The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 623

He was like a mythical hero with Herculean strength, a master of disguises who could reach the heavens or delve into the netherworld with his cloak of invisibility.

"Is Geoffrey really that amazing?"

"Yep." Skyler nodded with the certainty of a child who believed in superheroes. "He's a rare gem in this world, a genius who can hypnotize not just people, but animals too."

"Has he ever hypnotized you?" Aurelia inquired, her curiosity piqued.

"Not everyone's susceptible to hypnosis. Scatterbrains like me or William here, we're immune." Skyler explained with a grin.

"Why's that?"

With a mischievous twinkle in his eye, Skyler stuck out his tongue, "Because we're kids, and our attention's all over the place, so it's super tough to hypnotize us."

"Oh." Aurelia arched an eyebrow. She had heard from Leopold that it was indeed difficult to hypnotize children.

"Do you think someone like Megan would be easily hypnotized?"

Skyler flashed a sly smile, "Next time I see her, I'll give it a shot for you."

Aurelia raised her hand and patted his shoulder.

"Skyler, I think you could be even more impressive than Geoffrey because you've got brains just like him. But what's more important is you've got a kinder heart."

Skyler stuck out his tongue again, "Then why do people say that only the good die young and the bad live forever?"

Aurelia choked on her words. She had no answer to that.

It was an unfair world, after all, where from the moment of birth, people were ranked and categorized, survival of the fittest, with no real sense of fairness.

"The big bad wolves who commit crimes end up behind bars, munching on bread and water, not living a thousand years, right?"

Skyler sighed, "That depends on where you are. Like in Country Verdecalma, the law is practically non-existent. It's all about who's the top dog."
