Lila acted as though she didn't notice Margaret's fury radiating off of her.
She looked innocent and said, "Could it be that those elite women didn't invite you because they felt your status
was so noble that they were too embarrassed to ask?"
Margaret looked as if she had been struck in the chest, but she still made an effort to maintain her poised
demeanor.
"You... You lowly woman! How dare you speak to my mother like that!" Darcy said through gritted teeth. "Did you
ever think about what would happen when you made Ms. Parker stop teaching me? Did you ever think about why
you got kicked out of Nexus Entertainment? Karma is real. Just wait, you'll die starving in salley!"
Lila looked at her, surprised by how quickly they had gotten the information.
Her gaze becslightly appraising, and her look carried a certain implication that made Darcy and Margaret
uneasy.
Margaret had often made things difficult for Lila, either intentionally or unintentionally.
She was sure that Lila, being as calculating as she was, couldn't have missed the hints she had been dropping.

Margaret had interpreted Lila's tolerance and devotion to the house as an attempt to please Dorian.
Although Margaret had heard about their breakup, she still didn't believe it. She thought it was just one of Lila's
tactics.
Margaret looked at her with disdain. "You really think | don't know what gyou're playing? We're both women,
and your little trick might fool Dorian, but it won't fool me!
"I don't know how you found out I'd be here today, but I'll be clear since we've crossed paths. You've definitely
outdone yourself by getting with Dorian.
"But, considering you've been by his side all these years, even if you haven't made any contributions, you've at
least suffered.
"If you stay humble, like before, and keep your head low when you're with our family, | won't stop you from
coming back. Do you understand?"
Dorian was now an award-winning actor with endless resources and a bright future.
For a man to remember his old love after becoming successful could only be considered a stroke of luck for Lila.
But Dorian wasn't her biological son. If he were, she would never allow someone without a background like Lila
to enter the Blake family.
However, Margaret's expectation that Lila would be moved and obedient did not happen. Instead, Lila's eyes,
which hinted at sarcasm, grew even more mocking.
Lila said with a tone of irony, "Mrs. Blake, I've already broken up with Dorian. We're strangers now, just like you
and me."
To avoid causing trouble for Dorian, Lila had always been polite and accommodating to everyone in the Blake
family, constantly tolerating their behavior.
Yet, despite all her efforts, she had never received a kind word from Margaret or Darcy.
In their eyes, she was nothing but an orphan, a lowly assistant manager who could never be good enough for
Dorian.
In the eyes of the Blake family, her upbringing made her a soft target that could be manipulated at will.
Lila scoffed and said, "Here's sadvice for you, Mrs. Blake. Try not to speak so harshly.
"Most high-class ladies cfrom scholarly families, and they emphasize proper etiquette."
After saying that, she walked away.

Margaret stood frozen, slowly realizing what had just been said. "What did she just say? Who does she think she
is to speak tolike that?"
She grabbed Darcy's arm so tightly that she nearly twisted a chunk of his skin off.
Darcy yelped in pain. "Mom, she said she and Dorian are strangers now! Letgo. Didn't we chere to talk
business with him?"
She quickly yanked her arm away, fearing that his arm might be seriously hurt.
Margaret took a deep breath, suppressing the rage boiling inside her. She then adjusted her designer handbag
and strode toward the studio.
At that moment, Dorian had no scenes to film and was sitting in the lounge, looking out the window at Lila.
She was talking to Jamie, looking relaxed. Whatever she said seemed to amuse
both of them, and Teddy soon cover to join the conversation.
After a few words, their laughter beceven more evident.
Dorian narrowed his eyes, a coldness flickering in his gaze. Lila was always so good at seducing people.
