The CEO’S Unplanned Heir novel (Aurelia and Leopold) novel Chapter 1031

Just then, Aurelia's phone buzzed with a message on WhatsApp from Arnold.

[Fredric stopped by my place earlier. I know all about him and Jelena. What's your plan?]

Aurelia replied with a weary emoji, [I'm pretty torn up about it all. I honestly don't know what to do.]

[You don't need to worry about anyone else. Just make the choice that's best for you. I'm always in your corner.]

Arnold was certain that this was going to put her at odds with Leopold.

Leopold would surely be against the divorce. He had already set a bad example by going against family traditions and divorcing Aurelia in private. This time around, he had to uphold the ancestral mandates and mitigate the negative impact.

Aurelia, on the other hand, was likely to side with Jelena. Her sisterly bond with Jelena was unbreakable, and she had always been fiercely protective of her family.

Knowing Leopold, he wouldn't easily budge.

In this world, only Arnold truly loved Aurelia. Leopold couldn't hold a candle to him.

Aurelia felt a sting in her heart. Without the comparison, she won't be sad.

The biggest difference between Leopold and Arnold was crystal clear. Arnold would back her unconditionally, always seeking her opinion first.

Leopold, however, expected her unwavering support, wanting her to be his rock, his most capable partner, without giving a second thought to her own desires.

Leopold glanced at her phone when he saw a message from Arnold, his brow furrowing involuntarily.

"It's late. Time for bed."

Magnolia had played these little games too, pushing Chad towards divorce. The family council shot it down unanimously, and upon realizing divorce was off the table, she cried her way into becoming his mistress.

"I'm more interested in hearing your thoughts," said Jessica

Aurelia spoke truthfully, "I'm just an outsider in this, and I don't want to meddle or pretend I can influence their decisions. If Fredric truly loves Jelena, I believe nothing will stop them. Even if the family stands in the way of their divorce, he could choose to leave it all behind, to elope with her. If it's not true love, if he's not willing to sacrifice for it, then I hope he stays away from her for good and stops this chase."

After all, Leopold would use his veto. Her support or opposition, what difference would it make?

Jessica spoke slowly, "If Fredric really dares to leave the family, then he's much stronger than Chad ever was."

Aurelia allowed herself a hint of sarcasm, "Isn't it said that true love conquers all? I'd like to see that power firsthand, seeing as I've never encountered it myself."
