Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 417: Everyone Is Shocked

Perhaps it was because Ian had seen Gemma's true colors, but now any time she touched him, he felt nothing but disgust.

"Let go. This is your problem, and I'm not getting involved," Ian said impatiently, shaking off Gemma's hand.

"Ian, please help me. I'm begging you," Gemma pleaded, her voice soft and pitiful.

Even the others couldn't help but feel bad for her. She was, after all, a beautiful woman practically begging Ian for help.

"Ian, if you really have a connection with the president, just help her out. It's not a big deal," Leonard said, trying to mediate.

Ian glanced at Leonard and saw shades of his former self in him. Once, he too had been deceived by Gemma's facade.

"I don't want to discuss anything unrelated to work while I'm here. If you want help, deal with it yourself." As soon as the elevator doors opened, Ian stepped out without looking back.

Gemma stomped her foot in frustration. How could she possibly face Aurora and apologize? And if she didn't apologize, who knew what Aurora might do to make her life miserable?

The truth was, Aurora hadn't even given the incident a second thought. She rarely wasted energy on people who had no real connection to her. Someone like Gemma wasn't even worth her anger.

However, what Aurora didn't know was that the interview she'd given earlier had already gone viral. Her name was once again dominating the headlines.

Aurora sighed when she saw the news. She wasn't a celebrity, yet somehow she kept ending up in the spotlight every few days. At least this time, it wasn't a negative story. "The Young and Beautiful Mastermind Behind Sun Company,"" read the headline in bold letters.

Aurora nearly spit out her coffee. Young and beautiful? She wasn't exactly old, but the media definitely loved to exaggerate. Still, she understood that flashy headlines were necessary to grab attention.
