The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 720

Skyler's lips curled into a sly grin, a hint of mystery in his eyes, "Although Geoffrey is a master of disguise, capable of changing his appearance at will, he has one weakness."

"What weakness?" The question burst from the crowd in near unison.

Skyler replied with mock seriousness, "He's allergic to silver. Just a scratch on his skin with a silver object, and he'll break out in hives."

Nickel allergies were common enough, but a silver allergy was a rare beast indeed.

William made a face as if he'd just bitten into a lemon, "He's not a vampire, is he? Only vampires are supposed to be allergic to silver."

Aurelia chuckled, "Honey, there's no such thing as vampires in the real world. The vampire myth is actually based on people who suffered from porphyria."

"Could he be a porphyria patient?" William asked, his curiosity piqued.

"I don't know," Aurelia said, ruffling his hair. Geoffrey was like a specter lurking in the shadows; aside from Skyler's descriptions, they knew nothing about him.

Leopold stroked his chin thoughtfully as he listened. If Geoffrey really was Skyler's twin brother, Tanya could have easily switched the two, letting Geoffrey, who was just as ambitious, claim his right to their heritage.

Why bother focusing her efforts on Skyler?

She hadn't done that, which could only mean one of two things. Either Geoffrey wasn't actually Skyler's twin, or he had some dark secret, some affliction far worse than anything Skyler might bear.

He was thus relegated to being Skyler's shadow, hiding behind him.

The bodyguard returned with the concoction Skyler had requested, and he quickly whipped up an insecticide. After diluting it, he handed it to the guards to spray around the yard and garden.
