EnglishStoryChapter 80 She took a sip of her coffee, then continued, “Back in the day, if | had carried on crying and causing a scene like her, your brother would have found a hundred excuses to divorce me and make his mistress the main lady.” Elowen almost fainted. She couldn't bear it. She couldn't even tolerate a grain of sand in her heart. How could she possibly tolerate another woman? Just as she was about to speak, Leopold returned. He looked at Elara and smirked, “Aunt Jessica's here. Anything important? | have a meeting to attend soon.” “Nothing much, just came to chit-chat with my sister-in-law.” Elara quickly changed her tone, becoming very gentle.
Elowen wasn’t pleased. She pouted so much she could hang an oil can on her lips.
“Were you with Evelyn all day yesterday?” Leopold took a sip of his coffee, leaning back into the couch, looking at her teasingly, “I've always. considered Evelyn as a sister, and | can’t touch women. What are you worrying about?” His words left Elowen speechless. She lowered her head in frustration, fiddling with her fingers.

“Leopold, you still haven't recovered?” Leopold held his forehead and sighed, “I have nerve damage. It's a medical challenge, whether | can recover is still unknown.” “Perhaps, you could try with Elowen. A little stimulation might help.” Elara whispered. A man’s potency can be easily tested.
Leopold swirled the coffee in his cup, a hint of helplessness in his eyes, “We tried. She personally tested it. It didn’t work.” His voice was low, almost as if he was talking to himself, but Elara heard every word. She was taken aback, looking at her daughter.
Elowen bit her lip, her eyes teary. She was deeply disappointed that there was absolutely no response.
Jessica put her coffee cup on the table, her expression turned serious, “Let's avoid discussing women in front of Leopold. As the head of the Stirling family, he can't lose face.” Now Elara was truly worried. What if he really couldn't recover? Would her daughter end up a widow? On the other side of Elysium, Aurelia received a call from her brother.
He was getting along well with Nydia, who was also very fond of him, offering him a three-year contract.
“Serenity Films is planning a new web series, and Nydia promised to help me land the role of the second male lead.” “Wow, landing a major role in your first series, Avery has a bright future,” Aurelia chuckled.
*Sis, Arno helped me so much. | need to thank him properly.” “I handle that for you.” Aurelia had already thought of what to gift Arno. She was certain he'd like it.

Although their team was small, they couldn't be trampled over by Evelyn.
What she didn’t expect was, the next morning, Evelyn's team came to confront her.
“Manager Aurelia, we heard you invited Mr. Harry and a few branch managers of the marketing department for dinner yesterday.
We agreed to compete fairly, and you've already started playing dirty” Emma, Evelyn's mouthpiece, grumbled.
Jenny snorted, “Didn’t you guys also invite the marketing department for a trip to the resort? Don’t think we don’t know.” Emma covered her mouth in disbelief, “What are you talking about? We all spent the weekend working on new designs at home, we didn’t have time for a vacation.” “On Friday, Ms. Evelyn herself said she was going to Moonlight Lake. Everyone heard it.” “Ms. Evelyn did say that, but everyone thought home would be quieter, so we canceled.” As Emma spoke, she exchanged a cryptic smile with Evelyn.
“Manager Aurelia, the company strictly prohibits such behavior. You openly violated company rules. I've already sent an email to Mr. Leopold. You better explain yourself to him later.
