The elevator doors clanged shut, and Yuna spat on the floor in utter disgust.
“What a transparent game she's playing, clear as day to any passerby. She even had the gall to claim she was carrying the heir to the Stirling family. How dared she! Kane is the rightful heir. Whatever's in her belly doesn't even make the list.”
Another bodyguard sighed, “Mrs. Stirling is too kind-hearted, or else how could such a psycho have climbed the ranks?”
“Keep your eyes peeled here, and don't let that troublemaker come near again,” Yuna instructed before she headed to Aurelia's room.
Back in her room, Megan stomped her foot in fury, practically fuming at the ears.
Where on earth had Leopold vanished to?
He couldn't have disappeared into thin air in the hotel, could he?
She glanced at WhatsApp and saw the socialites' gossip group was buzzing.
Mr. Leopold had taken the pregnant Katie for a weekend yacht getaway.
Somebody had snagged photos, providing irrefutable proof.
A sharp pang shot through Megan’s heart. Leopold had indeed left the film lot and gone off to frolic with Katie.
Here she was, on a fruitless vigil from dawn till dusk.
Was this what they called the fisherman reaping the benefits of the quarrel between the snipe and the clam?
She’d been watching Aurelia like a hawk, and she was sure he’d show up eventually. Little did she know that he hadn't spared Aurelia a glance, instead seeking pleasure elsewhere.
Had she overestimated Aurelia's place in his heart? For a moment, she didn't know whether to rejoice or rage.
But one thing was crystal clear. If Aurelia found out about it, she’d be utterly devastated. And how could Megan miss the chance to rub salt into those wounds?
Aurelia was taking a bath upstairs. Without warning, the bathroom door swung open.
It didn't take a genius to figure out Yuna had let him in.
