Chapter 366
Soon, a bowl of savory beef soup was ready to be served.
Aurelia took a bite, and it tasted quite good.
“Is it good?” Leopold asked, his face full of anticipation.
She nodded, “Very good.”
Watching her savor her meal, he felt a deep sense of satisfaction within.
“Next time, I’ll make something different for you.”
He couldn’t spoil her enough.
However, Aurelia was reluctant to fully accept his affection. She knew he was fickle, capable of elevating her to the heavens one moment and casting her into hell the next.
To protect herself from the potential hurt, she decided to keep her expectations low.
Magnolia had brought Lisa to her side for her pregnancy.
Arnold arrived and was furious.
Unfazed by his wrath, Magnolia gave a smile and said, “Arnold, how about some chicken wings for dinner?”
Arnold kicked over the coffee table, “You were never sick, and this was all a plot between you and Aunt Marcia, wasn’t it?”
He had sent people to Freysland Hospital to interrogate the doctors, who confessed everything out of fear.
Magnolia was never ill and didn’t need a bone marrow transplant. Her goal was to ally by marriage with Desan’s daughter.
Swallowing hard, Magnolia said, “Since you know everything now, there’s no point in pretending. Only by getting married with Lisa can we increase our power and fight against Jessica and Leopold.”
Arnold was about to pass out from anger. He never thought Magnolia could be so ruthless.
“Do you see me as a tool to achieve your ambitions?”
“Arnold, a man must not let his emotions dictate his actions. A woman like Aurelia is of no help to you. You should discard her without hesitation.”
Before she could finish, Arnold cut her off angrily, “Shut up! You’re no match for Jessica. I wish you were already dead, so I could remember you as the beautiful woman you once were, not this devil who will stoop to any low.”
Magnolia’s shoulders trembled, “How could you say that about me? I’m your mother. Everything I’ve done was for you”
“You did it for yourself. From now on, you’re no longer my mother, and I’m not your son anymore. I don’t want to see you again.”
Leaving these words behind, he stormed out
He was utterly devastated For Magnolia, he had lost Aurelia and a happy family. Now he
had nothing
Lisa came running down from upstairs. “Mom, does Arnold know everything? What are we going to do?
Magnolia took a deep breath and said, “He’ll understand one day. Just give him some
time
