NovelEnglishLeopold grunted dismissively, "She doesn't need your help. Megan is a real thorn in the side, and a few hard knocks might bring her around. If she has the gall to cross the line again, she'll get served her just desserts." Tanya choked on her words, noting that Leopold had completely disregarded Megan by now. It was threatening Megan's life, so she wouldn't dare withhold the antibiotics.
"You can teach her a lesson, that's your call, but the kid is innocent. After all, he shares your blood." Leopold replied, "That kid? I'll send him abroad as soon as he's born. I'll have him return to claim his heritage after he turns eighteen so that nobody can use him as a pawn in their games. Anyway, he's only fifth in line for the legacy, with four brothers ahead of him. Some things will never be his." A muscle in Tanya's face twitched slightly, "Is Megan really that much of a thorn in your side?" Leopold shrugged, "She overestimates herself. Women who try to manipulate me end up in a bad way." His voice was like the clash of icicles, chilling to the bone.
Tanya's lips tightened. She had warned Megan not to be jealous or petty, to bide her time for the bigger picture, but she was too stubborn to listen.

"Which woman doesn't get a pang of jealousy once in a while? If she loves you and cares about you, clashes with other women are inevitable. Unless she stops loving you and stops caring, then she won't bother anymore.
Jessica could endure a lot because there was no love left in her heart for Chad. She was solely focused on grooming you as the successor." Leopold snorted, "Chad is no match for me. The women by my side are all in love with me, obedient and devoted. Only Megan, that harpy, not only is she not good-looking, but she's got a nasty temper too. Women who can't get along with my darlings, I just kick them to the curb." Tanya was speechless.
"Pregnancy can mess with a woman's hormones. It's natural for her temper to flare up, and sometimes they can't even control it. After she has the baby, she'll settle down." Leopold sipped his coffee casually, "You don't need to play peacemaker or preach to me. I've made up my mind.
As soon as she gives birth, we're getting a divorce. Lana's gone as far as to get sterilized for me, swearing to treat Kane like her own. | owe her the position of my lawful wife." A shadow passed through Tanya's eyes, "I thought you might get back with Aurelia." He shrugged nonchalantly, "She chose Arnold over me. But it doesn't matter. There are plenty of fish in the sea, and I'm not short of women. My wife needs to be someone who loves me wholeheartedly, and Lana fits the bill." Upstairs, Aurelia was eavesdropping, catching every word.
She was desperate to know if he was speaking his truth or just putting on an act.
Tanya sighed, "Aurelia is still Kane's biological mother, and it would be more fitting for her to be the matriarch of the Stirling family." Leopold replied seriously, "She has a child with Arnold too, and you know my history with Arnold. That makes it hard for me to trust her completely. Lana would do anything for me, and I can trust her a hundred percent.

Aurelia can't compete with that." Tanya's gaze was tainted by shadows. She couldn't tell if Leopold was serious or just acting.
There was no trace of insincerity plastered on his face. And sure enough, his fondness for Lana seemed sincere, so much so that he presented her with a massive engagement ring.
"If Megan finds out about this, she'll be heartbroken." Tanya sighed.
A ruthless look crossed Leopold's face, "She won't suffer if she doesn't stir up trouble. | won't tolerate any woman who creates trouble around me."
