Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 281: She's Worth More Than My Life

"Speaking of which, isn't Julian the youngest son of the Alvarez family? Even the closest grandchild isn't as close as a son, yet he handed over Alvarez Enterprises to his

grandson, which is really strange," someone remarked. Asher didn't know the details but found the situation peculiar on its own.

"The company is his after all; he can pass the inheritance to whoever he wants, there's nothing strange about that," Aurora felt that she might be involved in this somehow. After all, she had left a poor first impression on Joaquin during their initial meeting when he insisted that Julian marry Lindsay.

"Are you all done eating?" Julian entered with a smile, "Robert said your cold is better now. After breakfast, we can go home."

"I still have an appetite, and you sure are carefree, your father gave the company to Hayden," Asher commented sarcastically. Hayden had hurt Aurora in the past, and Asher could never show a warm face to Hayden again, naturally not wishing him to get what he wanted.

"Is it because of me?" Aurora put down her chopsticks and stood up to face Julian. Julian glanced at the Alvarez Enterprises news playing on the TV and immediately turned it off with the remote control.

"What's there to watch in this kind of news, Little Bunny? My name is Barnet, I have nothing to do with the Alvarez family. It's their business how they want to change things up," he said nonchalantly, which made Aurora feel even more guilty. "Julian, I'm sorry, it must be because of me that you..."

"Silly Aurora, why does everyone think I should care so much about Alvarez Enterprises? To me, it's just a small company, let them fuss," Julian reassured her, pulling her into his arms. "My dad threatened to marry me to Lindsay, otherwise he would give all the shares to Hayden. What would you do if I married Lindsay?"

Realizing he was finally telling the truth, and it indeed related to her, Aurora felt deeply remorseful. "Julian."

"Don't feel guilty. To me, you are the priceless treasure. As for money, what I now have is enough for you to live on for ten lifetimes. Since we've decided to be together, I wouldn't give up on you for anything," Julian's voice was gentle. He never cared for handouts or threats; he always took what he wanted himself.

Hearing his words, Aurora was even more moved, probably only he dared to call Alvarez Enterprises a small company. If it were really that small, it wouldn't be among the top four wealthy families.

The more casually and lightly he spoke, the more it proved his deep feelings for Aurora. In this materialistic era, where everyone prioritizes their interests, he placed his feelings first, how could Aurora not be moved?
