NovelEnglishChapter 170
Two days into the trial shoot for Joyce Group, Lila made a trip back to Evergreen Heights to grab sthings.
Kieran happened to be there. When he looked up and saw Lila cin, his usually calm and indifferent
expression softened a little.
He waved at her. "Chere."
Lila tilted her head and walked over happily. "Uncle Kieran, what's up?"
She sounded cheerful and was clearly in a good mood.
Kieran stared at her for a short while before standing up and taking a box out of a nearby cabinet. "Cole brought
back the repaired camera yesterday. Take a look and see if there are any issues."
At that, Lila's eyes lit up even more as if she were looking at a treasure. She walked over excitedly.
She inspected the camera, seeing if the "LYZ" letters on the side were still there— they were.
Lila's eyes flickered for a moment before they quickly returned to normal. With a smile, she stepped back a bit,
preparing to try taking a shot.

She tilted her head and said, "Uncle Kieran."
Hearing her soft voice, Kieran looked up. There was a small hint of smile in his eyes that most people wouldn't
notice, but Lila knew he was in a good mood.
She clicked the camera, capturing the image of the ethereal man.
"When I've sorted out the photos, I'll show them to you."
Kieran nodded as his phone on the table buzzed.
"Go and take care of that, Uncle Kieran. | just cto take my clothes. | have a
trial shoot at Citrus Media. It's all thanks to the special invitation from Magi Pictures you gave me. Without it, Mr.
Joyce wouldn't have giventhis opportunity."
Lila's smile widened, her fair skin glowing under the light.
Kieran lowered his eyes briefly, concealing a trace of darkness deep within.
"By the way, when Noah comes back, can you let him know that Aunt Nicole
wants him to return to Morgan residence to keep Grandma company? | sent him a message, but he hasn't replied
me."
“Alright.”
After getting a response from him, Lila turned and went to her room She gathered what she needed and left
without noticing the chat log on Kieran's laptop-it was his conversation with Cole.
Cole: "Mr. Morgan, Dorian hasn't received any good scripts or endorsements domestically recently He's now
working on securing a foreign endorsement Since he recently won an
ol
international award, they seem
interested in collaborating. Should |
block it?"
Kieran: "Release the video of Dorian taking a woman into the hotel room that

night. They'll definitely drop the collaboration."
The next morning, Lila headed to Citrus Media early.
Owen Gray, the man who negotiated with Lila, was there as well. He greeted her warmly when he saw her.
Glancing at the staff nearby and not seeing Amelia, Lila let out a small sigh of relief.
Ever since the day they had each other's WhatsApp, Amelia had been messaging her every few days.
There wasn't much to it—sometimes she shared something fun, other times she asked what Lila was doing.
Swere simple greetings. And she had once invited Lila out for a meal.
That day, Lila happened to be busy, so she had to decline Amelia. Amelia didn't push the matter as she
continued as before, sharing things and sending greetings.
Owen chuckled. "Are you looking for Ame? She knows you're coming today, so she said she'd ctoo. But she
just calledto say she's waiting for a friend to cwith her, and she asked you to wait for her."
Lila was speechless as she nodded. Amelia was acting as if she was meeting a celebrity crush.
Owen led Lila to a spot nearby and went off to handle other business.
About half an hour later, she heard Amelia's cheerful voice. "Lila!"
Lila looked up, about to respond with a smile. But the moment she saw Dorian behind Amelia, her smile froze.
