Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 146 I Just Want You

Aurora withdrew her gaze from the couple and, linking her arm with Julian's,

suggested, "Julian, let's not disturb them anymore. They have other guests to attend to. Let's go."

"As you wish," Julian agreed, and they left together.

Susan and Hayden looked visibly upset. Why, of all people, did she choose Julian?

The attendees today were from the entertainment and business sectors, and many greeted Julian eagerly as they recognized him.

Among them were familiar faces and some business magnates, underscoring Julian's high status.

"Not bad. You're doing quite well!" Aurora whispered into his ear.

"Of course," Julian replied playfully. "I wouldn't dare to meet you if I weren't. You called me by my name quite smoothly just now. Say it again. I want to hear it."

Aurora, observing his expression and recalling his past, knew his sufferings well. From an illegitimate son to establishing his dominance in the business world, she was well aware of his struggles.

She and Asher had faced their own hardships in America, known only to them, and Julian didn't take his father's last name, indicating he wouldn't leverage the Alvarez family's connections.

Others saw only his peerless achievement, unaware of his true identity and the hardships he had endured.

Aurora suddenly remembered the day more than a decade ago when she had encountered him at sea, in danger. Had it not been for her ship, he might have perished.

She never asked how his ship had come to be wrecked, but even then, as a child, he was eerily calm.

Thinking over it now, along with his attitude towards the Alvarez family, it was clear he disliked, even despised, them.
