NovelEnglishChapter 397 Leopold's deep eyes flickered slightly as if he'd gleaned some insight from her words.
The corner of Megan’s mouth twitched. From then on, the only woman allowed near Leopold would be her. Any woman who dared to challenge her would pay the ultimate price.

Right now, you're the other woman between me and Leopold.” She turned to Leopold and said sweetly, “Leopold, tell her you'll only love me from now on, and I'll be the only woman in your life.” Leopold felt disgust rising in his throat. He wanted nothing but to kick Megan out of the window and watch her shatter against the pavement below.
“Enough,” he snapped, “this is an office, not a place for personal affairs.” He turned to Aurelia. “I'll have my lawyer draft a new divorce agreement. You'd better sign it as fast as you can. I'm not fond of dragging things out.” Aurelia swallowed hard. “Leopold, don’t forget one thing. The head of the Stirling family breaking the family rules will get severe punishment. And the Stirling family will never accept your mistress. Even if you marry secretly, she'll never become a Mrs.
Stirling. Take a lesson from the mistakes of your older generation.” Her words were not only for him but for Megan as well.
A nerve in Megan's face twitched violently. She knew all well about the feud between Magnolia and Jessica. The Stirling family rules were strict. While the men were allowed to marry more than one wife, the first wife always held a protected status.
In the Stirling family, the first wife held a high position, which was higher than any second wife, and divorce without due cause was not permitted.
To date, no head of the Stirling family had managed to divorce successfully, nor had any mistress ascended to the position of family matriarch.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIf she wanted to ascend, she had to win Leopold's approval and the strong support of the family matriarch.
“I believe true love can conquer all,” Megan insisted, “Leopold and | have gone through so many challenges and finally found our way back together. No one and nothing can separate us again.” She never missed a chance to flaunt her relationship with Leopold, stinging Aurelia’s heart.
Despite the pain, Aurelia refused to let Megan see her hurt and have it her way. Even if she would lose Leopold and her marriage, she wouldn't lose her dignity as the first wife.
Chapter 307 ‘Leopold is never short of women,” she retorted, “even without me, there will be others. A man’s love and sexual needs can be separate. Even if he truly loves you, it doesn’t stop him from sleeping around. As for the divorce, | won't sign the papers as long as I'm alive. Not on your life!” With that, she stormed out of the room.
Megan gritted her teeth in frustration. If it weren't for her antibiotic, Aurelia would be facing her death one month later.
“Leopold, when will you finally divorce her? | don’t want to wait too long. Or next month's antibiotic...” Before she could finish, Leopold roughly pushed her to the ground.
“Don't threaten me with the antibiotic,” he warned, “if anything happens to Aurelia, you won't live a second longer.” His icy tone sent a chill down Megan's spine. “I just want to marry you and become your wife.” Leopold looked at her with disgust. “I'll keep my promise, but you know the Stirling family rules as well as | do. If | divorce without the family’s approval and marry you, you'll never step foot in the Stirling household, and you'll never be a Mrs. Stirling. We'll do things by the book.” Megan clenched her jaw. She'd go see the family matriarch, Jessica. With Jessica's support, things would go smoothly. She'd once got injured for Leopold's sake, and Jessica was grateful for her. She was sure Jessica would take her side.
