Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 156 Caught in Her Own Trap

Genevieve had intended to use the opportunity to trample Aurora into the dirt, but Julian's arrival dramatically changed the situation. She had never anticipated the kind of relationship that existed between Aurora and Julian. If that was the case, her own children were even further from matching Aurora's stature. Ivy and Zachary had been frittering away their days, lacking any significant partners, and their so-called friends were of no help to their futures.

"Who would have thought, Mr. Barnet, that you and Aurora are together? It's quite surprising. I just saw an interview recently where you mentioned you didn't have a girlfriend, and Aurora has only just returned. When did you two get together?" Genevieve asked.

Julian then looked at her directly for the first time. It was this detestable woman who had driven Aurora to a desperate plight, nearly costing her life.

Although he was quite angry, his expression remained gentle. "I have loved Aurora for many years. When she had someone by her side, I could only watch over her silently, respecting that a gentleman does not steal another's love. Breaking up lovers will indeed bring karmic retribution."

His words were ostensibly about Aurora and Hayden, but his real irony targeted Genevieve, who, as the other woman, broke up a family. The mention of "karmic retribution" was particularly grating to her, yet she had to maintain her composure.

"I would never have guessed that you are such a devoted lover, Mr. Barnet," she remarked.

"Aurora is a gift given to me by heaven. If others do not cherish her, it is their loss, but I will hold her dear and protect her from any harm," Julian declared.

He lifted Aurora's hand and tenderly kissed the back of it. There were no strangers present, so there was no need for a show.

Whether a man truly loved a woman could be seen in his eyes, and his were filled with adoration for Aurora. Even though he often spoke sweet words in private, this was the first time he had done so in front of her family, causing Aurora's cheeks to blush.

Leaning against him, she seemed just like any other woman, lacking the assertiveness she had shown before Ivy.

Seeing Julian's handsome face, Ivy recalled a time when another charismatic man had been by Aurora's side at school. Why did all the admirable people always gravitate towards her? Jealousy silently spread through her heart.
