NovelEnglishChapter 93
Zara was slightly startled by Dorian's reaction, and tears involuntarily streamed down her face. She shook her
head, trying to explain herself amidst her
confusion.
"I-1 don't know! | didn't do anything! I followed their requests exactly. Dorian, it's not my fault! They suddenly
said they wouldn't cooperate anymore. | suspect someone is behind this!"
As she spoke, her eyes brightened as if she thought of something. "Lila arranged this collaboration. Could it be
that she wants to ruin you now? Maybe she contacted Magi Pictures to make them withdraw!"
Dorian's expression darkened even more when he heard this. If this had happened a while ago, he might have
considered that possibility. But now, he was unequivocal in his belief that it wasn't Lila's doing.
He looked directly at Zara. His mind was in a chaotic mix of anger and confusion, suddenly perplexed as he
gazed at her.

Zara didn't understand why he wasn't as angry as before. Instead, he seemed to examine her sharply.
His eyes were deep and piercing as if he could see right through her.
Zara felt a pang of panic in her heart. She bit her lower lip and feigned calmness. "Dorian, I'm just guessing. Lila
likes you, so she shouldn't want to make trouble for you. But "
His eyes remained sharp as he continued to look at her without responding.
She swallowed hard before finishing her sentence. "Lila dislikes me. Maybe she found out I'm your assistant and
got upset, so she did this to make you think it was my fault and pushaway."
In the past, Dorian would have felt a stronger aversion toward Lila upon hearing this. But now, there was no
trace of hatred in his eyes, just an icy demeanor.
He narrowed his eyes and spoke slowly. "You seem to have a knack for directing my anger toward Lila."
Zara's heart raced as panic almost broke through her composure. "Dorian, what do you mean by that? | said |
was just guessing." She tried to maintain a smile. "Let's hurry and contact Magi Pictures to find out the details
about this aborted collaboration."
He studied her intently for a moment before turning to leave without saying another word. He didn't notice that
Zara was watching him with a similarly profound gaze.
Lila contacted Terry a week later.
He happened to be working on a film set nearby, so they agreed to meet at a nearby restaurant.
"You cto see me. Does that mean you've agreed?" Terry asked after taking a sip of his drink.
The woman in front of him had clear, bright eyes, and the soft lighting in the restaurant cast a gentle glow on her
porcelain-like face, making Lila look even more serene and lovely.
When she passed by earlier, he had caught a whiff of her lovely jasmine scent. He couldn't help but think that
Dorian was truly unaware of his fortune.
Lila smiled, adding a hint of warmth to her graceful demeanor. "The script is even better than | expected."
Terry raised an eyebrow, exuding a casual charm typical of a wealthy heir, yet his tone remained serious.
"My dad just cut off my funds, it's not like I lost my mind. If we're going to do this, we can't do it poorly, right?

Lila studied him briefly before replying, "I can take the project, but as you mentioned, I'd like to bring in the two
newcomers under me. | don't need the lead male and female roles for them—the supporting leads will do.
"I've gone through the script, and these characters are perfect for them. I'll also
hire professional instructors for their training. It won't—"
She was interrupted by Terry's boisterous laughter. "Alright. | trust you with the arrangements. No need to
explain so much to me. if you say it's good, then that's
fine."
They exchanged smiles, reaching a consensus. After a simple meal, Lila left first.
Once she was out of sight, Terry texted Dorian. He didn't wait for a reply and left after putting his phone away.
He had fulfilled his promise to Dorian, and now it was up to Dorian.
He hoped Dorian would remember this lesson and not keep Zara around, causing Lila further heartache.
