The CEO’S Unplanned Heir novel (Aurelia and Leopold) novel Chapter 345

Chapter 345 

“Lisa, a loveless marriage is a torment for both of us. There’s someone else I love, and can’t accept any other woman besides her. Our marriage is pointless.” 

“I love you, and I don’t care about anything else.” Lisa gazed at him unwaveringly, her eyes brimming with affection. But all Arnold felt for her was disgust. 

William guessed she was the nasty stepmother. Like an angry tiger, he rushed in front of Lisa and kicked her hard, “Go away, you wicked woman. Don’t snatch my dad.” 

Lisa groaned from the pain but didn’t lose her temper because she wanted to maintain her graceful image in front of Arnold. 

“You’re William, right? I won’t snatch your dad. I just want to become a part of your family,” “No! I have a mommy.” William puffed his cheeks, hating this wicked stepmother even more than Mr. Ice. 

Arnold picked him up, saying, “William, let’s go home.” 

“Yeah.” William wrapped his arms around his neck, “Daddy, let’s ignore the bad guy,” 

Whoever wanted to break his family was a villain. 

Arnold left with him, not wanting to deal with Lisa anymore. Watching their retreating figures, Lisa felt a pang of loss, but she wouldn’t give up. She believed that where there’s a will, there’s a way. One day, she would win Arnold over. 

On Monday, as soon as Aurelia stepped into the office, Emma walked in, “Perla called me yesterday. If you think I’m going to plead with you, I’m afraid I’ll disappoint you. It’s good to keep Ritchie in jail. He brought this on himself.” 

Aurelia leisurely made a cup of coffee and asked, “She just called you? It means they’re not anxious enough. Let’s wait until she comes to beg you.” 

Emma was taken aback, “What do you mean?” 

Aurelia shrugged and said, “I know Perla too well. I thought you were competent enough to cope with her, but it seems you’re out of your league.” 

Emma kept silent and thought, “Perla was an uncultured shrew who would make a scene at the drop of a hat. Rahul was hands–off, and Ritchie was a mama’s boy. How could she possibly win? 

“I know I’m your least favorite person in the Design Department, but don’t think you can. drive me away. I won’t resign voluntarily.” Emma said. She wasn’t like others who had comfortable family backgrounds and didn’t care about the job. She had two kids to raise and a nanny to pay.

While overworking was common among some companies in Elysium, Astral Enterprises emerged as a breath of fresh air. Aside from offering competitive entaries and generous benefits, the company also boasted a positive work atmosphere, quaranteed standard working hours, ensured weekends off, and provided the flexibility to telecommute as needed. Such employment terms were a rare gem to find amidst the corporate culture of Elysium. 

Aurelia sipped her coffee and said, “Don’t worry. I always separate personal from professional. As long as you work hard, I’ll treat you the same as everyone else.” 

Emma didn’t fully trust her words, but times had changed, and Aurelia now married Min Leopold. To keep her job, she had to bow down. 

Evelyn was too stupid because she fought with Elowen and both ended up damaged, allowing Aurelia to benefit.
