NovelEnglishLeah hummed with a scowl, "It's got something to do with that wicked woman, no doubt about it. She must have been caught in her dirty little secret, trying to pass off another man's kid as family. Leopold found out, threatened to divorce her, and she went mad with rage and poisoned him." "Absolutely," Skyler echoed, nodding furiously. "She's always been a bully to Angel. Jessica, once Leopold gets out of the hospital, you've got to make him dump that witch." Leah continued, "The divorce is a done deal. She cheated on Leopold and gave him the ultimate betrayal. There's no way he's keeping her around after that." Tanya's lips tightened. "Let's not jump to conclusions. Even if Megan has made mistakes, | doubt she'd stoop to something as low as having another man’s kid. The Stirling kids have to do DNA tests before they're acknowledged, and she knows it. After all, she's Leopold's wife. She's never had a beef with you all. The hostility is unwarranted." Leah pouted. "Aunt Tanya, why are you defending her? She couldn't have bought you off, right?" Tanya remained calm and collected as she replied, "Of course not! She's always been polite and respectful to me, so I'm just being more objective than you are." Aurelia snorted internally.“Yeah, right. Keep pretending. She's just another pawn in your game.” Jessica sipped her coffee, her words flowing slowly. "Her kid is not Leopold's." Her voice was steady, like a breeze that could stir up a storm in Tanya's heart.
"How would you know? Has there been a paternity test?" Tanya asked, flustered.

“When did she manage to get a paternity test done? How could | have not known? The child has never left Azure Skies Villa. Did she bribe the staff and steal the child's DNA?” Tanya wondered in her heart.
Leah slammed the table with a bang. "Now we've got her. With solid proof, we should lock her up." Skyler clapped excitedly. "Yeah, lock her up! That'll be a show. I'd love to see that." Tanya's nerves were in a knot, her mind screaming in turmoil.
Her perfect plan had crumbled into nothing.
Since the day Megan gave birth, something had gone wrong with her plan. The child vanished into thin air, leaving no trace behind.
If Aurelia had been behind the abduction, she couldn't have covered it up so flawlessly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmStruggling to maintain her composure, Tanya sighed heavily. "I never would've imagined she'd do such a thing." Jessica opened another hazelnut, and after eating it, she murmured, "Tanya, you're too naive. You can know someone's face but not their heart. There's a lot you haven't anticipated." Aurelia suspected that Jessica was being sarcastic. Everything she said sounded like veiled irony.
Tanya couldn't say much more, knowing her day was already ruined.
She'd have to return and plan her next move.

She finished quickly, placing the rose petals on the plate.
Leah whistled, "Wow, Aurelia, you're amazing." Aurelia smiled. "Back in Pebblebrook, my hometown, known for its fertile lands, one of our favorite flowers and food ingredients is rose petals. Avery and | would compete picking these roses. He was even better thanat it."
