The CEO’S Unplanned Heir novel (Aurelia and Leopold) novel Chapter 1066

He would never forgive Sheryl, not in a million years.

Aurelia glanced at the two of them, a storm of emotion twisting inside her at the thought that Jelena might be scheming against Chloe out of vengeance, deliberately getting close to Fredric to drive a wedge between him and Sheryl. It was like an earthquake had shaken her soul to its core.

Looking back, Jelena always seemed to harbor intense hatred whenever she mentioned Sheryl. Could it all be because of Chloe?

After lunch, Aurelia quietly pulled Beverley aside.

"Do you believe in ghosts?" she whispered.

"Of course, I do," Beverley replied, her belief in the supernatural unshakable, "People have souls, and even when the body is gone, the soul lives on."

"And do you believe in vengeful spirits?" Aurelia pressed on.

"If there are ghosts, then vengeful spirits make sense. Some are so filled with anger from their past lives, so intent on revenge, they refuse to move on, becoming restless ghosts that haunt those who wronged them, cursing them with misfortune," Beverley explained, then asked with concern, "Aurelia, you haven't had a ghostly encounter, have you? You're too kind-hearted for that."

Aurelia's voice dropped to a conspiratorial hush, "It's not me, I mean, it's Sheryl."

"Sheryl?" Beverley gasped, covering her mouth in shock, "You think she's haunted by a vengeful spirit? Could it be her?"
