The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 324

Arnold received a call from Marcia. He initially considered ignoring it, but finally he decided to visit her after much deliberation.

Marcia was lying on the couch, her face pale from exhaustion. Over the past three years, all her investments had gone belly up, leaving her in a financial pit.

She had a hunch that this was Leopold's way of giving her a warning. He was beginning to suspect her.

Leopold had destroyed the Night Devil Organization. To avenge Aurelia, he had turned those who had kidnapped her and strapped her with a bomb into a grisly mess.

Arnold cast her a cold look. Even though he was in Goldstone before, he had heard about her predicament.

"Aunt Marcia, are you looking to borrow money from me?"

Marcia massaged her throbbing temples and said, "Arnold, I've been the one spoiling you since you were a child, and you dare mock me? You even pointed a gun at me for a woman. You break my heart."

Arnold hummed dismissively, "You knew Aurelia was my beloved, yet you had her strapped with a bomb, using her as bait. You almost got her killed. Have you ever considered how I would feel?"

Marcia waved him off, "I didn't do it. It was the Night Devil Organization. They got greedy and acted on their own. If I had orchestrated this, do you think Leopold would have let me off the hook? He would have skinned me alive."

Arnold demanded in a low voice, "Who are you working with?"

Marcia grasped his hand firmly, "All you need to know is that everything I've done is for you. You should be the one leading the Stirling family, not Leopold."
