"Enough, Lizzy, Leopold isn't a man you can toy with. Better stay in your lane or I'll send you back to Freysland." Lisa cut her off, having her own intentions. As long as Leopold was with Aurelia, Arnold would lose hope and shift his attention towards her.
Lizzy puffed out her cheeks in frustration. Why could Lisa pursue the man she loved and she couldn't? If Lisa could get Arnold, why can’t she pursue Leopold?
Seeing Leopold enter the hall, she rushed over to greet him, "Hey, I'm Lizzy, Lisa's sister, remember me?"
Leopold was as cold as ice, he nodded slightly out of politeness and headed upstairs.
A sense of disappointment washed over Lizzy. Leopold was unlike any man she had met. Other men would be entranced by her, but he barely glanced at her, cold as a block of ice.
"It’s my second time here, and this place is so big, can you show me around?" She tried to follow but was stopped by the house staff. The Stirling Mansion had strict security measures, guests were not allowed upstairs unless escorted by the host.
Leopold didn't respond at all and disappeared around a corner.
Lizzy bit her lip and turned around only to see Elowen approaching.
How could a lively party like this be without her?
She sighed at Lizzy, "I guess you don't know I used to be Leopold's fiancee. Unfortunately, I was replaced by Aurelia. Have you heard of her? She’s such a bitch and loves to lure other people’s men. Competing with her for a man isn't an easy task."
Leaving her words hanging in the air, she went upstairs.
At this moment, Aurelia was in Kane's room, watching cartoons with the children.
Nina whispered into Kane's ear, "I just saw your parents kissing."
Kane blinked. It seemed they had made up, which put his mind at ease.
He turned to Aurelia, "Mom, do you like the ring dad gave you?"
