Leopold's gaze was casting a profound depth in his eyes.

"Let's handle this in person once we're back tomorrow. It's hard to get to the bottom of it through text messages," he said.

"Sounds good." Aurelia set down her phone, her thoughts drifting to something Jelena had mentioned that Sheryl had been a mistress." Could she possibly know the truth? But it was better to confirm face-to-face.

Joyce crossed her mind, and a wave of sadness washed over her. She couldn't let Jelena follow in those footsteps.

"Poor Chloe, | remember her being so bubbly. She was probably the prettiest woman I've ever seen. Sheryl is attractive too, but can't hold a candle to Chloe," Aurelia Said, "She must have really loved Fredric. To be betrayed by both her lover and best friend, it's no wonder she couldn't cope and fell into depression before taking her own life. Sheryl truly did cross the line in that entire debacle." Leopold's fingers tapped on the tabletop as he drawled, "So maybe Jelena's getting close to Fredric was her way of seeking revenge." His tone was light, but it sent Aurelia's emotions into turmoil, nearly causing her to spit out the water she'd just sipped.

"What did you just say? You think Jelena got involved with him on purpose, to get back at Sheryl and Fredric?" "Why not?" Leopold arched an eyebrow, "You and Jelena grew up together. Do you really think someone with her character would fall for a playboy like Fredric?" “No way!” Aurelia thought to herself, recalling her shock when she first sensed something between Jelena and Fredric.

But she said, "Who knows? | wouldn't have fallen for someone as domineering and aloof as you either, yet here | am, accepting you. Maybe Jelena accepted Fredric because they had sex." Leopold choked momentarily.

He was about to flare up but instead, he cleverly masked his anger with a teasing tone.

"So you're saying you've fallen fornow?" "Don't flatter yourself. I'm just getting used to you," she retorted, a battle she was determined not to concede.

Leopold felt a sting in his chest.

"Can't you say something sweet, cheerup a bit?" he complained.

She rolled her eyes playfully, "You're not a child, so why should | have to coddle you?" He reached out with a strong arm, pulling her into his embrace, "I need a little pampering too, you know." Aurelia gently patted his head, her voice softening, "As long as you treatright, I'll do the sfor you." He pinched her cheek gently, "You better stay true, no wandering eyes." She chuckled, "As long as you don't lead astray, | won't stray." After a moment of silence, she stood up, picked a few tangerines from the table, and placed them on the coffee table.

"I have something to tell you, Lisbeth might be pregnant.” Leopold was visibly shaken, "Are you sure?" "I can't be sure, just a possibility." She lowered her voice, "If it's true, whose child do you think it is?" Leopold stroked his chin, his expression turning serious, "Lisbeth might just be the breakthrough we need." Aurelia nodded, understanding his point, "She's been with Raines for a while now, maybe there's saffection there. After all, it's quite a challenge for any woman to resist a man as handsand successful as Raines. If we can tap into that emotion, we might be closer to the truth." Leopold nodded slightly, "Raines and Lisbeth's wedding is coming up soon. I'll be sure to give them a memorable gift." When lunchtcaround, everyone gathered in the dining room.

Fredric's face still showed traces of his earlier anger.
