Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

"There are too many people involved in this matter. I can't tell you all the truths one by one. If it wasn't for some specific purpose, do you think Mio Walsh would even approach Ivy?" Julian sneered.

"My sister isn't as bad as you make her out to be!" Zachary protested angrily. From Julian's perspective, Mio Walsh was nothing special, and Ivy was equally worthless.

"Oh? Then tell me, what exactly is so great about your sister? Is it her looks? Her abilities? Or her net worth in the billions?" Julian's sharp questions left Zachary utterly speechless.

With a cold chuckle, Julian added, "If she has none of those things, then tell me-does she possess a kind heart or a gentle nature? Even these basic virtues are absent in her. To me, she's nothing but a vain, insidious, and cruel woman! She lacks even the slightest trace of humanity and will do anything to achieve her goals. Let me tell you, Mio Walsh wouldn't like her, and neither would any other man!"

"You..." Zachary trembled with rage. "My sister isn't as terrible as you claim. You're the ones who've been disrupting our peaceful lives. After we were driven out of the Montgomery family, everyone outside called us shameless, but it's not like we could choose our origins!

"My sister fell from the position of a noble daughter to that of an illegitimate child. Do you have any idea how hard that was for her? How many jobs she had to try before she found one she could keep? To you, she may not be a good person, but for our family, she has sacrificed so much. She's not as worthless as you think."

When Genevieve was in trouble, Ivy begged for help everywhere. When Zachary was held hostage by gamblers, Ivy ran around trying to save him on her own. Whatever Mio Walsh's intentions, at least he had saved her.

"Enough. If you're here for Ivy, I don't have the time to waste on this useless talk," Julian said coldly, clearly intent on ending the conversation.

To others, Ivy might be an angel, but to him, she was nothing more than a disgusting parasite-a maggot that clung to its host, shadowing him everywhere.

"No, Mr. Barnet," Genevieve interjected quickly, steering the topic back to its focus. "We came here to discuss the incident where they fell into the sea. There are some details I need to clarify with you."

"Go ahead. Say everything at once and get it over with," Julian replied impatiently.
