Chapter 652

“What a heartless woman."

"Look who's talking.” Her response was casual as if to say she might be heartless, but he was far worse.

Leopold cradled her chin in his hands and kissed her fiercely as if this was the only way to mark his presence, to make it impossible for her to ignore him.

Megan strolled to the hotel entrance and spotted Skyler and William playing in the plaza before the hotel

She looked around but caught no sign of Aurelia or Arnold but two bodyguards. Moreover, Leopold was conspicuously absent.

When William saw her, he ran up eagerly, “Megan, why haven't you left yet?"

Megan wanted to throttle the little brat, who she thought could never talk nicely.

"I'll leave when you do,’ she said, her tone flat.

William stuck out his tongue at her. “Uncle Leopold went home already. I've just FaceTimed with Kane. Uncle Leopold was playing chess with him."

Megan glared at him. “You're a little liar. I don't believe a word you say."

William shrugged. "Believe it or not, you're the one who is stuck here, not me."

“You're insufferable, absolutely insufferable,” Megan hissed through clenched teeth.

William shrugged again and said leisurely, "I'm the good person, and you're the bad person. Bad people hate the good people because good people stop them from doing bad things.”

Skyler swaqggered over, stomping his foot hard in front of Megan. “You're the villain, the big bad woman!"

Megan was a bit afraid of him. William was tiny and easy to deal with, but Skyler towered over her, and if he got angry, she'd be the one at a disadvantage.

Besides, he was Jessica's favorite nephew, and Jessica would undoubtedly take his side. Megan knew she'd have to suck it up.

"Skyler, this doesn't involve you. Please stay out of it, okay?"

Skyler clenched his fists. “Anyone who messes with William or Aurelia is my enemy.”

Megan instinctively took a step back, protecting her belly in fear that Skyler might lose it and punch her, possibly causing a miscarriage.

He was a loose cannon, totally unreasonable.

"Aurelia's no angel. She's a witch with dark powers. Who knows, maybe you'll upset her one day, and she'll cast a spell on you. Aren't you scared?"

Skyler cracked his knuckles menacingly, looking ready to throw a punch. "Nonsense! You're the witch here, the evil sorceress! Aurelia is... the most kindhearted and beautiful soul in the world." Megan was speechless. Trying to reason with Skyler was like talking to a brick wall - he would never accept her point of view.

“You're not making any sense. I can't even talk to you.”

William crossed his arms and puffed up his cheeks, glaring at her. "You're the one who's not making sense.

Skyler is hundreds of thousands of times smarter than you.”

Megan was fuming, just itching to slap him until his face turned blue and purple.

But she dared not touch him, knowing that Skyler would pounce on her if she slapped William. “I'm done with you. I'm going back to my room to rest.”

She turned and headed into the hotel.

She hadn't seen Leopold all day, which was strange.

Could he be at ease returning to Elysium and leaving Aurelia alone with Arnold?

Could he be hiding in Aurelia’s room?

With that thought, she decided to catch them red-handed. But when she exited the elevator, a bodyguard stopped her. Someone had booked the entire floor, off-limits to outsiders.

Then, Megan was even more convinced Leopold was here.

“I need to see Aurelia. Tell her to come out.”

"Mrs. Stirling is out, the bodyguard said.

"Don't lie to me. I know she's in the room. I saw her come into the hotel," Megan snorted. She had people stationed in the lobby to monitor Aurelia's movements. They would have seen her if Aurelia had left.
