Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 294: Born Unfair

As Aurora left work, she noticed Ivy had dashed out and hadn't returned. She smirked inwardly, letting Ivy continue on her self-destructive path without needing to stir things

further.

"Heather, how's your face feeling?" she asked, her tone softening now that they were alone in the office.

"It stopped hurting a while ago. Let's head home together," Heather replied, devoid of any anger, as if the assault had never happened.

Aurora withdrew her gaze from Heather's face.

"Good, remember what happened today. Anger is just an emotion that robs us of our sanity. Climb higher, work hard, and when you reach a point where you can't even see her head, that will be the greatest revenge."

Heather knew Aurora was referring to the morning's incident and smiled.

"Yes, I know. The world is full of injustices."

Aurora noticed the forced smile on Heather's lips.

"We can't change our birth, background, or talents, so life is inherently unfair. But this unfairness isn't necessarily bad; it motivates us to strive harder until one day when we stand high, we'll see how ridiculous many people and things can be. That's what growth is."

"Manager, technically you're the heiress of the Montgomery family, used to luxury from childhood, but I feel like you're nothing like Ivy. You're not delicate; you work harder than anyone else, not at all like an heiress," Heather observed, seeing similarities between them.

"Heh... While I say the world is unfair, it's also fair in its way. You think I have everything, but I've lost more than you can imagine," Aurora mused.

"Manager, what are you talking about? I don't understand at all," Heather confessed, looking at the young woman in front of her, whose eyes seemed to hold depths of incomprehensible experiences.
