Chapter 468

“It's fine,” Aurelia waved off the concern, understanding the struggles of parenthood. She bentdown to pick up the scattered contents of her purse, with Leah and Jelena jumping in to help.Suddenly, Leah found a button-like object next to the vanity mirror.

She picked it up, inspected it, and gasped, “Aurelia, is this yours?”

“There was nothing there before, and it must be Aurelia’s,” Jelena reasoned.

Aurelia examined the object, “This isn't mine. Why is it in my purse?”

Megan gave a smile, playing along with Melissa.

“Leopold said the same thing, and he was so happy. Last night, he was lying on my belly, talking toour baby.”

Aurelia’s heart clenched. Even though Leopold had implied the child might not be his, it didn'tmean he was completely faithful to her. It was unlikely that Megan was foolish enough to have anaffair, risking a bastard child. This would be impossible in the Stirling family because the child wouldhave to have a paternity test at birth.

Jelena scoffed, “As a homewrecker, you're still trying to act all high and mighty. Everyone knows theStirlings don't accept you. Even if you give birth to a child, your child would not about be the heir.”That hit Megan in the gut.

Yesterday she went to the Stirling Mansion and asked Melissa to tell Jessica the good news abouther pregnancy, wanting to get married early, not realizing that Jessica would simply ignore her.She was furious. In her mind, Jessica was a stumbling block. She had to replace a way to get her killed,and then the Stirling family would be in her hands.

Melissa jumped to Megan's defense, “Mom has agreed to legitimize Megan once the baby is born.She's legally married to Leopold and should be the matriarch of the Stirling family.”

Jelena scoffed, “Are you stupid or just naive? If Aurelia and Leopold hadn't divorced, Elvis wouldn'thave pursued Aurelia, and you would have had a chance. Now you have no chance at all. You're justshooting yourself in the foot. I've seen fools, but not like you, counting the money after beingsold.”

Melissa's face turned beet red, a mix of embarrassment and anger.
