The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 711

At the Azure Skies Estate, Megan was fuming with rage. In a fit of fury, she snatched the coffee mug from the table and hurled it to the floor, where it shattered into a thousand accusing pieces.

Kane, that unbearable jerk, was just so darn lucky, each win as infuriatingly solid as the last.

Her eyes bore into Jewel, fierce and unforgiving, "Your people are useless, utterly incompetent. They can't even poison Kane properly. Next time, maybe just use cyanide and be done with it, let him drop dead in a second."

Jewel rolled her eyes, exasperated, "Cool your jets, Megan. What we need now is to keep Leopold on a leash and secure your position. If you off the kid just like that, do you think you'll be able to stick by Leopold’s side? And let's not forget Aurelia. She might look soft and fragile, but even a cornered bunny can bite. If you harm her child, do you think she'll spare yours?"

Megan didn't take Aurelia seriously.

Deep down, she knew that the previous hex hadn't been Aurelia's doing. It was all a ploy to pin the blame on her, giving Megan the perfect excuse to eliminate her rival for good.

"You're giving Aurelia too much credit. Her biggest talent is seducing men, and anything else is beyond her grasp. It's always all bark and no bite with her."

And in the end, both she and Kane would meet their demise at her hands.

Jewel shrugged, "I wouldn't be so sure. Don't underestimate her; for all you know, she might be playing possum."

Megan sneered dismissively, "A rabbit will always be a rabbit, incapable of taking down a tiger. I hold her fate in my hands. If I want her gone by midnight, she won't live to see the dawn. Get to work. Time to poison Kane again to keep Leopold preoccupied. Once my child is born, we'll send Kane to the great beyond."

Jewel grimaced, "Kane won't be leaving the Stirling Mansion any time soon. It won't be easy to get to him."

"Then lure him out," Megan grunted. She refused to believe he would stay holed up in the Stirling Mansion forever.

A few days later, there was a party at the Muse Club. Aurelia asked Leopold to accompany her.

She even posted about it on Facebook, ensuring everyone knew she'd be attending the event with her ex-husband.

Leopold saw her post too.
