The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 108

Evelyn gritted her teeth. After seeing the WhatsApp message yesterday, she called Leopold.

His cold response of "That's none of your business," followed by the abrupt end of the call, was all she got.

He despised others prying into his whereabouts, and she knew better not to push that button.

"I heard from a friend that Leo was spotted at the beach, and you were with him. Is there any truth to this?"

She laid her cards on the table, awaiting a response.

Now, Aurelia understood why Evelyn was grilling her about her vacation first thing in the morning.

So, this was the crux of the matter.

Damn, even a simple meal thousands of miles away couldn't escape prying eyes!

"Your friend wasn't mistaken. It was indeed Mr. Leopold and I. Arno took me to the film studio to watch some filming, and we happened to bump into Mr. Leopold who was there on a visit. We decided to grab some seafood by the shore, but Arno had to leave due to some unexpected matters. I stayed behind to dine and chat about work with Mr. Leopold."

She replied in a relaxed and straightforward manner, neither evasive nor defensive, exuding confidence and transparency.

Evelyn was taken aback, not expecting such a candid admission.

"Are you trying to use your relationship with Arno to get close to Leo?"

"What if I am?" Aurelia retorted with a cold laugh and walked away.

Evelyn stared at her retreating figure, a shadowy glint in her eyes.

Leo went to Aetherbrook City, and she followed. Something felt off.

After returning to her desk, Aurelia immediately sent Leopold a WhatsApp message, informing him of the recent events.

"I admitted we had dinner together, with a clear conscience."
