Chapter 497

Chapter 497

Jessica looked shocked. “You don't think...”

She stopped waving her hand dismissively. “No, I've met the boy. He's timid and stutters a bit. In noway he’s the sharpest tool in the shed. He couldn't have done such a thing. The Heninger familywouldn't allow it

Leopold's eyes deepened, bottomless and inscrutable. “I'll accompany you back to the Heninger'sresidence for Grandma's 90th birthday. We'll meet him then.”

“Very well” Jessica nodded approvingly.

At that moment, the butler announced Melissa's arrival.

Leopold had forbidden her from freely entering the Stirling Mansion. She could only enter withpermission and stay on the first floor like a guest.

Jessica instructed the butler to let her in

Melissa was on the verge of despair. Since Leopold froze her family’s trust fund, she had been livingon borrowed money with her debts piling up.

When she entered, she began to complain, “Mom, when will my allowance be reinstated? I'm nearlyout of money for food.”

Jessica stared at her. “If you can't afford food, replace a job. Stop lazing around.”

Melissa's eyes welled up with tears as she said, “Mom, my health condition stops me from gettingup early. If I get up early, I'll have no energy for the rest of the day.”

"Save your breath. Begging won't help.” Leopold put down his coffee cup, his gaze cold and sharpas a blade. The trust fund was under his control. Without his order, no one else's words held anysway.

Melissa pretended to be poor right there. “Are you trying to starve your sister to death?”

“I have many sisters. Your presence or absence won't make a difference,” Leopold's tone waschilling, devoid of warmth. Even the sunlight that streamed in seemed to freeze in its presenceMelissa shivered at his words.

"What do I have to do to get my allowance back?”

Leopold remained impassive. “You have two choices now. First, get a job. Second, get married andreplace a man to support you.”

She was too naive and easily manipulated. Only with no money would she behave.

Melissa broke down into sobs. “You think I don't want to get married? It's that blind fool

Chapter 497

Elvis who doesn’t want me. He'd rather have that slut Aurelia than me. He's trying to drive me tomy grave.”

A dark, menacing aura rose from Leopold's handsome face. “If you dare to insult Aurelia again, I'lfreeze your trust fund indefinitely.”

Melissa hated Aurelia with a burning passion.

She believed a girl like Aurelia should be trampled under her feet and crushed to bits, but no matterhow hard she tried, Aurelia kept climbing higher and higher, basking in glory.

Even the man she loved most was ensnared by Aurelia’s charm

It was a slap to her face, completely shattering her pride.

“Weren't you sick of her when you kicked her out? Why are you still defending her?”

“That's my business, not yours. If you want to restore your trust fund, behave yourself and stopprovoking Aurelia,” Leopold warned.

"Do you want me to just sit back and watch as she takes Elvis away? Elvis is mine. Anyone who triesto take him from me is messing up with me. I won't just sit back and do nothing!” Melissa was filledwith indignation.

Leopold retorted coldly, “Aurelia has no interest in Elvis. He's infatuated, just like you.”

Jessica sighed, “Melissa, Elvis doesn't love you. Your obsession with him won't change that and willonly make him despise you more. There are plenty of fish in the sea. Why must you hang on tohim?”

“I will only marry the best man, and Elvis is the best. One day, he'll realize I am the woman who suitshim best, and we're from equal social status. Those common girls are no match for him,” Melissainsisted those girls were out of Elvis's league, especially Aurelia.
