The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 301

Aurelia's heart pounded. So, if anything happened to Leopold, the biggest beneficiary would be Fredric Stirling?

Fredric, with his carefree and flirtatious demeanor, didn't seem like the scheming type. Could he be playing the fool to catch the wise?

A chill ran down her spine. Suddenly, every member of the Stirling family seemed complex, hiding their true intentions. For Leopold to secure his position, he had to be even more ruthless, more decisive, more cunning.

On the other side of Ironridge.

Leopold gulped down a shot of bourbon, hoping the strong alcohol could numb his inner restlessness.

Kevin entered, “Ms. Aurelia arrived with Mr. Arnold. She's likely staying at his secret villa. Our men are discreetly searching for it.”

He paused, then added softly, “Ms. Aurelia should be safe for now staying with Mr. Arnold. ”

Leopold rubbed his throbbing temple. Safe? He didn't feel it at all.

Kevin presented a pile of documents, “These are border entry records of all infants in the last two months. We're checking them one by one. Aaron has bribed the local smugglers to investigate illegal channels.”

Leopold nodded slightly. Kevin understood that he needed some alone time and left.

The night was deep.

Leopold stood by the window, the cold wind causing his hair and thoughts to flutter.

The room was as silent as a tomb, so quiet he could hear his own heavy breathing. It felt like he was the only person left in the world.

He thought he didn't love Aurelia.

How could he love a woman who was full of schemes, cunning tricks, slippery like an eel?

But why had that woman become his Achilles' heel, his downfall?

When she left, it felt like his heart was hollowed out, only leaving behind a throbbing pain.

Was it all due to possessiveness?

He pulled out his phone, tried to send Aurelia a message, but it failed.

He was blocked!

Was she planning to sever ties with him completely?

He laughed bitterly and drained his glass.
