The CEO’S Unplanned Heir novel (Aurelia and Leopold) novel Chapter 920

"Come on, you've already moved into Stirling Mansion, right? Trying to reclaim your lost throne during this little escapade?" Evelyn quipped with a sly undertone.

Aurelia swirled the coffee cup in her hand. "I'm there to take care of my kid. Jessica's got her hands full running the family business. She has no time to focus on Kane."

Evelyn popped a piece of apple pie into her mouth. "What a smart move to have a son first. You've secured the heir's spot. Megan'll have a tough time trying to snatch it, especially since no one knows who fathered her child."

Indeed, no one knew it except for Leopold.

Aurelia thought of Alvis and sighed inwardly.

The child was undergoing rehabilitation, hoping for a cure so he could lead a life someday.

During her silence, Evelyn's voice pierced the air again. "Remember back in the day, you, me, and Elowen were all vying for the title of CEO's wife? And you got there first and had a baby."

Aurelia chuckled self-deprecatingly. "That was a total fluke, all thanks to Ms. Elowen's good graces."

The artificial insemination debacle had reached Evelyn's ears, too. Why hadn't such luck struck her?

"It was like you hit the jackpot. Of all the women in the world, it had to be you. I used to think you were Leopold's true love from the swan song, but that didn't last long, right? You two split, and Megan swooped in to stir the pot. Too bad for her, she's not the chosen one either, about to be replaced by Lana."

"But you didn't walk away empty-handed, did you? You gave birth to the Stirling family's legitimate grandson. If there's a real issue with Leopold's swimmers, your kid's the last man standing. After the divorce, you took half of Leopold's fortune, instantly becoming Elysium's wealthiest woman. Unlike Megan, who, after all her scheming, ends up with nothing and faces leaving with the clothes on her back."

Aurelia's expression remained cool.

She didn't feel like she'd won.

The fat cats never make a losing deal.

If marrying Megan was part of Leopold's plan, he might have been planning a reunion from the divorce, hence his generosity with the settlement.

If he had tired of her, she'd be lucky to leave with ten million.
