Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 95 Being Followed

Senior year was almost over, and the school often held career talks for the graduating students, inviting successful individuals and business elites. The last time Julian appeared, it was merely to catch Aurora. He never intended to give a speech. Yet, only someone of Julian's stature could afford to miss such an event without being

blacklisted by the school. It was said that he donated a substantial amount of money to the school each year. Even though he bailed on the lecture last time, the principal had found him the best excuse, but even so, most of the female students were greatly disappointed at not having seen the legendary figure.

Aurora had no idea who had been invited to give today's lecture, and she was not interested in the slightest, choosing instead to sit in a corner. This probably was the neatest gathering of students yet. Aurora spotted some familiar faces. Ivy, who had drugged her three years ago, was wearing the latest Chanel dress, leaving a trail of fragrance as she passed. Ivy was surrounded by a group of stylishly dressed girls, clearly enjoying the status of being the pampered daughter of the Montgomery family.

Aurora's lips curled into a mocking smile as she adjusted her glasses, knowing Ivy's peaceful days would soon end. Around her, people were buzzing about today's lecturer. She wasn't usually interested in idle gossip, but she ended up listening anyway.

As they moved closer to Aurora, she seized the moment and fiercely kicked the nearest man. He screamed in pain and fell to the ground. "Are you okay?" The sudden turn of events startled everyone. They rushed to check on him. It was now or never! She swiftly ran away, thankful for her habit of wearing flat shoes instead of heels at school. Though she had learned some self-defense over the years, facing five thugs was daunting without certainty of victory. Her only option was to flee. "Catch her. That little witch. How dare she kick me?" the man ordered his followers, despite his pain. Fortunately, her running habit gave her the stamina needed, but they were close behind her.
