The CEO’S Unplanned Heir novel (Aurelia and Leopold) novel Chapter 1130

Nina and Mira dashed over from the backyard, their cheeks flushed with the excitement of play.

Aurelia said, “Sheryl, Leopold is investigating the impersonator discreetly. For now, it's best you stay indoors. We’re beefing up security at home and adding some extra bodyguards to make sure no one takes advantage of the situation again.”

Sheryl nodded, “Got it.”

Nina swiveled around her big and round eyes before she covered her mouth and whispered conspiratorially, “Mom, we’re safe and sound here at the Stirling Mansion, so don’t worry. Let’s make up a secret code, okay? You have to get it right to prove it’s really you.”

“Sure.” Sheryl stroked her daughter’s cheek.

Leaning in close, Nina whispered a few words into her mother’s ear. Sheryl nodded in understanding, “I’ll remember that.”

Back at the Stirling Mansion, it was time for the kids to get ready for bed.

After her evening shower, Aurelia settled on the couch and flicked on the TV to catch Avery’s latest show. Leopold brought over a fruit platter and sat next to her, gently offering her slices of apple.

Biting into a crisp piece, Aurelia asked softly, “Have you heard how the victim’s wife is doing? Is she still being held at the station?”

“She’s been released on bail,” Leopold replied. The police had ruled out the chocolate poisoning and couldn’t tie anything to Sheryl for the time being. He planned to keep the cops in the dark until they caught the fake Sheryl, got a confession, and then handed over the evidence.

Aurelia shimmered her dark eyes in the lamplight with a touch of frost in her gaze.

“Sheryl mentioned that Lisbeth has been stirring up trouble to drive a wedge between us. It seems the work of the impostor. They’ve made their move, and even without hard evidence, we can’t just sit on our hands.”

A grim resolve washed over Leopold’s handsome features. If it weren’t for Raines and Elfreda, Leopold would have taken care of the impostor himself.

“We’ll beat them at their own game,” Leopold declared.
