The CEO’S Unplanned Heir novel (Aurelia and Leopold) novel Chapter 1122

Sheryl had already concocted the perfect plan to commit murder by proxy. Why on earth would she do it herself and dirty her hands?

Leopold darkened his gaze slightly. Aurelia, too, was taken aback. She had to admit Sheryl had said something a mother ought to say.

Any normal person wouldn't dream of using their child as a weapon, transforming their flesh and blood into a murderer.

They had intended to persuade Sheryl to turn herself in, yet this encounter had turned into a suspense drama.

While they pondered, Sheryl pierced the silence again, "You're Jelena's cousin, so you must know she has always been meticulous about her figure, very strict with her diet. She never touches chocolate. I'm aware of that. I've watched her streams and she often mentions her aversion to chocolate. So, if I wanted to do her in, why would I use chocolate? If she didn't eat it, she'd probably pass it to Fredric, and then wouldn't I accidentally poison Fredric instead?"

Her words captured Leopold's undivided attention.

If Sheryl was telling the truth, if someone was indeed impersonating her, then the real target must be Kane, Aurelia, and Fredric!

"I'll get to the bottom of this. In the meantime, don't leave Elysium."

Sheryl was frightened now, too scared to venture anywhere.

"This is terrifying. It's definitely a plot. You must find whoever is impersonating me. I refuse to take the fall for a murderer." said Sheryl.

Leopold and Aurelia had left,

Inside the car, Aurelia queried, "Do you believe what Sheryl said?"

Fredric was stunned, "Could it be Sheryl's double? She once had a stand-in for a film, remarkably similar to her, and she mimicked Sheryl to perfection. Perhaps someone bribed her to pose as Sheryl and strike indirectly!"

Aurelia stirred her cup of seafood chowder, considering that with a few cosmetic tweaks, two similar-looking people could be indistinguishable.

"Fredric, there's something else you should know. The intended victims of the poisoning are Kane, myself, and you, not Jelena."

"What?" Fredric shivered uncontrollably, "She wants to murder me? Are you sure?"

Aurelia explained, "Remember, Jelena doesn't eat chocolate. Anyone who's seen her streams would know that. If she wouldn't eat it, it would surely end up with you. If the perpetrator had asked Nina to give you the chocolate, Nina would have refused, so they resorted to a more indirect approach, passing it through Jelena to you."
