NovelOnlineSliding into the car, he murmured, "You've lost weight. Are you worrying about Leopold?" Aurelia let out a wistful sigh. "As long as the AK Group's around, the peace of mind is a luxury | can't afford. If anything happens to Mr. Leopold, Kane and | are next on their hit list." Arnold took her hand firmly. comforting, "You've got me, too. | won't let them lay a finger on you or Kane." Her gaze dropped. "A bullet you see coming is one you can dodge, but a stab in the back is a different story.
Those guys are masters of the dark arts. You never know when they might strike with poison." Arnold's voice dropped to a whisper. "My contacts in Verdecalma have been shadowing the AK Group. They've uncovered a secret stash of Blood Reservoirs of AB blood type and found the AK Group would drain their blood regularly. We haven't tracked the blood trail yet, but I'm betting the group's boss has some blood disease that needs frequent transfusions." Aurelia's eyes darkened with thought. Leopold also suspected Geoffrey was battling a severe unmentionable disease, which was why he stayed hidden like a shadow to Skyler.
"Your theory holds water. It's almost certain Tanya's one of the heads of the AK Group, and her son Geoffrey is another. They share the same ambitions. If Geoffrey was Skyler's twin, Tanya would have put Geoffrey in the spotlight and kept Skyler in the shadows. But the opposite's true, which means Geoffrey must have some serious condition that keeps him out of the public eye." Arnold shrugged. "If Leopold knew Tanya's true colors, why didn't he strike? Or did he still care about the family bond?" "Tanya's clock is ticking. She's got a terminal disease. Two alphas can't share one hill. She and Geoffrey have their rifts. Without her, Geoffrey alone at AK Group's helm will be unrestrained." Arnold nodded in understanding. Leopold's concerns made sense.

"My guys will keep digging. We'll unearth Geoffrey's true face." Aurelia looked at him intently. "Arnold, if anything happens to me, you have to protect Kane and William for me.
You're the only person in this world | trust completely." His heart ached at her words, yet they soothed his restless spirit. She trusted him most, not Leopold.
"I won't let anything happen to you," Arnold assured her.
Not long after they left, Megan visited Lisa at her villa.
The thought of Megan poisoning Kane made Lisa fearful, wary of letting Megan near her daughter.
"You're due soon, aren't you? Shouldn't you be resting at home instead of visiting me?" Megan smiled. "Lisa, we're family. Of course, I'm supposed to come and check on you." "You're too kind," Lisa responded with a half-hearted smile.

Megan caressed her belly. "I heard you and Arnold agreed to divorce after the baby's born. Aurelia's been around him a lot lately. Probably, she can't wait to take over." Lisa's gaze sharpened as she looked at Megan. "Word is you poisoned Leopold and are heading for divorce.
Rumors are flying." Megan's face paled, then flushed.
"That's Aurelia's propaganda. It's a bloody slander. How could | poison Leopold? We won't get a divorce. In life and death, | belong to him." Lisa sighed softly. "I always think one should fight for the one he loves. But I've figured it out. Your fight will only hurt him if he doesn't love you back. To love someone is to wish him happy."
