But she couldn't find a single comeback. It was as if she had a lump of a bone stuck in her throat, unable to swallow or spit it out.
Megan quickly interjected, "Melissa, we're best friends. If you help me, I'll help you. Don't let them drive a wedge between us. The people from the lower runs of the social ladder are desperate to infiltrate our circle and they'll do anything to do so. She has probably been with Elvis before I divorced Leopold. That's why Elvis has been avoiding you."
Her words hit Melissa where it hurt, and she cursed, "Sleazy bitches always get what's coming to them."
"I couldn't agree more. Homewreckers always meet a miserable end. You best stay indoors on a rainy day lest you get struck by lightning," Jelena retorted, her curse rebounding onto Megan.
Megan's face turned white, "I'm not a homewrecker. Leopold and I are truly in love..."
Before she could finish, Jelena cut her off. When it came to sharp tongues, Jelena was second to none.
"Save it. I've yet to see how much he loves you. You probably don't know, besides Katie, Catherine is also pregnant. She must be pregnant at least four months, and it's a boy. Your child hasn't even been born and there are already two brothers. If he truly loved you, would he be running around sowing his wild oats? I reckon you must've schemed your way to get pregnant. He must be furious, which is why he's fathering children to spite you. I bet Lana's also got a bun in the oven. Paparazzi have been snapping photos of her holding her stomach recently."
Aurelia was taken aback. Was Catherine also pregnant?
With three lovers pregnant one after another, even Megan with all her cunning wouldn't dare to harm all of them.
Otherwise, the police and the spectators would surely suspect her.
Even if she got rid of all three, there would probably be more children. Men could easily get their lovers pregnant, and women couldn't stop that.
