This weekend, the social elite were abuzz with excitement over a yacht party.
Aurelia, accompanied by Arnold, Skyler and William, was among the guests.
Leopold arrived with Lana on his arm.
The news of his impending divorce from Megan to marry Lana was the talk of the town.
As they boarded the yacht, all eyes discreetly followed them.

It seemed Aurelia wouldn't be rekindling her romance with Leopold but rather becoming his sister-in-law. After a long and tumultuous history, their paths ultimately diverged.
Tanya was there too, with Sierra and the family doctor in tow.
Of course, she had also informed Megan, who, still recovering from her recent ordeal, could only hide behind a mask.
This was botched checkmate attempt, a total defeat. Not only had she failed to eliminate Kane, but she'd also been avenged upon.. The worst part was she'd inadvertently set the stage for Lana's triumph.
Attempting to approach Leopold, Megan was stopped by a bodyguard, "I'm sorry, Ms. Alcott, Mr. Leopold has requested you not to approach." A surge of rage nearly choked Megan. They used to call her Madam, and now she was demoted to Ms. Alcott.
"Our divorce isn't final yet, so I'm still his wife." "The instructions to address you as such came from Mr. Leopold himself," the bodyguard replied, offering her no quarter.
Megan wanted to hang herself right there, in front of Leopold.
"Leopold, | won't divorce you, not unless I'm dead." "Then you might as well be dead," Lana muttered with a smirk, "You want to cry about it? That approach of yours won't work on my man." She loudly emphasized Leopold was her man to make Megan utterly humiliated.
Megan knew that if she couldn't secure the antidote to counteract the poison in her system, she'd have to trade the antibacterial with Aurelia's antidote. And her only leverage over Leopold would vanish.
And Aurelia seemed to have a death wish, unafraid of their mutual destruction, immune to intimidation.
"He's my husband, and | won't let you take my place," voiced Megan, her words seething with anger.

Leopold glanced at her with disdain, “I'm marrying her, and not even the Almighty can stop me, let alone you. I'll have my lawyers draft the divorce papers. A conniving witch like you doesn't deserve to be my wife." Megan felt as if struck by lightning, her world spinning.
Tanya stepped in, playing peacemaker, "Leopold, she's carrying your child. For the baby's sake, let's not embarrass her too much." "She deserves it," Leopold retorted coldly, "A woman who tries to threaten me only has one way out." His voice was icy, sending chills through the air.
Megan was on the verge of hysteria, "I'm carrying your child, and you can't do this to me." "The child’s life is the only mercy you'll receive from me," Leopold snorted.
The onlookers savored the in silence, stealing glances at the unfolding spectacle.
Jewel quickly whisked Megan away to their room.
"Leopold despises you now. Keep a low profile, or it's your reputation on the line," Jewel cautioned.
Megan stomped her foot in frustration, "When will the Boss give me the antidote?" Jewel shrugged, "You think making an antidote is easy? The Boss is busy with more important things than catering to your needs." Megan gritted her teeth, "Then he should send an assassin for Lana. That woman is humiliating me, and if she doesn't die, my hatred will never be appeased." "Lana is well-guarded. Leopold treats her like a treasure, making an assassination near impossible," Jewel explained, "Even if she dies, someone else will take her place. You're in Leopold's bad books. Unless you can find a way to win back his favor, he will divorce you."
