Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 437: No Need in This Lifetime**

NE scrolled through the countless reports, whether they were true or not. The public's hatred for one person had grown so intense that even if her perfume smelled divine, people now boycotted the movies she starred in-let alone the perfume.

Susan noticed the hesitation on NE's face and realized things were falling apart. She spoke up, her tone laced with pleading.

"Marcos, I really didn't want it to come to this. This mess is all because of Aurora. She hates me, so she deliberately showed you these exaggerated reports. You can't let these things cloud your judgment of me. I didn't do any of it.

Honestly, I only took on this endorsement because this perfume reminded me of our past. While we can't turn back time, memories can remain forever in those moments. Marcos, I believe I'm the most fitting ambassador for this perfume.

Didn't you once tell me that *First Love* was inspired by our past? Yes, you want to sell it, but more importantly, it's about cherishing those beautiful memories."

Susan appealed to both reason and emotion, swaying NE further into uncertainty.

Aurora, who had been listening, noticed Susan's mention of their so-called past. It was clear the two shared a deep connection. Aurora couldn't help but wonder-where did the 'beloved' Hayden fit into all of this? If Hayden saw Susan speaking so intimately to Marcos and standing so close to him, what would he think?

She imagined how Julian would react if she herself suddenly brought up another man. He'd surely lose his mind. After all, Julian had been livid when she simply helped Ian try on a tie clip. What chaos would ensue if there were suddenly a mysterious "Marcos" in her life?
