The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 672

The incident with Aurelia's poisoning was a close call that could never happen again.

“Got it,” William and Skyler nodded in unison.

Later, Aurelia dropped her son off at Arnold's place.

On the way back to Blossom Villa, she voiced her concerns, "Geoffrey and your Aunt Tanya probably want to keep a tight grip on Skyler and have him wrapped around their fingers. Now that Skyler's thinking for himself, they must be fuming."

Leopold's voice carried a weight of seriousness. "My guys will look out for Skyler around the clock. If those snakes make a move, we'll know. Sometimes, it's good when they can’t hold it and show their true colors."

Aurelia brushed a strand of hair behind her ear. "I'd like to get a glimpse of Geoffrey's real face. He probably has as many masks as you do, which is why nobody has seen his true self till now."

A cold glint flickered in Leopold's eyes. "Then we'll fight fire with fire."

After some silence, he added, "The judge and jury came to a consensus about the guy who stirred up trouble at the Wildlife Foundation the other day. They’ve decided to throw the book at him, making an example out of him."

It was a big deal online, and handing down a harsh sentence was what the public wanted.

Aurelia asked in a low voice, "Did the police conduct a psychiatric evaluation on him?"

Leopold replied, "They did. No history of mental illness in his family, and he was of sound mind."

Aurelia smirked sarcastically. "His family claims he's mentally sick and that his donation was invalid due to his condition."

Leopold scoffed, "Mental illness isn't something he can just fake whenever it's convenient for him."

At that, Aurelia firmly believed that the odd behavior he had shown previously was all an act, a ploy to get his money back.

The world is full of all sorts of characters.
