Leopold casually mentioned while munching on a piece of beef stew, “Anyone you dislike, I can arrange a transfer overseas.”
Despite his outward strictness towards Kane, it was clear he doted on him. His every wish was Leopold's command.
Aurelia spoke with deliberate calm, “It’s indeed wise to keep Megan’s baby away from her lest he becomes a pawn in her game. But there’s no need to send him abroad. Just find someone with solid values to raise and educate him.”
Leopold nodded slightly, “I’ll see to it.”
On the other side of Elysium.
Megan was on the verge of a breakdown. Rumors were swirling that she had poisoned Leopold, and the police were on her doorstep more often than not for interrogations. If it weren't for her pregnancy, they would have detained her already.
She was unfairly taking the fall, and it hurt.
She sent a discreet email to the Boss, pleading for a fall guy to take the heat off her. If she didn’t get help soon, she was done for.
The Stirling family would never let her off the hook. Her dreams of becoming the matriarch, and her son becoming the heir, all would vanish into thin air.
Jewel returned, and Megan immediately grilled her, “Any news on Leopold? What’s his condition?”
“He's supposedly in an isolation room. No one is allowed to visit. I bet he hasn’t woken up yet,” Jewel reported.
