The CEO’S Unplanned Heir novel (Aurelia and Leopold) novel Chapter 657

Chapter 657

“Leopold, my love for you is true and deep, and I'm carrying your child. How can you break my heart over some insignificant temptress?” Her voice broke into a sob, tears streaming down her cheeks.

"Pfft!" Lana snorted disdainfully. “You only want to spawn a son to challenge Kane as the heir of the family fortune. Until you sign an affidavit swearing you'll never covet the head of the family title, Leopold will never truly believe your love. Without that, you're nothing but a schemer. Leopold despises ambitious women."

Lana's words sliced through Megan's facade like a knife, exposing her dark and evil heart.

"You little home-wrecker, don't you dare sling mud at me. It seems to me you're the one with the real ambition, dreaming of climbing the social ladder, aren't you?"

“You bet I am," Lana admitted bluntly without shame. “If you can claw your way to the top, why can't I? May the best woman win!"

Megan clenched her teeth. “Don't even think about it. As long as I'm breathing, you'll never get your chance."

Lana just laughed.

"It's up to Leopold to decide who rises and who falls. And if he decides you're out, no amount of crying, tantrums, or threats will save you."

Fury twisted Megan's nerves, and a sharp pain began to gnaw at her belly.

Scared, she quickly sat down on the couch, taking deep breaths to calm herself.

Fredric spoke leisurely, "Megan, you're out of line this time to have made much ado about nothing. Men like Leopold can have their pick and live the high life, while women must be loyal and nurturing. It's been the Stirling family’s way for centuries. You're free to leave if you can't handle it. But expecting Leopold to be a one-woman man is a fantasy. If he were such a saint, you wouldn't be here in the first place."

Megan was devastated.

Fredric, with his heart's desire within reach, naturally sided with his brother.

Lana smirked with scorn. "You think you'te entitled to the top spot? How delusional. Even Aurelia, the first lady of the house, has never spoken ill of me. She's always been kind."

The rage was causing Megan's blood to boil, and she was shaking all over.

Fredric tried to ease the tension. "Let's not make a big deal of it. She's pregnant, after all. Let her go rest, and we can continue enjoying our evening."

Leopold, lounging back on the sofa, sipped his cocktail and waved Megan off with impatience. "You can leave now."

But Megan didn't want to leave. Would she be handing Leopold over to Lana, the vixen if she left?

"I'm not going anywhere. I want to stay and have fun with you all” she insisted.

“Come on. Don't be such a baby, Megan. You're pregnant, and if you miscarry by accident, you'll regret it more than anyone; Fredric reasoned.

Megan pouted. "The baby wants to be with his daddy, too. He's always so calm when he hears Leopold's voice."

If Leopold had only this one child, he would surely treasure them both. But sadly, a pack of vixens were all too eager to bear his children, stealing the affection that should have been her baby's alone.

Those wretched women and their bastard children deserved nothing but contempt.
