Chapter 440

After what felt like forever, he finally let her go, his long fingers lingering over her heart.“Remember, you're mine. If you forget, Ill be here to remind you.”

She was embarrassed, uncomfortable, and angry, gathering her scattered clothes from the floorand hurriedly dressing

“You... you're a beast!” she spat.

“I'm only a beast for you,” he replied, a wicked smile playing on his lips.

Just then, his secretary's voice echoed from outside the room, “Mr. Leopold, your wife is here.”“I'm busy. Have her wait,” Leopold replied, donning his clothes and instantly regaining his refinedand handsome appearance.

Aurelia rushed to the mirror, adjusting her clothing in fear that their indiscretion might bediscovered. It felt like they were sneaking around, stealing forbidden moments. Yes, that's exactlywhat they were doing. She was his ex-wife, and he was now married to another

woman.

He was so powerful that she couldn't escape whenever he wanted her.

“Mr. Leopold seems to enjoy this game, just like any other man.”

"What game?” he asked, resuming his seat behind the desk, a single eyebrow raised in curiosity.She smirked, “The thrill of the chase. The wife is never as exciting as the mistress, and the mistress isnever as exciting as the one you can't have.”

He chuckled darkly, “If I'm to cheat, it'll only be you.”

Aurelia’s eyes widened in surprise and anger. She would not let him demote her from wife tomistress. Over her dead body!

“I hope this is the last time. Don’t touch me again.” With that, she opened the door and left.Leopold's lips curled into a wicked smile. She was like an addictive poppy, and he was hooked.

As she walked down the hallway, she tried to maintain a normal stride, despite the pain in her legsand hips

From far away, she could see Megan waiting impatiently on a couch. Seeing her, Megan's eyesflashed with a cold light, and she rose, walking toward Aurelia with her head held high.

“I am Leopold's wife now, the lady of Astral Enterprises. I hope you have the basic decency to stoptrying to seduce my husband.”

Aurelia snorted, “You're the homewrecker who stole my husband, and you're lecturing me aboutdecency? Isn't that funny?”

Megan's forehead vein twitched in anger. She hated the term “homewrecker.’

“I'll say it again, I'm not a homewrecker. Leopold has always loved me. You're the one who's anunwelcome third wheel.”

Aurelia looked at her coldly, as if looking at a foolish clown. “If he loved you, he wouldn't have letanother woman bear his child right after marrying you. Leopold likes simple and kind women.Someone cunning and full of schemes will only disgust him. Remember that.”

The truth will always come out. The sins committed will always be repaid.

Megan flinched as if she had been stung. She had always been a manipulative woman, and shedidn't know what kindness was.

From the moment she first saw Leopold, she had vowed to marry him. She had worked tirelesslytowards this goal and had eventually won his favor. If it weren't for her six years of absence, shewould have already been married to him. Aurelia was just a bump in her

road.

Now, she was simply reclaiming what was rightfully hers

“Leopold knows I'm the most innocent and kind woman in this world. If someone thinks I'm not,they're just trying to slander me.” With a harrumph, she headed towards Leopold's

office.

Aurelia watched her go, her mind filled with one thought — I had never seen such a shamelesswoman!
