The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 288

"Mind your own business first." Aurelia tossed back, leaving with her parents.

As her father just arrived, Aurelia asked her mother to stay at the Sunbeam Retreat for the night and come back to pick her up the next day.

When she returned to their villa, Leopold was in the midst of feeding their baby. The scene was so surreal that Aurelia could hardly believe her eyes. The once aloof, high-and-mighty boss had turned into a doting dad.

Upon seeing her return, he asked casually, "Did you sort out everything with Ritchie?"

She sighed, "As long as he hasn't got money from us, he will cause trouble."

Once the baby was done feeding, she took him from Leopold's arms and burped him gently, resting him on her shoulder.

Leopold's expression darkened slightly, "Ritchie can indeed stir up trouble. Those rumors during the anniversary celebrations were all spread by him."

Aurelia was taken aback, but not surprised, "It must have been Emma who asked him to do it. They've known each other online for quite a long time. I knew there was a mole. Was the video also taken by Emma?"

"She's not that capable yet," Leopold replied in a deep voice.

Aurelia gave him a sidelong glance, her heart churning with a sudden wave of shock.

He must have already investigated this issue thoroughly, but chose not to disclose it, intentionally hiding the truth.

"You knew Elowen was innocent, didn't you?"

"Innocent how?" he retorted.

Aurelia fell silent. He was determined to make Elowen take the fall, giving him a reason to call off their engagement. Such a sly fox!

"Who was the one who plotted against Elowen?" she asked quietly.

He leaned back on the couch, nonchalantly replying, "When it's time for you to know, you will."

Typical! Aurelia thought to herself, he's clearly trying to protect someone. When dealing with people he dislikes, he can be as ruthless as a hawk. But for those he cherishes, even if they committed a felony, he'd still treat them gently.

Such a hypocrite!
