NovelEnglishChapter 89
Lila's face went cold as she raised a hand to push Darcy away, but Dorian
stepped in first, yanking Darcy back and shielding Lila behind him. "Darcy, you're stepping more and more out of
line."
Lila looked at her arm, which was red and hurting from being gripped.
Darcy's face only revealed her shock. "Dorian, you already broke up with her, yet you still-"
Before she could finish, Dorian's crisp slap to her face resounded.
Zara gasped in disbelief. "Dorian..."
Lila paused briefly, her gaze lifting slightly to Dorian's back. She couldn't see his expression, but his anger was
unmistakable.

He had always been protective of his family. Despite knowing how ridiculous Darcy could be, he rarely ever got
angry at her.
Lila suddenly recalled the tshe'd given Darcy a set of LovingBird earrings. Darcy had openly shown her
disdain for it in front of Lila and even complained to Dorian over the phone, claiming that Lila looked down on her
and only gave her cheap gifts.
Dorian had listened to Darcy complain over the phone for a long while, irritation etched across his face, but he
still ended the call by sending her 20 thousand dollars through his assistant.
Lila had been beside him then, hearing every word. After hanging up, he'd pulled her into his arms, burying his
face in her neck with a weary sigh. "Lila, I'm sorry you have to put up with this."
"I know Darcy's in the wrong, but my uncle's family is all | have left. Without him, who knows where I'd be now?
Just bear with it a bit longer, okay? When Darcy graduates, I'll make sure she's somewhere far away, so she
won't bother you again."
He'd spoken with such sincerity that Lila couldn't bring herself to blhim.
Tand again, he had repeatedly mediated their arguments, justifying Darcy's actions until things eventually
died out. She never imagined the day when Dorian would lose his temper with Darcy, though she never
supported the idea of violence.
Darcy reacted quickly and burst into loud sobs. "Dorian, we're family! And you hitover soutsider? All
these years, if it weren't for our family, do you think you'd have been able to go to university? How could you do
this? Aren't you ashamed of yourself for betraying my dad like this?"
Her words made Dorian's face darken instantly. His parents had died in a car crash during his high school years.
They'd left enough for him to finish his education, and since he was underage, his uncle and aunt had managed
the money. Once he entered university, he'd begun working part-tand hadn't taken a penny from his uncle.
Instead, he'd been sending money to his uncle's family for years. So, what debt did he still owe them? He could
treat that family well by choice, but he would not let Darcy trample all over him.
Zara noticed Darcy's rage building and quickly tried to calm her down. "Darcy, calm down. Dorian appreciates
his uncle's support, but he also helped your family a lot over the years. You're all family. It's not about owing

Darcy's eyes widened in anger, and her voice intensified. "We're family, so of course Dorian should give me
money. What has it got to do with my father's care for him?"
Her temper flared up so much that she didn't notice Dorian's expression getting colder. She pushed Zara away,
her heavy eyeliner running alongside her tears, making her face appear more unsightly.
"Darcy, you shouldn't say that..."
Darcy pointed at her furiously. "Whose side are you on? | did all of this for you! Don't you dare be ungrateful!"
Darcy seethed inside. Even Zara, who usually coddled her, wasn't backing her up and instead blamed her. Zara
cursed inwardly, wondering who asked this idiot for help. To her, Darcy was a useless piece of garbage that only
caused trouble.
The perfect setup was ruined by Darcy's interference, effectively worsening the situation.
