Leopold instantly composed himself, realizing the lapse in his typically cool demeanor.
“Lying is a sin, remember that.”
“I didn't lie, I swear.”

If Leopold believed her, it would be a miracle.
A child was the best bargaining chip. How could she not use it?
“Once the child is born, it will have nothing to do with you. You shouldn't harbor any inappropriate thoughts, otherwise you won't get a penny.”
Aurelia was speechless. She never intended to take his money in the first place.
She forced a smile, “As long as you treat the child well, I'll be at ease. I'll focus all my energy on work, strive hard, and ensure the boss has nothing to worry about.”
Leopold was taken aback, his eyebrows furrowed tighter.

To avoid prying eyes, Aurelia was dropped off in front of the Astral Enterprises’ building. Unexpectedly, she ran into Leopold in the elevator.
What a strange coincidence!

Elowen had been waiting for over an hour just to catch him.
Seeing Aurelia, she sneered, “I heard you got Arnold to shoot an ad. You're not planning to go public with your relationship, are you? I was worried you were trying to seduce Leopold, but it turns out you want to be his sister-in-law!
