On a Friday night, a party for celebrities was held. Aurelia arrived in the company of Leopold, who was playing the role of her personal bodyguard for the evening.
They had barely settled into their seats when Megan made her entrance.
The moment her eyes locked onto Aurelia, Megan beelined straight for her.
Megan harbored a serious suspicion that Aurelia was behind her child's kidnapping. The animosity between them ran deep, and she believed that her child posed the greatest threat to Kane, the ill-begotten offspring of Aurelia's schemes.
If the child were a boy, Megan was certain Aurelia would waste no time trying to eliminate him.
Casting a glance at the man seated beside Aurelia, Megan quipped, "Isn't this your latest boy toy?"
Aurelia curled her lips into a sardonic smile. "What are you on about, Megan? He's my bodyguard."
Megan scoffed. "I must say, your bodyguard seems to enjoy quite the privileged position, sharing a table with you."
A cold gleam flickered in Leopold's eyes. As Megan made to sit down, he stood abruptly and twisted her arm away. "I'm just as agile standing as I am sitting, and you, Ms. Alcott, may not take a seat without the lady's permission."
Megan reeled from the blatant spite. "Aurelia, control your watchdog. I didn't come alone, and my bodyguard was waiting at the door. Save a brawl. I don't want to be the laughingstock tonight."
With a dismissive gesture, Aurelia said to Leopold, "Let Ms. Alcott sit."
As he released her, Megan plunked down with a scowl. "You should be calling me Mrs. Stirling. Leopold and I aren't divorced yet, and it's never going to happen."
Aurelia's mocking laugh filled the air. "Whether you stay married is for Mr. Stirling and his family to decide, not you."
