Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 490: The Whole World Knows She Cheated Aurora felt warmth and excitement when she heard about meeting the Bafamily. A man's true love could be seen in whether he was willing to bring her home. Julian's eagerness to introduce her to his family, ensuring their acceptance, showed his genuine desire to build a future with her.

They had already agreed to marry after her graduation. Aurora smiled softly. "Alright, we'll discuss it then. But I'd still prefer if you personally broughtover." "That works. I'll take you there once I'm back. Aurora, wait for me." "Okay." "I'll keep an eye on NE for you. It seems their perflaunch will have to be delayed. Focus on developing your new fragrance, and I'll handle everything else for you." Julian's love for Aurora was sometimes as towering as a mountain, other times as gentle and silent as flowing water. Every matter was handled with care and precision. Meeting such a man was Aurora's great fortune in life. "Julian, I love you." "Good girl. Cback soon. I really miss you." "Oh, con! The food's about to burn, and you two are still being all lovey-dovey. Enough with the 'I love yous,' do you not see the rest of us here?" Asher interrupted, snatching Aurora's phone away.

Julian stared at the now disconnected call, his face filled with displeasure.

Damn you, Asher! "Alright, alright, let's eat. The food's ready, and it's not burnt," Aurora said, helplessly shaking her head.

Denis Vukic had learned from Asher about what Susan had done. He was stunned to know such shameless women existed. Yet the one who suffered the most this twas Marcos.

Susan's day started with an unexpected phone call from her long-silent agent. "Hello..." "Oh my God, are you still sleeping? Get online now! You've caused a huge mess this time!" "I'm just here at htaking a nap. How could I have caused trouble?" "See for yourself. I don't think I can help you with this one." Susan, alarmed by her agent's tone, hurriedly went online. News about her was everywhere. Headlines screamed about a "celebrity's secret rendezvous with a businessman." The images clearly showed her and Marcos sharing a kiss goodbye. Susan's heart sank.

Calls started pouring in, the first being from her mother.

"Susan, what's going on with the news? What's this about you and that Marcos Giron?" "Mom, it's complicated. I can't explain it all right now." "Susan, you need to clear this up! Do you know how this will affect our family?" "Don't worry, Mom. I'll handle it." Despite her assurances, Susan knew this was far worse than the previous scandals that had tarnished her reputation.

It wasn't just about whether anything truly happened between her and Marcos. A single photo was enough to enrage the public-let alone photos and videos that seemed to confirm everything.

Her social media exploded with accusations and insults. The backlash was relentless.

Susan's biggest concern now was the impact on the Simmons, Alvarez, and Giron families. These weren't ordinary families. They were prestigious dynasties that valued their reputation above all else.

Meanwhile, Hayden sat at breakfast, skimming the news as usual. When his eyes caught sight of the headlines, he paused.

The date matched the night Susan hadn't chome. The next day, she had brought up divorce. At the time, he thought she was acting irrationally. Now, everything made sense.

Even though he didn't love her, Hayden found it impossible to tolerate such a betrayal.

Susan, panicked, dialed Marcos. "Marcos, what do we do? The media is reporting on us non-stop. The whole world thinks I cheated!" Marcos had already seen the news. His head throbbed, and Susan's frantic tone only made it worse.

"Susan, calm down. This is complicated. Have you divorced Hayden yet?" Marcos asked.

This was his primary concern.

If the two were already divorced, all she needed to do was release their divorce certificate. That would clear her nfrom accusations of infidelity.

"No, Marcos. That night, I told Hayden I wanted a divorce, but he said it wasn't the right time. He wanted to wait two or three months. Who would've thought this would happen? Marcos, I'm scared..." Her voice trembled as she sobbed softly.

Marcos was equally frustrated. Before meeting Susan, he was a renowned perfumer and heir to his family's business, admired and respected. Now, his involvement with Susan had dragged his nthrough the mud. Susan's reputation was already tainted before this. The public's perception of her had hit rock bottom.

And now, with this scandal, Marcos' life was also under scrutiny. His wealth and personal details were being dissected online.

A knock on Susan's door interrupted her call.

I'll call you later." Susan hung up hurriedly. Hayden had already entered. She rarely locked her doors, especially when at home.

His face was cold as he approached her. Without warning, he slapped her hard across the face.

"Slut." "Hayden, letexplain-" "I don't care whether it's true or not. I just want to know how you plan to deal with this. What explanation will you give to my family?" Hayden's voice was icy as he loomed over her.

Susan's face crumpled in despair. How had she ended up in this mess? She and Marcos had only spent one night together, and now everything was in ruins.

When it rains, it pours. Her luck had run out. "Hayden, I'll have my company handle the PR. But I need your cooperation." "What? You wantto help you act out a charade?" "It's not just for me. It's for you too. For the Alvarez family's reputation. Things are already this bad-what other choice do I have?" Hayden's glare was sharp. "What do you think? Blaming you won't fix this. The priority is minimizing the damage."

He continued coldly, "When celebrities face scandals like this, their partners usually cforward ve to show their relationship is strong. But that only works for ambiguous photos. In this case, there's video evidence. People aren't stupid.

"The best solution is the second option: release our divorce certificate. om If we're already divorced, it's not adultery. At worst, it's you pursuing happiness. That's the only way to limit the damage." "But we're not divorced yet. Do you think we can finalize it now?" Susan asked, her voice trembling. Hayden shot her a cutting look.
