The CEO’S Unplanned Heir novel (Aurelia and Leopold) novel Chapter 825

"Of course, I came to see you, but I've got a thing now. I'll swing by tomorrow." Quentin said, stepping into the elevator.

Marianne didn't buy his story for a second and bet he had his sights set on Aurelia.

Once inside, they quickly spotted Aurelia.

Marianne rushed to ask, "Aurelia, did my dad pop by to pitch his investment opportunity to you?"

Aurelia, casually sipping her drink, replied, "I gave him Mr. Mackie's contact details and told him to take it up with Mackie."

"Just ignore him. His company's drowning in debt, about fifty million in the hole, looking for a sucker to bail him out," Marianne warned.

"It's fine. Mackie will assess the situation," Aurelia said with an easy smile. A direct refusal would make her seem arrogant and snobbish, which wasn't the impression she wanted to give.

Avery picked up two cocktails, handing one to Leah and the other one to Marianne. "Mackie's a tough cookie. He won't green-light an investment unless he sees true potential."

Marianne stuck out her tongue playfully. "No wonder Angie's investments always turn a profit."

Aurelia swirled her drink. Mackie was a recommendation from Leopold, who had a keen eye for talent. His judgment was rarely off.

She granted Mackie ample autonomy and decision-making power because she believed in trusting the people she hired.

Lisa, tinged with envy, observed. "Aurelia, you're so impressive." No wonder Arnold was so obsessed with her.

A pretty face is everywhere, but a captivating soul is rare.

To win true love, a woman needs more than youth and beauty. It's all about capability and charm.

The former fades quickly, but the latter is everlasting.
