The CEO’S Unplanned Heir novel (Aurelia and Leopold) novel Chapter 512

Chapter 512

Elvis felt a bit more at ease after her words, flashing a charming smile, "Then, we'll arrange something after you're not so swamped."

"Sure, she responded with a nod.

Avery, seated to her right, was eyeing a little girl picking food from the buffet cart nearby, his gaze full of indulgence.

"Look at these buttery lobster fritters. Avery and Aurelia would love them; he said.

Leah licked her lips, picked up three fritters, added some pastries, and then grabbed a cocktail, cheerfully making her way back.

A woman approached from the side, teetering on her stiletto. Suddenly, one heel buckled, and she lost her balance, stumbling right into Leah.

Leah's pastries and cocktails were sent airborne, the cocktail splashing onto her evening dress.

Leah gasped, "Are you okay?"

She extended a hand to help the woman, who was both embarrassed and irked. Unable to control her temper, she picked up her stiletto and swung it at Leah's head.

With quick reflexes, Leah raised her hand to protect her head, swiftly standing up and dodging. The sharp heel struck her arm.

She grimaced in pain as the heel broke her skin, blood immediately oozing out.

A tall figure swept over like a hurricane, furiously snatching the stiletto fram the woman's hand and tossing it several feet away.

Seeing Leah injured, Avery was heartbroken. He quickly rushed her to the hospital, no longer caring about the gala.

Leah tried to lighten the mood through her pain, managing a weak smile, “I'm okay, Avery. It's just a minor injury.

Just need some ointment."

"No. You need to go to the hospital for disinfection” Avery insisted, removing his coat and draping it over her, his arm around her shoulder as they headed out. He ignored the paparazzi lurking nearby, snapping pictures.
