Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

When that name slipped from Genevieve's lips, Ivy's face immediately changed.

"I knew it! It's her!" Ivy exclaimed, her suspicions confirmed. Between Kimberly and Aurora, she had always thought Aurora was the more likely culprit.

She had seen Genevieve's medical records before and knew about her coronary heart disease. If Kimberly had called, it could only have been for mockery. But now that Paul had turned over a new leaf and stayed by her side, Kimberly had no reason to go out of her way to meddle in their lives.

Moreover, Ivy had observed Kimberly's current state-completely different from before. It was unlikely that she would be involved in such incidents.

Aurora, however, was a different story. The grudge between them ran too deep. Even at this point, Aurora refused to let her go.

Zachary, unaware of the underlying events, asked hesitantly, "Mom, could you have made a mistake? How are you so sure it was Aurora?"

"Do you think I wouldn't recognize her voice? Even if I forget everyone else in this lifetime, I will never forget her voice," Genevieve replied, shaking her head in resignation.

"I went to the Montgomery family for help because of Zach's situation. Aurora must have heard about it and deliberately called to provoke you," Ivy said, her anger simmering.

"Let it go. Isn't Zach back now? There's no point dwelling on it," Genevieve said, trying to calm the tension. Then her gaze shifted. "And who is this?"

Genevieve had no intention of getting further entangled with the Montgomery family. For one, they were powerless now, and Montgomery's influence over them was effortless. For another, Genevieve had lost her previous drive to fight. All she wanted was to live a quiet life.

"Mom, let me introduce you. This is Mio Walsh, my boyfriend. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't know what to do, and Zach wouldn't be here now," Ivy said, her mood brightening at the mention of Mio Walsh.
