The CEO’S Unplanned Heir novel (Aurelia and Leopold) novel Chapter 806

"Geoffrey must think he's hot stuff. Acts like we're all a bunch of dimwits, easy to fool," remarked Aurelia with a roll of her eyes.

Skyler nodded in agreement, "He's always had this air about him like he's the king of the castle. Whenever we'd play video games and I'd win, he'd throw a real fit, threatening to put a spider in my bed. So, I just started throwing the games, letting him win."

Aurelia patted Skyler on the shoulder, "You're smart, Skyler. Smartest one among us."

Hearing Aurelia’s praise, Skyler grinned widely. He always loved it when Aurelia complimented him.

Whispers began to circulate in the high society circles that the culprit behind the attempt on Leopold's life had been secretly caught, a mercenary named Geoffrey.

Aurelia suspected it was a deliberate leak, a way for certain individuals to clear their names.

Leopold had blood tests done on the mercenary, revealing traces of Shadow Venom in his system.

He had Kevin hook the guy up to a lie detector.

"I've got the antidote for Shadow Venom right here," Leopold offered his voice cold, "Spill the beans, and it's yours."

The mercenary was silent for a long stretch, then murmured low, "I'll tell you everything."

That evening, Leopold was driving with Aurelia, cruising down the highways with the moonroof open.

Both of them were wearing lifelike masks, no chance of being recognized by some nosy passerby.

"Actually, the fall guy Geoffrey set up was pretty convincing. At least he really was allergic to silver."

Leopold mused darkly, "That might be, but it doesn't get us any closer to the real Geoffrey," Aurelia retorted, her lips twisted in disdain.
