The CEO’S Unplanned Heir novel (Aurelia and Leopold)
Chapter 576

Chapter 576

Skyler whispered conspiratorially, “Of course you do. The Stirling Group is something like a throne, right? I heard your dad and Uncle Leopold went head-to-head over it, and it was vicious.”

William pulled a face. "That was before I was born. Dad and Uncle Leopold are battling over Mom these days, not the throne anymore.”

Skyler cracked a wicked grin. “I think your dad will lose. Because Angel always seems... to hang out with Leopold.”

"That's “cause Dad jetted off abroad to finalize his divorce with Lisa. Once he's back, he'll tie the knot with Mom."

William countered.

"Leopold's gonna be upset then’ sighed Skyler.

Soon enough, the two boys had a sandcastle budding before them

Skyler asked casually, "Hey William, if you time-traveled back to like, the Middle Ages and became a prince, would you duke it out with your brothers for the crown?"

“Dunno; William shrugged, "I'm just a kid. Maybe I'll figure it out when I'm older"

William thought he would fight if it were a half-brother because he couldn't let his mom down. But if it were Kane, there's no way he would fight. Kane was his twin, his best bud, and the love was mutual.

Skyler bobbed his head and declared, “My bro Geoffrey says a soldier who doesn't aim to be a general is no good soldier. A prince who doesn't want to be king is no good prince.”

William glanced at him. "And what about you?"

"I'm just a kid like you," Skyler stuck out his tongue. "But Geoffrey wants to be king. He says if there's a shot, you gotta go for it, no backing down or surrendering.”

“Is he gonna challenge you for it?” William asked.

“Nope, Skyler shook his head. "I'm just a kid. So I can't be an heir."

"Does Geoffrey keep those nasty bugs and poison mushrooms to snag the heir spot?"

"Guess so."

“That's twisted. Even with half-brothers, they're still family, You can't hurt them. A crown won is by strength and honor, not sneaky tricks. It's wrong, and even if you win, it's no victory,” William said earnestly. “Skyler, you should talk some sense into him. Tell him to play fair and square.

"Alright, I'll tell him next time I see him.

As Skyler spoke, he took off his gloves and patted William's shoulder.

“If you ever wanna be the heir, I'd have your back “cause you're my best bud.”

“And I'll help you topple Geoffrey. I don't think he's fit to be the heir. You'd be way better’ William declared.

Skyler flashed a grin. "Deal. It's a promise.”

After frolicking on the beach for a while, Aurelia and Leopold took the boys to the aquarium. William showed Skyler the badge he was wearing.

"Skyler, this is our family's Wildlife Rescue Foundation logo. It's a dolphin.”

Skyler's face clouded over. “My pets got killed by some jerk before.”

"Didn't your Superman punish him?" William asked quickly.

Skyler puffed his cheeks. "When Superman catches him, he'll make him pay.”

"People who hurt animals should pay big time and get shunned” William said furiously.

"Right; nodded Skyler.

Soon, news about two campus bullies clashing and brawling went viral online.

Their parents turned on each other, airing dirty laundry for all to see, leaving both sides darnaged. Netizens dubbed it the most comical dog-eat-dog kerfuffle of the year.

They had just left the aquarium, gearing up for a rest before dinner, when Megan showed up out of the blue.

Learning that Leopold had whisked Aurelia and her kid to the island for the weekend, she was livid. Ignoring her pregnancy and the curse she was under, she stomped over with the baby bump and all.

She was like a dark cloud on a sunny day, souring Aurelia's mood instantaneously.
