NovelEnglishChapter 587 Megan was fuming, her eyes fixed on the figures ahead with such intensity that it looked like they might pop out of her skull.
Leopold waited for Aurelia at the foot of the mountain. Rolling her eyes, Aurelia gave him a look of exasperation. "Megan's probably blowing a gasket right now. Aren't you going to do something about it?" "Don't even mention her. She's a buzzkill,, Leopold replied, his expression colder than a glacier. No woman, other than her, could ever expect him to bend.
Aurelia sighed internally as the well-known saying crossed her mind. “Men are like sand. The tighter you hold them, the faster they slip through your fingers." It was clear to her that Megan was anxious, desperate to cling to Leopold.
It was a big mistake. No woman could manipulate an imperious and aloof man like Leopold, especially since the woman was a mole from the AK Group.

“William, I'll carry you if you get tired, Skyler offered and chuckled.
He was a big kid at heart, strong and full of energy.
William raised an eyebrow and replied, “No need. | might look small, but I'm tougher than | appear.” Skyler patted his head affectionately. "I know how tough you are. Why else would | have taken you as my...
apprentice?" William's cheeky grin spread. "Well, behind every great student is a great teacher, right?" Aurelia and Leopold trailed behind them.
“It would be nice if Kane were here, too." The thought of Kane alone at home made Aurelia's heart twinge. Her Kane was so considerate and well-behaved.
“It's too risky for Kane to be out in the open,’ Leopold said gravely. The AK Group's goons could be shadowing Skyler at any moment, and if they spotted Kane, they might target him.
So, he couldn't risk bringing Kane along.
Of course, Aurelia understood. Keeping her son safe was the top priority.
She longed for the day when the AK Group would be no more, and they wouldn't have to worry about their child's safety.

Tanya must have started weaving her web from pregnancy, playing the long game to perfection.
“With the same root, why such haste to come at each other? As siblings from the same mother, why must they fight to death?" Leopold snorted. "History is littered with princes slaughtering each other over a crown" Aurelia made a face. “If Mr. Chad hadn't been such a playboy, ruining his health, he might not have kicked the bucket so soon." She shifted her tone. “But his early death worked in your favor. Otherwise, you'd still be fighting for your position.” Leopold's demeanor remained indifferent. He felt little for Chad. It was Arnold who had cared for him in the hospital, while Chad rarely visited.
The kidney transplant was a success, and he shouldn't have died. But Chad couldn't control his wandering eye, and against medical advice, he had dallied several times with the voluptuous, seductive nurse his mother had arranged for him. His condition worsened, and he died.
Perhaps in Chad's perspective, with beauties serenading at his side, even death would hold no regrets.
"My children will not repeat those mistakes." "The ones I've borne won't, but | can't say the same for others. Megan's already dreaming of her son as the heir." Aurelia was confident that her sons William and Kane would never turn on each other. She had decided her enterprises would go to William. This way, William wouldn't regret being born ten minutes after Kane and missing out on being the heir.
Leopold's thin lips curled into a mocking smile. "She's deluding herself. Only Kane can be my heir." mmMwWLIII0fifl0&1 mmMwWLIII0fifl0&1 mmMwWLII0fiflO& 1 mmMwWLIII0fifl0&1 mmMwWL1i10fif10&1 mmMwWLIiI0fiflO&1
