MainNovelChapter 77
Dorian lowered his gaze to hide the anger and irritation that flashed in his eyes.
After a brief pause, he looked up again and forced a look of relaxation. "Yes, but we've been dating for years, and
I love her. I've started making amends, and | hope you can all bear witness."
He smiled with eyes full of gentleness and affection. "I will do everything | can to win her back."
Then, he pulled out a ring box from his pocket. All the cameras immediately zoomed in on it. A reporter audibly
gasped. "Is that a proposal ring? It's beautiful!"
"It's the signature ring from Loistte. That's super expensive!"
"Wow! | never expected Mr. Blake to be this thoughtful. Can we look forward to hearing good news from you
soon?"
"Mr. Blake bought a proposal ring and made it public. He must really love Ms. Hart. | thought he'd always been
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtaloof, yet he's so romantic!"
The tense atmosphere was instantly softened by the appearance of the ring.
Dorian's confidence grew. He believed that Lila would surely be moved if the reporters were. Plus, he'd made it
public to all the media outlets.
But his smile froze in the next second.
A reporter frowned and pointed out. "Mr. Blake, you might not know the meaning behind the sandalwood
bracelet, but Ms. Hayes does. You said you've known her for years, so even if she doesn't know that the bracelet
was from Ms. Hart, she should've known you were in a relationship."
Dorian frowned slightly, and everyone turned to look at the reporter. It was a pretty young lady with a high
ponytail-Dalia Hodges. She showed no fear even under the intense scrutiny of watchful eyes.
Her voice was steady as she continued, "Ms. Hart publicly asked for your destiny bracelet on the award stage, so
doesn't that suggest she was trying to seduce you? Was she trying to be a homewrecker?"
Her last words hit Dorian like a bolt of lightning and left him stunned. Zara being a homewrecker? If word got out,
how would Zara be able to continue her career in the entertainment industry?
"What nonsense are you spouting?" He rebuked and tried to silence Dalia with his authority.
But she stood firm. "Ms. Hart is a homewrecker. She knew you had a girlfriend, yet she still asked for something
so personal with a special meaning.
"And Mr. Blake, I'm sorry but you might not be able to win Ms. Hart back."
Dorian had wanted to slap Dalia for her previous words, but her last words sparked the urge to strangle her
where she stood. He'd started feeling less confident ever since the conversation with Camille. Lila's indifferent
attitude only made things worse for him.
He kept convincing himself that there was no way Lila would stop loving him, so he went to Alex to confirm her
feelings-only to receive a scolding.
Still, Dorian was determined to prove that Lila loved him, one way or another.

He'd bought the ring, and all that remained was to return to the mountain to get the bracelet and find proof that
she still loved him.
He'd done so much preparation, and just as he was about to succeed, a random reporter like Dalia cout of
nowhere to remind him that he could never win Lila back.
Dalia calmly met his gaze. "According to relevant resources, Ms. Hart obtained the sandalwood bracelet after
praying for hours on Mount Shasta. Did you ever think of doing something for her in return?
"Mr. Blake, do you know there's a special wish paper at Mount Shasta that can be hung on a wishing tree?"
Dorian frowned. It was clear that he had no idea. "What are you getting at?"
"A few days ago, a friend of mine saw Ms. Hart on the mountain. She'd once hung
a wish for you with a protection charm, but she went back and smashed it up herself. Were you aware of this?"
Dorian froze. Then, he angrily roared, "That's impossible!"
He believed Lila went up the mountain to pray they could get back together. She
loved him, so how could she possibly smash the protection charm?
