It was rare for Beal to call Lila by her full name like this. When Lila heard this, she was too scared to say anything.
Having heard his question, Lila knew that her parents had found out about her and Eric.
Getting involved with a married man?
How arrogant Lila used to be! If this was before, she'd never have thought of doing such a despicable thing at all.
However, things had changed a lot since the skydiving incident. She had started to feel that the Whites were beginning to distance themselves from her.
She was still in the family now due to the fact that she had been with them for years. That was all there was to it. She knew for a fact that the Whites didn't have much love left for her anymore.
When the White family really decided to abandon her, where could she go next?
She really didn't want to go back to her birth parents' home. Shehadlongbecome accustomed to the life of a spoiled rich daughter. The best option now for her was to find a rich guy and have him marry her.
She couldn't count on the White family any longer. She had to find herself a promising future on her own.
When she first met Eric, she was attending a party held by her friend.
Rich men were usually playboys, but Eric was a different matter. He looked both mature and sophisticated.
With just a few words from Eric, Lila fell head over heels for him. He was handsome, rich, and definitely irresistible for girls Lila's age.
Born in a rich and powerful family, Eric was still in his prime and was very good-looking. He was the ideal candidate for many unmarried young ladies from wealthy families based in Barnes. The only problem was that he was already married and with a child too.
Lila had hesitated at first. She didn't want to get herself involved in other people's marriages.
