Chapter 480 Yuna said, I'm here for you now, and my job is to assist you, not to report to Mr. Leopold unless you're in danger.” Aurelia chuckled. That's good to know. Let's keep this under wraps for now. Once we have solid leads and evidence, we'll tell him.” “Alright.” Yuna nodded, “Jimmy has been at the Twilight Club for five years. He must know alot.” Aurelia thought so too, which was why she decided to keep him.
He probably didn’t know about Kerry's involvement with the crime syndicate, but he might be able to provide some clues, like who Kerry often hung out with.
Once home, Aurelia created a new account on WhatsApp and added Jimmy.

Many women choose to marry not only for love but also to share the costs of life. After all, in this country, many women were facing discrimination from both their families and society. They didn’t have access to quality education and decent jobs, and they needed a man to help share the costs of raising children.
But if they achieved financial independence, they didn’t need a husband. Unless they found true love, a man who loved them wholeheartedly and faithfully. Otherwise, it was just self—torture.
What was the point of staying with a man who didn’t love you, wasn’t gentle or considerate, and even cheated on you? The next day, Leopold brought Kane over in his car. He and William had arranged to spend the weekend at the beach.
This was mainly Kane's idea. He thought that if his parents spent more time together, they might reconcile.
The weather was perfect, sunny, and cloudless, a great day for a beach outing.
Once at the beach, the two boys started building sandcastles.
This was William's forte, and he could build some impressive structures.

Leopold sat next to her, his gaze trailing over her attractive figure, turning him on like he being set ablaze by the sun. He was constantly consumed with desire for her, hapter 480 “We should have more family activities.

“Kane and William are very well-behaved and sensible. They won't fight with each other. If they were half-brothers, they wouldn't get along this well. With the mothers fighting for attention and getting jealous, how could the children possibly get along?” Leopold gave her a pointed look, his gaze loaded with meaning, “Are you worried that | have a child out of wedlock?” “Yes.” She admitted candidly, “I don’t want any threats to my children. In the ancient courts, the first prince to be named heir often had a hard time becoming king. He became the target of all the other princes and their mothers. You were in a similar situation, weren't you? If you have a child out of wedlock, my Kane would be in danger too. | don’t want that to happen.” Leopold's gaze darkened, “Can't it just be about me?” She faltered, a sad smile appearing on her face, “Are you joking, Mr. Leopold? There's no love between us.” He had never loved her, and it was unlikely he ever would. So, she would carefully hide her feelings, never revealing them to be ridiculed by him.
