Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 182: A Tooth for a Tooth

Aurora's roar startled Heather, causing her to tremble and slowly lift her head to meet Aurora's icy gaze. "That trash isn't worth your tears, and remember, dignity is not given by others but comes from yourself. Even if she's happy now, it's only temporary. How can you be beaten by such trash? You need to become stronger, stronger than everyone else, and then you can rise above them all. Whether you want to hurt others or not, at least no one will ever trample on you again." Aurora's firm words began to change Heather's heart.

"How should I become stronger?" Heather asked. "First, hold back those worthless tears; second, make your heart tougher than anyone else's; and lastly, the workplace is not a place for vacation. Do you think people will leave you alone if you don't provoke them? Whoever provokes you, you must pay them back double, so no one will dare to bully you again. Do you blame me for not speaking up earlier to have the president fire Alison?"

"I... I don't dare think that way, you've already helped me a lot, you are a good person," Heather admitted, though she felt slightly upset when she heard that Alison wouldn't be fired. She hated that she had no background to get Alison kicked out of the company, but she held no grudge against Aurora.

"Good person? Good and bad are just relative, after all. You think I'm good, but some people hate me to the bone. As long as you can protect yourself, that's all that matters! In that situation earlier, the president clearly wanted to save face for his brother. Even if I had spoken up, it wouldn't have changed the facts, and would have only made things difficult for the president. Why bother? I have plenty of ways to deal with Alison."

Aurora released her grasp, her lips curling into a mischievous smile, seeing this as further proof that Alison was just a bimbo. "So you mean..." Heather then realized she had underestimated her.

Her being so young and already a manager made sense now; she was far superior compared to herself. "Like Alison, who provokes at every turn with such lowly tactics. If we're going to play, I prefer playing at a higher level. Do you want to become stronger?"

Heather nodded eagerly, "Yes, I want to stand high like you, looking down on others, not being trampled underfoot."

"Then I'll leave this matter to you. Give me your phone." Heather quickly handed over her phone, and Aurora saved her number, then sent her another number. "Whose number is this?" Heather asked.

"Paul Montgomery's wife. You don't need me to teach you what to do next, do you? Revenge is most satisfying when it's personal," Aurora said coolly.

Even the slow-witted Heather understood her meaning, "You mean I should tell this to Mr. Montgomery's wife?"

"I didn't say anything. How you do it is up to you. I'm giving you half a day off to adjust your mindset, live for yourself. I don't hurt others, but if someone dares to bully me, I pay them back worse."
