The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 578

"Look, I hope you get your act together and stop sneaking off on holiday with my husband," Megan spat out the words and stormed off, her irritation palpable.

Aurelia fumed even more. If it weren't for the need to lure the enemy into the trap, to take down the AK Group once and for all, she wouldn't have gotten caught dead vacationing with Leopold.

Leopold, the tyrant himself, clipped her wings and forbade her from being with others. If not for his oppressive ways, she would have remarried long ago instead of being reduced to his casual fling.

Dinner was a tense affair, with five people seated around the table. The atmosphere was thick with unspoken conflict.

Megan sat beside Leopold. "Honey, maybe we should dine separately. I'd love a private meal with you," she suggested.

William couldn't help but roll his eyes and retorted, "Uncle Leopold is here to hang with us. You're the tagalong. If anyone should dine alone, it's you."

Megan shot him a glare. "I'm your Uncle Leopold's wife. We're family."

William replied with a slow, deliberate tone, "Uncle Leopold never treats his wives like family. Besides, he's so quick to change them out, you could be next on the chopping block."

Leopold massaged his temples, feeling speechless. Was this little guy supposed to be helping him or hurting him?

Megan nearly choked on her outrage. The boy's sharp tongue was lethal.

"Leopold swapped out his old flames because he didn't like them. But he loves me. We're not getting divorced. We're in it for the long haul," Megan asserted.

William made a grotesque face. "Ma’am, no offense, but you're no beauty queen, and your figure's seen better days. Uncle Leopold’s not blind. How could he possibly fancy you?"

Skyler picked up the thread. "She's not as pretty as Aurelia. Aurelia is the most beautiful girl on the planet."

Megan was on the verge of explosion, fury rising like a volcanic eruption.

"I am the belle of Elysium, and I'm not wearing makeup during my pregnancy. Every woman's figure changes with pregnancy, but I'll bounce back."

William curled his lip mockingly. "Pretty girls don't need makeup. Makeup is for covering up. My mom never wears any."

Skyler nodded vigorously in agreement. "William's right."
