Chapter 612

William cocked an eyebrow with smug satisfaction, "Because I'm a child prodigy.”

Melissa rolled her eyes, thinking, Aurelia”s sons were both cunning.

"So, do you want your mom to get back with Uncle Leo, or do you want her to marry your dad?" she teased him.

"Of course, I want her to marry my dad.” William didn't hesitate but then switched gears, “Though, my mom getting back with Uncle Leo wouldn't be bad either. Then Kane wouldn't have to worry about an evil stepmom. I can handle a stepmom, but Kane's the heir, so he can't have one.” Melissa's lips curled into a half-smile As she said,"l wouldn't have quessed you and Kane to be such brotherly chums.”

“We have the same mom, of course, we're close, William stated.

"What about half-siblings, sharing the same dad but different moms? Do they get along?" Skyler asked seriously.

"It depends, William said matter-of-factly, “If the stepmom’s a good person, without ambition, not after the family fortune, then half-brothers should get along fine. But if the stepmom's a homewrecker with evil designs, like Megan, wanting her own son to be the heir, then there's no way they'll get along.”

“Megan's a big baddie," Skyler stomped his feet in anger.

William nodded fervently, "That's why we must find a way to kick her out of Uncle Leo's life. She's bound to harm Kane otherwise.”

Aurelia stroked William's hair gently, "That's for the adults to worry about, sweetheart.”

William wasn't convinced, "When the nest is overturned, no egg is left unbroken. In the soap operas, the ambitious ladies always want to off the other's kids."

After all, he had watched his fair share of dramas with Jolin.

Aurelia was taken aback by William's insight. He truly was Jolin’s partner in crime-drama watching. Leopold wandered over, having caught snippets of William's speech, his expression a picture of disarray.

“Willian, let me assure you, there will be no shady games in my house. I'll handle anyone who dares try."

William pulled a face, “Then you better deal with Megan fast, or we'll never have peace.”

Aurelia couldn't help but purse her lips, thinking, “He was too soft-hearted to do it. After all, Megan was once his old love."

Leopold ruffled William's hair and said, "Those who play with fire eventually get burned. Why should I lift a finger?"

Melissa glanced at Leopold, sure that he was seething over Megan's ties to the underworld. He probably only found out about her secrets after the wedding, felt betrayed. Now, out of love turned to hate, he wanted to reconcile with Aurelia and rid himself of Megan.

If it weren't for Megan's pregnancy, he surely would have filed for divorce.

In her place, Melissa wouldn't have tolerated a partner connected to the underworld either.

As they spoke, a speedboat approached. On it was Megan.

She had woken to find everyone gone, nearly died of anger, and hastily rented a speedboat to chase them down.

Leopold had intention of shaking her off, trying to have an affair with Aurelia. No way.

She was like the one cloud in an otherwise clear sky, casting a shadow over everything.

Aurelia was quite impressed with Megan's clinginess. Even super glue would take a backseat. Leopold wished he could kick her into the sea for the sharks, but for Aurelia’s sake, he let her board. Megan pouted, the picture of grievance, "Leo, you were heading out to sea, and why didn't you call me? How could you leave me behind?"

Leopold replied coldly, "Is your body fit for the sea? Don't forget you're pregnant. If you really lose the baby, don't come crying to me."

Megan caressed her belly, "The baby wants to be with his daddy too. As long as you are there, he'll be strong.”

“Whatever you say. It's your problem if you lose it Leopold said irritably, not wanting to waste more words, and headed into the cabin.

Megan slumped down beside Melissa, frustration written all over her, “Melissa, why didn't you call me either?"
