The CEO’S Unplanned Heir novel (Aurelia and Leopold)
Chapter 686

Chapter 686

Megan could never hold back like Jessica could. She couldn't stand the sight of Leopold cozying up with other women.

"If I had to live like Jessica, neglected by my husband and watching him gallivant with other women, what would be the point of living such a pathetic existence?"

Tanya swirled her teacup, the herbal infusion rippling gently.

She harbored a bitterness toward Jessica.

If only she had allowed her to stay, to share Chad, to stand united against their rivals, they wouldn't be at the mercy of vixens like Magnolia flaunting their power.

"A moment of patience in a moment of anger saves you a hundred moments of regret. Think of the child you're carrying.”

Megan's hand drifted to her slightly rounded belly, "It's for the sake of my child that I must prevent these vixens from climbing the ranks. They're alt dreaming about pushing me out and taking my place.”

The mere thought of Lana's provocations made her teeth grind with fury, wishing she could flay her skin, draw her tendons, drain her blood, and scatter her ashes to the wind.

Tanya plucked a tea leaf from her cup and said, “Look at Aurelia, she's getting along so well with Lana. She's much smarter than you."

She had to admit Aurelia was a shrewd woman. Even Skyler was utterly devoted to her, in a way he had never been to anyone else, including herself.

A dark glint passed through Megan's eyes. She loathed being compared to Aurelia.

"Don't be fooled by Aurelia”s harmless facade. She's fickle, sly and deceitful.

Behind closed doors, she's probably even cuckolding Leopold”

Tanya's smile was faint, "Playing men like puppets is a skill. If you had that skill, wouldn't Leopold be at your beck and call, completely devoted? Instead of wallowing in self-pity, you should be thinking about how to keep his heart.”

Megan wanted to capture Leopold's heart, but she was outmatched by the number of temptresses surrounding him.

"Lady Tanya, could you possibly speak on my behalf to Jessica? Aurelia has spoken ill of me, and now she has her biases, refusing me entry into the Stirling family. She said she wouldn't acknowledge me until Kane turned eighteen. My position is so awkward now, and those mistresses are laughing at me, showing no respect. If I were confirmed as the matriarch of the Stirling family, would they dare to be so insolent?"

In a hushed tone, Tanya advised, "In affluent circles, power often comes through one's offspring. If the child you bear wins Jessica's favor, your ascension is only a matter of time. Why rush? Impatience can ruin grand schemes. You must learn patience. Don't let a moment of impulse destroy everything you have now."

Megan took a deep breath, her gaze drifting toward Lana and Aurelia.

The sight of Leopold with other women was insufferable to her. She felt an intense urge to wipe them all out of his life. From childhood, she wouldn't tolerate anyone being better or surpassing her. She relished the sensation of grinding her rivals under her heel, basking in the thrill of victory. After driving Aurelia away, she had reveled in her triumph, believing she could finally reign supreme, envied and resented by all. But before she could settle in, Leopold had moved on, stirring up scandals.

Her past displays of affection, once a declaration of victory, had become the social circle’s running joke.

Everyone mocked her, saying those who flaunt their love fall the fastest.

"I still believe Leopold loves me, that he'll come back to me one day. After all, I was his first love," she uttered the familiar mantra, convincing herself as much as anyone else.
