Chapter 1091
Skyler puffed out his cheeks, exasperated by the troublemaker's divisive antics.
[Unless you can show me your true face and prove you're my twin brother, I can't help you save Aunt
Tanya.]
There was no reply from the other end.
Skyler knew this guy was full of it, too chicken to reveal his true identity.
He probably wasn't his fraternal twin because the Heninger family never had twins, which just wasn't in
their genes.
William glanced at him, "Skyler, don't tell me your brother is stirring up trouble again?"
"Yep," Skyler nodded, "He wants me to join him in rescuing my auntie."
William raised an eyebrow, "He's always trying to lead you astray. Just ignore him."
Skyler took a bite of a scone, speaking thoughtfully, "Geoffrey only had auntie for family his whole life,
unlike me with mom and dad, and a bunch of brothers and sisters. Auntie doesn't make a difference to
me, but without her, Geoffrey's just an orphan. That's why he's desperate to save her."
William, with the seriousness of someone beyond his years, crossed his arms and said, "If he hadn't
done bad things, he could have had as many relatives and friends as you. He's the architect of his
misfortune. There's always something despicable about people who are pitiable."
Skyler sighed, "If he turned over a new leaf, do you think Uncle and dad would forgive him?"
Kane replied, "If he wanted to reform, my dad would give him a chance. Dad always says, 'To err is
human, to forgive divine.'"
Skyler figured Uncle and dad would probably send Geoffrey off to some isolated island.
Geoffrey had broken the law, and that was already the best ending he could hope for.
Chances were that he knew it too, which was why he would never go down without a fight.
The next day, Aurelia headed to Mossy Rock Retreat.
She brought Lisbeth some clever gadgets.
"This is synthetic blood. You can put it on a sanitary pad to fake your period. You're with Raines every
day. If your cycle stops, he's bound to get suspicious."
Lisbeth chuckled, "You've thought of everything."
Aurelia grinned, "I've got experience in hiding a pregnancy. When I was expecting, I kept it secret so
well that my colleagues only found out just before I was due."
She pulled out another little item. It was a medicine bottle.
"You can't be intimate during the first three months of pregnancy. It's too risky. Put these prenatal
vitamins in the bottle, and make Raines think it's medication for a gynecological infection. If Raines
wants to be intimate, tell him you've been diagnosed with an infection and need to take medicine for All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
three months. During that time, intimacy is off-limits, or it'll worsen. That way, he'll hold back."
"If you feel nauseous, blame it on the medication's side effects, irritating your stomach. Most medicines
have some sort of gastrointestinal impact."
Lisbeth realized Aurelia was incredibly thorough, considering every possible scenario.
Aurelia seemed gentle, friendly, and eager to help. But if you crossed her, she wouldn't go easy on you.
"Aurelia, you didn't back Sheryl at the family meeting and even aired her dirty laundry, leading to her
being ousted from the Stirling family. She must feel betrayed and hate your guts now."
Aurelia said coolly, "I didn't betray her. I promised her I'd side with justice over family. She desecrated a
grave, breaking the Stirling family's rules, which put her in the wrong. How could I support her then?"
"I still can't wrap my head around why she suddenly decided to desecrate Fredric's ex's grave," Lisbeth
probed, recalling Sheryl's claim that it was Aurelia who suggested she was haunted and even took her
to a psychic.
