The CEO’S Unplanned Heir novel (Aurelia and Leopold)
Chapter 559

Chapter 559

Aurelia was flabbergasted. She had always pegged Skyler as bright but had never imagined his brilliance would be so startling. He was indeed an undercover mastermind!

Leah let out a sigh. “Skyler's always been a straight-A student, but since he hit high school, he's been bullied by the troublemakers. They have mocked him, picked on him, and played nasty pranks on him."

Aurelia was at a loss for words for a while, then she was like, “No way! He's the the prodigy of the Heninger family. And people dared to mess with him? That's pretty bold!"

“Those thugs were from gangster families. They always acted like they were above the law,’ Leah said with a grimace. "But what goes around comes around. They all met with accidents, and let me tell you, they were ghastly. The ringleader went insane, set fire to his own house in the middle of the night, and burned his entire family alive. His old man was a mob boss, and after his death, their gang fell apart. Eventually, many of them pledged allegiance to a rival outfit"

Aurelia was all ears. The man on the bridge yesterday also went mad and killed his family. Could this be a coincidence?

"How did the others die?"

"Word is, one crashed his plane into the ocean, and his family got mauled by sharks. Another drove off a cliff, and the car explosion left nothing but a charred body."

“Man, that's a gruesome way to go” Aurelia clicked her tongue. "So many deaths in one school. Didn't it sound eerie?"

Leah shrugged. “They were all tyrants without a shred of goodness, and no one mourned for them. Since it was all suicides, folks started saying the devil had taken them"

Suddenly, Aurelia thought about the sorcerer from the AK Group.

"People like them don't just off themselves. Could it be some curse like a death spell?"

Zachary was probably just a pawn. The real deal would never show his face.

Leah cast a sidelong glance at her. “You think our family has put a hex on them because they have bullied Skyler, don't you?"

Aurelia waved her hand. “Seeing as they were lawless tyrants, they must've made plenty of enemies and surely didn't bully just your bro. After all, you guys attended an elite academy filled with rich kids. Someone might have paid a fortune to a sorcerer to take them out for the sake of justice” Leah tapped her chin thoughtfully. “You've got a point there. I've heard about these curses, some potent witchcraft that's particularly rampant in Southeast Asia. After those bullies died, their families crumbled, too.

The gang members started flocking to other organizations. Probably the sorcerer cursed not just the bully but his entire clan”

“We have a saying, “If you don't cut the weeds down to the root, they'll grow back with the spring breeze: If you eradicate someone, they can't come back for revenge. It's ruthlessly effective; Aurelia said.

Leah's eyes twinkled. “The guy on the bridge yesterday snapped suddenly. Could he have been cursed too?"

“That guy probably just had a psychotic break, or maybe he was depressed and planned to take his whole family with him. We've heard of such tragedies abroad, right? People with depression take their whole families out to sea, only to end them all” Aurelia shrugged nonchalantly.

She was beginning to suspect that the family might have been cursed. But saying it outright in front of Leah might be too suggestive. It couldn't have been Skyler. He was always by their side, never having the chance to cast such a spell.

It was more likely that someone from AK Group was shadowing them, and that person just happened to be a sorcerer. Seeing Skyler humiliated, they might have cast a black magic in a fit of rage, driving the man to madness and killing his whole family.

Leah's face suddenly turned pale. As if a lightbulb went off in her head, she quickly said, “Could that Geoffrey, the guy Skyler mentioned, be a sorcerer? Didn't Skyler say Geoffrey cultivated poisonous mushrooms and insects? That's the kind of thing a sorcerer would do.”
