Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Aurora's sudden intimidation silenced the entire room. No one dared to hide the truth anymore. One after another, they came forward, eager to confess.

"Miss Montgomery, someone approached me that day and asked me to do something for them. One of the ladies gave us an ointment. She told us to apply it behind our ears, take some pictures, and post them online."

"I was told the same thing," another added.

Aurora's voice turned cold. "How much did they pay you?"

The group exchanged uneasy glances, reluctant to answer. They were embarrassed to admit that what they thought was a generous reward had caused significant damage to Aurora's company.

Aurora's gaze sharpened. "Not going to say anything?"

Finally, one of them spoke up, bowing her head in shame. "They gave us ten thousand dollars as a deposit and promised another ten thousand after the task was done."

The group's guilt was evident. Their reckless actions, driven by greed, had caused chaos that others now had to clean up. At the time, they had thought it was harmless- just a few blisters they could blame on a perfume allergy. Who could prove otherwise?

But they underestimated Aurora Montgomery. She wasn't just anyone. In a short amount of time, she had not only managed the crisis but also uncovered the truth. Everyone in the room couldn't help but feel a sense of respect for Aurora. She was young, yet her decisiveness and resourcefulness were unmatched.

"A generous deal, indeed. Twenty thousand dollars each, for ten people... That's two hundred thousand. And then they hired an army of internet trolls to amplify the noise," Aurora sneered.

"Miss Montgomery, we've told you everything. Can you let us go now?" one of them pleaded.
