Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 325: The Truth

Aurora's greatest strength lay in her ability to never speak ill of Ivy or Genevieve. Instead, she presented facts from an objective standpoint, making her words feel comfortable and believable on a subconscious level. Magnus also wanted to promote Ivy, but lamented her lack of initiative, saying, "It's true, she has never faced hardship. Look at her now, spoiled to a fault. She's untouchable, whether it's scolding or speaking kindly, she just throws a tantrum. It's really troublesome."

"Father, if it's just about knowledge, that can be learned, but if her attitude is wrong, there's nothing that can be done," Aurora argued.

"Ivy still sees herself as a little princess, different from everyone else. She never really considered studying hard. In the office, she creates cliques, trying to oust me from the manager's position. She's my sister, and I could overlook these things, but I can't agree to give her the manager's job. It's not a huge role but it's not minor either; it involves dealing with daily trivial and busy work. She spends her days at the company eating snacks, playing games, and watching dramas. How can I be at ease?"

"Aurora, you are right. This girl really is out of control. So, who do you think should take the manager's position?" Magnus asked, swayed by Aurora's reasoning.

"For now, I haven't become vice president yet. Before the handover, I'll consider the selection for the manager carefully. Dad, you don't have to worry about it."

"Aurora, I trust you to handle this. Alright, it's getting late. You've signed such a big contract for the company today, I think you deserve a day off. Go home and rest," Magnus said, patting Aurora on the shoulder.

"Yes."

Since she was about to be promoted to vice president, and the manager's position wasn't too demanding, Aurora accepted Magnus's kind offer and left with her bag. Previously, Julian always picked up Aurora from work. Today, she wanted to surprise him by quietly waiting for him to finish work. It was a peculiar feeling, filled with a sense of freshness, as it was her first time visiting Julian's company. Standing beneath the towering skyscraper, she imagined him standing at the top, overlooking everything below like an emperor in an unreachable height, aloof and solitary.

Reflecting on his tragic childhood and how he had built up the company to this magnitude, she knew he had faced many challenges. With these thoughts, Aurora entered the building, but she forgot one detail. As soon as she reached the lobby, a receptionist approached her, "Miss, may I ask who you are looking for?"

"I'm looking for Mr. Barnet."

Aurora initially wanted to say Julian, but then remembered they didn't know her, and it might seem strange to address him so informally.
