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

It was obvious that Faith had heard the commotion outside.

When the door opened, her once lifeless eyes flickered, and she forced a smile at Lila.

To outsiders, she had always been the distinguished eldest daughter of the Moore family. But only she knew how useless that identity truly was.

Now that everything had been exposed, she felt utterly humiliated.

Her gaze fell on the container Lila was carrying. After some hesitation, she said weakly, "Did you see those posts online?"

Lila lowered her eyes as she opened the food containers, placing them on the small table. "You mean the ones where people were shouting for Kieran to marry you?"

Beside her, Nicole was startled and turned to look at Faith. "Ms. Moore, you..." Faith looked at her, then lowered her eyes. "Can you give me a few more days? "In a month, I will clarify everything at the Moore Group's shareholder meeting." Lila thought about what Kieran had said earlier and figured they wouldn't have to wait a whole month.

Faith couldn't read Lila. Just as she was about to ask again, Lila nodded. "Alright, we'll wait."

"I've already arranged for a nurse. She should be here after you finish eating," Lila added, then turned to Nicole. "Mrs. Morgan, I asked the driver to pick you up. I need to head to the office to bring Kieran some food, so I won't be able to take you home myself."

Nicole was overjoyed that Lila was thinking about Kieran and reminded her to be careful on the way.

Lila arrived at the office when Kieran was about to have lunch with a few of his men.

Seeing Lila, the men quickly greeted her. They all knew how much Kieran doted on his wife. So, while greeting her, they also took the opportunity to flatter Kieran.

"You're really lucky, Mr. Morgan. Mrs. Morgan even brought you lunch!"

"Not many women are as beautiful and considerate as Mrs. Morgan."

"Such a perfect match! Mrs. Morgan is stunning and talented. That film she made was amazing!"

Lila wanted to hide herself listening to this group of men shamelessly showering her with compliments.

She forced a smile, waiting for them to leave before sighing dramatically. "Do all your employees compliment people so awkwardly?"

But Kieran was in a good mood after hearing them repeatedly call him and Lila a perfect match.

Seeing his smug grin, Lila couldn't help but laugh in amusement. But she quickly got to the main topic. "Did you return to the company to deal with the Moore family's matters?

"The partnership between the two families has already been finalized. Won't it impact the Morgan Group if we make a move against the Moore family now?"

Kieran pinched her cheek. "Where did my clever Lila go? Have you been possessed?"

It was rare to see him tease her, and Lila laughed. "I'm being serious. Stop messing around."noveldrama

She swatted his hand away, but Kieran chuckled instead of getting annoyed. "It's just a change in leadership within the Moore family. The partnership won't be affected.

"With public opinion getting more heated, the sooner we settle this, the better."

After the ordeal with Dennis earlier today, Kieran had returned to the office to accelerate his influence over Moore Group.

Moore Group's shareholders had long harbored resentment towards the family's arrogant ways. Winning their support didn't require much effort.

Originally, the shareholder meeting was scheduled for a month later But they announced that the meeting would be held one week from now by tomorrow morning.

Currently, Faith has 7% of the shares. While it wasn't a huge amount, it was enough.

Lila understood Kieran was worried she would suffer if the rumors continued.

Her heart warmed. She hadn't fallen for the wrong man.

Seeing him lower his eyes, Lila recalled how Beatrice had, for once, defended Faith at the hospital.

After some thought, she suggested, "Should we ask Mrs. Moore if she's willing to transfer her shares to Faith again?"

The more shares Faith had, the more secure her position would be.
