Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Lindsay Gilpin never expected her act of revenge to have such severe consequences. Her shares were stripped away. Although she had the Gilpin family behind her and wouldn't have to worry about her livelihood, who would willingly accept such treatment?

And this was only the beginning. After signing the share transfer agreement, she was served with a court summons-Aurora had filed a lawsuit against her.

Lindsay immediately sought help from her lawyer. However, even her lawyer made it clear that the opposing side had solid evidence, leaving little chance of victory. He advised her to mentally prepare for the worst.

If she lost the lawsuit, Lindsay would have to pay a hefty sum. She gritted her teeth in frustration. Damn Aurora! How could someone be so infuriating?

Meanwhile, Aurora felt a sense of relief. The trial process would take some time, as both parties needed to gather evidence.

Aurora worked tirelessly to finish the jewelry she was making for Candy and arranged for someone to deliver it to New York.

She then booked a flight to Rome for the day after tomorrow. Julian was already there, and Aurora had always been fond of that city-a place brimming with romance.

"Julian, I've just about wrapped things up here. I've booked a flight for the morning after tomorrow," Aurora informed him.

"You little bunny," Julian replied, a hint of reproach in his tone. "How could you deal with something so big back home without telling me? Were you trying to make me worry on purpose?"

"Julian, I didn't want to distract you. Besides, I handled it just fine, didn't I?" Aurora's voice softened as she playfully sought forgiveness.

"Yes, yes, you handled it well. Rock already told me everything. I'll let it slide this time, but don't hide things from me again."

"Okay, don't worry. It's getting late. I'm heading to bed now. I'll see you the day after tomorrow."

"Alright."
