Chapter 538 Lila wanted to say she wasn't as busy as Kieran.
But since they finally had ttogether, she didn't want to bring up anything that would dampen the mood. Instead, she changed the subject. "Let's eat." Just as they were about to eat, a knock sounded.
Faith walked in but quickly stopped when she saw them about to eat. "I'll cback later." She swiftly stepped out and closed the door behind her. Lila stared at the door.
Kieran noticed the shift in her mood. "What's wrong?" Lila retracted her gaze and asked, "How long will the collaboration with the Moore family last?" "Around six months," Kieran answered.

"Not necessarily. Her relationship with the Moore family seems strained. She needs to return if she wants to take over Moore Group." Kieran explained, "But she'll be under their control if she goes back now." "So she's caught in a tough spot?" Lila mumbled.
Seeing the confusion on her face, Kieran pinched her cheek. "Since when did you start caring so much about her affairs?" Lila wanted to say she was doing this to guard her relationship. But if she did, she feared Kieran would think she didn't trust him.
So after shesitation, she rephrased her words. "Not really. I find the Moore family's situation strange. But... didn't Faith ask for your help?" Kieran chuckled. "You're smart, Lila. I bought 5% of Moore Group's shares." "That doesn't seem like a lot." Lila thought about her 22% stake in Morgan Group. That was how she becthe biggest shareholder.
"It's enough. The Moore family is complicated. No one has a particularly high percentage of shares. If she truly wants control, she needs the board's support," Kieran explained.
Lila nodded. She didn't understand business matters, but if Kieran said it was enough, then there shouldn't be a big problem.
After they finished their meal, Lila prepared to leave. She didn't let Kieran see her off and pushed him back onto the couch to kiss him.
Kieran cocked a brow, a small smile playing on his lips.
He didn't say a word, but Lila could see the glimmer in his eyes.
Lila was acting bold.

She hadn't expected to run into Faith in the hallway. Faith had just ended a phone call, her face full of frustration. When Faith saw Lila, she quickly adjusted herself and put on a smile. "Heading back so soon?" Lila nodded. "The film crew is still busy." There wasn't much to talk about and the atmosphere felt awkward.
After a brief pause, Faith pressed her lips together. "Have you met Moses yet?" Lila nodded, and Faith continued, het "Don't believe a word he says. He and his mother are just one of thể many affairs my father has. But my father happens to favor them." ri "And due to the recent situation with Andy..." A trace of awkwardness one appeared on Faith's face. "My father is now considering Moses ashis heir."
Lila's eyes flickered. "So he thinks Andy is a lost cause and wants to replace him with a new successor." So he would rather have a bastard son as his heir than have a daughter take over the company.
Lila hesitated for a moment before asking, "What about your mother? Would she agree to this?" "Of course not." Faith sighed.
Lila nodded and observed Faith's expression. After a brief hesitation, she asked, Does your mother treat E you..." She didn't finish her sentence.
Andy had always treated Faith
poorly. But that couldn't be entirely because of Dennis His mother m Beatrice must have turned a blind eye too. Now that Andy had been abandoned, Beatrice would likely shift all the blonto Faith.
