PopularNovelChapter 589 Aurelia flashed a light smile. “Let's just enjoy our game and forget about her." "Why would Leopold marry someone so... unattractive?" Skyler said, his face scrunched up in confusion.
“That's a question for Leopold," Aurelia snorted, her voice laced with disdain.
Leopold pressed his fingers to his temples, feeling like he'd swallowed a bitter pill but unable to voice his regret.
Megan stepped down from the carriage and sat beside him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Honey, no matter where you qo, I'll be right there with you. For better or worse." Self-loathing curdled in Leopold's gut.
“You keep acting out like this, and you must answer for it if anything bad happens. Don't blame anyone else." Megan pouted. "Unless someone's out to get me, how could anything bad happen?" Leopold eyed her with scorn. "Aren't you scared of AK Group's curse anymore?" A shiver of fear passed through Megan. "I believe you'll protect me." "If you're bent on self-destruction, no one can save you. I'm no Superman. | can't safeguard you in all ways. Your safety is in your hands. If | had almighty powers, you wouldn't even have the chance to sit beside me,’ Leopold said bluntly.
An open enemy is easy to guard against, but hidden threats are deadly. Had he not been so careless, Aurelia wouldn't have been caught off-quard.
Megan's face turned blue in anger. She threatened, "My life is precious. If | die, many others won't survive, either." Leopold chuckled dismissively. "I couldn't care less. There are plenty of women in the world. | can easily find someone younger and more beautiful. It's not like I'll ever be short of women." His words struck Megan like a thunderbolt, leaving her reeling.
If he stopped caring about Aurelia one day, Megan knew her worth would plummet.
The thought alone triggered an emotional earthquake within her. She had clawed her way up by poisoning Aurelia, and her fate was tied to her adversary's. Their fortunes would rise and fall together. She would never burst the restraints unless she could turn the tables and fully replace Aurelia.
“Honey, | want to make a good life with you and grow old together." "Do you even know your place? Unless you contribute significantly to taking down the AK Group, don't even think about it? Leopold's voice was as cold as an icicle.
Megan shuddered, her face paling.
"L.. Ulltry my best." Noticing Aurelia's gaze drifting their way, Megan quickly stretched her stiff lips into an exaggerated, fake smile, pretending to be affectionate.
"Honey, are we going camping on the mountaintop tonight?" “We'll see,’ Leopold replied, already out of the mood for such plans.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAurelia wasn't in the mood, either. It was as if a venomous green snake was coiling around her heart, its toxic fangs gnawing at her insides, making her uncomfortable.
William glanced at Leopold from the corner of his eye.
The old saying, "A single slip can cause a lasting sorrow,’ seemed tailor-made for Leopold.
"Uncle Leopold, did you know my dad went to the city for business? When Lisa delivers the baby brother, they're getting a divorce. Once he's back, he'll be single and free to marry Mommy. Then we can all move back to Goldstone." Leopold's expression darkened instantly.
“Your mommy is a key player at Astral Enterprises. It's unlikely she'll move back to Goldstone." William pulled a face. "You never know. Mommy often says her happiest times were in Goldstone." Aurelia choked on her response, remaining silent and abandoned, and was not in the mood to explain.
Megan's spirits lifted. If Aurelia were with Arnold, it would solve all her problems. She wouldn't have to worry about Aurelia threatening her position anymore.
“I've always known that Aurelia and Arnold are truly in love. | do hope Aurelia becomes my sister-in-law." Skyler stuck out his tongue playfully.
"| can see everyone adores Aurelia. | like her a lot, too." William scoffed, "My mommy is the most beautiful and capable woman in the world. Only a fool would divorce her to marry a lesser woman.’ mmMwWLIII0fifl0&1 mmMwWLIII0fifl0&1 mmMwWLII0fiflO& 1 mmMwWLIII0fifl0&1 mmMwWL1i10fif10&1 mmMwWLIiI0fiflO&1
