The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 143

As the first light of Saturday morning crept in, Aurelia was already awake, feeling rejuvenated after a good night's sleep.

She tidied her hair into a simple ponytail and slipped into some casual clothes.

The October air in Elysium had started to hold the crisp chill of autumn. For Aurelia, the cool weather was welcomed. It allowed her to comfortably wear loose outerwear that perfectly concealed her growing baby bump. Carrying twins had inevitably added extra weight to her frame, stripping her of her usual lightness.

After a hearty breakfast, Arnold arrived to pick her up.

At the variety show recording site, everyone was busy preparing. The show was a competitive performance-based series featuring film school students and emerging actors. These contestants were guided by four high-profile directors who selected actors to join their teams for a series of face-offs.

Arnold escorted Aurelia to the VIP audience section, filled with invited guests including talent agents, fans, and entertainment journalists.

"Is this show based on an elimination system?" Aurelia asked with a hint of concern. After all, this was a variety show, not the Olympics; it was as much about backgrounds and connections as it was about talent.

Arnold understood her worries and reassured her with a smile, "Don't worry, Avery will definitely make it to the end."

Serenity Films had sent more than just Avery to the show, but he was the one with the most potential: good-looking, talented, and worth investing in.

Aurelia's concern was meddling from Evan, a spoiled rich kid who thought he could do whatever he pleased because of his father's wealth.

"Should we go backstage to check on Avery?"

"Sure." Arnold agreed.

At that moment, in the dressing room, Evan was lounging like a king, legs crossed, puffing on a cigarette.

He had always assumed that Avery was destined to be an extra, to be trampled under his feet. He hadn't expected Avery to sign with Nydia of Serenity Films. It infuriated him.
