Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 840: The Encounter

Aurora listened quietly as Rebecca recounted her past with Mio. After a pause, she finally spoke.

"Love is one of the hardest things to explain," Aurora said softly. "And people... they're never entirely good or bad.

"For instance, there was a time when he almost killed me-left me to drown at sea. I thought I'd never see Julian again. I hated him so deeply back then.

"But later, when I returned to the family, I learned about his past. I began to understand why he became the person he is today.

"He has no friends, no lovers, no family-no one standing behind him. He only has himself.

"If he didn't fight his way up, he would have forever remained the one trampled underfoot. We might see his methods as despicable, but do you think he ever truly wanted to live that way?

"During the family meeting, he voluntarily resigned. Even though the situation was in his favor, he gave all his shares to me.

"He hurt me, yes. But he also saved me. And eventually, I came to realize that his desire to lead the family wasn't just for personal gain-it was to change the future of the R family.

"For years, he's been manipulated by Mr. Grant. His life wasn't as easy as we imagined. "So, I think good and evil don't matter as much anymore. What matters is your own heart. Your heart will tell you whether or not you truly love him."

Rebecca was stunned. "You're saying that before he resigned, he gave all his shares to you?"

"Yes," Aurora replied. "Didn't you know? Mio's sudden change in behavior always puzzled me. Now I finally understand. Everything he's done... it's very likely all because of you.

"You hurt him, but maybe that's what made him realize his past mistakes. No wonder he said he'd spend the rest of his life repenting for his sins before he left."

"He changed... for me?" Rebecca asked, her voice trembling with disbelief.

"I think so." Aurora said with a nod. "That day. the way he looked at, vou-it was the look
