This weekend, the social elite were abuzz with excitement over a yacht party.
Aurelia, accompanied by Arnold, Skyler and William, was among the guests.
Leopold arrived with Lana on his arm.
The news of his impending divorce from Megan to marry Lana was the talk of the town.
As they boarded the yacht, all eyes discreetly followed them.
It seemed Aurelia wouldn't be rekindling her romance with Leopold but rather becoming his sister-in-law. After a long and tumultuous history, their paths ultimately diverged.
Tanya was there too, with Sierra and the family doctor in tow.
Of course, she had also informed Megan, who, still recovering from her recent ordeal, could only hide behind a mask.
This was botched checkmate attempt, a total defeat. Not only had she failed to eliminate Kane, but she'd also been avenged upon.. The worst part was she'd inadvertently set the stage for Lana's triumph.
Attempting to approach Leopold, Megan was stopped by a bodyguard, "I'm sorry, Ms. Alcott, Mr. Leopold has requested you not to approach."
A surge of rage nearly choked Megan. They used to call her Madam, and now she was demoted to Ms. Alcott.
"Our divorce isn't final yet, so I’m still his wife."
"The instructions to address you as such came from Mr. Leopold himself," the bodyguard replied, offering her no quarter.
Megan wanted to hang herself right there, in front of Leopold.
"Leopold, I won't divorce you, not unless I'm dead."
"Then you might as well be dead," Lana muttered with a smirk, "You want to cry about it? That approach of yours won't work on my man."
