Chapter 639
"Do you think you have a say in whether you get a divorce or not?" Arnold warned, “If you dare to play dirty behind my back again, even if Leopold doesn't leave, I'll make sure your days with the Stirlings are numbered."
Megan felt a chill creep up her spine. She couldn't fathom what was so special about Aurelia, but they both liked her.
“I'm a woman who believes in an eye for an eye. Anyone who crosses me will regret it"
"I live by the same creed,’ Aurelia shot back, her gaze icy and piercing, “You might want to start racking up some good karma for that baby of yours. Don't think you can do whatever you please just because you've got some black organization backing you up. I can hand over evidence to the cops any day and make sure you rot in jail."
Megan shivered uncontrollably.
She wasn't afraid now, confident that Leopold would keep her safe, but once she handed over the last of her leverage, she'd be without her talisman. She needed a new ace up her sleeve, and fast.
“Don't think I'm scared of you. I've done nothing wrong, so I've got nothing to fear, she retorted, though her words felt incredibly ironic to Aurelia.
People really did become invincible when they had no shame.
Leaving the hotel, they made their way to the set.
Megan waited in the lobby, certain that Leopold would show up. She never saw him, and when she called him, it showed that he was no longer in the service area.
She was frustrated, but she was sure that Leopold hadn't left, and he was just locked away in his room.
As long as Aurelia was around, so would he be.
At the set, someone was looking for Leah. It was Hyvin.
He had worked with Avery in a previous production, playing the second billing. Thanks to his handsome looks, he was now carrying a show as the main actor.
He was shooting on the neighboring set and came over during a break.
“Leah, I got you some ice cream. It's your favorite strawberry flavor."
“Thanks,” Leah said with a smile, taking the treat, “You really pull off that CEO look well. Typecasting!"
