Chapter 650
Aurelia shot Leopold a meaningful look before quickly pulling out her phone, bowing her head to focus on the screen, and pretending she hadn't seen or heard a thing.
The day was overcast, a thick blanket of clouds concealing the stars and moon above.
They sat under a grand old oak tree, whose dense canopy was blocking the glow of the street lamps, making it a perfect cloak of darkness.
Megan seethed with a level of hatred towards Aurelia that ate her up inside. She wished nothing more than to tip her apart and drain her of life. She couldn't understand what this wretched woman possessed that had Leopold so spellbound, treasuring her like a precious jewel in his hand.
After all, Leopold had always been ice-cold to women, never batting an eye at even the most beautiful or accomplished ones.
"She must have slipped him a love potion or something. I bet she knows some witch doctor and that all her power is from dark magic; Megan hissed.
Upon hearing this, Aurelia rolled her eyes in exasperation. It was becoming clear that Megan's delusions were getting worse by the day. If Megan didn't seek psychiatric help soon, she might lose her grip on reality entirely.
Jewel interjected, “Black magics aren't as miraculous as you think. If witch doctors were that powerful, wouldn't they be ruling the world by now?"
“What do you know?" Megan snapped back with a glare. "Just find out who her witch doctor is. I must eliminate this threat if I'm to have any peace."
"I haven't found a single clue. Aurelia and the people around her have never set foot in any place known for such practices," Jewel responded.
“That's impossible. You must have missed something,’ Megan said, unconvinced, utterly sure that Aurelia had cursed her and unwilling to accept any other explanation.
Jewel pursed her lips, thinking Megan far too obstinate to admit defeat.
“I think you might have got hypnotized if it's not sleepwalking. But, as far as I know, only one person can hypnotize someone so silently and invisibly."
"Who?" Megan demanded urgently.
