Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Almost everyone present, except for those out of touch with trends, was familiar with the name "DO." The legendary designer behind that name was none other than their very own Miss Aurora.

"I always thought someone capable of creating such masterpieces must be older," remarked an industry expert. "These days, young designers are often too impatient. But Miss Aurora, at only 22 years old, has already reached such heights. Truly remarkable."

"Exactly! My daughter has been talking endlessly about wanting to buy DO's designs, but the waitlist takes months. So DO is Miss Aurora? Can I get her autograph for my daughter?" someone chimed in.

Once Tina revealed Aurora's identity, the room buzzed with excitement. Aurora, however, felt a mix of helplessness-she hadn't even been aware of her alias as DO. At the moment, her primary concern was uncovering the truth about Julian being the father of her child.

"Aurora is more than capable of taking on the role of family head. Mr. Grant, do you have any objections now?" Tina asked pointedly.

Mr. Grant, without Tina's prompting, had already started reviewing the documents. While the two companies Aurora managed together were not as large as R Corporation, that was understandable-after all, R Corporation had a century-long history. Considering Aurora's companies were only three and six years old, their performance was impressive and full of potential. Reluctantly, Mr. Grant shook his head. "No objections."

"Good. From this day forward, my daughter will be the next family head. Tomorrow, I will officially hand over both the company and the family to Aurora," Tina declared decisively.

"Yes, Madam," everyone replied in unison.

Aurora finally processed the reality-she was now the head of the family. Thinking back to when she first returned, she had expected a tough battle to claim this position, but it turned out to be far easier than she imagined.
