"Anything you can buy with money is inherently meaningless," he interjected casually.
Aurelia choked back a retort. Of course, that was easy for Leopold to say with his bank account.
Only when one was financially satisfied did he seek the pleasures of the mind.
"The well-off would think that," she thought to herself. "But for the average, money is more important than life itself. The more something costs, the more they cherish it. The cheaper it is, the less they care."
"Cheesy ideas," Leopold declared, with his lips curling with a hint of disdain.
Beverley was taken aback. She thought that this bodyguard spoke with a tone so similar to Leopold's, even his voice matched. Could he be the replacement for Leopold that Aurelia had chosen?
Aurelia must still hold a torch for Leopold. Otherwise, she would have moved on with someone like Elvis Cooper by now, instead of remaining single.
What a pity! Leopold was such a playboy, about to marry Lana. That must've cut Aurelia deep.
"Leopold may be handsome and outstanding, but he's fickle at heart, not husband material, just a fling, like Chad. You should let him be a closed chapter and find someone good to be a husband, like Arnold or even Elvis."
Leopold felt an invisible arrow had struck him square in the chest.
Beverley who didn’t defend him even stabbed him in the back?
She might as well change her name to Beverley Stirling!
Aurelia shot him a covert glance, knowing full well that someone was internally hemorrhaging, with his patience fraying at the edges. If it weren't for his hidden identity, he'd probably have already tossed Beverley out the window.
