Chapter 654 The elevator doors clanged shut, and Yuna spat on the floor in utter disgust.
“what a transparent gshe's playing, clear as day to any passerby. She even had the gall to claim she was carrying the heir to the Stirling family. How dared she! Kane is the rightful heir. Whatever's in her belly doesn't even make the list" Another bodyguard sighed, “Mrs. Stirling is too kind-hearted, or else how could such a psycho have climbed the ranks?" “Keep your eyes peeled here, and don't let that troublemaker cnear again,’ Yuna instructed before she headed to Aurelia's room.
Back in her room, Megan stomped her foot in fury, practically fuming at the ears.
Where on earth had Leopold vanished to? He couldn't have disappeared into thin air in the hotel, could he? She glanced at Whatand saw the socialites’ gossip group was buzzing.
Mr. Leopold had taken the pregnant Katie for a weekend yacht getaway.

A sharp pang shot through Megan's heart. Leopold had indeed left the film lot and gone off to frolic with Katie.
Here she was, on a fruitless vigil from dawn till dusk.
Was this what they called the fisherman reaping the benefits of the quarrel between the snipe and the clam? She'd been watching Aurelia like a hawk, and she was sure he'd show up eventually. Little did she know that he hadn't spared Aurelia a glance, instead seeking pleasure elsewhere.
Had she overestimated Aurelia's place in his heart? For a moment, she didn't know whether to rejoice or rage.
But one thing was crystal clear. If Aurelia found out about it, she'd be utterly devastated. And how could Megan miss the chance to rub salt into those wounds? Aurelia was taking a bath upstairs. Without warning, the bathroom door swung open.
It didn't take a genius to figure out Yuna had let him in.
“Honey, how about a bath together?” Leopold's gaze roamed her graceful form, unable to look away.
Aurelia gasped, clutching at herself, a mix of embarrassment and anger coloring her voice. “Can you show a little respect?" "Sure, you can decide you are on top or below,” he smirked devilishly, stepping into the tub.
Aurelia was a mess of emotions, trying to push him away, but his formidable strength was unyielding.
"Asshole!" “I love being an asshole to you,” his bold hands brazenly settled on her chest, taking the next move...

When they ordered, Megan showed up.
“Did you know where Leopold was yesterday?" Aurelia gave her a somber glance, striving for composure. "Did you find him?" “I did.” Megan pulled out her phone, flicking to a photo. “He took Katie out to sea for the weekend. They were all lovey-dovey on the yacht" Aurelia peered closely at the photo. It was a candid shot. Though not crystal clear, the man was unmistakably Leopold.
She was shocked. Leopold was right here, and he hadn't returned to Elysium. But who was that man in the photo? Could it have been a Photoshop job? “I told you he had left, but you didn’t believe me. If you had hurried back, you might have prevented their little romance." Megan snorted, her face twisted in mockery.
“I thought he did like you, but | seem to have overestimated your charm. To him, you're nothing more than a plaything. He divorced you because he got bored of the game."
