NovelEnglishChapter 534 Megan felt scared, her knees trembling, as Aurelia’s words hit her sore spot.
She knew about Liam. Originally twins, one had been stolen, met a tragic end, and burnt into nothing more than ashes.
The thought that her child might face the same fate sent chills down Megan's spine.

She took a deep breath, striving to remain calm.
"Leopold doesn't love you, so your child is not important to him. That's why he didn't protect you. But my child is different, and he is Leopold's heart's delight. | believe Leopold will protect him.” With that, she headed towards Leopold's office.
Leopold was leaning against his chair when a crack in the office door allowed him to overhear Aurelia's words.
Megan walked in and sat on the couch.
"Leopold, I've been feeling uneasy lately. I'm worried that people from the AK Group will harm our child.” Leopold's slender fingers tapped lightly on the desk, his expression grave, "So far, | have found no useful clues about the AK Group. It's easy to dodge a bullet, but hard to avoid a hidden dagger. When Aurelia was pregnant, | had people protect her all the time, but our enemies still found a loophole. You'd better find out the purpose of the AK Group placing you by my side, and what their plans are in the future. This way, we can prepare and protect you and the child, otherwise it will be hard to defend against." Megan felt as if she'd been kicked into an ice hole, her body shivering.
“If I could replace Kerry, | would know more secrets.” Leopold's eyes flashed a sharp light. He knew Megan had many secrets she hadn't revealed to him. Having spent six years in Verdecalma, she must know something about the AK Group's lair.
"You're too naive. They've positioned you as a pawn by my side. Even without Kerry, they would not let you replace her, but ask someone else to take over" It was as if Megan had been hit on the back of her head. Her shoulders shuddered, her hopes shattered.

Leopold's eyes were particularly inscrutable under the light.
"You are now my wife. As long as | am unharmed, you and the child can be safe. Otherwise, you'll be discarded as a useless pawn. You have to be smart and realize who you can rely on." On hearing it, Megan got more nervous.
“If Aurelia recovers, will you still want me?" Leopold was expressionless, speaking casually, "Whether | want you or not depends on your performance and worth, not Aurelia. If Aurelia is worthless, | won't hesitate to cast her out." His tone was very cold, devoid of any emotion or warmth.
Megan was in turmoil. His words gave her hope but also made her realize that she had not yet met his expectations. Otherwise, she would have moved into the Harmony Hill Mansion by now.
“L will try to find more information about the AK Group” Leopold's lips curled into a cold arc, "I need a wise partner, not a cunning woman. | hope you can meet my expectations.” "l understand, Leopold.” Megan put on a docile expression. She would strive to prove her worth.
