The CEO’S Unplanned Heir novel (Aurelia and Leopold) novel Chapter 738

As the fireworks fizzled out, he spun around and strode back to the cabin, grabbing a cardboard cutout of Lana from an ad, muttering under his breath, "My brother said Lana's gotta swim with the fishes. He said Lana's gotta swim with the fishes..."

The crowd was filing back into the cabin when they caught sight of the bizarre scene.

"Skyler, what are you doing?" William asked in disbelief.

Skyler seemed oblivious to his question, clutching the cutout of Lana and moving determinedly toward the deck railing.

"He said Lana's gotta swim with the fishes. He said Lana's gotta swim with the fishes..."

Muttering the mantra, he suddenly tossed the cardboard cutout overboard into the sea.

Leopold and Aurelia rushed forward, yanking him back from the edge, fearing he might follow the cutout into the watery depths.

Tanya came running over and cupped his face in her hands, "Oh no, Skyler's having another episode."

At that moment, Skyler's whole body trembled violently, as if awakening from a trance, "What's going on? Why are you all staring at me?"

"Skyler, you just threw a cardboard cutout into the sea," William explained.

"Skyler, you're having an episode. You need to go back to your room and take your medication," Tanya subtly signaled to Thomas with a glance, who promptly stepped in to assist her with Skyler..

Thomas turned deathly pale, completely dumbfounded.

He did try to hypnotize Aurelia to push Lana overboard, but his plan was interrupted by her pesky kid, William. So he turned to Skyler, planning to have him do the deed.

But instead, Skyler threw a cardboard cutout of Lana overboard. And now, Skyler was recounting the hypnotic session with alarming clarity, which was impossible. Hypnotized people didn't retain their memories.

He couldn't figure it out. It was a mystery beyond his grasp.

Just then, a phone rang, snapping everyone out of the tense moment. Thomas, in a daze, turned and slapped Tanya across the face, "You conniving witch! For your selfish gains, you'd even sacrifice your own family. What are you aiming for? To be the next Lady Macbeth?"
