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.
She had long become 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.
"Very nice to meet you, Miss White."
It was when Eric came to accost her with a glass of wine in his hand that she changed her mind.His
words had a way of shaking her greatly.
"Do you know me?"
Lila was a little shocked to hear him say that.
Ever since Janet came into the picture, many people who had fawned over her had been taking care to
avoid her.
With a calm look on his face, Eric said to her, "There‘s only one Miss White in Barnes; isn‘t that right?"
Lila suddenly felt touched in her heart.It turned out that there was still someone who remembered who
she was.
"I have a sister."
Feeling confused, Eric apologized, "I‘m sorry, I've only heard of Lila White from the White family."
Just one glance and some words were enough to make a young girl become infatuated with him.
Lila had no idea why she went to the hotel with Eric that night.
When she woke up, she instantly began to regret it.
Just then, Eric said affectionately in her ear, "My wife and I have already broken up.We‘ll divorce soon
and I’ll go on to marry you by then.Lila, I’ve had a crush on you for a long time already."
Holding Eric in her arms, Lila felt that she had finally found her man.The Torres family happened to be
a big family.
Even if she turned out to be his second wife, it would still be much better for her than to marry the man
Johanna introduced her to.
After their first night together, Lila had been dating Eric ever since.She knew that Johanna and Beal
wouldn‘t approve of her affair with a married man, so she had been keeping it under wraps.
However, they were able to find out anyway.
Lila didn‘t dare to lie to them and could only admit truthfully, "Dad, Mom, we‘re in a relationship."
"In a relationship? You know full well that Eric‘s child is three years old! And that his wife is still
pregnant with their second child!"
Johanna pounded her fists on the table and she shouted angrily, "Lila! How could you stoop so low as
to be the home–wrecker?"
