Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 363: Joaquin's Invitation

Aurora had just seen off two visitors and was in high spirits, waiting for Julian to pick her up. However, instead of Julian's car, a black luxury vehicle pulled up in front of her.

"Miss Montgomery, Mr. Alvarez would like to see you. Please come with us," a few black-clad bodyguards descended from the car.

"Do I have to go just because he wants to see me?"

Aurora recognized one of them as Joaquin's secretary.

"Miss Montgomery, unfortunately, you don't have much choice in the matter. I'm only responsible for bringing people over. If you don't cooperate, don't blame me for offending you," the secretary said meticulously.

Aurora glanced around at the several people; they were clearly well-trained professionals, and her chances of escaping were virtually nil. 'Well, it's not like Joaquin is going to eat me, right?" "Fine, I'll come along," Aurora said as she got into the car and quickly made a phone call to Julian. Upon hearing that she was being taken to the Alvarez family, Julian hurried towards their location.

Before Joaquin had even seen Aurora, he received Julian's call, "I'm telling you, if you dare lay a finger on her, you and I are done!"

Hearing the roaring voice, Joaquin raised an eyebrow, "Don't worry, she won't die."

It wasn't long before Aurora was brought to the Alvarez family. It was her first visit to the Alvarez estate, which, unlike the quiet Montgomery family castle, was lively. The Alvarez family's two sons still lived in the villa, so the place was bustling. As people age, they fear loneliness, and with the grandchildren wanting more shares from Joaquin, no one had left the villa.

The situation in the Alvarez family was different from that in the Montgomery family; Oswaldo had only one son, Magnus, so there was no competition. Joaquin had three sons, two of whom were mediocre, except for his eldest son's child Hayden, who was quite exceptional. Although Julian, his youngest, was Joaquin's primary concern, fortunately, he had left the Alvarez family, and the other two sons had no intention of leaving. The villa's assets were substantial, and for their own interests, everyone was fiercely competitive.
