The CEO’S Unplanned Heir novel (Aurelia and Leopold) novel Chapter 1119

"Do you suspect yesterday's murder might be tied to Nina?" Leopold asked.

"I just think she's acting off," whispered Aurelia, casting her gaze downward. "Yesterday afternoon, she just vanished. I went looking for her with the bodyguard, and she seemed to be coming back from the front gate. Maybe she met someone?"

Leopold knitted his thick brows together, "Could it have been Sheryl?"

Aurelia replied, "I asked her about it, and she said she just wanted to take a stroll."

Leopold stroked his chin thoughtfully.

"If the green chocolate was poisoned, and Nina knew about it, why would she give it to those two?"

Aurelia's voice was soft, "That's what baffles me, too. That's why it's just a suspicion. Nina gave green chocolates to the two victims and Jelena. Jelena didn't eat it and passed it to Fredric, who then gave it to Mira. Nina thought Mira had eaten the chocolate and was crying a lot after. Nina's always been nice. She wouldn't throw a tantrum just because her sister ate some of her chocolate, would she?"

Leopold darkened his eyes slightly, "What you're saying does sound suspicious."

Aurelia went over to the bar and poured two glasses of juice, handing one to him. "I hope I'm just overly sensitive. Nina's a good and sensible girl. Despite her young age, she knows right from wrong and shouldn't be involved in something like this."

Leopold's deep eyes glittered with an icy sharpness under the lamp's glow.

"Unless it was Sheryl pulling the strings."

Aurelia furrowed her brow, "She wants to kill Jelena?"

A cold and chilling aura crept onto Leopold's handsome face. "If the chocolate was poisoned, and there were three pieces, then she's aiming for more than just Jelena."

Aurelia shuddered. "Me and Kane, too?"
