The CEO’S Unplanned Heir novel (Aurelia and Leopold) novel Chapter 1067

Beverley nodded like a bobblehead doll, "Aurelia, you're right on the money. Joyce's restless spirit must be haunting Fredric and Sheryl, that's why Fredric's getting more and more fed up with Sheryl. We need to get Sheryl to hold a proper memorial and lay Joyce's grievances to rest."

After hashing it out, they made their way to Sheryl's place.

At that moment, Sheryl was in her room, tearing a strip off Mira.

"Why'd I have to get stuck with a blockhead like you? You're no help at all. If you were a boy, my life wouldn't be so pitiful. You're here to collect a debt from a past life, aren't you?"

Mira, the picture of misery, started to sob uncontrollably.

Aurelia bustled in, scooping Mira into her arms and saying, "Sheryl, you're upset, but you can't take it out on Mira."

Beverley chimed in, "Come on, Mira's just six, and what does she know? She's already a good girl, and what more do you want?"

Sheryl flopped onto the bed, shouting, "What's the use of having a daughter? If I had a son, I wouldn't be this powerless."

Beverley pouted, "Men change their hearts, and no amount of sons will keep them. Remember Jessica? She had Leopold, but that didn't stop Chad from walking out on her. He ended up divorcing her all the same. Besides, Fredric isn't the patriarch, so having a son doesn't mean much. Even if you had a son, he couldn't vote for you in the Stirling family council meetings. Only heirs of age get to vote in our family."

Sheryl's face turned pale, "If I had a son, at least I could inherit his estate."

Beverley said, "Fredric's riches are his own, not like an heir who controls the whole Stirling estate. Don't forget that Chad handed over all his wealth to Arnold. Sure, it's not the Stirling way, but he set a precedent. Fredric might just follow suit."

Sheryl panicked, "So you're telling me, after all this, I might end up with nothing?"

Beverley sent Nina and Mira to play in another room, then lowered her voice, "Ever thought that maybe a vengeful spirit is behind you and Fredric hitting the skids?"
