Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 154 Let Me Apologize

Throughout the journey, Aurora's heart was fraught with anxiety. Ever since she was a child, even when she inadvertently broke her grandfather's prized orchid, he had never spoken to her in such a stern tone.

Julian glanced at her and noticed her preoccupied look. "Don't worry," he reassured her, "From what I know of Oswaldo, he's not as clueless as your father."

Though he had been without Aurora for three years, he had meticulously investigated her family during that time.

"Even so, I still feel uneasy. My grandfather has never spoken in such a tone," Aurora said, her brows furrowed and eyes filled with nervousness.

Julian could only comfort her, given that it was a family matter for Aurora, and Oswaldo hadn't revealed the truth over the phone. Even Julian was in the dark about what had transpired.

Amidst her unease, the car gradually entered Montgomery Manor. Aurora checked the time. It was just past ten, nearly eleven.

Oswaldo had always been an early riser and an early sleeper, very routine in his habits. Julian held her somewhat cold hand. "Aurora, let me go with you."

He couldn't bear to see Aurora so tense, fearing she might get hurt.

"It's okay. I haven't done anything wrong, and it's not like they're going to kill me. It's getting late, and I probably won't be home today. You go back and rest. I'll call you after I've handled everything," Aurora said, releasing his hand.

"Alright, be careful." He could only offer her these words of comfort.

Aurora stepped out of the car and walked towards the villa. The butler, already waiting by the door, gave her a look that signaled her to be cautious.
