Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 403: The Verdict Is Set

Paul's words held little weight compared to Eric's revelation. Paul had never told him anything-how did he know?

The girl beside him, far more excitable than Paul or Kimberly, reacted instantly. Emily's voice rang out, "What? You're not their child?"

"What? Because I'm not their child, you don't want me anymore?" Eric turned to look at the noisy woman beside him. She was nothing like Aurora-completely different in every way. So what spell had he fallen under that made him let her stay by his side?

Was it really because of her joke about "keeping him for a month"? Truth be told, his current wealth could easily buy out the entire Langdon family without breaking a sweat.

He despised loud, chatty people the most, yet somehow, he tolerated this chirping little bird who never stopped talking in his ear.

"How could that be? We agreed-one month is one month!" Emily shook her head firmly and clung to his arm even tighter.

At the same time, her mind raced, filling in all kinds of melodramatic backstories. Judging by the situation, Eric must have been born into a poor family, abandoned by his parents, and later adopted by Paul.

Poor boy. If only she'd saved up more pocket money, she could have extended their "arrangement" for a few more months.

Eric caught Emily's gaze and immediately knew her imagination was running wild again. This girl loved romance novels and idol dramas-she was probably cooking up some grand story about his origins.

"I'm warning you, don't overthink it. Whatever you're imagining, you're wrong!" Eric knocked lightly on Emily's forehead. She definitely wouldn't think in a positive direction.

"Okay, I won't." Emily gave him a sympathetic look, as though she understood that this must be a secret he didn't want others to know.

What should have been a serious and startling revelation was completely derailed by Emily's antics, and the atmosphere lost all gravity.
