Chapter 706
William pulled a face at her, "Megan, you're such a sad case, getting the cold shoulder from Uncle Leo like that."
"The forgotten ones in the palace, so pitiful indeed, all alone and utterly miserable, Skyler chimed in with a dramatic flair, their act in perfect harmony.
Sierra blinked, joining the conversation in a whisper, "I've seen those soap operas, and the emperors always lock away the wives they don't like"
"Zip it’ Megan growled, "I'm the queen, not just some wife, and queens don't get locked away."
William burst out laughing, "Megan's lost it, thinking she's the queen"
Skyler couldn't help but join in the laughter, doubling over in an exaggerated display of amusement.
Even Sierra started giggling, though she couldn't quite see the joke. Laughter, after all, was contagious.
Megan was a mix of embarrassment and anger, "You lot are complete morons, idiots."
“You're the idiot, and your whole family’s full of idiots.” William retorted, hands on his hips and puffing up like a rooster.
Skyler mimicked his stance, repeating his words, "You're the idiot, not us"
Sierra joined in, echoing Skyler. Her job was to make Skyler happy.
Megan was close to passing out from rage.
Aurelia patted her son's head, "Alright, William, Skyler, Sierra, let's go. No use wasting words on someone who doesn't matter"
“Okay.” The three nodded obediently, trailing behind Aurelia as they left.
Sierra had already figured out that Megan wasn't exactly Miss Popular around here. She asked William in a soft voice, “Why does everyone dislike Megan?"
"Because she's the wicked stepmother’ William replied, scrunching his nose.
