"That bitch Lana, she's now in cahoots with Aurelia against me. She went and got herself sterilized, earning Aurelia's trust, outwitting Katie and Catherine with her deep-seated cunning." Jewel rolled her eyes, "It's your own fault for not playing your cards right. You thought having a baby would guarantee your status, but you forgot that he could have kids with countless women. He doesn't care at all.
Adding one more kid to the mix makes no difference to him, and neither does one less." "You should blame your useless cronies for not being able to off a three-year-old. If that brat Kane was dead, my child would still be Leopold's darling." "You're clueless, aren't you? Leopold's already made it clear that your kid's the fifth in line. There are four older brothers ahead, and your child doesn't stand a chance. Plus, once your baby's born, they're shipping him overseas until Kane turns 18, only then might they let him come back." Each of Jewel's words was like a thunderclap, mercilessly striking Megan's head, making her dizzy and her vision blurry as every nerve in her body seethed.
"I will never let him send my child away. My child must stay with me." Jewel said, "If you think about fighting for custody in court, you're sure to lose. The Stirling family's legal team never loses a case, and no judge dares to award custody of a Stirling child to the mother." Megan shivered, "The Boss will help me. He won't let Leopold send my child away, right?" Jewel scoffed, "If you could worm your way into Jessica's good graces, get her to dote on your child, and be his advocate, then maybe he'd have it all. But all this time, instead of doing anything worthwhile, you've been too busy fighting petty battles with other women. You're just too foolish. The Boss is very disappointed in you." Megan was livid, "Everything I've done was to win Leopold's heart, to make him fall in love with me. That's far more useful than currying favor with Jessica." Jewel replied, "You're like a jealous pot, always stirring up trouble. All you do is increase his disdain. Look at Aurelia, how well she gets along with Leopold's mistresses, with such sisterly affection and warmth. Most men want wives like that, gentle, understanding, and managing the household while they play around. Not like you, always caught up in conflict and contriving your next move." Megan was incensed, "Easy for you to say when you're not in my shoes. | don't believe for a second you could be so magnanimous." Jewel said coolly, "Patience is key to grand schemes. Don't forget that you're after more than just the man, and you want the Stirling Group behind him. If you want your child to be an heir, you need to learn endurance. Only those who can bear the unbearable can achieve great things." Megan glared at her dismissively, "Your advice is useless now. Just come up with a plan to stop him from divorcing me. If I'm finished, don't think you'll be any better off." Jewel just pursed her lips. She had no interest in cleaning up Megan's mess.

Meanwhile, Arnold had taken William and Skyler up to the deck to play, and Sierra had followed.
After a quick trip to the powder room, Aurelia returned to be stopped by Tanya.
"I heard Leopold's divorcing Megan. | thought he might come back to you." Aurelia smiled faintly, a picture of serenity, "Leopold and | agree we're better off as friends. Lana's kindhearted and caring, willing to go through sterilization for him. Such a degree of commitment can stir anyone's heart, not just a man's."
