The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 982

Aurelia was the home manager, the one tasked with holding down the fort for all the daughters-in-law of the Stirling family!

There's no harm without comparison.

Ever since Leopold broke the rules, committing an unforgivable act against the Stirling family, Sheryl had felt that Fredric wasn't so bad after all. He had, at least, promised her that her status as his primary partner would never waver.

Now that Leopold's name had been cleared, Fredric had reclaimed his title as the most charming of them all. Once again, the position of Sheryl was the most precarious.

Aurelia got the message loud and clear. "As wives in the Stirling family, we must stick together. Every homewrecker is an enemy to us all."

Lisbeth couldn't help but smile. "They say it's tough for sisters-in-law to get along, but you seem to be doing just fine."

At her words, Sheryl just shrugged.

She was a smart cookie. She used to dislike Aurelia because of Jelena, worried that Aurelia was secretly helping Jelena climb the ranks.

But now that Jelena had gone abroad for further studies, leaving Fredric's orbit. Still, Fredric's parade of women had come and gone like a revolving door. Getting along with Aurelia could only benefit Sheryl, with no downside in sight.

Of course, the main reason was that she had no sons, so there was no conflict of interest with Aurelia.

During Leopold's hospital stay, she had fantasized about becoming the home master, but her childless status made her position incredibly fragile.

Fredric, now a man of leisure, didn't seem to care about having sons. But if he were to become the acting regent one day, he'd surely be in a hurry to produce an heir. If some seductress beat her to it and bore a son, she'd have to make way for her.

So, she might as well be an ordinary woman. Even without a son, it was no big deal. At worst, she thought, let Nina marry off to someone else.

"Our Stirling family rules are strict. Conflicts between sisters-in-law would be met with disciplinary action," she declared.

"Is it really that serious?" Lisbeth gasped, covering her mouth in shock.

Sheryl explained, "The Stirling family rules are as thick as a book. I'll have Aurelia give you a copy to look over someday. As a Stirling daughter-in-law, you must remember the rules and never commit any taboos. If you have any questions, you can always go to Aurelia. As the leading manager, she oversees all family affairs."
