Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 496: The Master of the R Family

Susan's words shocked not only the media but even Hayden. Moments ago, he had been working hard to pave the way for her future in the entertainment industry, hoping her career wouldn't suffer. Yet, to his surprise, she chose to leave it all behind.

In this battle of love, Susan had lost everything, left broken and bruised. She had no desire to continue. No longer willing to present her best self in front of the camera every moment of every day, she simply wanted to rest and live as an ordinary person.

She wanted to marry Marcos. He was the only person, apart from her parents, who had shown her genuine care. She knew her reputation was in shambles. Staying in the entertainment industry would only invite more hatred. She was well aware of what kind of family the Giron family was.

For Marcos, and for herself, she decided to quit. Besides, she could always return to the Simmons family and take over the family business. She wasn't out of options.

"This concludes today's press conference. I've said everything I needed to say. From now on, please stop following my life. I just want to be an ordinary person."

With those words, Susan stood up and bowed deeply to everyone. The cameras caught Hayden's dumbfounded expression, clearly indicating he hadn't been informed of this decision.

"Oh, the soap opera has reached its finale," Asher remarked, shutting off his tablet. The ending was unexpected.

"I didn't think she'd actually quit the entertainment industry. Has she really figured things out?"

"Probably the result of mounting pressure," Asher speculated. "The relentless media attacks these past few days, combined with Hayden's coldness, must have completely broken her spirit. A divorce certificate and an announcement to leave the spotlight- Susan lost both her career and her love today. For someone so proud, to say such things must have been a significant blow."

Even Aurora, who had always been critical of Susan, couldn't help but see her in a different light. A faint smile curved Aurora's lips. "Stepping away from the chaos-there's nothing wrong with a life like that."
