Rolling her eyes, Lana shot back, “Even if we are, what can you do about it? Everyone knows that Aurelia is way better than you. We all want her to be Leopold's wife again.” Fuming, Megan spat out, "In your dreams, sweetheart. The title of Mrs.
Stirling is mine now and forever." With a cold laugh, Lana retorted, "You haven't even secured your spot yet.

If Leopold wants a divorce, he can have it anytime, without even giving you a heads-up. Don't think he doesn’t know about your dirty little secrets, and he's keeping tabs.
And the reason he can't stand you? It's because you're too vicious. Even the god might get tired of your act and will take away the baby you're carrying." Megan was livid, her face turning a shade of crimson. She raised her hand to slap Lana, but her wrist was caught mid-air.
“Ladies don't settle their scores with violence,” Lana warned, her grip tight, “If you dare hit me, I'll make sure you won't be able to carry that baby to term." Instinctively, Megan protected her belly, “You wouldn't dare. This child is Leopold's." “So what?" Lana shrugged nonchalantly, “If | cause you to lose it, I'll just have to have another one to make it up to him.” She covered her mouth and chuckled, a sound that sent shivers down Megan's spine.
Aurelia admired her fearlessness. Even though she wasn't sure about the true nature of Lana's relationship with Leopold, she acknowledged that Lana was a formidable ally.
Megan was beside herself, gasping for air in her rage.
“My child is worth a thousand of whatever you could produce,” she hissed.
"Oh, really?” Lana mocked, “Playing the innocent card now, are we? We're both mistresses here. Neither of us has any upper hand over the other. Just a heads up, don't even think about crossing me. If | lose even a hair over your schemes, I'll make sure to turn that little thing inside you into a formaldehyde specimen for your collection.” Lana's previous role as a serial killer in a movie lent a chilling credibility to her threat, especially the scene where she preserved her enemy's child in a jar of formalin, a nightmare for many viewers.
Megan, having seen that movie, had the horrific images flash before her eyes. She shuddered violently, let go of Lana's hand, and fled in panic.

Aurelia, you're just too kind, and that's why she managed to take your place." Aurelia just shrugged. Even if she wanted to be less kind, she couldn't. Back then, she was fighting for her life in an ICU bed.
Leopold sat nearby, leisurely sipping his black coffee, seemingly oblivious to the women's .
Tanya approached and sat down beside him, “Leopold, your ladies seem to be at each other's throats. Aren't you going to do something?" Stirring his coffee nonchalantly, Leopold seemed unconcerned, “A little jealousy and bickering among women is normal, isn't it? As long as it doesn't get bloody, why should | intervene over some petty quarrels?" Tanya gave him a long, meaningful look, “You're becoming more and more like your father.” Smiling faintly, Leopold replied, “The student surpasses the master. Unlike him, | won't lose control and play myself to death." Tanya choked on her words.
Chad's kidney transplant had been a success, and he'd survived the rejection phase. Thinking he was in the clear, he'd ignored the doctor's advice and had a fling with his attractive nurse, only to meet his untimely end.
