The CEO’S Unplanned Heir novel (Aurelia and Leopold) novel Chapter 1202

"Easy there, you're pregnant now," he cautioned.

"I don't need your concern," she snapped, trying to pry his hand away.

He quickly let go, "The only way I'll give a damn about William is if he's my son."

A tremor ran through Aurelia's shoulders.

This guy must be trying to rattle her and force the truth out.

Aurelia was almost fooled by him. She picked an orange from the table and began to peel it.

"It doesn't matter. William has his daddy to dote on him. Whether you like him or not is irrelevant. Besides, he doesn't like you either." Aurelia said.

A flush of irritation crept into Leopold's brow, "In the Stirling family, there's a world of difference between legitimate and illegitimate. I'll make sure he understands that."

His tone was like a biting chill, sending shivers down Aurelia's spine. She couldn't shake the ominous feeling settling in her heart.

"What's the difference? I wasn't aware of any."

Leopold curled his lips into a mocking sneer, "In the Stirling family, the lowest of the low is the bastard of a bastard. Soon enough, you'll find out."

Aurelia massaged her forehead. She didn't want William to be treated differently in the Stirling family, but Leopold was set on not being as accommodating as before.

In the sanatorium, Agent A had been laid up for a solid two weeks. With Christmas just around the corner, his condition was worsening, poison seeping into his marrow, turning him into a cripple.

"Has Agent S contacted you? How's the antidote coming along?"

Lisbeth shook her head, "No word yet. Has he forgotten, or is the antidote proving that difficult to make?"

Agent A's patience was on thin ice, his temper teetering on the edge. "Idiot, can't you reach out to him?"

"He always contacts you. I don't have his number, how should I get in touch? Maybe you could give me his details, and I'll contact him right now."

Lisbeth replied, "That seems unlikely. If they were behind the poison, it was probably just to teach you a lesson, not to paralyze you. The real trouble is if someone else is responsible."

Agent A glared at her fiercely, "Of course, it was them. Are you stupid? How can you still be doubting this?"

Lisbeth responded, "It's just that we have no proof. If we did, I'd have already taken it to the elders."

Agent A grunted, "This was their secret scheme. How could you find evidence?"

"So, what's your plan? You can't just lie here and wait for the end," Lisbeth pressed.

"I have no intention of just waiting to die," Agent A clenched his teeth.

Lisbeth probed, "Is there someone you want to contact? I could help."

Agent A snorted, "Nah, someone'll come find me. They reckon they can box me in by keeping me here, but they’ve got another think coming."
