Melissa reassured, "My mother must've been confused by Aurelia, refusing to let you marry into the family. But don't worry. I'll talk to her and swing her to your side."
Megan was disappointed. Perhaps she should return home and rally her parents to negotiate with Jessica.
The Alcott family dreamed of their daughters marrying into the Stirling family and becoming the lady of the house. Three years ago, their younger daughter Evelyn failed. They would spare no effort to support Megan this time.
"I will prove to Mrs. Stirling that I am the most suitable daughter-in-law."
Melissa sighed lightly, "The reason my mother is partial to Aurelia is because of Kane. After all, he's the Stirling family's direct heir. If Aurelia leaves and you take her place, it will affect Kane!"
A cold light flickered in Megan's eyes. Once she rose to power, the next one she would get rid of would be this little brat.
The successor of the Stirling family could only be her children. She must eliminate Aurelia's brat. There was no way Kane could compete with her children for the family business.
"Mel, you'll help me, right?"
"Of course, I will stand by your side," Melissa responded without hesitation.
A cunning smile appeared on Megan's face. This simple-minded woman was a useful pawn.
It was at the office of the Design Department at Astral Enterprises.
Emma walked into the director's office.
"I heard Leopold was divorcing you to marry Evelyn's sister, Megan?" Emma said to Aurelia.
Aurelia lifted her head, glancing at her. "Are you here to gloat?"
She knew Megan wanted more than only to be Leopold's wife. Megan also hoped her children could become the future heir of the Stirling family.
Once she successfully married Leopold, the next step would be to get rid of Kane to make way for her own children. She had great ambition, just like Magnolia.
Aurelia would never let Kane get hurt. She would spare no cost to protect him from danger, even if it meant becoming a villain!
For her child, a woman can fight hard.
When she finished work in the evening, she saw Evelyn exit the elevator door.
Evelyn was there to see her.
"How about a little catch-up at a coffee shop nearby?"
