Chapter 568 In the parking lot before the office building of Astral Enterprises, when Leopold stepped out of his car, Megan rushed over and threw her arms around him.
"Leopold, I'm so scared. | think someone cast a curse on me." Her face was ghostly pale, trembling uncontrollably, the fear in her eyes genuine.
Leopold's thick brows knitted together as he gently pried her hands away. "What happened?" "I've been having nightmares every night, dreaming that someone's choking me. | can't breathe, feeling like i'm dying,” Megan stammered with a shiver.
"Maybe it's just stress from the pregnancy. You should see a doctor,” Leopold suggested coolly.

Leopold gave her a long and penetrating look. “Who would curse you?" Unless the AK Group thought she was disposable, there was no way they'd target her.
Megan dropped her gaze, her eyelashes casting shadows over her flickering eyes. “A new player from the organization has parachuted in. Last week, | got a secret email from him. He demanded the last vial of the antibiotic. | didn't comply. He must be angry, cursing me to pressure me into handing it over. This antibiotic is incredibly complex to create and is the only vial left in the lab. If I give it to him, he'll destroy it. And then Aurelia’s done for." Anerve in Leopold's mind twitched violently, his muscles tensing.
The phage needed for the antibiotic was exceedingly rare. Leopold's team sent to the Amazon hadn't even caught a trace of it.
Besides, their survival and reproduction rates were abysmally low, making them nearly impossible to cultivate artificially.
"Where's the antibiotic now?" “Don't worry. It's in a safe place. No one but me knows where it is. As long as I'm okay, it'll be fine,” Megan assured him. Leopold knew she wouldnt spill the beans so easily. Anyway, Megan was a cunning fox.
"Did you figure out who the new player is?" She shook her head. "Just that one email. But my gut tells me he's more scary than Kerry. He wants to control me and make me obey him. That's why he cursed me." "I don't have anyone who can lift a curse. If it wasn't your boss’ decision, the new player must be executing a personal vendetta.
You should file a complaint with him to lift the hex’ Leopold said with gravity.
If she were a significant pawn planted by the bigwigs, they wouldn't abandon her like this.
She had to have a direct line to the top brass.
Megan's eyelids drooped, shielding her eyes lest they accidentally betray her.

Leopold didn't believe a word, and he replied, "I'll assign two bodyquards to protect you around the clock. If you are truly cursed, we must find the one who did it quickly. I don't want you to become the next Aurelia." "Leopold, you have to keep me and the baby safe,” Megan pleaded, reaching for him again, but he firmly placed her back in the car.
“Move to Harmony Hill Mansion. Don't stay at Azure Skies Villa anymore. And never leave the sight of your bodyguards, just to be safe." “Okay.” Megan's heart bloomed with joy that she could finally move into his mansion.
From a distance, Aurelia witnessed the entire scene in a black sedan.
When seeing their intimacy, a green serpent seemed to slither into her heart, coiling tightly, gnawing at her insides with jealousy.
She knew Leopold still had feelings for Megan. After all, he once loved Megan deeply.
To him, being flanked by two women was probably his ideal arrangement, right? He would never divorce Megan, and Aurelia would remain nothing more than a secret lover shrouded in the shadows. That was the perfect setup in his heart, wasn't that?
