Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 217: Regrets Come Too Late

Above her was a banner displaying a photo of herself and Paul in front of a car. Despite their eyes being pixelated, her intoxicated expression was still unmistakably visible. The glaring headline struck her hard:

"Montgomery Group VP Caught in Car Garage Sex Scandal!"

She casually browsed through several forums; posts about Aurora had already been removed, replaced by newer ones. Overnight, the discussion had exploded to tens of thousands of comments, detailing even which elementary school she attended, yet her contact information was conspicuously absent.

Even so, many recognized her, "I know her; we just had a gathering recently. She was flaunting a Chanel bag, acting all high and mighty. So that's how she got her bag."

"I know her too. Back in middle school, she was already off. She'd mess around with boys in the woods; I saw it happen several times."

"Tsk, isn't this my ex? She cheated on me when we were together. I'm not surprised to hear she's still the same, honestly, hearing she's the other woman doesn't shock me."

"I still have a lot of her old photos, DM me if you want them."

"Slut! Home-wrecker!!"

"You reap what you sow when you break up someone's marriage!"
