Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 766

"You can say what you want about others, but don't talk about my mother like that," Aurora said, taking two sips of tea to calm her anger.

"Maybe she's a good mother to you, selfless even. But for the family, she's a selfish person."

Aurora frowned slightly, still displeased that he spoke poorly of Tina. "What do you mean by that?"

"As the head of the family, every decision she makes should prioritize the family's interests. Yet, she hid the fact that you existed. We only found out recently that when she left all those years ago, she had a child outside the family."

Aurora struggled to grasp his meaning. "Why would my mother hide my existence from you?"

"To explain that, we have to go back a long way. Do you have the patience to listen?"

"I came here to learn the truth," Aurora replied.

"Even if you hadn't come, we would've found you," Mr. Elderstone said with a smile.

"For what reason?"

"To inherit the family legacy, of course. The R family and the R Corporation will both be yours," Bramwell Elderstone said boldly.

Aurora, having spent years navigating the business world, never believed in free gifts falling from the sky. And even if they did, they wouldn't land on her lap.

By the old man's logic, this was clearly a good thing. If it was so great, then why had her mother faked her death and refused to acknowledge her existence?

Between Bramwell Elderstone and Tina, Aurora's loyalty was firmly with her mother. However, she also needed Elderstone to reveal the true secrets of the R family.
