If you can't cut it, don’t dream of becoming my wife. Just stay content as a mistress. | know exactly what you're up to. Once the baby is born, I'l make it clear to the Stirling family that the child won't have any claim to the inheritance. As long as it's your offspring, legitimate or not, they can kiss any dreams of succession goodbye." His words struck Megan like a bolt out of the blue, shattering her composure and leaving her head spinning, tears welling in her eyes, every nerve in her body twitching in distress.
She felt like an onion, layers being mercilessly peeled away to reveal the dark heart within.

"The only one who'll be filled with regret is you,” Leopold shot back coldly, “counting on AK Group as your backup plan. Well, think again.” With that, Leopold turned on his heel and disappeared into his room, leaving Megan standing there, petrified, her lips drained of color.
Lana returned, her walk sinuous, heading straight for Leopold's door.
Seeing Megan, she couldn't resist a snide chuckle, "Looks like someone got the cold shoulder. How pitiful” Megan gritted her teeth, "Shut your trap. | just came from Leopold's room, about to head back to mine. We're doing great, you know. He was just giving our baby some prenatal stimulation” "Oh?" Lana raised an eyebrow, her tone dripping with fake surprise, "Well, you better go get some rest. Tonight, I'll be the one keeping Leopold company.
You don't need to worry about a thing" She flashed her room key card, about to swipe it, and Megan's eyes bulged in disbelief.
"How do you have a key card to Leopold's room?" “Because he gave it to me.” Lana swiped the card, stepped inside, and snapped the door shut behind her.

"Wow; Lana exclaimed, "Aurelia, you look absolutely stunning. If you entered showbiz, you'd outshine them all.” Aurelia smiled graciously, "The title of a classic beauty is all yours, and | wouldn't dare compete. Besides, we're heading to Gleaming Gardens, which is like stepping back in time. It's perfect for our vintage look." Tanya and Megan were the last to come out, and upon seeing Aurelia, Megan's eyes blazed with fury, "That witch, all dolled up to seduce Leopold" Tanya had to admit, that Aurelia had a charm that other women lacked, an ethereal mix of innocence and allure that had the rich and powerful falling at her feet.
"If Chad was still alive," she mused, "he'd be completely captivated by a woman like her. Might it would even spark a father-son feud" “Pregnancy is when a man is most likely to stray. It's an unfortunate truth," Tanya said matter-of-factly, "With your figure changing and your skin not what it used to be, it's no wonder he's looking elsewhere. You just have to endure it and think of a way to win him back after the baby comes." Thinking of Leopold's coldness, Megan's heart turned icy. “I sacrifice my figure and beauty, carrying his child, and this is how he repays me?" She couldn't accept it, her heart swelling with indignation and hurt, conveniently forgetting how she got pregnant.
With a surge of anger, Megan confronted Aurelia.
"Is it because of Lana that you feel threatened, dressing up to the nines on purpose?"
