Theresia chuckled, "Is the person Lisa or Elowen?"
Elowen still hadn't given up on reclaiming her position.
Beverley shook her head, replying, "It's a forthcoming rival in love."
Leopold slightly furrowed his brows, wrapping his arm around Aurelia, "Sweetheart, don't worry. No one could possibly be your rival."
Aurelia thought sarcastically, "The number of women eager to be by your side could circle the equator ten times over if they held hands."
"Why not tell me about all your childhood sweethearts and close female friends, so I don't end up being the idiot."
"There's no such person," Leopold asserted without hesitation.
Aurelia pursed her lips and thought, "What about Megan?"
His dishonesty only proved there was something he was hiding.
Noticing her suspicion, Leopold stroked her head, "Honey, there's really no one. It's just a game, so don't take it seriously."
Beverley interjected, "Leopold, Tarot isn't a game, and it's quite accurate. Shall I read your cards again?"
"No need," Leopold dismissed coolly.
To Aurelia's mind, if he had a girlfriend in the past, he would never admit it. After all, he was as cold and unyielding as an iceberg, his thoughts frozen within.
"Bev, Tarot seems interesting. Could you teach me how to read the cards?" she subtly changed the subject.
"Sure." Beverley nodded.
In the grand hall, Lisa arrived.
Upon seeing her, Arnold's brows furrowed, "What are you doing here?"
Lisa tried to keep her composure, "I am the daughter-in-law of the Stirling family. It's only natural for me to attend the Stirlings family dinner."
