The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 611

Melissa felt the sting of truth as the words hit her like a punch to the gut.

Her face fell, and she could feel the anger coursing through her veins at the mere thought of Elvis humiliating her in public, calling her a useless freeloader and an eyesore. Every cell in her body seemed to scream with anger.

“Then tell Leopold to restore my family trust fund so I can make my investments. That jerk Elvis won't have any reason to look down on me then.”

Aurelia sighed. “You’re giving me way too much credit, Melissa. Mr. Leopold is my boss. The boss tells the employee what to do, but it can’t be the other way around. I'm just his ex-wife, but you're his blood sister. If you ask him, it'll carry more weight than anything I could say. Leopold wouldn’t have kicked me to the curb and married someone else if he had any love left for me.”

Melissa pursed her lips. “He’s trying to get back together with you, isn’t he? Otherwise, he wouldn’t have slept with you.”

“By no means will Mr. Leopold want to be back together with me. He’s had his fill of me and is looking for someone new. We were honestly in a video conference. If he wanted to make love, he’d want someone young and pretty, not a discarded ex-wife like me.”

Aurelia tried to keep her tone calmer than she felt. Some things were better left denied.

Pfft! Melissa wasn't buying it. If Leopold had no interest in being back together with Aurelia, he wouldn't have invited Aurelia on this vacation.

After all, Aurelia still maintained her beauty. It must be difficult for Leopold to sever ties with her.

“You know you're one of the luckiest women in history on divorce settlements. Who else walks away with billions and several properties like you? Leopold did have gone above and beyond for you.”

Aurelia couldn't deny that, but she suspected that his generosity came with strings attached, possibly hoping for a reconciliation, so he restrained her in all ways and forbade her to remarry.

What kind of tycoon would make a losing deal?

“Melissa, you love dolling up and shopping, right? Why not be a beauty or fashion influencer? It’s comfy and relaxed, and you can make money. With your looks and grace, you’d have fans flocking to you in no time.”
