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

Chapter 1171

Skyler retorted with the unwavering conviction, [Kids never lie, you know. It's you adults that are the

fibbers.]

The other end of the conversation fell silent, as if mulling over a complex puzzle. It was quite a while

before a response came through. [Alright, I'll take a leap of faith and trust you this time. I'll get in touch

with you later.]

Skyler replied with a smirk, [I'll only tell the real Geoffrey, so don't bother sending some imposter with a

rubber mask to fool me. I've got eyes like a hawk and I'll spot a fake a mile away.]

Kane and William came bounding over.

"Hey, Skyler, did you drop the bait?" Kane asked with a glint of mischief in his eyes.

"Yup," Skyler nodded with a sly grin on his face.

William blinked, "You think your brother bought it?"

Skyler shrugged, "He's gotta take the chance. After all, he won't get Tanya’s news from anyone else but

me."

"We better get our ducks in a row and set a trap that'll catch him red-handed," William said, his voice

filled with anticipation. "SkyWill will make a go."

With the holidays around the corner, the kids were on break, and the Stirling Mansion was alive with

excitement.

Lisa brought Nova over too. Nova was transitioning from baby babble to full-on human speech. She

crawled up to William, "William, give me a hug!"

William scooped her up and planted a couple of smooches on her chubby and rosy cheeks.

"Nova, want me to tell you a story?" he offered.

"Yes!" Nova clapped her tiny hands with joy.

William picked up a storybook, ready to tell her the tale of the Ugly Duckling.

Aurelia arrived with Nina and Mira, having just come from Sheryl's place.

sent people abroad to track her down, but she was likely using a fake identity, which was difficult to

find.

"Nova!" Mira scooped up her joyfully, covering her face with kisses before pressing her cheek forward,

"Kiss me."

Watching the children, Lisa smiled, "Nova wakes up asking to come over here these days."

"With all her siblings here to play with her, of course, she's happy," Aurelia said, stroking Nova's hair.

"Aren't you, Nova?"

"Mhm," Nova nodded vigorously, "Play... with brothers and... sisters."

Right then, the phone rang. It was Sheryl calling.

"Aurelia, you need to get online right now. Just moments ago, the wife of the man who was poisoned

publicly accused me of murdering her husband. It's gone viral."

Aurelia felt a chill run down her spine and quickly stepped out into the yard, pulling out her phone.

A small voice came from behind, "Aunt Aurelia, I'm scared..."

Aurelia turned to see Nina standing there, her face pale as a ghost.

Aurelia wrapped her arms around her, "It's okay, don't be scared. Uncle Leopold and I will take care of

"Will the police come for me? What do I say?" Nina cleaned her tears, trembling her little shoulders.

Aurelia patted her back gently, "Uncle Leopold will have someone handle this at the station."

Nina sniffled, "But everyone will think I poisoned those people."

"It wasn't you," Aurelia consoled her. "It was a bad person, someone who pretended to be your mom

and tricked you."
