too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian)

"Mr. Locke Senior, you can try if you want-offer up the entire Locke family; see if that will be enough to save that worthless life of Pierre's!"

After speaking, Kieran picked Lila up and walked away, leaving Martin stunned, unable to react. Was Kieran really willing to turn against the Locke family for a woman?

His lips moved as if to speak, but before he could say anything, Kieran had already carefully shielded the woman in his arms and walked away with large strides.

Cole drove the car over, and they left the Locke residence. Back at the venue, some noticed their departure.

"Why did Mr. Morgan leave so suddenly?"

"I saw him storming out just now, looking furious, and soon after, Mr. Locke Senior went that way. Some people heard screams and sounds of a conflict breaking out."

"Who dares watch Mr. Morgan's drama? When Mr. Locke Senior went there, anyone who tried to follow was stopped."

"Could it be that Pierre went too far with a woman and got on Mr. Morgan's bad side?" A hush fell over the crowd as some whispered in surprise.

"Impossible, right? What's in it for the Locke family to provoke him? The Locke family would be destroyed if the two families really went to war. But the Morgan family has Mr. Morgan at the helm; even with big losses, they won't be fatally wounded."

The gossip continued. Upon overhearing the conversation, Shannon nearly threw the cup in her hand in frustration. She had been waiting for Kieran to drink that spiked wine and take advantage of the situation.

Ultimately, he drank it, but she didn't even manage to do anything. How dare Pierre deceive her!

After hearing the news, Vince and Amelia rushed over, only to find a scene of chaos.

Bloodstains were still on the floor. The disheveled state of the bed made Amelia's steps falter, her fingers trembling slightly. She quickly turned to leave, and Vince hurried to follow her, realizing what was happening.

"Amelia, calm down. Let's find out what happened first..."

Amelia narrowed her eyes. "Calm down? I'm perfectly calm! No matter what

happened, Vivian deserves to die for plotting against me!"

She found Vivian and slapped her across the face without hesitation. She didn't care that there were still many people in the venue.

Vivian's lip started bleeding from the force of the slap.

Amelia's hand throbbed with pain and numbness as she pointed at her, sneering. "You truly deserve to die."

The venue was in chaos when Benjamin and Charlotte arrived.

Word quickly spread about the Locke family offending the Morgan Group and Joyce Group in one night.

Lila sat in the car, the warmth and comfort gradually helping her regain her composure, though her body still felt uncomfortably warm.

She was still in Kieran's arms, and after a slight struggle, she softly murmured, "Kieran, I feel unwell."

He assumed she was still frightened

by what had just happened. He raised his hand and gently patted

her back to comfort her. His voice was deep and soothing, carrying a faint sweet fragrance.

"It's all over now. We'll be home soon. Don't worry about the Locke family. I'll

settle the score with them."

She was momentarily stunned. It

was rare for him to speak so bluntly. In truth, she had already calmed down. Even if he hadn't shown up, she would never have allowed herself to be defiled by sucha disgusting person as Pierre.

Once the fear faded, there was only the resolve to face death without hesitation. She had even considered the possibility of Killing Pierre ending her life. But luckily, Keran arrived on time.

The brief silence was insufficient to quell the heat still coursing through her body.

Lila furrowed her brows. The drink had not only been spiked with drugs but also with an aphrodisiac...

Pierre really was a beast. She struggled to sit up, her face flushed with an unnatural warmth.noveldrama

Kieran paused for a moment, then reached up to touch her forehead. She was hot but not feverish.

In an instant, he realized what had happened.
