NovelEnglishChapter 230
Terry looked at Dorian with a strange, almost mocking expression, unable to suppress a laugh.
"If you want success and rise above, work for it then. If hurting others could make someone superior, murderers
would be the wealthiest people by now! And there's something else you got wrong.
"Dorian, it's not that no one has your back. In this world, no one would sacrifice for you like Lila. You pushed
away the people who would have had your back."
These words struck Dorian like a blow, causing the resentment in his heart to explode.
His eyes turned venomous. "Did you already know about Lila and Kieran?"
Terry didn't answer his question. "You'll never meet someone like Lila again. No matter your methods, you won't
be able to win her back."
Like a wild animal, Dorian knocked everything off the table, the crash echoing through the empty room.
"I was with Lila for five years. How long has Kieran known her? No one can replace my place in her heart!"
Terry took a step back, his gaze filled with pity.

"Dorian, | advise you, if you still want to have any place in Lila's heart, stop doing anything further."
Dorian's eyes widened, bloodshot, filled with rage. "No! Lila is mine! She can only be mine!"
Terry stared at him briefly before speaking, his voice shaking slightly. "This is the end of our friendship. When you
used me... as a pawn, the bond was severed."
His clenched fist trembled. It was clear he was suppressing his emotions. With that, he turned and walked out.
"Terry, are you going to betraytoo?" Dorian's voice was a low, desperate shout as Terry opened the door.
Terry didn't stop; his steps were firm as he walked away.
The only sign of his inner turmoil was the tight grip of his fist at his side.
The large room fell silent again. Dorian's face darkened with anger. He stood and left the office.
A few steps away, he overheard a conversation from the nearby rest area.
"Did you see today's news? The one that showed Lila is Mr. Morgan's fiancee. That's unbelievable."
"When did Mr. Morgan and she get together? How did no one hear anything about it?"
"Could it be that Lila broke up with Dorian, and then Mr. Morgan took advantage of it?"
"No way. Mr. Morgan wouldn't need to take advantage of anything. If he gavea look, I'd fall right into his
arms. Haha."
Another woman whispered, "I think Mr. Morgan really did take advantage because Mr. Lawson said that Lila is the
adopted daughter of the Morgan family, and she's been living with them for many years.
"She was introduced to Mr. Morgan in high school, but later, she was with Dorian. A few months ago, they broke
up, and now Mr. Morgan announced their engagement. Doesn't the timeline match?"
The other woman gasped, even more shocked than before.
Dorian's eyes narrowed. Lila was the adopted daughter of the Morgan family, and she had been living at the
Morgan residence since high school?
How was this possible? They had been together for so many years, and she had always been a woman without
any background. If she had such a powerful family behind her, how could she never mention it?
Then, it seemed like something clicked in his mind. He clenched his fists. Lila had said it before. She said Noah
was her brother...

The women continued talking
nearby. "I didn't realize there was someone with such a powerful background around me. And | heard from Mr.
Lawson that he first worked with Dorian because of Lila, and he knew she had the Morgan. family backing her."
"Mr. Lawson already knew? He really keeps things tight-lipped!"
"Speaking of which, I just remembered something else. The 'Heart of Clarity project at Magi Pictures. Do you
know about it? Didn't they sign a contract with Dorian?
"We were all curious about how Lila helped him land it, and now it seems like she used her identity as the
adopted daughter of the Morgan family to get it for him. And right after they broke up, Magi Pictures canceled his
collaboration
"My goodness! When you put it that way, it adds up. When Lila was around, Dorian had great resources. After
they broke up, his career immediately dived. She really worked hard for him."
Another woman sighed lightly. "But we can't say all of it was because of connections. After all, many of his
resources had nothing to do with the Morgan family. She's really talented. She never once mentioned her
identity, and | really admire her for that."
Dorian reached out to steady himself against the wall, his mind blank as if struck
by a thunderbolt.
