Arnold shrugged. "He's just inherited the family business. If he goes against his father's last wish, Aunt Elara wouldn't stand for it. His mother, Jessica Stirling managed to secure her position in the Stirling family largely because of Elara's support. Jessica is grateful to Elara and wouldn't allow Leopold to back out of the marriage."
Aurelia felt a shiver run down her spine.
She guessed that if she gave birth in the morning, Leopold would whisk her off to city hall for a divorce by afternoon.
If this matter were to become public, it would undoubtedly cause a great stir within the Stirling family and affect Leopold's position.
"It seems Evelyn still has a long way to go," she mused.
Arnold swirled his wine glass. "In Leopold's eyes, she may not measure up to Megan, but Evelyn is far more cunning. She might just be successful in securing her position."
Aurelia was worried. The last thing she wanted was for Evelyn to become the stepmother of her children.
She was even less suitable than Elowen.
Leopold didn't like Elowen. He wouldn't even touch her, let alone have a child with her.
Evelyn was different. If he married her, his decision to avoid having another child might waver.
If Evelyn had a biological child, how could she not treat a stepchild harshly?
"Can you forward me the video?"
A flash of sharpness crossed Arnold's eyes, and without further question, he sent the video.
Aurelia smirked. "Whether Evelyn can become the CEO's wife is none of my concern, but I won't back down from the director's position."
Arnold got her a glass of juice. "I support you."
Back at her apartment, Aurelia forwarded the video to Elowen.
At the moment, Elowen was enjoying a relaxing aromatherapy spa session. Seeing the WhatsApp message, she was furious and immediately fired back on Whatsapp, "Just like sisters, both of you will fail due to your poor fortune."
Aurelia glanced at the message, a mischievous smile playing on her lips.
