Leopold always felt that her words carried an undercurrent of spite. "Are you sure you wantto exercise my veto?" She huffed softly, "I know my place. How could | ever sway your decisions? Ever since we met, you've always treatedlike dirt under your shoe, the big-shot boss. When have you ever takenseriously? If | had the power to make you listen to me, | must have slipped into an alternate universe where the sun rises in the west, and Halley's Comet is on a collision course with Earth." Her words were not just a jab at Leopold but also a message to Jelena, making it clear she had no power to persuade Leopold. He wouldn't give her thoughts or opinions a second glance.

William crossed his arms like a little adult, letting out a long sigh, "Dad's the best. He listens to Mom about everything." Leopold's mouth twitched in annoyance. He hated being compared to Arnold. Yet everyone, including Aurelia, often did so.

If it hadn't been for Magnolia's intervention, tricking Arnold into marrying Lisa and booting him out of the race, Aurelia would never have cback to him.

As he was about to speak, Kane's voice cfrom the side, "My dad did it for Nina and Mira. | don't want Fredric and Sheryl to split up either. It would break Nina and Mira's home, and they'd be so sad. Aren't we kids part of the family too? Why don't adults consider our thoughts when making decisions? Isn't that a bit selfish?" At the family meeting, he would follow Leopold's lead and vote against it.

Even if Aurelia agreed, he would oppose it. He always had his own independent thoughts.

Although he loved Jelena, there were better options for her. Why break up Nina and Mira's home? Aurelia was startled. Truth be told, she had completely forgotten that Kane had a say in this.

The heir's vote counted as double.

"I'll go get sfruit. Aunt Gilda just got to Elysium, and let's not dwell on these upsetting thoughts. Tomorrow my parents will show you around and ensure you have a good time." She headed to the kitchen, and William followed.

"Mommy, | think it's better when you live withand Dad. Back in Goldstone, Dad and | would listen to everything you said. You were the head of the household. Now, in the Stirling family, no one listens to you. Everyone listens to Uncle Leopold, even Kane.

Your position in the family is so low, and you're isolated. It's pitiful." William's words were a stinging blow.

Aurelia was speechless and helpless.

"Actually in a family, it shouldn't be one person calling all the shots. We should listen to whoever is right." William's childish voice countered, "But right now, Uncle Leopold is the one calling all the shots in your house. In our home, Dad always says you are right, and following you is never wrong." "Uncle Leopold isn't as bad as you think. He does have sgood qualities." Aurelia forced a stiff smile, but her hand uncontrollably grabbed the fruit knife and split the apple with a thwack, as if venting frustration.

William stroked his chin, "What good qualities does Uncle Leopold have?" He was dictatorial, domineering, aggressive, manipulative, cold-hearted, and arrogant...Aurelia mentally rattled off his flaws as her knife frenetically diced the apple.

Had she really not noticed any of Leopold's good points? Besides being handsome, everything else about him seemed terrible.

William glanced at the chopping board, pulling a face, "Mommy, are you making apple crumble?" It was only then that Aurelia realized her blunder and quickly covered it up, "I'm planning to make a fruit salad. | need to cut the apples into smaller pieces."
