Chapter148

    The door to the lounge was suddenly pushed open.


    Dorian''s impatience surged, and he was about to reprimand the intruder when Margaret spoke first.


    "Dorian."


    Although she was holding back her emotions, she still looked very imposing.


    Dorian''s frustration didn''t subside as he assumed she hade for money again, especially with Darcy following behind her.


    "Aunt Margaret, why are you here?"


    "I heard you broke up with L, so I came to check on things. Then, I ran into that wild girl at the entrance who dared to shout at me.


    "Let me tell you, Dorian, whether you''re sincere about getting back with her or not, this woman is no good. She''spletely unrefined and will only bring shame to our family."


    Darcy chimed in, "Yeah, Dorian, it''s bad enough that L yelled at me, but my mom is an elder! And she treated her like that. Kicking her out of Nexus Entertainment was the right decision."


    Dorian looked up at them, feeling that this mother-daughter duo was just here to fuel the fire.


    "My matters are my own business. You don''t need to meddle," he said coldly. Margaret was taken aback. The young man, who had always been polite to her, suddenly seemed like apletely different person.


    She turned to look at Darcy, but Darcy didn''t dare to say anything either.


    Margaret hesitated and said somewhat ingratiatingly, "Dorian, let''s not talk about these unpleasant things. I came with good news. You know Mr. Joyce from the Joyce family, right?"


    Dorian frowned, not knowing what she was plotting.


    "I''ve recently gotten to know Mrs. Joyce. After she found out I''m rted to you, she told me her daughter likes you and wants to meet you.


    "I''ve met the girl, and she''s gorgeous and elegant."


    L didn''t evene close to her.


    Of course, Margaret didn''t say this out loud.


    Dorian frowned deeper. What did "meet" mean? Wasn''t this just matchmaking?


    "Which Joyce family?" His eyes darkened.


    "How many Joyce families are there in Northridge? You should know them. They have a lot of businesses, and their entertainment industry is doing quite well, too.


    "Citrus Media is on par with Nexus Entertainment."


    Dorian lowered his gaze. Joyce Group was about the same size as Nexus Entertainment, but the Joyce family''s business wasn''t just limited to the entertainment industry.


    If he remembered correctly, Benjamin only had one daughter.


    Seeing that Dorian didn''t respond, Margaret continued, "You''re single now, and even if you weren''t, it''s just meeting someone, getting to know a fan, making a friend. What''s the harm in that?"


    Margaret was so enthusiastic because Charlotte promised that their family would get a business partnership if the match went well.


    That was a deal with one of the most influentialpanies in Northridge.


    It would be a big win if Dorian and Charlotte''s daughter hit it off.


    The ke family would then be one of the prominent families in Northridge!


    Margaret became even happier as she thought this through. The displeasure L caused was nowpletely gone.


    Darcy also added, "Dorian, I''ve seen Mrs. Joyce''s daughter too. She''s beautiful and well-mannered. She''s a hundred times better than L.


    "You really don''t need to waste any more time on her. I used to think Zara was better than her, but now, with all her scandals, you definitely shouldn''t get involved with her.


    "Career should alwayse before women. Besides, what kind of woman can''t you have once your career is stable?


    "If you really want L, just throw some money at her after your career is secure and keep her around. That''s all."
