"No, | wouldn't want that. | get along with Sheryl, and there's no conflict between us. Plus, Nina and Mira are adorable. | want them to have a whole family and a happy childhood. If my opponent weren't Jelena, I'd stand by Sheryl's side in a heartbeat, ready to join forces against the other woman." Her tone shifted as she continued. "But it just so happens that the other woman is Jelena. | can't please either of them even if | do nothing and stay neutral. They'll both blor resent me. If | don't stand by Sheryl, she'll think I'm secretly supporting Jelena, breaking my word. If | don't stand by Jelena, she'll think I'm heartless, not even helping my own family. What do you think | should do?" Leopold gently stroked her hair. "I'll be the villain. If anyone's unhappy, blit on me. Tell them it was my idea." Aurelia fell silent. He was probably on Sheryl's side and wouldn't agree to Fredric's divorce. As the head of the family, if he used his veto power at the family meeting, Fredric wouldn't be able to divorce.

While she pondered, Leopold suddenly swept her off her feet. "I just installed a new hot tub, perfect for a couple's bath. Let's give it atry" Aurelia clung to his shirt. "In the future, when you go to parties, ensure you bring plenty of bodyguards to prevent any mischief." Leopold smiled as he replied. "I'm not interested in those parties, and wherever | go, I'll take you with me." Aurelia blinked. "If someone did try to seduce you, could you resist?" He kicked open the bathroom door. "Most people can't except for me." She was skeptical. "Why? Are you immune to everything?" His smile turned wicked. "With you by my side, | am immune indeed. You're the only one who affects me." Aurelia rolled her eyes at him. He might have more self-control than most, which was true. Otherwise, he wouldn't still be a virgin in his twenties. But being completely unaffected was impossible. She'd have to keep a close eye on him. She didn't want to deal with that kind of mess.
The following morning, Sheryl arrived, sobbing in front of Jessica.
"Jessica, Fredric's gone crazy again. He chyesterday insisting on a divorce and had even drafted the papers. All these years, I've been a faithful wife and mother, never stepped a foot wrong, and he's out there having the tof his life. | never complained. Isn't he satisfied?" Jessica frowned, asking, "Has he met swoman recently?" Sheryl cried. "I don't know. He didn't chlast night, and when he did, he wanted a divorce, saying he would agree to any terms if | consented. Has he fallen under the spell of ssiren?" Aurelia descended the stairs and instinctively turned to go up when she saw Sheryl, but Jessica stopped her.

Jessica said, "You are now the matriarch of the Stirling family. From now on, you'll handle the domestic affairs." Aurelia felt a trickle of sweat down her back.
This was something she couldn't handle. She had to step aside.
She believed that if Jessica knew Fredric's affair was with Jelena, she would agree with Aurelia's decision to stay out of it.
She didn't want to be in a dilemma.
Morally and ethically, she was totally against Fredric's divorce. But when it cto family, she couldn't just ignore Jelena.
