The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 618

Aurelia let out a derisive snort, "You were the one shouting from the rooftops that you wanted to break free from the AK Group, to sever your ties with us. So as a little payback, they played a prank on you and made you sleepwalk. Are you turning your coat now? Planning to pledge undying loyalty and smear my name instead?"

Megan explained, "I was naive before, not suspecting you. You despise me the most, and you're the one who wants me gone."

Aurelia chuckled ominously.

"Do you really think I'd go to all the trouble of hiring a voodoo practitioner from the swamps of Louisiana just to make you sleepwalk and cut your hair? Am I that dumb? Why wouldn't I just make you take a swan dive into the ocean to feed the sharks, nice and silent? Or have you paint your face like a clown, and that would be far more satisfying."

A flash of rage sparked in Megan's eyes.

Aurelia had indeed concocted numerous methods to get rid of her.

"Maybe that's your plan for next time."

At the sidelines, Melissa quietly took a deep breath. She was beginning to piece things together. Sleepwalking and cutting hair were creepy enough.

"Megan, cool your jets," Melissa interjected, "I don't think Aurelia's involved in this. If it were me, and I'd gone to the trouble of getting a voodoo guy, it wouldn't just be for a haircut. If you're going to do something, you'd go for the jugular, right? Cutting hair, and what's the point? It'll just grow back. There's no satisfaction in that. Maybe you're actually sleepwalking. You should see a shrink, pronto."

Megan's head shook as if it were on a bobble, utterly convinced she wasn't afflicted with sleepwalking, "No way. How could I have sleepwalking?"

"What's so impossible about it?" Melissa said earnestly, "Lots of folks with mental issues don't think they're sick. I've heard of sleepwalkers doing all sorts of things, slicing watermelons, cutting hair. Some even strip down and streak through the streets."

Melissa's words made Aurelia wonder if Megan might indeed be suffering from sleepwalking, not any voodoo or hypnosis. Perhaps they were all overthinking it.

Megan couldn't accept the possibility of having sleepwalking disorder.

"It's impossible. Someone must have cursed me."
