Chapter 139
Afterward, Vince found himself unconsciously paying attention to the news about the adopted daughter of the
Morgan family.
He knew that Lila had excelled in high school and that she and Noah shared a close relationship. He knew she
had been accepted into the best film university and had pursued her passion for directing.
He also knew that she had fallen in love. It was only when he learned this that Vince realized how much attention
he had been giving to Lila.
He began deliberately avoiding news about her. During that time, he suffered from sleepless nights.
Slowly, life returned to its normal rhythm. Hand work bechis two fixed points. He buried himself in
heavy work, trying to numb the loneliness gnawing at him.
He thought that Lila had long been forgotten in his mind. But then, not long ago, he cacross news of Lila
and Dorian breaking up and discovered that his sister, Jamie's agent, was none other than Lila.
At that moment, Vince found it difficult to put his feelings into words. Now, she stood before him, and following
her line of sight, he saw a man walking toward them.
The man had broad shoulders and a narrow waist-a classic physique. His well- tailored suit made his already
impressive height even more striking.

Kieran had subdued sof his aura, and though he wasn't as imposing as when he first entered, his presence
still commanded attention.
People couldn't help but notice him.
He looked up at Lila, his expression calm, his gaze as cold as usual but with a trace of warmth buried deep.
"Mr. Morgan," Vince spoke quickly.
The man nodded slightly, his gaze falling on the girl behind him.
Vince paused for a moment before quickly picking up on the situation. "Mr. Morgan, | still need to check on a few
things downstairs. Please feel free to take your time."
He turned back to Lila. "Lila, there's a lounge over there. Could you please helpshow Mr. Morgan the way?
Thank you."
She nodded politely. "Sure, You go ahead."
Vince nodded before leaving them. Once he was out of earshot, Lila's smile beceven sweeter. "Uncle
Kieran."
Kieran took a few long strides and was soon standing before her. "Tired?"
She shook her head. "I had a few glasses of sweet wine earlier, so I'm a bit dizzy, but | feel better now.
"Uncle Kieran, look at that person." Lila stood by the railing and pointed down to someone below.
Kieran glanced down. "Joyce Group's CEO. His company, Citrus Media, has been growing rapidly in the domestic
market these past two years.
"I heard they've secured several major projects recently. Are you interested in that?"
He had guessed right away, and Lila wasn't surprised. She knew exactly how sharp Kieran was.
She nodded. "But Nexus Entertainment and Citrus Media have always competed. Since I'm with Nexus
Entertainment now, it wouldn't be appropriate forto approach him."
She frowned slightly, looking a little troubled. "If I miss this opportunity today, | probably won't get another
chance to meet him."
Lila leaned on the railing, deep in thought. For a moment, she couldn't think of a better solution.
She thought to herself, "I should've worked harder to earn money back then." She might have broken her
contract by now and wouldn't be bound by Nexus Entertainment.
Kieran lowered his gaze and glanced at the exposed skin on the girl's legs, which were smooth and fair, visible
from the slit in her skirt.
He subtly shifted his body to block her; then, he pulled out a VIP invitation from Magi Pictures.
Lila caught sight of the red envelope. She looked puzzled, but when she saw the words 'Magi Pictures' on the
invitation, her troubled gaze instantly shifted to one of joy.

"Uncle Kieran, you're a savior!"
As she raised her eyes, Kieran's gaze met hers, mirroring her reflection.
Kieran's fingers, hanging by his side, moved slightly as though he wanted to tuck a loose strand of hair behind
her ear. However, he hesitated and didn't make the move. In his heart, he thought, "I'm not a savior. I'm just
your—"
As he realized what he had been thinking, his gaze deepened. He quickly turned away from Lila's eyes, not
allowing himself to think any further.
On the venue's first floor, Dorian was in a foul mood after being rejected. He tugged at his tie in frustration.
Just then, his eyes swept over to the second-floor railing and landed on a familiar figure.
He looked up and saw Lila and Kieran together. The man, with his eyes slightly lowered, was handing her a red
object that looked like an invitation.
Lila had her back to him, so he couldn't see her expression clearly. However,
based on her body language, she was obviously happy.
Dorian suddenly recalled something Lila had said to him earlier.
"Look, isn't that person who just entered a better choice?"
Dorian clenched his fists, his knuckles turning pale from the force. When did Lila
get involved with Kieran?
