Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 422: Redemption

The two of them returned to the villa. Just as they got out of the car, they noticed two people standing at the entrance. Upon seeing the car pull up, the pair hurried to greet

Aurora's lips curled into a cold smirk as she recalled how not long ago, Ivy had been wearing an extravagant gown, orchestrating a cruel scheme with beggars to humiliate her. Back then, Ivy's triumphant smile had been anything but apologetic.

"Aurora, I know Zach and I have done many terrible things to you in the past. We came here today to sincerely apologize and hope you can forgive us," Ivy said, reaching out to take Aurora's hand.
