she worried that the soft pink might be
too childish to wear out in public. She scratched her head and changed back into her clothes.

Not wanting to shop any longer, Nicole suggested they sit down to eat.
"There's a new restaurant over on South Street. I've heard the food is good, and since you're usually on set and
don't eat well, you've lost sweight. Make sure to eat a lot today."
Nicole added, "Kieran is quite busy, and your two brothers are temporarily abroad. How about | have the
household staff send you meals from now on?"
Lila, who had been quietly listening, quickly declined. "It's too far away; going back and forth is a hassle. I'll
probably be wrapped up in filming for over a month."
Nicole nodded, then asked, "So, how are things going with Dorian?"
Lila paused. With everything happening lately, she hadn't had a chance to explain the situation to her family.
"You two have been together for a while now, and your careers seem stable. Have you thought about getting
married?"
At this question, Lila suddenly found herself at a loss for words.
Nicole would likely worry again if Lila told her about her breakup now. She was heading back to the film set later
today and didn't have tfor a proper explanation. It would be better to wait until things calmed down before
finding a suitable tto discuss it with her family.
She replied vaguely, "It's been really busy lately. Let's wait a bit before discussing it."
As they spoke, they arrived at the restaurant. Lila quickly shifted the topic, asking, "Is Uncle Alfredo and Noah
coming back soon?"
Nicole nodded. "Alfredo will be late, but that scoundrel Noah mentioned he'd probably be back in about half a
month."
Thinking about Noah gave her a headache.
The previous generation of the Morgan family had three children-Jasiah Morgan, Alfredo Morgan, and Kieran—
each one more successful than the last, especially Kieran, who had taken Morgan Group to new heights.
Bryce Morgan, Lila, and Noah were among the younger generations of the Morgan family. All three were raised
under Nicole's care, yet despite her efforts, Noah turned out to be such a disappointment.
Seeing the troubled expression on her face, Lila couldn't help but smile. "Aunt Nicole, it's not that Noah isn't
interested in business. He's just doing well in his chosen field."
Nicole said, "I've learned a bit about esports these past few years, but he's at an age where he should be

As Lila was about to defend Noah, she saw Zara stepping out of a nearby car.
Zara wore a stunning white designer gown. Her lengthy hair was softly curled, and a light-colored hairpin was
tucked on one side. She looked pure and delicate, effortlessly evoking a protective instinct in men.
Moments later, Dorian stepped out from the other side of the car. In her high heels, Zara walked over and
affectionately linked her arm with his, gazing up at him with unmistakable admiration as she chatted away.
Not many men could withstand such a look.
Dorian's earlier cold demeanor softened into a faint smile as he responded to her.
Lila would have been tempted to commend their stunning match if she didn't know them personally.
She intentionally walked half a step ahead of Nicole to block her view.
However, as she lowered her gaze, the sarcasm in her eyes was unmistakable.
So, was this what Dorian meant by letting Zara go?
Zara seemed to say something, and he lifted his gaze in their direction.
