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

Chapter 1015

Jelena clutched her glass, her hands trembling as she sipped it. "After I got off the plane yesterday, I

got a call from a friend inviting me to a masquerade ball. You know, it was a sort of welcome-back

shindig. So, I went. And Fredric was also there, decked out like Batman. I had left his company, so we

just made small talk, nothing more. I hung out with my friends for a bit, had a few drinks, and then, all of

a sudden, I started feeling sick. I decided to leave early. I'm not sure if I was drunk or what, but when I

got to the parking lot, everything started to blur. I called for a ride share, and when a car that looked like

mine stopped, I got in without a second thought. It turned out Batman was in the driver's seat."

She paused, burying her head in her knees.

Aurelia grabbed a blanket and gently covered Jelena with it. "That Batman was Fredric, right?"

Jelena nodded. "I completely blacked out after that. When I woke up the next morning, Fredric was

lying beside me..."

She was in agony, her body aching so much that even walking was a challenge.

Aurelia figured it out. The bastard Fredric had taken advantage of Jelena while she was drunk.

"I'm going to give Fredric a piece of my mind and get some justice for you."

The Stirling family had its own rules. Multiple partners might fly, but assault and abduction were

absolute no-nos.

As the matriarch of the Stirling family, she had the right to enforce family law.

The doorbell rang when she stood up from the couch, ready to leave. The nanny checked the security

feed. "It's Mr. Fredric. Should I let him in?"

Aurelia rolled up her sleeves, ready for a confrontation. Fate was delivering the culprit right to her

doorstep.

"Jelena, you go back to your room. I've got this."

The last thing Jelena needed was to face that scoundrel.

Jelena nodded, using the wall for support as she limped back to her room.

Aurelia told the nanny to step aside, and she opened the door herself.

Fredric was visibly shocked to see her. "Aurelia, I wasn't expecting you here. Where's Jelena?"

Aurelia was fuming. His guilty face said it all.

She cut right to the chase, dispensing with pleasantries.

"Fredric, should I call the cops or let Jessica decide on a family punishment?"

Fredric slumped onto the couch, his hands cradling his head in frustration. "Would you believe me if I

said I was drugged?"

Aurelia was skeptical. "Who would dare drug Fredric Stirling? They must have a death wish."

A dark glint flashed in Fredric’s eyes. "I have no idea which bastard did it, but I'll skin him alive when I

find it out."

Aurelia frowned. "Even if you were drugged, why did you end up with Jelena among all people?"

"I had no idea it was Jelena. When I realized I was drugged, I left straight away. In the parking lot, a

woman got into my car." He clutched his throbbing forehead. "You have no idea. After a man gets hit

with that stuff, he loses control and gets all messed up. It wasn't until the next morning that I realized

that woman was Jelena."

He massaged his temples. "I've always been a charmer but never a sleaze. I promised Jelena that I

wouldn't touch her if I couldn't marry her. I'm not about to break my word."

There was a hint of an old flame between the lines.

So, there had been something between him and Jelena, or at least he had pursued her.

Aurelia huffed softly. No matter what, she couldn't let Jelena suffer for nothing. Jelena was family, and

she had to stand by Jelena and back her up.

"No matter what, you owe Jelena an explanation. You can't just walk away from this." Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

With a solemn expression, Fredric looked up and declared, "I’ll give her whatever she wants."
