MainNovelChapter 113
Teddy couldn't sit still and jumped to his feet. "Wait, you're serious about this? This marriage arrangement is out
of the question!"
Jamie looked up with a sly grin. "Teddy, your opinion regarding Ms. Hart doesn't matter."
"What do you mean it doesn't matter?" He protested. "Ms. Hart is basically my sister now, which makesthe
brother-in-law! And as the brother-in-law, | object to this marriage!"
Lila sighed and pinched her forehead. "Let's put this aside for now. What's important right now is your career.
Because of me, Dorian has already started restricting your opportunities. From now on, anytthe company
reaches out to you, make sure to record the conversations and save all chat logs.
"If the company isn't colluding with Dorian, you can wait until your contracts naturally expire before leaving. But
if they unfairly limit your development, we'll definitely need to take action. In that case, whether you pay
penalties or how much you pay would beca matter of negotiation."
The two nodded obediently, understanding the importance of protecting themselves. They wouldn't let
themselves be easily manipulated.

As for Jamie's suggestion of introducing her brother, Lila didn't dwell on it. Whether she was acting out of anger
toward Dorian or was serious about it didn't matter. Most importantly, Lila didn't have the energy to think about
starting a new relationship.
The next two days passed quietly, with Lila busy managing affairs on set. She didn't see Jamie or Teddy during
that time.
On the surface, everything seemed calm, as if the situation had stopped after the live stream. Dorian also
appeared to have no intention of pursuing the matter further. However, she didn't believe her conflict with him
would end so quietly. He was no longer the mild-mannered, humble person he used to be. He was ambitious and
arrogant, acting as if everyone should revolve around him.
Taking advantage of a break on set, she grabbed her camera and visited Nexus Entertainment's production
team.
Teddy was filming a scene, so Jamie sat with Lila, watching him from afar. What was meant to be a rare, peaceful
moment was soon disrupted by nearby gossip.
"There's been a lot of buzz online about Lila and Dorian breaking ties. That live stream pretty much confirmed
it."
Someone replied, "Yeah, Dorian's fans have been attacking Lila nonstop. Her social media is flooded with hate."
"Well, she kind of asked for it. Did you hear what she said during the live stream? She practically branded Dorian
as unfaithful. Of course, his fans aren't going to take that lightly."
One woman sighed. "But Dorian denying he knew about the bracelet doesn't really count as cheating, does it?
He even publicly confessed to her and gave her plenty of dignity. She didn't need to be so stubborn."
Another girl snickered, "Do you really think she doesn't want to reconcile? Look at what she said that day. She's
full of herself, believing he owes her everything because she helped him rise to fame.
"She's just gotten greedy, thinking she made him a superstar, and now he should worship her."
The woman who had been quiet finally spoke. "She's ungrateful. She had such a great man like Dorian but didn't
cherish him. She brought this on herself."
"Exactly. If | were Dorian, | wouldn't take her back either. Who'd want someone who stabs them in the back? He's
too sentimental. He let his feelings blind him!"
Jamie glanced at Lila, who remained composed and unbothered as if she hadn't heard a word. Clearly, these
people weren't being discreet. They wanted her to hear every bit of their conversation.

It was infuriating.
Jamie stood abruptly, but Lila, who was calm the whole time, reached out and pressed her back down.
Jamie was forced to sit down again and blinked. "What?"
"Just ignore them."
"Ms. Hart, they're obviously doing it on purpose."
"I know, but they're not wrong. Dorian and I really did fall out, and that's why we broke up."
Jamie fumed. "But, he did cheat on you. How is that your fault?"
Lila lowered her gaze. She wanted to explain that with Dorian's current popularity, many people saw him as
flawless.
However, all she said was, "You have another scene later. Review your lines. I'm going to the restroom. Once
you're done, we'll go out for lunch."
Jamie nodded reluctantly, though her mind was racing. She couldn't let the rumors continue spreading
unchecked.
