Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

For an order of such magnitude, coupled with the existing rapport between Victoria and Michael Bardem, Tina would have been the ideal person to handle it. Her presence alone could have guaranteed success. However, her health had deteriorated to the point where she couldn't endure the strain of long-distance travel. Mio Walsh, the company's vice president, volunteered to take her place. It wasn't an unreasonable decision-after all, his position entitled him to handle such matters.

Tina was well aware of Mio's ambitions but found herself with little choice. Her frail health left her no room to argue. Whatever his motives were, as long as they benefited the company, she could tolerate them.

But fate had other plans. Against all expectations, the order ended up in Aurora's hands. Even Tina hadn't foreseen this outcome.

"That child has always been capable," Tina said with a comforting smile.

"She's very much like you, Master," Erica replied. "Even though Aurora didn't grow up in the R family and wasn't formally trained, her abilities are evident. If it's her, she could perfectly inherit your position. That way, no one would dare covet the family head's seat anymore."

Seeing Tina grow weaker by the day, Erica felt a pang of sorrow. Tina had suffered so much. How wonderful it would be if someone could step in and ease her burdens, sparing her from fighting alone.

"If I wanted her to become the family head, do you think I'd need to go through all this trouble?" Tina responded with a trace of helplessness. She recalled the moment she had drugged Aurora all those years ago-it was then that she had decided the path Aurora would take.

Aurora was meant to live as the cherished little princess of the Montgomery family, far removed from the entanglements of the R family. Whatever pain or hardship arose, Tina was willing to bear it alone.

"Master, I heard Mio was quite confident about securing this deal. You know how narrow-minded he is-this isn't just a small order. If he's discovered Miss Aurora's identity, I'm afraid..." Erica trailed off, her worry evident.

Ever since Mio Walsh had seen Aurora at the company, Erica had known trouble was brewing. A man like Mio, with his calculating nature, would surely grow suspicious and investigate.

Because of this, Tina had instructed Julian to find a way to lure Aurora back to Clothville. But now the two had crossed paths again. If Mio discovered the truth, he certainly wouldn't let the matter rest.

Tina knew Mio's character well. Over the years, she had seen his ruthlessness firsthand. He was the type to stop at nothing to achieve his goals, always preferring underhanded methods.

"I understand. Keep an eye on his movements. If anything happens, report to me immediately."

current condition made it impossible for her to personally intervene. If the other members of the R family learned of Aurora's existence, they would undoubtedly force her to return and inherit the family business.
