Megan's face flushed, shouting, "The title of Mrs. Stirling will always be mine, and no one is going to take that from me. But don't worry, I'll take good care of Kane. He won't be shortchanged."
Her smile was sinister as she considered a spacious plot in the Stirling family mausoleum, a peaceful resting place for Kane.
A cold glint flickered in Aurelia's eyes, "I know you had something to do with Kane's predicament. I've warned you, harm Kane, and I'll make your life a living hell."
Megan let out a scornful laugh, her eyes dripping with contempt for Aurelia.
"If you think some petty Facebook slander can touch me, then, by all means, post away."
Aurelia's lips curled into a sly smile, "I've always believed in giving people a taste of their own medicine."
With that, she turned on her heels and left, her mission accomplished for the day.
Megan took a seat, sipping on her juice, waiting for Leopold to return, but he never did. He had already left with Aurelia.
On the drive back, Leopold felt that Aurelia was acting strangely.
"You didn't ask me to this club just to lure Megan here, did you?"
Aurelia's eyebrows arch mockingly, "You're afraid I'll lay a finger on her?"
"Now's not the time to deal with her," Leopold said gravely.
A flash of anger crossed Aurelia's face, "And when is the right time? After she's succeeded in killing Kane?"
"Aurelia!" Leopold steadied her shoulders, "Please, don't rush things. I have a plan, and she won't be able to keep this up much longer."
Aurelia didn't buy his assurances. He was just too sentimental, and the child Megan was carrying might be his. The promises of chastity were mere fairy tales to deceive.
Men were not reliable, so she could only count on herself.
"I know what I have to do. We have nothing to do with each other anymore. If it weren't for Kane, I wouldn't even want to cross paths with you," she spat bitterly.
Leopold let out a helpless sigh, "You're speaking in anger again."
