"I honestly have no clue," Aurelia said nonchalantly. Maybe once he hears about my remarriage with Leopold, he'll come around. Who knows?
Sheryl chimed in, "Now that you and Leopold are back together, Arnold should move on and start planning his life anew."
Aurelia smiled faintly, "Arnold has always been decisive. He knows what he's doing."
She then shifted her gaze to Lisbeth, deftly changing the subject, "So, Lisbeth, when are you and Raines thinking of having kids?"
Lisbeth replied, "Maybe in a couple of years."
Sheryl advised, "Better to have kids sooner rather than later. You and Raines are the only ones without children now. It's easier for a woman to bounce back in shape if she has kids early. We're high-society ladies. There are plenty of temptresses around our husbands. Keeping in shape is crucial to fend off any home-wreckers."
She glanced at Aurelia, "Look at Aurelia gorgeous and capable, yet she still got played by a temptress and divorced Leopold. If that home-wrecker hadn't cheated and had a lovechild, Leopold probably would've never divorced and gotten back with Aurelia."
Aurelia cringed inwardly. Was she being used as a cautionary tale?
Beverley coughed softly, whispering, "I heard Megan has lost it, nearly strangled Callie, and tried to snatch someone else's kid right in the middle of the street. Her father had no choice but to commit her to a mental institution."
"Cleverness may overreach itself," Sheryl said with a hint of scorn. "She broke a cardinal sin. No man can tolerate his woman cheating and bearing another man's child. Megan must've been out of her mind."
Beverley pursed her lips, "The craziest part is, when Leopold found out, she went psycho and tried to poison him. Thank God he survived, or she would've been done for."
Sheryl clicked her tongue, "Why didn't Leopold clear the air? We all got him wrong, thought he was a chip off the old block, irresponsible and a womanizer."
"Yeah, turns out Leopold endured so much," Beverley exclaimed, suddenly feeling guilty for bad-mouthing him behind his back.
Aurelia sighed deeply, "I have high standards when it comes to marriage and love. I can't stand even a grain of sand in my eye. If he had been faithless and left me for Megan, I would've remarried long ago. Why would I take him back?"
Beverley was incensed, "I can't believe Megan was so monstrous, stopping at nothing to marry Leopold."
Sheryl hummed low, "What else do you expect from a temptress? No the other woman means well. To climb the ladder, they'll stop at nothing. We, the first wives, must stick together and not let any temptress take our place."
