Chapter 659 Megan detested being compared to Aurelia.
In her mind, Aurelia was like Helen of Troy, a master at ensnaring men’s hearts.
Lana snorted. "You know, | had almost forgotten. Back when Aurelia was around, we girls were all fine and dandy. Ever since you took over, Katie and Catherine have had one mishap after another, nearly ending up dead. You must be the one pulling the strings, you spiteful witch." Megan's face flushed with anger. The truth was, she had orchestrated those incidents, but those two had the luck of the devil, escaping unscathed. It was infuriating.
"Dont talk nonsense! I'm not the type to waste ton such pettiness.” Lana scoffed, "What goes around, comes around. Better start racking up sgood karma for that baby in your belly, or it might not even see the light of day.” Megan was seething. That bitch, how dare she curse her unborn child? “Honey, she's cursing our baby. Aren't you going to say something?" Leopold retorted, "She's not wrong. You should focus on doing good, lest fate takes its toll. And if you're behind those incidents, I'll leave you in a heartbeat.” With those words, he swept Lana into the car and drove off.

He realized that Megan was quite a handful, even more so than Sheryl, who didn't care about his affairs outside as long as her position remained secure.
But Megan was hell-bent on keeping Leopold on a short leash. As if he was the type to be tied down.
Even Aurelia couldn't keep him, so what chance did she stand? No wonder she was quickly falling out of favor.
"Megan; Fredric advised, "a woman should know her limits. Stop making a scene. Go hand learn a thing or two from your sister-in-law." Megan felt like banging her head against a wall. If only she had the power to make Leopold stay.
At Blossom Villa, Aurelia was getting ready for bed.
As she was about to turn off the lights, her phone buzzed with a Whatmessage.
[Sleeping?] [If was, could I reply? I'm in bed but not asleep yet.] [I'm outside.] Aurelia rolled her eyes, got out of bed, and peeked through the curtains. Sure enough, Leopold's luxury car was parked outside.
She didn't feel like going down but eventually decided to step out.
Leopold had showered before coming over because he knew she hated the scent of another woman's perfon him.

“This afternoon,” he replied nonchalantly.
Aurelia glanced at him quietly. Shouldn't he be snuggled up with his mistress right about now? What was he doing here? Was Megan standing in his way? That would be just like her; not letting him go would be no surprise.
“You've been pretty busy these last couple of days. Last night with Katie, today doting on Lana." Leopold wrapped an arm around her slim waist and asked, “Are you jealous?" “Pfft.” Aurelia sneered, “Why would | be jealous of my ex-husband? If anyone's drowning in jealousy, it's Megan." Leopold sighed. “I'd actually like to see you jealous." “Well, I'm not going to give you that satisfaction.” Aurelia raised an eyebrow slightly. Men, huh? They're never satisfied. The mistress is better than the wife, the secret affair more thrilling than the known, and the unattainable always seems the sweetest.
What you can't have is the treasure; but once it's obtained, it often just becomes worthless.
Leopold pinched her cheek. “You heartless woman.
She smirked. “Only the heartless cout on top. If | were like Megan, stick to you like glue every day, you'd be sick ofand ready to kickout.” A heartless person can't be wounded. Love-struck fools are just asking for a lightning strike, and they never end well. [thas always been so.
Leopold cupped Aurelia's face. If she were really that clingy, he wouldn't mind. In fact, he'd love her to stick to him 24/7, never apart for even a minute.
“Why don't you give it a try?"
