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

Chapter 1114

Her smartwatch buzzed on her wrist, a call from Sheryl.

Truth be told, Sheryl had never left and was lurking outside with an eye on things.

When she saw the ambulance arrive, she figured her poison had done its job and hurried to ask the

security guard what had happened.

To her shock, the guard told her a man and a woman had been poisoned. Could it be Fredric and

Jelena?

To confirm her fears, she quickly dialed Nina.

Nina slipped away to a secluded corner.

"Nina, who did you give the chocolate to?" asked Sheryl.

Nina was fuming. She shouted, "Mom, you lied to me. You poisoned the chocolate. You're a liar. I'm so

disappointed in you."

Tears streamed down Sheryl's cheeks as she replied, "Nina, do you know why I divorced your dad and

got kicked out of the Stirling family by Aurelia and Jelena? They conspired against me. I've been barely

hanging on. You're my daughter. If you don't help me, who will? Do you want to see your mother

destroyed by them?"

"Aunt Aurelia would never do that. You were the one who desecrated graves and that's why the elders

banished you."

"They set me up and hired some wizards to trick me into doing it."

"But Ms. Jelena said she won't marry my dad. She already turned down his proposal. Aunt Aurelia

doesn't want her to marry dad either."

Sheryl snorted. "Jelena is just trying to spite me because of Joyce. That's why she deserves to die."

Nina sniffled, "And what about Kane? He's just a kid and he never hurt you. He even voted for you at This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

the family council. Why do you want to poison him?"

Sheryl clenched her teeth, "Because he's Aurelia's son. If he doesn't die, he'll come after us one day."

"Mom, murder is wrong and illegal, no matter what. Because of you, I'm now an accomplice to murder.

If the elders find out, they'll disown me from the Stirling family. You've ruined me."

Nina tried to maintain her composure, pretending everything was normal, but inside she was panicking,

terrified.

"Just keep quiet, and no one will know," Sheryl instructed. "Remember, don't tell a soul, not a single

word, or we're both done for."

Nina was scared of her mother now, who seemed to have lost her mind and do things only a

madwoman would do.

"The cops will investigate. They might trace it back to me."

"Then deny everything," Sheryl snapped. "You're just a kid. They can't touch you if you don't confess.

Besides, the Stirling family will protect you. They wouldn't dare question you. No one dares cross the

Stirling family."

"I'll never help you again, nor will I ever trust you," Nina said angrily.

Sheryl didn't care, confident that a child's words could be easily pacified. "Just tell me, who did you give

it to?"

Nina puffed up her cheeks, "I gave it to Ms. Jelena, but she doesn't eat chocolate, so she gave it to

Dad, so Dad is dead now."

Sheryl nearly fainted. Was Fredric the man in the ambulance?

"And Aurelia, is she dead?"

Before Sheryl could finish, Nina hung up and turned off her smartwatch.

Nina was devastated. Her mother had deceived her, turning her into a murderer, a violation of the

family code. If the elders found out, Nina would be cast out of the Stirling family and orphaned.

From the age of three, children of the Stirling family were drilled in the family code, knowing the

importance of the family for lifelong protection.

Taking a deep breath, Nina wiped her tears and put on an indifferent face. She couldn't let anyone find

out she was a murderer.
