Chapter 12
Jessica cast her a glance. She knew all about it. Her heart condition was a concern for Leopold, who,
in his anxiety, had shared the truth with her “You know how Leopold is, once he’s made up his mind,
no one can change it, she said, clutching her chest in feigned distress. “My poor grandchild, just like
that gone Every time I think of it, it breaks my heart I need to be down”
With a wave of her hand, a housemaid rushed to her side, helping her up the stairs. Jessica was no
fool, she saw through Elowen’s act Leopold entered the room, an icy, serious expression on his face.
“That’s in the past, no one is to speak of it again.”
Elowen didn’t wera to bring it up, but she was anxious. She was afraid he would deceive her, perhaps
secretly keeping the child.
Leopold, why do you still keep Aurelia in the company? Aren’t you afraid she’ll reveal the truth about
the child?”
Leopold narrowed his eyes, a warning chill emanating from him. “That’s none of your concern. The fact
that I haven’t held you accountable for Kelly’s situation should make you grateful.”
Elowen shivered. “Are you defending her?” Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
Tve always been able to separate my personal and professional life. If you dare to interfere with Aurelia
again, I won’t forgive you.”
With that, Leopold turned and ascended the stairs, not wanting to waste another glance on her. Elowen
was terrified.
In the past, although Leopold was always cold to her, he had never warned her about a woman. That
was weird!
‘Leopold, Aurelia is not a good woman. Her personal life is a mess, she’s had several boyfriends.
Maybe she was already pregnant before the artificial insemination, and the child isn’t yours at all. It’s
good that you’re smart and aborted the child, otherwise, you’d be deceived by her.” Elowen tried to tarnish Aurelia’s image, hoping to arouse Leopold’s suspicion.
Leopold paused momentarily, then continued up the stairs.
These days, Aurelia’s pregnancy symptoms were getting more intense. She felt nauseous whenever
she was hungry.
She could only keep some snacks at hand to curb the nausea. A call came from the reception desk,
someone was looking for her.
Outside was a strange middle–aged woman, dressed in designer clothes, clearly wealthy.
“Are you looking for me?” Aurelia asked.
The woman looked her up and down, scoffing, “You little bitch. No wonder you can lure men.”
Aurelia was confused and instinctively took a few steps back. “I think you’ve got the wrong person.”
The voice of the receptionist came from the side. “That’s Mrs. Bright, the wife of Mr. Bright from the
Bright Group.”
Mr. Bright from the Bright Group? Aurelia remembered. He was the old pervert who harassed her at the
jewelry exhibition last month. She had scolded him and made him run off.
Could it be that the old pervert held a grudge and sent his wife for revenge?
“Mrs. Bright, if you want to settle scores, you should go to your husband. I’m very busy at work, so I
won’t accompany you.”
As she turned to leave, Mrs. Bright rushed forward, grabbing her arm, “You bitch. You seduced my
husband and even got pregnant. Who else should I go to?”
What? Aurelia was taken aback. This was a joke, right?
“You can’t just say anything you want. I have nothing to do with your husband. False accusations are
illegal.”
“I have evidence, otherwise I wouldn’t have come looking for you.”
Mrs. Bright threw a stack of photos from her bag. In them was a naked woman, who was on the bed
with the old pervert.
Aurelia suddenly realized the seriousness of the situation. Someone was trying to smear her!
“These photos are photoshopped. The woman in them is not me. Someone is trying to frame me.”
Mrs. Bright didn’t believe it, her eyes wide with rage. “If it’s not you, then who is it?”
“You’ll have to ask your husband.”
Money makes the world go round. This old pervert was rich, so there wouldn’t be a shortage of women
willing to offer themselves to him.
Just then, Kelly came out from the inside. “Aurelia, I’ve noticed you’ve been retching lately. Are you
pregnant?”
