The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 72

Aurelia's face suddenly drained of color as she quickly rose from her chair and made her way to the balcony to make a call.

"Avery, are you alright?"

"That jerk Evan tricked me. He didn't call me over for a casting call, but to flaunt that he got the lead role. He humiliated me in front of everyone, even said I can't act..."

He was clearly upset. Aurelia's heart pounded with worry, fearing that he might do something rash. "Avery, calm down. There will be many more opportunities in the future. Where are you right now? I'll come to you."

Arnold approached her, "What happened?"

"My brother is in a bit of trouble. I'm sorry, but I have to leave." She quickly grabbed her purse on the couch and rushed out.

"I'll accompany you," Arnold offered as he followed her out.

In the car, Aurelia sent a flurry of messages to her brother via WhatsApp, trying her best to comfort him.

As the car halted at a traffic light, Arnold asked softly, "Your brother is an actor?"

"Not yet. He's a junior in college. He should have already graduated, but he had to take two years off due to illness. He just got back from home yesterday to continue his studies."

She couldn't help but scowl as she explained, "One of his old classmates made it big and even scored a lead role. He purposely invited Avery to audition just to humiliate him. It's utterly despicable. If such a person could become famous, it would be a travesty!"

Arnold handed her a bottle of juice to help her cool down, "I know a decent agent. I'll get in touch with her and arrange a meeting with your brother."

Her eyes lit up at his words but quickly dimmed again, "She wouldn't happen to work under your company, the Stirling Group, would she?"

Wouldn't the big boss of that be Leopold?

Gosh, she might have fallen into that dangerous place herself, but she wouldn't let her brother do the same.

Arnold cast her a deep glance, "So, you don't want him to join the Stirling Group's media company?"

She made a face, covering her mouth to whisper, "Your brother is too cold, like ice. I hope Avery can have a warmer boss."

A hint of a playful smile tugged at his lips, "Do you think I would be suitable?"
