The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 270

For this competition, she was far from confident.

In terms of experience and reputation, Evelyn far outshone her. And behind Evelyn was the mighty Alcott Group, pouring in a ton of resources and funding to help Evelyn.

It was practically an investment, considering that once Evelyn married into the Stirling family, it would be a profitable venture bringing tremendous benefits to the Alcott family.

And Aurelia? She had no background, no resources, no funding. All she had was her relentless effort and refusal to give up.

"I've made up my mind. If I lose, I'll publicly announce that I'm the CEO's wife. That way, those who want to mock me will have to choke on their words. I'd still maintain some dignity even in defeat."

Leopold's deep eyes sparkled under the light, showing he was unfathomable, "If you're brave enough, you can try."

Aurelia wasn't. She was brave enough to talk big, but revealing the secret would place her in the crosshairs of countless enemies. Elowen and Elara would kill her. Evelyn and the Alcott family would plot her demise. And the lurking assassin would seize the chance to strike, eliminating her without a trace.

Losing her director position was a minor issue, and losing her life was a major concern.

She gave a smile, "Just kidding, and don't take it seriously. I'll be extra cautious before the babies are born. I can't risk any danger."

Her due date was next month, and the babies would be here soon. But she wondered, once Leopold married Evelyn and had a child with her, would he still love her children?

The thought brought a hint of sadness. She took a sip of water to wash away the unwanted emotions and whispered, "How could I not be stressed? If I have to keep a stern face every day, creating a cloud of negativity around me, you probably won't even want to see me."

Leopold remained silent.

She gently rubbed her belly and stood up, "I'm going to bed. I have to be at the runway early tomorrow, so I need to sleep early tonight."

As she walked towards the room, Leopold watched her.

Friday's jewelry show was the second highlight of Aurelia's life, and the first was in Paris. But this time it was more meaningful as her friends and family were present.

Apart from Avery, Jelena and Jolin were there too.
