MainNovelChapter 22
Zara threw herself into Dorian's arms without a second thought once they were in the car. "Dorian, I'm so sorry!
It's all my fault.
"If I hadn't insisted on this role, you and Lila wouldn't be in such a deadlock, and you wouldn't have lost Taylor's
project. It's all my fault.
"Lila is right. It's my lack of ability that costthe part. | was there just to humiliate myself and drag you down
with me. Please scold me!"
Dorian held her, gently patting her back. His tone was soft, a stark contrast to the harsh words he had spoken
with Lila.
"It's all Lila's fault. It has nothing to do with you. She's deliberately targeting you. It's better not to act in this
movie.
"Lila has clearly bribed Samuel. Being around people who lack morals will only affect my work mood.
"Don't worry. I'll get back at her for the grievances you faced today."

Zara looked up at him, her eyes filled with admiration.
Then, her voice quivered, and she said, "But are you really going to make it public like Lila said? If you do, you
might really end up tearing your relationship apart."
Dorian let out a cold laugh. "Zara, you're too kind-hearted. You don't understand how cunning Lila is. Her
intentions are difficult to predict.
"The more you back down, the more she will take advantage of you. Since that's the case, | have no reason to
give her more chances.
"By making our situation public, she'll see my determination. She'll realize | won't indulge her unreasonable
antics any longer. Once everyone knows, no one will treat her kindly out of respect for me.
"At that point, she'll understand who she really owes everything to, and naturally, Lila will cback to me
obediently. I'll make sure she apologizes to you properly."
Zara felt pleased. But when she heard, "Naturally, Lila will cback toobediently," her mind went blank.
What did that mean? Dorian still wanted to be with Lila?
After Dorian left, both Lila and Cole maintained a calm demeanor, while Samuel's expression was somewhat
troubled. He wasn't familiar with Dorian but had heard plenty of rumors about him.
This great actor, who had been in the spotlight over the past two years, was generally regarded as having a cold
exterior but a warm heart. He was known for his tact and politeness.
However, today, his thoughts aligned with Cole's; the rumors about Dorian circulating weren't entirely accurate.
After hesitating, Samuel asked, "If this does get publicized, with so many fans, could it negatively impact you?
Was that a bit too impulsive just now?"
Cole also felt that this situation could bectroublesome. If a significant wave of negative public opinion arose,
even with the Morgan Group's intervention, it would be difficult to clean up the mess given the public's collective
voice.
This matter needed to be reported to Kieran immediately.
He thought briefly and said, "Mr. Grant, I've finished touring the set here. Just have someone calculate the
required funds, and once you draft the contract, you can contact me.
"Can | have a word with Ms. Hart privately?"

When Samuel heard they could calculate the funds, he smiled broadly. He didn't even notice what was said
afterward; he just agreed.
Lila followed Cole to a secluded spot. Cole tried to comfort her, "Ms. Hart, don't be upset. It's Dorian who doesn't
deserve you.
"As for the trouble he's causing, Mr. Morgan will take care of it for you. Just focus on your filming here."
Lila smiled. "Mr. Mason, | can handle this myself. There's no need to bother my uncle about it; he's busy enough
as it is. This tiny matter doesn't require his attention."
Cole paused momentarily, and then his gaze softened as he looked at her. How could Lila be so well-behaved
and understanding?
Lila felt a bit bewildered by his look.
"Ms. Hart, I've finished my business here. | need to head back to the company to report to Mr. Morgan. He should
cto pick you up later."
Lila nodded. She let out a slight sigh after watching him leave. She didn't feel at ease inside, even though she
spoke about it as if it were nothing just now.
She would need to consider how to handle the situation tomorrow.
