Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 198: I'll Sleep in the Guest Room

At first, both of them had dismissed the position of manager as too trivial for them, but after Zachary's incident, they weren't even sure they could secure a job at the company anymore.

They grudgingly thanked Grandpa Montgomery for their interview opportunity, while Zachary and Ivy suffered extreme misfortune.

Now, even the duck that was almost in their mouths had flown away, and all of this chaos had been caused by Julian, who, ironically, had no personal grudge against them; his actions were solely for Aurora.

Thinking of Aurora only fueled their anger even further, yet they were powerless to do anything about it.

"Dad, Zachary is badly injured, I'm going to take him to the hospital," Genevieve said, unwilling to stay and face Aurora, uncertain if she had more tricks up her sleeve.

"Go on, then. Just looking at you makes me angry, always causing more problems than you solve," Grandpa Montgomery grumbled as he saw them off.

"Aren't you going back with them?" Grandpa Montgomery asked, noticing that Aurora and Julian had no plans to leave.

"Why? Grandpa, we came especially to keep you company, so you wouldn't be alone in this big house tonight," Aurora said with a slight smile.

In front of Magnus and Grandpa Montgomery, she was always on her best behavior, which finally brought a smile to Grandpa Montgomery's face. "You do have heart. Come on, Julian, let's have a few more rounds."

"Sure thing," Julian replied, his demeanor not entirely sycophantic. He had grown up in a fragmented family and deeply yearned for a warm home life. Being an illegitimate child himself, he loathed betrayal and infidelity the most.

He vowed in his heart, thinking of his mother's past hardships, that he would always treat his wife well, ensuring she never suffered and never becoming a heartbreaker himself.

The two played chess in the courtyard, now quieter with the arrival of autumn and fewer insects chirping.

The occasional sound of chess pieces being placed or leaves spinning down to crunch underfoot added to the tranquility.
