Chapter 76
Seeing that Dorian wasn't coming out, the reporters standing outside started knocking on his car door. From the
inside, Dorian could hear their muffled
questions.
"Mr. Blake, there's a rumor circulating that you're dating your former agent, Lila Hart. Is that true?"
"Is Ms. Hart confirmed to have officially left your team? Did the two of you break up? Why?"
"You gave Zara Hayes the sandalwood bracelet you wore at the Spectra Awards. Does that mean you admit to
dating her? Have you broken up with Lila Hart? Was it because you cheated on her?"
The bombarding questions grew more direct, each sharper than the last. After a moment, Dorian took a deep
breath and calmed his emotions before opening the car door.
When he stepped out, the reporters’ questioning grew more intense.

"Mr. Blake, is it true that Ms. Hart was with you from your humble beginnings until your rise as a screen legend?"
"Why hadn't you made your relationship public?"
"Did the two of you break up? There's a rumor that Lila Hart has left your team. Is that true? Did you part on
good terms?"
Dorian tried his best to look composed and forced a fake smile. "Calm down, everyone. My private matters have
indeed taken up the recent headlines. My original plan was to resolve everything before explaining it to the fans
and media outlets.
"I didn't expect things to get so out of hand, so I'm here to briefly explain myself today."
A reporter threw a question forward. "Could you tell us if you've parted on good terms with Lila?"
Several microphones were immediately pushed toward Dorian. He glanced at them and answered calmly, "Lila is
still with Nexus Entertainment and is managing two new talents. This is a well-known fact in the company."
His words were slightly misleading. It didn't sound like they'd fallen out. After all, he was under Nexus
Entertainment, and Lila was still there too.
Someone sensed something amiss with his words. "Lila had always been part of your team, so why did the
company suddenly assign her to manage new talents?"
Dorian looked up with no noticeable emotions on his face. "It's a company decision. We're all just employees,
and there's nothing more to say about that."
There was nothing wrong with his response, so the reporters switched the topic. "So is it true that you were
dating Lila?"
"It's true. We were dating all along." No one had expected Dorian to answer so frankly. His love life had been the
biggest buzz lately.
Before anyone could ask another question, Dorian explained, "We didn't make it public due to work, but we
didn't expect others to make such a big deal of it just because Lila temporarily took over other company
matters."
Once a lie was told, spinning the rest of the story to sound convincing was easy. This was the case for Dorian,
who straightened up with confidence.
His words were flawless, and the company wouldn't expose his lies either. Once he got back with Lila, all the

"Of course, | have to take responsibility for what happened too. Lila was relocated to a different team because
there were conflicts between us. The company was worried it'd affect my work and that those with ulterior
motives would exploit the situation."
The explanation only sparked more curiosity. The reporters exchanged knowing glances and sharply sensed
there was an underlying story behind his words.
Immediately, someone asked, "Mr. Blake, did your conflict with Lila start because you gave the bracelet to Zara?"
Dorian was slightly stunned by the question. His gaze swept over the reporter briefly before he responded with
feigned nonchalance, "Yes, it's related to that. | mentioned that | knew Zara since we were kids-"
But it was clear that the reporters weren't interested in his explanation.
Someone interrupted him and pressed on. "Did you know it was a destiny bracelet found only on Mount Shasta?
You've never taken it off throughout your career. Was it a gift from Lila?"
Dorian held back his frustration and kept his expression composed. "Yes, Lila gave it to me. | didn't know there
was a deeper meaning to the bracelet, which was why she misunderstood. That's why we had the conflict."
The reporter continued bombarding him with questions. "So have the two of you broken up?"
