Chapter 50
Aurelia offered a slight smile. “If I’m not mistaken, you’re preparing a statement to declare me as the real designer of the ‘Whisper‘ series, aren’t you?”
Leopold was sharp as a tack, incredibly clever, with suspicions already forming in his mind.
The ‘Whisper‘ series has been out for some time now. No need to worry about it affecting sales anymore.
Take advantage of the Paris exhibition, put her in the spotlight, get her name out there, the timing was perfect, it’s nothing but beneficial.
Leopold extended his hand, gently patting her head. She had got a quick mind indeed.
“Your cleverness is quite impressive when used for good.”
Aurelia pulled a face at him. Her path had always been straight and narrow. She was always moving forward, never straying!
“Actually, I have a plan B.”
She spoke softly, a mischievous smile playing on her lips. “The thing about me is, I always have a backup plan, especially for important matters, just to ensure nothing goes wrong.”
Leopold’s lips twitched into a smile, a glint of indescribable pride flashing in his eyes.
She was a mastermind indeed, and her cleverness was not in vain!
At the exhibition center, a massive advertisement from Astral Enterprises served as the opening act of the jewelry show, catching everyone’s attention.
In the quiet night, a barefoot girl gracefully approached, as divine as Aphrodite descending from Mount Olympus, pure and dreamy, soft and foggy.
She stepped into a mystical dreamland, where dazzling jewels shimmered in the mist.
The voice–over echoed. “These jewels are embodiments of night elves, each hiding unique and mysterious codes. Find the codes, and you can unlock their past and present.”
Leopold watched the girl on screen intently, his dark icy eyes flickering under the lights, deep and unfathomable.
At the end of the commercial, a three–legged bunny hopped over to the girl’s feet.
Its fourth leg was mechanical.
A jolt ran through him. His fiery gaze suddenly turned cold, as if swept by an unexpected chill.
“Aurelia is beautiful, isn’t she?” A deep voice sounded from the side..
He turned his head to see Arnold, his gaze growing darker.
“Just an ordinary girl.”
“Really?” Arnold raised an eyebrow. “So, she’s not your type?”
A chilling glint flashed across Leopold’s eyes. “You’re overthinking.”
Arnold’s lips curled into a subtle and cunning smile. “Maybe, you do have a fiancée, after all, If you fall for
another wornan, it would surely stir up a storm in the Stirling family. Your cousin would throw a fit. I’m lucky because I can freely pursue anyone I fancy.”
As the pooke Lecould’s law tightened

He certainly–understood the insinuations in Arnold’s words..
Just then, Elowen rushed over, her lips pouting in annoyance.
Aurelia was the center of attention. With everyone showering her with praises, she was almost dizzy with
rage.
A country bumpkin, an ugly duckling, yet she was being compared to an Eastern goddess? Ridiculous!
She was the true beauty.
Seeing Amold, she complained, “Arnold, why did you make Aurelia look so beautiful in the ad?” She should’ve been portrayed as a hideous witch.
