NovelEnglishChapter 611 Melissa felt the sting of truth as the words hit her like a punch to the gut.
Her face fell, and she could feel the anger coursing through her veins at the mere thought of Elvis humiliating her in public, calling her a useless freeloader and an eyesore. Every cell in her body seemed to scream with anger.

Aurelia sighed. “You're giving me way too much credit, Melissa. Mr. Leopold is my boss. The boss tells the employee what to do, but it can't be the other way around. I'm just his ex-wife, but you're his blood sister. If you ask him, it'll carry more weight than anything | could say. Leopold wouldn't have kicked me to the curb and married someone else if he had any love left for me" Melissa pursed her lips. “He's trying to get back together with you, isn't he? Otherwise, he wouldn't have slept with you." “By no means will Mr. Leopold want to be back together with me. He's had his fill of me and is looking for someone new. We were honestly in a video conference. If he wanted to make love, he'd want someone young and pretty, not a discarded ex-wife like me." Aurelia tried to keep her tone calmer than she felt. Some things were better left denied.
Pfft! Melissa wasn't buying it. If Leopald had no interest in being back together with Aurelia, he wouldn't have invited Aurelia on this vacation.
After all, Aurelia still maintained her beauty. It must be difficult for Leopold to sever ties with her.
“You know you're one of the luckiest women in history on divorce settlements. Who else walks away with billions and several properties like you? Leopold did have gone above and beyond for you." Aurelia couldn't deny that, but she suspected that his generosity came with strings attached, possibly hoping for a reconciliation, so he restrained her in all ways and forbade her to remarry.
What kind of tycoon would make a losing deal? “Melissa, you love dolling up and shopping, right? Why not be a beauty or fashion influencer? It's comfy and relaxed, and you can make money. With your looks and grace, you'd have fans flocking to you in no time." Alittle flattery warmed Melissa's heart, and she conceded, “That's true. | might consider it." William and Skyler came running over, happily carrying a bucket of fish.
“Mommy, we caught a huge eel! We're going to have a delicious grilled eel feast tonight.” Aurelia smiled and said, “Wow, that's amazing! We'll have a full fish banquet tonight." Melissa realized this woman sure had a way with men.

Compared to pampered heiresses like them, she fell short. No, she had to step up her game and make Elvis see her worth.
William and Skyler settled down, munching on fruit and sipping soda water.
“It's so nice when the wicked woman isn't around. We can play without any trouble” “Why doesn't she just... go away after getting bitten by that bug? Why does she have to hang around us?" "She's got her eyes on Uncle Leopold,” William said, shaking his head with a sigh that seemed beyond his years.
"Poor Uncle Leopold" “But if Leopold doesn't... like her, why doesn't he send her away?” Skyler asked, puzzled.
“Because she's got a baby girl in her, just like Lisa did. Dad couldn't send her away because of the baby. He has to wait until the baby is born before they can divorce,” William explained with an air of seriousness.
Melissa choked on his words. “Who on earth told you all this nonsense? How do you know so much?"
