The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 694

"Since Aunt Tanya had said that, I needed to get to the bottom of this mystery. William, it's time we hit the books. You need to master hypnosis at the highest level. If you can do that, you can help me prove what's going on."

William stared back, a slow realization dawning on him about what Skyler was trying to prove.

Skyler was unusually quiet at dinner and didn't say a word throughout the meal.

Aurelia, sharp as a tack, sensed something was off. Back in her room, she summoned William.

"Skyler's been acting all kinds of strange today. Something happened?" she inquired.

William spilled the beans about Tanya's visit that afternoon.

"Aunt Tanya says Geoffrey is just a figment of Skyler's imagination. She claimed all the pets Skyler thought he'd had were actually killed by him, but he just doesn't remember. She's telling him he's sick, pushing these pills on him, and he's just heartbroken. Plus, Aunt Tanya was practically shouting so I bet she wanted me and the bodyguard to overhear. She's out to frame Skyler, to cover up Geoffrey's existence."

Aurelia was taken aback and quickly briefed Leopold on the situation.

Upon hearing it, Leopold stroked his chin, his expression grave.

"Sounds like Tanya's trying to make us think Skyler's got a split personality, and Geoffrey's his alter ego."

Aurelia gasped. She had seen TV shows about multiple personalities, one character had seven, and some of those were women.

"Could Geoffrey be an alter ego Skyler created?"

"According to Skyler, Geoffrey's his spitting image, but he's never laid eyes on him. There may be a split personality," Leopold mused.

"But Skyler didn't say he's never seen Geoffrey, just that he's never seen his face without a mask," Aurelia countered.
