The CEO’S Unplanned Heir novel (Aurelia and Leopold)
Chapter 661

Chapter 661

Leah dropped her head, very frustrated.

She had only four days left, and she hadn't mastered a single dish.

Resorting to takeout would be such an insincere gesture, wouldn't it? Avery would definitely be displeased.

Patting her on the back, Aurelia said, “Let's focus on one dish today, beef stew with potatoes. Avery loves it.

When he was little, every time Mom made it, he could eat it all.”

"Okay." Leah nodded eagerly.

Aurelia led her to the kitchen and started by teaching her how to slice the beef.

"You've got to slice it against the grain so it stays tender and juicy”

She quided Leah's hands through each step, and finally, the beef stew was simmering.

Leah couldn't wait to taste it. Delicious, true, but Aurelia had added the spices, and Leah knew she still had plenty to learn.

Aurelia dished up two servings, and they sat down to dig in.

“In the next couple of days, practice on your own, and the day after tomorrow, I'll come over and teach you another recipe.”

"Got it, Leah replied with a nod.

As they ate, Aurelia glanced at her phone. There was major gossip in show bizz today, involving Lana.

Someone had leaked that she was the mistress of a married tycoon, a homewrecker who had even attacked the legal wife, brazenly bold.

Aurelia’s first thought was that Megan had orchestrated this. The term “legal wife’ dripped with irony. Was Megan really the legal wife?

The gossip suggested the tycoon was none other than Lana's boss, Leopold.

Soon after, a bunch of people replied.

[Are you talking about Avery's sister's ex-husband? Everyone knows he's been remarried, right?] [His current wife was the mistress who climbed up. If it's really him, then the second wife got what she deserved—karma.]

[Lana and Aurelia are tight. Is she avenging Aurelia? Go, Lana!]

Upon seeing these comments Aurelia massaged her temples. She thought most of the commentators were Avery's fans.

Megan surely hadn't expected the backlash to be this polarized.

While there was no law against being “the other woman, there were still moral standards. If you're going to usurp a position, don't cry foul when you're usurped in turn.

It's all fair game in love and war.

Leah caught sight of the juicy gossip. She knew about the drama between Lana and Leopold, but... “Aurelia, Lana and Leopold... it's not real, is it?"

Aurelia shrugged, “Who cares if it's real or not? I can't be bothered. As long as Megan leaves me alone, I'm good”

“Now she's directing her attention toward Lana, and this thing is definitely her doing,’ Leah remarked.

Aurelia's laugh was light and carefree, "Not my circus, not my monkeys. I'm just here for the show." After finishing the meal, she returned to Blossom Villa.

It wasn't long before Lana's studio released a statement condemning the rumors, and the police detained the rumor-monger.

The PR team at Luminous Vision Media was always quick to respond.

Megan seethed with anger. Her plan to bring Lana down had backfired, leaving her humiliated by Avery and Aurelia's fans. She was scolded for her actions and told she deserved to be replaced, with each of them supporting Lana's rise and ousting her.

Aurelia had become somewhat of a public figure, an inspiration for the modern woman.

Megan, as the homewrecker of Aurelia's marriage, was vilified like a rat in the streets.

Even Leopold was not spared, branded as blind by public opinion.

Many fans flocked to Aurelia’s Twitter, suggesting her ex-husband get his eyes checked.

Despite Megan hiring numerous internet trolls to whitewash her image and tarnish Aurelia's, they were no match for Aurelia and Avery's fans, particularly Avery's battle-hardened supporters.

Their love for Avery extended to Aurelia by association.

Overcome with fury, Megan summoned Jewel, "Find a way to deal with that wretch Lana. Ruin her, disfigure her if you must, and let's see how she seduces men then!"
