She sprang up from the couch, holding her head high, trying to minimize the height difference.
Fueled by righteous indignation!
"As per the marriage laws, our assets post-marriage are shared. Spending your money is my legitimate right! If you dare to decrease the allowance, I’ll tell everyone in the company that I am your wife! This news will not only shake Astral Enterprises but the whole town too!"
Leopold swiftly lifted his hand, clutching her chin, "Do you think this can threaten me?"
"I don't know, but someone's definitely going to weep rivers."
A wicked smile crept onto her face. The thought of Evelyn's shocked expression and her face twisted in surprise and indignation brought her immense pleasure.
Leopold took note of her subtle reaction.
He believed she was capable of causing such a stir, her unpredictability always out of his control.
"Words can be dangerous. If you don’t watch that mouth of yours, I assure you, you'll regret it."
In reality, Aurelia was just blustering. She wasn't foolish enough to put herself in the line of fire.
"I value my life. I won't do anything to regret unless you force me to."
A cold glint flashed in Leopold's eyes, "Behave, and you'll get what you want, otherwise, the consequences will be unbearable."
He needed to make her aware of the potential danger, to keep her in check.
His fingers tightened slightly, causing a faint pain on her chin, making Aurelia furrow her brows.
Leopold decided not to hold her accountable for Evelyn's situation, his personal interests were more important.
"As long as you don't cut back on my allowance, I'll keep my lips sealed."
Leopold couldn't help but laugh at her greed.
"Get out!"
If she stayed any longer, she was going to drive him insane!
"Deal," Aurelia stuck out her tongue and dashed out like a hare, fearing he might change his mind.
