Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 361: Never Apart Again

Magnus was surprised when Ivy suddenly grabbed him.

"Why are you still here?"

he asked. Although he had never ousted Ivy, he thought that after all that had happened, she would be too ashamed to come back to work. However, he had underestimated her.

"Dad, even though I'm not your biological daughter, the years we've spent together are not fake. I've been having a really tough time these past few days," Ivy said, her face haggard, hoping for the gentle treatment from Magnus that she had grown accustomed to in the past.

Speaking of hardships, Magnus, who had been deceived for so many years, was truly the one who suffered the most. His mental state had taken a massive hit and hadn't yet recovered, especially after their scandal had become public. He felt that everyone

looked at him with pity.

Now, the whole world knew he had been cuckolded, spending over twenty years raising another man's son and daughter, which led to his first wife's death out of sheer anger.

Some called him foolish, others called him trash, for bringing an evil woman into their home, thus tormenting his own daughter.

"You're having a hard time? My time has been worse. Let go of me; I'm not your father anymore," Magnus said coldly.

He was not a man who judged without knowing the full story. If Ivy and Zachary had not tormented Aurora in the past, he might not have blamed the adults' grudges on the children.

When Aurora had shared the ordeal she had endured, Magnus realized just how despicable he had been for allowing such venomous children to torment Aurora. Because of Ivy's bullying, he could never forgive her in this lifetime.

"Dad, how can you be so heartless? Remember how you used to hold me when I was little? Anything I wanted, you'd buy for me. You were so gentle. Even though we're not related by blood, you are the only father I acknowledge in my life," Ivy pleaded, hoping that Magnus would remember their past affection and forgive her.

"Yes, I cherished you like a treasure, but what did you do? You and Zachary have always bullied Aurora, framing her," Magnus retorted.

"Dad, those actions were instigated by mom; we were too young to discern right from wrong. I know it wasn't fair to sister, and I've always wanted to apologize," Ivy said, trying to win her way back into the Montgomery family by humbling herself.

"Whether you apologize or not is your affair; sorry, I have to go," Magnus said, seeing through the true nature of Ivy and Genevieve. He had no intention of being fooled again.

The better he treated Ivy, the more unfair it was to Aurora. If only he had realized this sooner, he wouldn't have lost his wife, nor would he have caused Aurora such a traumatic childhood.
