The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 276

Arnold arrived home to find Marcia Stirling waiting for him. Her expression was solemn.

"Arnold, be straight with me," she started. "Is the baby that Aurelia's carrying yours?"

Arnold shot her a gloomy glance, answering in a deliberately casual tone, "She's my woman, of course the baby's mine."

Marcia's brows furrowed, "I've interrogated Georgina. The woman she performed the artificial insemination on was Aurelia, so the baby belongs to Leopold!"

Arnold's lips tightened, "Why didn't you consult with me when you did this? Of all the women in the hospital, why did she pick my woman, Aurelia is mine!" He became agitated, his voice rising involuntarily.

Marcia stared at him in shock, her eyes filled with disbelief, "I did this all for you. Since when did you become so irrational? You weren't like this before."

"Because before, I didn't have a woman I cared about," Arnold retorted, his tone solemn. "I hope you'll leave Aurelia alone, or I won't just stand by."

Marcia's forehead twitched, "You're being irrational now. We'll talk when you've calmed down."

With those words, she left.

…

For several days, Aurelia didn't see Leopold. He hadn't been to the company either, apparently he was abroad discussing a business acquisition. As she left the office one evening, she bumped into Ritchie.

With a ferocious look on his face, he said, "Aurelia, I'm telling you, I'm not selling this house, and I won't use it as collateral either. I've changed the guarantor to my grandmother. If I can't pay back the loan, you can use the money or the house deed to redeem her."

Aurelia scoffed, "Do you think I have any deep feelings for her? If something happens to her, it has nothing to do with me. On the contrary, you won't be able to spend her pension anymore."

Ritchie spat on the ground, "Just because you're marrying into a rich family doesn't make you superior. It's still uncertain whether you'll be able to marry into it. If you make my life difficult, don't expect yours to be easy!"
