The CEO’S Unplanned Heir novel (Aurelia and Leopold)
Chapter 687

Chapter 687

Aurelia's gaze drifted over covertly. She suspected the placement of Megan as a pawn by Leopold's side wasn't the brainchild of the AK Group's underlings.

It had to be either Geoffrey's or Tanya's idea. But Megan was definitely in the dark about Tanya being one of the top dogs at AK Group.

Despite Leopold's people turning over every stone for ages, they'd found no direct evidence. They were too craftily concealed, otherwise, the AK Group would have been taken down ages ago. After a spirited round of game, they all headed to the toboggan park.

For thrill-seekers like them, Megan could only stand by, green with envy.

Leopold took off down the hill with William in tow.

"Scared?" Leopold asked.

William's head shook like a bobblehead. "No way. I'm brave as can be."

"You're a clever boy," Leopold said fondly, ruffling his hair. The more he saw of William, the more he adored him, almost considering him his son, Liam.

From a distance, Megan watched them, her eyes nearly bulging with jealousy.

She couldn't fathom why Leopold was so good to Aurelia and Amold's love child.

William was a reminder of the grand cuckolding Aurelia had served him. How could he not mind? His heart must be the size of the Grand Canyon.

Inside her, she carried his legitimate son, yet he barely glanced at her, as if his sense of responsibility had shifted continents.

The more she thought about it, the more imbalanced she felt.

He had no right to neglect their child, the future heir of the Stirling family, his sole heir.

Sierra was having the time of her life, her first-time obogganing.

"Skyler, obogganing is so much fun.”

Skyler's eyebrows lifted slightly, "You must have done something heroic in a past life like saving the galaxy. We've got a whole arsenal of fun up our sleeves.”

"Then can I stay at Elysium with you?" Sierra asked eagerly.

Skyler replied, “You can, but only when we invite you over. You can't be like that annoying woman, Megan, always showing up uninvited and clinging to us like a burr. So irritating."

Sierra blinked her big eyes at him, "I'm not clingy at all, and I promise I'm super well-behaved." "Good to hear’ Skyler shrugged nonchalantly.

Sierra cast a discreet glance at Megan and whispered, "Do you really dislike Mrs. Stirling?"

"She's an enemy of Angel and William, and their enemies are my enemies,”

Skyler declared.

"Then she’s my enemy too. Your enemies are mine, and your friends are mine,” Sierra said.

Skyler cracked a smile, "You're not so bad in the brains department.”

It was now tea time. Sierra and Lana helped Aurelia prepare some pastries and fruit.

Sierra whipped up some fresh strawberry juice for Tanya.

"Skyler, William, do you want some strawberry juice?”

Both Skyler and William waved her off in unison, "No thanks, we'd rather have the strawberries themselves.”

Tanya lounged in her chair, the picture of contentment.

Megan sat beside her, expecting to be waited on just the same.

Lana gave her a sidelong glance and deliberately said, "Aurelia, you are not only beautiful but also capable, and no wonder the elite bachelors are all over you."

Aurelia chuckled lightly, "There's no shortage of attractive and capable women, but when men of status choose a wife, they weigh her worth and what she can bring to the table, whether she can be a partner in every sense.

No man wants a woman who's a liability instead of an asset.”

Lana nodded in agreement, "Tell me about it. Some women are nothing but trouble, and who knows what they're capable of behind their man's back.

Who'd dare to take that risk?"

Her words, though veiled, reached Megan's ears. It was a thinly veiled jab at her.

Megan stood up abruptly from her chair.
