The CEO’S Unplanned Heir novel (Aurelia and Leopold)

Chapter 99 Avery was hung by the wires and soared into the Chapter 98 Avery pulled a face, “Sis, aren't you leaving your job soon? Why are you still bending over backwards for the boss?” Aurelia shrugged, “As long as I'm still with Astral Enterprises, he’s my boss. | have to follow his orders.” “What if he wanted something more from you, would you still obey?” Avery asked, seizing the opportunity.

Aurelia choked on her words.

If it wasn't for that peculiar medical mishap, she could count the number of times she’s been in the same room with Leopold on one hand.

“Avery, the big boss not only sits at the top of the pyramid, he never lacks women. I'm just a small fish in a big pond. Even if | threw myself at him, he wouldn't bat an eye. You're overthinking this!” Avery was left muddled by her words.

Did Leopold visit her room last night just for work? Why did they act like they just met this morning? He rubbed his chin thoughtfully, determined to get to the bottom of this.

As he pondered, Aurelia pinched his cheek, “What were you thinking this morning? You talked about everything you shouldn't have, stepping on every possible landmine. The boss was furious, which is why he’s making things difficult for me. If not, | might have been able to stay on for a few more days, take a good vacation.” Avery pouted, “l was just joking around, gossiping a little. | didn’t know he was so petty. You must've been exploited and oppressed by him at the company, right?” Aurelia sighed inwardly. She was indeed being oppressed.

In the face of the tyrant, she didn’t even have the chance to reason.

Once the baby was born, she was determined to divorce him, not waiting even a second longer.

“I won't say anything out of line. You should be careful too when you're at Serenity Films. The show buss is more complex than any company, one wrong move and you could be slandered.” Avery scratched his head, “I understand.” On the set, the props team was testing the wind machine.

Arnold put an arm around Avery, “If it gets too tough, switch to a body double. Safety first.” “I'm fine, | don’t want a body double.” Avery shook his head. He was a newcomer, he needed to be humble. and low-key, not leave a bad impression on the crew.

Aurelia adjusted his hair, like a worried mother hen, “Make sure you look good when you go up there, and don’t look down.” Avery gave a charming smile, “Got it, don’t worry.” When they started filming, Nydia arrived, and Arnold went with her to the director's team.

Aurelia sat in the rest area, watching from afar.

Alarge shadow cast over her, blocking the sunlight overhead.

She turned around instinctively, the tall figure behind her startled her.

10:33 — “Mr. Leopold, what brings you here? Haven't you returned to Elysium?” Leopold frowned, “Are you so eager for me to leave?” He came to take her back, how could he leave alone? Aurelia chuckled awkwardly. “You're a busy man, managing so many companies, surely there are a lot of things waiting for you to handle.” Leopold looked down at her, a glint in his eyes, “That's none of your concern.” His time was wasted by her, OK? She kept running around, causing him stress.

“Oh.” Aurelia retracted her neck, she simply wanted him to leave, to give her some space.

“Why are you here at the film studio?” “Inspection.” Leopold replied curtly.

“Eh?” Aurelia was taken aback, “You own the film studio too?” Leopold didn’t respond, thereby confirming her suspicion.

The Stirling Group’s Luminous Vision Media was the largest shareholder of the film studio.

Aurelia stuck out her tongue.

Alright, he was indeed rich and powerful, not to be messed with! Better to keep her distance! www sky.

Aurelia quickly took out her phone to record, “Wow, Avery is just so cool! When this movie comes out, he'll get the credit he deserves.” Leopold stretched out a long arm, blocking her view, “Your brother's about to make his big debut, and you're not seeking the help of his legal brother-in-law, but an outsider?” Aurelia choked a bit on this. Brother—in-law? That sounded rather... ominous? She shushed him, “Keep your voice down, there are paparazzi everywhere. They're very interested in the scandals of wealthy men like yourself. If we're spotted together, we're toast.” She was just trying to sit back and watch the unfold, not become the target of it.

Leopold glared at her, “Stop changing the subject and answer my question.” She flashed a sheepish smile, “This is such a small matter, | wouldn't dare to bother you with it.” She'd be a fool to let her brother jump into the same dangerous place she was in.

Besides, even if she asked for his help, he wouldn't get involved. At most, he’d sign her brother and leave him to sink or swim, just like her.

Arno was much more reliable! Leopold's lips curved into a mockingly cold smile, “Is there anything you're afraid to do?” When it came to provoking him, she was fearless! She suddenly went quiet, lifting her head and meeting his gaze with a serious expression, “There are plenty of things I'm afraid to do, and asking for your help is definitely one of them!” She didn’t want to be mocked, ridiculed, or looked down upon by him! Leopold's handsome face tightened, her words striking him like a punch to the gut.

Suddenly, he realized that there was a chasm between them.

Though she was physically close, her heart was very far away, never once coming close to him! This revelation twisted a nerve in his heart.

He moved his lips as if to say something, but swallowed his words, his face bearing an upset expression.

An awkward silence spread between the two of them.

Arnold walked over, his gaze darkening upon seeing his younger brother, “Leopold, are you also here to visit the set?” Leopold was in a bad mood, he coldly replied, “I'm not that idle.” “Mr. Leopold came for inspection, he just happened to pass by.” Aurelia hastily explained.

“How coincidental.” Arnold lifted a corner of his mouth into a strange smile, took a seat next to her, and handed her a bottle of juice.

“I didn’t expect Avery to nail the scene in one take. It seems we were worrying for nothing.” Aurelia grinned, Avery is a natural-born actor.” 12 1033 “I knew he was talented the moment | saw him.” Amold chuckled.

Aurelia gave him a thumbs up, giggling. “You sure have an eye for talent!” The two chatted and laughed, completely forgetting the presence of the third person.

Her laughter was so bright, so natural, each frame like a sharp thorn piercing into Leopold's eyes.

She had never laughed like this in front of him! His eyes ached, his heart souring as if he was having a heart attack.

Gritting his teeth, he squeezed out a few words, “Now that the shooting is over, come with me to the car for a meeting.” Aurelia turned her head, her smile instantly disappearing, as if blown away by the wind.

“Okay.” She responded quietly.

Leopold's heart tightened, his mood getting worse. He bit his lip and turned to walk towards the parking lot.

Aurelia stuck her tongue out at his retreating figure, “Arno, | need to go to a meeting.“— A hint of coldness flashed across Arnold's eyes, “I made dinner reservations for tonight, Avery, the director, and the producer are coming. Do you want to join?” Aurelia rubbed her hands together, “I'm an outsider in the industry, it might not be appropriate for me to be there. Please take care of Avery, he’s still on medication and can’t drink. Can you keep an eye on him?” “Don’t worry, | know. I'll have the assistant drink for him.” Arnold nodded and smiled.

Aurelia was full of gratitude, “Arno, thank you so much. You've helped me a lot, | don’t know how | can ever repay you?” Chapter 100
