Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 99 The Outcast of the Montgomery Family

Seeing Hayden siding with Aurora, Susan was seething with rage. "Aurora, it must have been you who seduced Hayden!"

She recalled how Aurora used to only wear cute pajamas years ago. How had her tastes changed so much? Aurora's nightgown, though not revealing anything inappropriate, had a very low neckline and a short hem. Hayden was also wearing a robe. A man and a woman were alone together, who were once old flames to each other.

What had they been doing before she arrived? Or rather, had something already happened between them that night, or even before?

Susan dared not even think about it. Just imagining it pained her, yet she forgot that she had once treated Aurora the same way.

"Wearing something like this in my fiancé's home, what are you plotting? Did you think I wouldn't know? The Montgomery family no longer has a place for you. Now you're trying to seduce Hayden? Fat chance!"

Hearing her hurl these accusations at Aurora, Hayden was even more defensive of her. "I told you I was the one who brought her here. It has nothing to do with Aurora!"

Aurora had originally come to test if those thugs were Susan's people. Now she could confirm they were not related to Susan.

She wasn't going to stoop to bickering like a shrew. "Sorry, I'm tired. I don't have the energy to argue with you."

With that, Aurora turned and walked towards the stairs.

"You're not going anywhere! Get back down here! This is no place for you. Do you think you're still the heiress of the Montgomery family? You're nothing but an outcast!"

Susan's words grew harsher, but the more she spoke, the stranger it sounded to Hayden. Aurora had shown resistance to the Montgomery family before, but it wasn't as Susan described. And Hayden had a nagging feeling that the events of three years ago weren't so straightforward.

"Susan, you don't get to judge me," Aurora said, tired of the quarrel, and went upstairs.
