The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 441

Megan was here for the issue about Katie.

"Leopold, is Katie really pregnant, and is the child yours?"

Leopold paused his typing, leaned back in his executive chair, and took a sip from his coffee mug before responding coldly, "That's none of your business."

Megan's face turned upset. "I'm your wife, Leopold. If you fathered a child out of wedlock, shouldn't you have told me?"

Leopold tapped his long fingers on the desk, a cruel smile playing on his lips. "As my wife, you should treat all my children as your own, do you understand?"

Megan's heart pounded. Katie was pregnant before her, so Katie’s child would be the elder. She wouldn't let that happen. No one but her should bear Leopold's child.

"According to the Stirling family tradition, if a mistress gets pregnant, she should be sent abroad to give birth. Shouldn't you start making arrangements for Katie?"

Leopold's gaze darkened. "Indeed, that is a tradition, but it must be suggested by the first wife and decided by the matriarch. You are neither, so you don't have the right to invoke this rule."

Megan felt a surge of frustration. Was she, his wife, without any rights? Was she just a wife in name?

"The second wife is also legally recognized and protected, doesn't the Stirling family code have anything to protect the rights of a second wife?"

Leopold was nonchalant. "The Stirling family code has been modified and perfected by generations of patriarchs and matriarchs. But since all the matriarchs of the Stirling family have been first wives, there's no provision for the rights of the second wife."

Megan wanted to scream. The first wife!

The mere mention of the term made her blood boil!
