The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 1248

Skyler blinked, a spark of mischief flickering in his eyes, [Don't get too cocky, Geoffrey. No matter what sneaky tricks you pull, they'll fall flat. You can't outsmart us.]

An angry emoji popped up from Geoffrey, [Us? Who's 'us'? You and Leopold? Dude, you and I came from the same mom. We're the real family here, not Leopold. If you were on my side, we could take Leopold down in no time.]

Skyler made a face at his phone, [I'm not going to stoop to your level. I'm just a kid, man. No big desires and just wanna have fun.]

If something happened to Leopold, Angel, Kane, Jessica... everyone would be bummed, and the good times would be over.

Geoffrey sent a bomb emoji. [Useless. You're all about fun and games, never any help. You're just dead weight. I must've been cursed to end up with a brother like you.]

Skyler pouted, [Feeling's mutual. I must've been super cursed to have a brother like you. Besides, I don't even know what you look like. For all I know, you could be a total catfish, not my brother at all. I'm pretty good-looking, so you're probably hideous, which is why you're hiding.]

[I'm hideous?] Geoffrey retorted, [I'm a hundred times, no, a thousand times more handsome than you.]

[Talk is cheap. Pictures or it didn't happen. I don't buy it,] Skyler taunted, knowing full well he was no novice in psychology.

[Your reverse psychology won't work on me. When it comes to mind games, I'm leagues ahead of you.]

[I'd never consider you my real brother without seeing your face. You could be anyone, maybe just one of Tanya's interns for all I know.]

[Rubbish! I am your brother, no doubt about it. Only someone with a head full of bubbles would question that.]

[Whatever. Until I see the real you, I won't accept you as my brother, no matter what you say. Even if you are, you could be from some other woman, not the same as my mom. Dad's got enough kids out there, and half-brothers are no different than stepbrothers.]

[You little rascal, I am your brother, and if I'm not, then the Earth isn't round.]
