The CEO’S Unplanned Heir novel (Aurelia and Leopold)
Chapter 624

Chapter 624

Aurelia's eyes widened in surprise as she discovered just how knowledgeable Skyler was. It was no wonder he had racked up four PhDs and three Master's degrees, a veritable walking encyclopedia with a grasp on everything from the stars above to the Earth below.

"Skyler, you're amazing. You seem to know everything. From now on, you're our go-to guy.” Scratching his head, Skyler chuckled, "Back when I was home, no one would play with me. It was just me and my books. I read a lot, all kinds of books.”

Nursing a glass of apple juice, Aurelia asked casually, "Skyler, do you happen to know hypnotism?" Skyler scratched his head again, giving a goofy smile, "A little bit"

Aurelia was in thought. Anyone who studied psychology probably had some knowledge of hypnosis.

After a bit more chatting, she left with William.

Skyler picked up a watering can and went out to the balcony to water his Orchid and Rose, humming a rhyme.

"Rock-a-bye baby, in the treetop. When the wind blows, the cradle will rock. When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall. And down will come baby, cradle and all.”

On Friday, Aurelia headed to her company, stepping out of the parking garage when a tall woman approached her. The stranger wore a face mask and had a bag slung over her shoulder.

Suddenly, the woman's bag dropped, spilling contents everywhere.

Aurelia caught a whiff of a peculiar, heady scent. She didn't care for the smell and quickened her pace, hurrying away.

Once in her office, she suddenly felt overwhelmingly tired and dozed off on her desk.

In her dream, she found herself in a long, dark corridor with just a sliver of light at the far end. She ran towards it, pushing open door after door, only to find another corridor each time. It was a nightmarish loop, and she was trapped.

“Aurelia?” Emma's voice sounded beside her, but she didn't wake up.

Feeling something was off, Emma quickly checked for breath.

Thank God, she was still breathing.

Her phone rang on the desk, and it was Leopold calling.

"Mr. Leopold, Director Aurelia is asleep at her desk, and I couldn't wake her up.” Emma relayed over the phone to Leopold.

Leopold arrived at breakneck speed, shouting, "Aurelia!" But she didn't wake up, deep in slumber. His nerves on edge, he dialed for an ambulance.

At the hospital, doctors found nothing wrong with Aurelia's physical health, and she was simply asleep, in a deep state of slumber. But it was clearly not normal.

Leopold felt as if his insides were in knots.

Someone nefarious had happened to Aurelia. He feared the worst had come to pass.

Back at the office, Kevin reviewed the morning's security footage and quickly zeroed in on the mysterious woman.

“Judging by the build, it's very likely a man in disguise.”

Yuna had been parking the car at the time, absent during the incident. Aurelia had gotten out first. Leopold punched the wall in frustration.

This had to be the work of AK Group.

In her dream, Aurelia seemed to be trapped in the corridor.

Desperately, she ran and screamed, "Leopold!" But no one could hear her.

Fear consumed her every nerve. Was she dead? Or was she in a nightmare?

She had never experienced such a terrifying dream, as if her entire consciousness was imprisoned. What in the world was happening? Would someone save her?

Doctors detected unusual substances in Aurelia's blood, but its nature was unclear.

Across town in Elysium, Megan received the news.

Delighted, she sent a message to her AK Group contact, [Thanks for the assist. Hope that Aurelia sleeps forever, never to wake again.]
