Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 292: Foolishness

Seeing Ivy's expression, Magnus felt inexplicably irritated. Why couldn't these two just give him some peace of mind?

"Which part did you get right? I find it strange too. Ever since Aurora returned, why have you looked at her unfavorably and picked fights with her at every turn? What exactly has Aurora done to make you despise her so much? You previously wronged her by accusing her of being a homewrecker, but it turned out she and Julian are genuinely in love. Now, you even ridiculously claim that Zachary's gambling debt and high-interest loans are her doing. Do you think she is a god, that Zachary would head to the casino just because she nods?"

Magnus couldn't hold back any longer; it seemed that this daughter of his really needed strict discipline, especially now that she was fabricating such lies to slander Aurora.

"Dad, I'm not lying to you. Zachary went to the casino because he was led astray, and Aurora was the one behind it."

Ivy didn't realize that once labeled a liar, even if she spoke the truth, she would end up like the boy who cried wolf.

Especially since she had no evidence against Aurora and was merely speaking ill of her, which only incited Magnus's displeasure-a fact Aurora had long understood. Hence, she never spoke ill of Genevieve and the others in front of Magnus and Grandpa Montgomery. From her return, she had been crafting a good image for herself.

It seemed she had succeeded, for even without being present or speaking in her own defense, Magnus would not believe she was capable of those accusations.

"She's the instigator? Can't you come up with a better story? If Julian owned the casino, I might believe he was helping her. But do you know who owns that casino? It's owned by Mr. Coleman, and I don't need to tell you the kind of influence Mr. Coleman has. Who would dare to pull tricks in his casino? Not to mention Aurora has just returned to the country; how could she possibly connect with Mr. Coleman? People line up to see Mr. Coleman and he wouldn't give them the time of day, let alone a young girl like Aurora asking for favors. And even if someone did influence him, doesn't Zachary have a mind of his own? He knows full well that our family strictly forbids gambling, yet he knowingly committed a grave offense! And here you are, blaming Aurora for it, creating something out of nothing and making unreasonable accusations. Also, regarding your entry into the company, if it weren't for her speaking well of you to your grandfather, would he have agreed?

I saw what happened on the day of the interview. You couldn't answer any of the questions she asked, and yet you have the audacity to complain here?"

"She was deliberately making it difficult for me, those questions she asked-not just me, but no one could have answered them," Ivy still wasn't convinced.

"Making it difficult for you? You're really judging her by your own petty standards. I've seen her interview others, and she asked you the same questions. Based on your performance that day, you didn't deserve to be in the company, yet she still agreed to let you in. That shows she was helping you, and the questioning was merely a formality, just like it was with everyone else. You're still not satisfied today and continue to speak ill of her.
