Chapter 398

Chapter 398

At the iron gate of the grand Stirling Mansion, a fortress of wealth and power, Megan. waitedanxiously.

It took a while before the security guard, who had gone in to report her arrival, returned.

“I'm sorry, Ms. Megan, Mrs. Stirling has made it clear that she isn't receiving guests recently.”Megan's heart skipped a beat. “I'm not just any guest,” she protested, “I'm Megan, her futuredaughter-in-law.”

The security guard was unmoved. His loyalty was to Jessica only. “You'll have to leave.”

Left with no other options, Megan dialed Melissa's number.

her and wants to marry her. We should be supporting him.”

“If your grandparents and grandaunts had the same misguided thinking as you, Magnolia would bethe lady of this house, not me.” The sound of her coffee cup slamming on the table echoed throughthe room, causing Melissa to flinch.

“Do you mean we should support Aurelia? She shamed herself and Leopold by engaging in an affairwith Arnold. She has no right to be the matriarch of the Stirling family.”

“You know as well as I do that Aurelia left Leopold because of the turmoil caused by our enemies,which led to Liam's death. It breaks my heart every time I think of my poor murdered grandson.”Jessica clutched her chest, emotion raw in her voice. “Leopold already made Aurelia sign the divorcepapers before she left. Aurelia was divorced and suffered the loss of her child. Whatever she did inher grief is understandable. It's all gone. No one is to bring up the past.”

Melissa had no sympathy for Aurelia. All she saw was a lowly woman aiming to marry into theirprestigious family, much like the women Elvis had a soft spot for.

“Megan is Leopold's first love. If she hadnt disappeared, they would have married years ago.”

“That was then. She's been missing for six years. Who knows what she’s been

up to or who she’s been with? Don't be naive, Melissa. You're not twelve years old. If you could havesmartened up a little, you wouldn't let that Elvis fool you!”

Her tone turned stern. She had neglected Melissa's upbringing due to her power struggle withMagnolia, resulting in her daughter's twisted perspective.

Melissa's cheeks flushed at her mother's rebuke. She had no comeback, and after a moment ofsilence, she left the room.

Seeing Melissa's return, Megan rushed over. “Melissa, can I see Mrs. Stirling now?”
