Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 538

Chapter 538: She Was Sold and Still Helped Count the Money

Early the next morning, Aurora received a phone call. Julian, sitting across from her, noticed her serious expression. The silver fork he held slipped from his hand and clanged loudly against the plate, the sharp sound breaking the silence.

Outside, the heavy snow had finally stopped. Overnight, the world had been blanketed in a thick layer of white, stretching endlessly into a desolate, frozen expanse.

Fortunately, the sun was shining brightly today, its warm rays piercing through the clouds and illuminating the snowy earth.

Heather had woken up even before dawn. She didn't know why, but unease had crept into her heart the night before, refusing to leave. By six in the morning, she was already up, moving about anxiously.

"Are you insane? Go back to bed!" Gemma grumbled, flipping over and pulling the covers higher. The bed in this hotel was so soft, it felt like she was floating on a cloud.

"If it weren't for the company footing the bill, I'd never get to stay in a place this nice," Gemma thought to herself. "Might as well enjoy it while I can." She had no intention of waking up anytime soon and planned to sleep until the very last moment.

Heather had just finished washing up when the room's phone rang.

"What? Miss Candy's having an allergic reaction? I'll be right there!" Heather's voice was tight with urgency.

Hearing the word "allergic," Gemma couldn't help the smirk that tugged at her lips. "Looks like the mango did its job," she thought smugly.

"What's going on?" she asked, feigning ignorance.

Heather looked at her coldly. Last night, Gemma had seemed unusually cheerful.

"Did you put mango in Candy's juice?" Heather's tone was sharp.
