NovelBookChapter 621 For Aurelia, the idea of Megan suffering from somnambulism was troubling, but not something she desired to exploit. Her moral compass simply wouldn't allow it.
Even with a video as evidence, she wouldn't dream of sending it to Evelyn.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe knew all too well that it would become the talk of the town among the high society elite if she sent the video to Evelyn.
[You should really talk to her family, persuade her to get proper treatment. She should stop thinking it's someone else who's harming her, and if she keeps this up, she could have a breakdown. That would be a real mess.] [She's cursing your name at home, vowing revenge, even threatening your life. Watch your back.] Aurelia snorted with a hint of mockery, [I'm the perfect scapegoat, who else but me?] She wasn't about to sit around waiting for disaster. She was ready to face whatever came head-on.
Meanwhile, Megan was fuming. She had become the laughingstock of the elite, as exposed as a turkey on Thanksgiving. The higher she had soared, the harder her fall. Everyone was betting on when she'd be shown the door.
Hellbent on revenge, Megan considered seeking out a voodoo priest to curse Aurelia, to disfigure her into a creature of nightmares.
That evening, Leopold showed up, and they reveled in their private world within the confines of his car.
"Who leaked Megan's secret?" "Evelyn, Leopold said gravely, having traced the leak's IP address right back to Megan's place. There was no doubt it was Evelyn's doing.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAurelia gasped, ‘She's even against her own sister, such betrayal.” If she had sent that sleepwalking video, it would probably be viral by now.
"Now Megan's out for blood, trying to pin this whole mess on me. I'm wandering if she's truly sleepwalking, or if it's all an act she's put on with her accomplice, just to frame me. Otherwise, who could pull off such a stunt?" Leopold stroked his chin thoughtfully, "Did you know Skyler has a doctorate in psychology?" Aurelia’s heart skipped a beat, “You don't think Skyler's behind this? Sure, he has degrees galore, but that doesn't mean he earned them all. Geoffrey could have taken his place at school, sat his exams for him." Leopold fell silent, acknowledging the possibility.
Aurelia continued, "Didn't you take her to a doctor? They confirmed she has somnambulism. Maybe we're overthinking this. It's all typical of the condition, wandering around at night." “What about the incident on the botanical garden's suspension bridge?" Leopold pressed.
Aurelia pondered briefly, "The authorities investigated, remember? An acute psychotic episode. With all the pressure these days, it's no wonder we're seeing spikes in depression, mania, and schizophrenia.
Leopold reached out, affectionately ruffling her hair. "You sound just like an official.” She smiled wryly, "If Megan hadn't tried to smear my name, | wouldn't be so detached and rational. Evelyn says she's out for revenge." A menacing glint passed in Leopold's eyes as he said, "If she so much as harm you, she'll find herself in a mental institution before she knows it." Aurelia figured he was all talk. After all, Megan was his former flame.
What was she in comparison? Merely a trophy.
"Megan's pregnant. No mental institution will take her until the baby's born. That child is her trump card, and she'll use it to her advantage.” A smirk crossed Leopold's face, "In my world, there's no such thing as a trump card.” Aurelia unscrewed a bottle of juice and took a sip to change the subject, "Now that Geoffrey's arrived in Elysium, he's bound to cause trouble. We should stay alert and bolster our defenses." Leopold pulled her close, “Are you worried about me?"
