Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 896: Aveline's Plea

Dorian watched as Aveline was carried onto the helicopter by Orion. It was only then that he realized how powerful her family truly was. He had always believed his own family was well-off and that one day he could win her over. Who would have thought that Aveline came from a family so influential that even the school principal treated them with immense respect?

For a long time, people like Celestia and Liora had assumed that Aveline was with Orion for his money. But now the truth was out-they had been childhood sweethearts all along. This fairy-tale-like story, unfolding in real life, left everyone stunned.

Celestia, remembering how she'd repeatedly offended Aveline, felt a chill run down her spine when she thought about Aveline's formidable parents.

Meanwhile, Solene was sobbing uncontrollably, her face streaked with tears as she kneeled before the principal. "Principal, I beg you, please don't fire my father. If he loses this job, how will my family survive?"

Lee, who had enjoyed a close relationship with the principal, knew that the principal might have turned a blind eye in other situations. But this time, the person they had crossed wasn't ordinary-it was Julian.

"This situation is entirely your fault," the principal said, his tone cold. "As a teacher, you broke the law and abused your position. And you-out of jealousy-hurt another student. Let this be a lesson for all of you."

"Principal, just who is Aveline's father?" someone asked, echoing the question on everyone's mind.

"That's what Lee wanted to know as well."

"Her father is none other than the legendary Julian Barnet! He's a man of myth, an unstoppable force in the business world for decades, spanning industries and investments. And don't even get me started on his family background-it's as vast and intricate as his empire.

"Crossing him? Do you have any idea how easily he could buy this school and kick me out? Forget about him; even her mother is not someone to mess with. She's the head of the Montgomery family, one of the four great aristocratic houses. Their holdings here in Clothville are just a fraction of their empire. They dominate markets across Europe and New York.

"If I were to put it simply, their wealth is enough to circle the globe countless times. Considering all this, you should count yourself lucky that the punishment was so lenient.
