Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Aurora's legal team worked with remarkable efficiency. On the very sday, they filed a lawsuit with the court, which promptly accepted the case. Now, all that was left was to follow the standard legal procedures. However, lawsuits were never resolved overnight, as the legal process could be time- consuming.

Aurora, unwilling to wait for the court's final verdict, had already coordinated with the ten individuals involved. They were set to hold a press conference the next day.

Those ten individuals knew they had made a mistake. When Aurora approached them for negotiation, they immediately complied. They had no path of retreat. Aurora, however, offered them one final shred of dignity-the right to wear sunglasses during the press conference.

Large sunglasses obscured part of their faces, but their swollen, unhealed features remained visible. Although the medications they had applied had reduced the severity, the damage was still strikingly apparent.

The press conference that day was a grand event. Aurora invited almost every major media outlet. The mishandling of this perfincident could have caused severe damage to the company's reputation. But if handled well, it could turn into an excellent opportunity for promotion and publicity.

The host and reporters were already in position when Aurora entered the venue and greeted the cameras. A significant number of viewers were tuned in to the live stream. The abrupt end of the incident two days earlier had left the public's imagination running wild. Online discussions were dominated by speculation about the perfcontroversy. Most netizens had already guessed the truth: someone had set up Aurora. Many even launched online campaigns to apologize for their previous accusations regarding the "toxic" perfume. Regardless of the uproar online, today's event would finally reveal the truth. Millions of viewers had been waiting eagerly for the live stream.

The host began with sintroductory remarks, but the audience grew impatient as the commentary dragged on. The screen filled with live comments complaining about the host's unnecessary chatter. After more than five minutes, the host finally got to the point.

"Miss Montgomery, I'm sure you have a lot to say about this incident. I'll now hand over the stage to you." Aurora smiled gently and greeted the audience through the camera. "Hello, everyone. Many of you have been following this perfincident closely, for various reasons.

"As the person responsible for this perfume, as well as its creator, I feel it's necessary to provide an explanation for the recent events.

"Our perfhas undergone rigorous testing, with all indicators monitored by third-party inspectors to ensure compliance. There are absolutely no harmful ingredients in it.

"This is the certification of compliance, which many of you may have already seen on our company's website.

"I understand that even the best products may not suit everyone. To address this, I consulted experts.

"This perfis classified as a mild product. Most people won't experience any adverse reactions. For individuals with sensitive skin, the most that might occur is slight redness.

"It is entirely impossible for our perfto cause the severe reactions seen on their faces. After a thorough investigation, we discovered that the condition of these ten individuals was not caused by our perfume. Instead, they had used a substance that irritates the skin, leading to rapid swelling, inflammation, and even abscesses.

"Of course, my words alone may not be convincing. It's better to hear from them directly." Aurora glanced in a certain direction. Heather stepped forward, leading the ten individuals.

All ten wore large black sunglasses, their faces and necks still bearing signs of damage. The cameras zoomed in for a close-up, highlighting the severity of their condition.

One of them stepped forward to speak on behalf of the group. "We owe everyone an apology for this incident. We never actually used Miss Montgomery's perfume."

"If you never used the perfume, why did you accuse Sun Company? Do you hold a grudge against them?" a reporter asked sharply.

"No, we have no grudge against Sun Company." "Then why did you do it? Do you realize how much damage you caused to Sun Company?" "We're sorry. We were manipulated into doing this. We didn't think about the serious consequences at the time. Our actions caused significant losses for Sun Company.

"We sincerely apologize to everyone. There's nothing wrong with Miss Montgomery's perfume. It was all a deliberate act of sabotage on our part to tarnish its reputation. "We hope you won't lose trust in Miss Montgomery's perfbecause of our lies. This is entirely our fault, and we have already faced the consequences we deserve.

"The doctor told us that the substance we used was so harsh that we might have permanent scars. We hope you can forgive us." Their tearful apologies softened the mood in the room. Reporters who had been prepared to ask tough questions hesitated, unwilling to add insult to injury. Instead, one of them shifted the focus. "Who instructed you to do this?" "We don't know her identity. But Miss Montgomery does. You should ask her," the representative replied, clearly fearful of retaliation. They genuinely didn't know Lindsay Gilpin's full identity, only that she cfrom a wealthy family.

"This individual has no personal grievance with my company. As for why they did this, perhaps you can ask them yourselves." "Who is the person behind it?"

"Lindsay Gilpin, the general manager of Gilpin Enterprise. I have substantial evidence in mve possession, and the matter has already been taken to court. Once the results are out, I will share them with everyone."

Aurora had no intention of holding back. Lindsay Gilpin had crossed the line, and Aurora didix't hesitate to expose her in front of the media. With just a few words, the entire nation would soon know the truth. Watching the live stream on her tablet, Lindsay Gilpin was furious. The moment she heard Aurora nher, she hurled the tablet to the ground in rage.

"That damn Aurora! How dare she!" Lindsay grabbed her phone and dialed a number, her anger palpable. But the voice on the other end said, "Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable." She threw the phone to the ground, where it landed next to the shattered tablet. Lindsay was so livid that she paced the room in frustration.
