Just find someone with solid values to raise and educate him.” Leopold nodded slightly, “I'll see to it.” On the other side of Elysium.
Megan was on the verge of a breakdown. Rumors were swirling that she had poisoned Leopold, and the police were on her doorstep more often than not for interrogations. If it weren't for her pregnancy, they would have detained her already.
She was unfairly taking the fall, and it hurt.
She sent a discreet email to the Boss, pleading for a fall guy to take the heat off her. If she didn’t get help soon, she was done for.

Jewel returned, and Megan immediately grilled her, “Any news on Leopold? What's his condition?” “He's supposedly in an isolation room. No one is allowed to visit. | bet he hasn't woken up yet,” Jewel reported.
Megan groaned, “What on earth is the Boss thinking, hitting Leopold out of the blue? And without givinga heads-up, leavingunprepared. | haven't even set foot in the Stirling family. The Boss should at least secure my spot as the Stirling matriarch before pulling a stunt like this. That way, if something happened to Leopold, I'd be in charge.” Jewel curled her lip, retorting, “The Boss has his reasons, and it’s not your place to question his actions.” Megan glared at her, “Watch your tone. | outrank you, remember that.” Jewel rolled her eyes, “Maybe you should visit the hospital yourself. If you could see him, you'd know exactly what's going on. You are his lawful wife, after all. It's your right to visit, and the Stirling family can't say otherwise.” Megan huffed, “You think | don’t want to? Those bodyguards of his have been bought by Aurelia.

No way they'll letsee him.” A cold glint flashed in Jewel's eyes as she said, “We wanted to frher, to splash the mud on her, but she turned it around on us. That woman is cunning and shrewd.” “How else could she have all those elite bachelors at her feet?” Megan thought of Aurelia poisoning her and felt a surge of hatred, “When will the Boss have the antidote ready? | can’t rest easy until | have it.” “We used to threaten Aurelia with antibiotics, but now we can only trade drug for drug, life for life.” “Your anxiety won't speed things up. The poison is potent, and the Boss has to analyze its composition before creating an antidote,” Jewel explained.
Megan gritted her teeth, “If that poison affects my baby, I'll tear Kane to pieces.” “Relax,” Jewel patted her shoulder, “The Boss won't let Kane off the hook. If he lives, how can your baby rise to power?”
