The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 1036

Leopold always felt that her words carried an undercurrent of spite. "Are you sure you want me to exercise my veto?"

She huffed softly, "I know my place. How could I ever sway your decisions? Ever since we met, you've always treated me like dirt under your shoe, the big-shot boss. When have you ever taken me seriously? If I had the power to make you listen to me, I must have slipped into an alternate universe where the sun rises in the west, and Halley's Comet is on a collision course with Earth."

Her words were not just a jab at Leopold but also a message to Jelena, making it clear she had no power to persuade Leopold. He wouldn't give her thoughts or opinions a second glance.

William crossed his arms like a little adult, letting out a long sigh, "Dad's the best. He listens to Mom about everything."

Leopold's mouth twitched in annoyance. He hated being compared to Arnold. Yet everyone, including Aurelia, often did so.

If it hadn't been for Magnolia's intervention, tricking Arnold into marrying Lisa and booting him out of the race, Aurelia would never have come back to him.

As he was about to speak, Kane's voice came from the side, "My dad did it for Nina and Mira. I don't want Fredric and Sheryl to split up either. It would break Nina and Mira's home, and they'd be so sad. Aren't we kids part of the family too? Why don't adults consider our thoughts when making decisions? Isn't that a bit selfish?"

At the family meeting, he would follow Leopold's lead and vote against it.

Even if Aurelia agreed, he would oppose it. He always had his own independent thoughts.

Although he loved Jelena, there were better options for her. Why break up Nina and Mira's home?

Aurelia was startled. Truth be told, she had completely forgotten that Kane had a say in this.

The heir's vote counted as double.
