Chapter 590 Leopold pressed his hand to his forehead, pretending he hadn't heard a thing.
Kids said the darndest things.
Megan was flying into a rage and snapping; William, I've been putting up with you for far too long. Don't think that just because you're a kid, | won't put you in your place. One more outburst, and you're getting a spanking.” If it wasn't for worrying about Arnold coming after her, she'd have wrung his neck.
William pouted, then burst into tears, "Uncle Leo, Mom, She is so mean and is picking on me." Skyler jumped up in a rage, fists ready to fly, "Lay one finger on William, and you'll have to deal with me." Suppressing a laugh with a timely cough, Leopold saw through William's act. With a stern look, he rebuked, “You're a grown-up, and you're going to stoop to arguing with a three-year-old? He's a Stirling. Lay a hand on him, and you'll have to answer to family law." Megan was depressed, and Aurelia's kids were a pain in the ass. They would all be better off dead.
“A three-year-old saying such nasty things. What will become of him when he's older?" William glared at her, “You are the homewrecker, ruining Uncle Leo and my mom's marriage? If | praised you, wouldn't that be messed up?" William mulled over in his mind, “Megan aims to use her child to take Kane's place as heir, but | wouldn't will not let that happen.

Skyler stomped his foot in anger, "You are the homewrecker. We were all having a great time until you showed up. You're a party crasher. Ever since you came along, nobody's happy. You're just awful." Megan wanted to scream. She was the target of everyone's wrath. She should have called Melissa for backup.
With that thought, she sneakily shot Melissa a text.
Ever since Leopold cut off Melissa's trust fund, she was practically a high-society beggar, drowning in debt and pressured by Jessica to marry, not even daring to set foot in the Stirling family.
Now, her lifeline was Megan.
Receiving the message, Melissa hopped in her car and sped over to support Megan, hoping to get Leopold to restore her funds.
After taking a breather, Aurelia, with the kids, continued their hike up the mountain.
An hour later, they reached the summit.
William and Skyler dashed into Sweetland Park, buzzing with excitement. Inside, they could make syrup, build candy houses, and create all sorts of chocolates.
The boys were having the time of their lives.
Aurelia left the bodyguards to watch over them, while she and Leopold set up camp and prepared dinner.
As soon as the tent was up, Melissa arrived.
A flicker of annoyance crossed Leopold's eyes, clearly aware Megan had summoned her.

Melissa plopped down on a chair, unscrewed a bottle of water, and took a gulp. "I haven't hiked in ages. I'm exhausted." “What are you doing here? Did | invite you?" Leopold shot her a look.
Melissa quickly put on a flattering smile, "Come on, Leo, I'm your sister. | know | messed up, but I'm turning over a new leaf.
Forgive me, please?" Leopold was as cold as ice, "You should be saying that to Aurelia.” The last thing Melissa wanted was to grovel to what she considered a nobody. She swiftly changed the subject, “Leo, give me back my trust fund. I'm broke, practically starving here." Leopold didn't bat an eye. Until AK Group was wiped clean, she could kiss her trust fund goodbye.
Without money, she couldn't cause trouble.
“If you're really that strapped for cash, get a job, earn your keep. Or better yet, get hitched, have a man to take care of you." Melissa felt like she was at her wit's end.
