Aurelia said, “I haven't lied to you. From the moment he was born, something was off. He wouldn't
interact with anyone. After the doctors examined him, they diagnosed him with autism. But there's a
silver lining, and we caught it early. With treatment, he could get better.”
Megan clutched her head, convinced that Aurelia had poisoned her, which caused her unborn child to
develop autism. “It was you. You poisoned me and now my child is suffering because of it.” she
snapped. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
Aurelia replied, “Stop talking nonsense. Your child's autism is a genetic issue, totally unrelated to
anything else.”
She had checked with Skyler. The substance in question couldn't cross the placental barrier, so it
couldn't possibly affect the baby.
“That's a load of crap.” Megan cursed, her words tangled in anger, “No one in my family has ever had
autism. My genes are perfect, a hundred times, a thousand times, a million times better than yours.”
Beverley pulled a face at her, “Please, I heard that your father has an illegitimate child out there, a child
with autism, getting treatment abroad in secret. He's afraid his genes are at fault. That's why he
stopped sowing his mistress. If it wasn't for that, you and Evelyn wouldn't even be in the picture with
the Alcotts.”
Megan's mouth twisted as if stung by a wasp, her lips nearly splitting to her ears. She had tried to
forget that bastard child, indeed born with autism. The mistress had been so brazen, flaunting her
pregnancy to challenge Callie’s position.
But then her son was born with a disability, and her arrogance was silenced. Otherwise, she might
have pushed her way into the family, displacing the legitimate matriarch, Callie.
“That bastard kid probably isn't even my dad's,” Megan spat out.
Aurelia calmly spoke, “The child is getting better with treatment. You don't need to worry. As long as
you don't interfere, he'll live a good life with his father.”
“My child's father is Leopold. So he is with Leopold, right?” Megan's voice shot up an octave.
“Your child has nothing to do with Leopold. How could someone as smart as him fall for your
schemes?” replied Aurelia.
Beverley snorted, “Who knows which random guy you found to father your child, trying to pass it off as
one of ours. Leopold would never touch you. He's devoted to Aurelia.”
Megan's face was drained of color, pale as a sheet. Deep down, she knew she had been duped.
Leopold had sent someone to impersonate him, to deceive her, but she couldn't face that harsh reality.
Megan let out a cold laugh, “Yeah, right. Men are all about looks. Unless Leopold isn't really a man. I
don't believe he'll still want Aurelia once she's old. He's always surrounded by young, beautiful women.
Who'd want an old lady with sagging skin, wrinkles, and white hair? Even women prefer young,
handsome, vibrant men. Tell me, which wealthy couple actually grows old together? Men have
mistresses on the side, and all the men in the Stirling family are no different. Isn't your dad enjoying his
fling with that young starlet?” New chapter avаilable oո Drаmаnovels.com
Aurelia's heart skipped a beat and thought, “Uncle Charles involved with a starlet?”
