The CEO’S Unplanned Heir novel (Aurelia and Leopold) novel Chapter 556

Chapter 556

They didn't dare to touch their lunch, hastily grabbing their kids and skedaddling out of there, scared stiff of retaliation.

With a lollipop clamped in his mouth, Skyler puffed out his cheeks and declared, "I hate mean kids."

“Everybody hates naughty kids,’ Aurelia chimed in.

Every naughty kid was likely to have mean parents.

Although kids always speak their minds, adults must set the right example for them, not join in the chaos. It was better to discipline a kid at home than to have society teach him a harsher lesson later. Skyler's mood was as fleeting as a summer storm, and soon afterward, he had shrugged off the incident and happily dug into his meal.

After lunch, they began to climb the hill to the Rose Garden at the halfway mark.

Aurelia whipped out her phone and snapped photos of them along the hike.

They played until dusk before heading back down.

Passing by the lakeside, they noticed a crowd had gathered.

Police were dispersing the onlookers and maintaining order.

Bystanders were clucking their tongues. "People nowadays are stressed out, driving themselves mad."

"To think of ending your own life is one thing, but to take your kid with you..."

Aurelia wasn't one for rubbernecking. She could tell from a mile away it was nothing good. Keen to spare Skyler any frights, she quickly ushered him away with Leopold.

In the Internet era, news traveled at lightning speed, and the incident was soon buzzing online, complete with video footage.

The video showed a family of four on a suspension bridge when the man, as if possessed, suddenly shoved the boy beside him into the abyss. The woman, clutching a toddler, let out a blood-curdling scream before the man pushed her down. The man then followed them and jumped.
