The CEO’S Unplanned Heir novel (Aurelia and Leopold)
Chapter 269

Chapter 269

“Not every woman experiences morning sickness when pregnant, and everyone's different,” Aureliaexplained, curious about whether Evelyn was indeed pregnant.

Elowen slammed her fist onto the table, “Keep an eye on her for me, and if she’s pregnant, you tellme right away. I won't let her keep the child.”

"OK," Aurelia replied nonchalantly, refusing to entertain the thought of being an accomplice in this.Regardless of the adults’ choices, the child would have been innocent.

“If there's nothing else, I'll get going. I have a lot of work to do. I took a break to come see you.”“You better keep an eye on Evelyn. If you don't help me, don't expect a good life once you'remarried into the Stirling family,” Elowen threatened.

Aurelia rolled her eyes secretly. Elowen was the type to wear her arrogance on her sleeve, unlikeEvelyn, who hid her cunning behind a facade of gentleness. This was one of the reasons Elowen lost,perhaps.

When Destiny's ad was launched, it caused a buzz.

Avery was trending again. And Serenity Films announced the upcoming show featuring Avery andSophie. Their fanbases were in a fierce online debate.

"Avery and Sophie definitely have chemistry. You can see the love in his eyes when he looks at her.”“Sophie's a mature and seductive, a perfect match for Avery.”

“Avery still loves Faye, okay? First love is the sweetest.”

"Forget it, they broke up two years ago. When Avery needed her the most, she wasn't there. Nowthat he's famous, she’s back for the attention.”

Aurelia was enjoying the comments about Avery's relationships, even posting comments from a fakeaccount. She was so engrossed that she didn’t notice Leopold standing behind her.

He reached out and ruffled her hair, “I've noticed you can lose yourself in the gossip.” His tone wasteasing.

Aurelia made a face, “It's my brother's gossip, so I'm invested. The fans know that Avery and Sophiewill be at the Friday jewelry show. The live stream will definitely have a lot of viewers.” As she spoke,she turned and flashed him a mischievous smile, “When we signed Avery for the ad, he wasn'tfamous, so the fee was low. Now that he's popular, the ad's effectiveness has increased. I really haveforesight, creating the largest profit for the company at the lowest cost:"

Leopold pinched her cheek lightly, “So, should I reward you?”

She stuck out her tongue playfully, “A bonus would be nice.”

Leopold's expression was growing serious, “I just got a report from Mr. Louis. The sales of theEternal Love series have surpassed Secret.”

“Yes,” Aurelia responded, trying to hide her shock.

Normally, the marketing department's reports were presented at the Monday meetings. Mr. Louisdeliberately releasing it now, just before Destiny's launch, was clearly an attempt to intimidate herand Mr. Harry, to lower their morale./

Leopold raised an eyebrow, “You are not interested in it22”

“What can I do?” She picked up her cup from the coffee table and took a sip. “Mr. Louis intentionallyreleasing the sales report now is clearly aimed at undermining me and Mr. Harry. Everyone knowsthat

Manager Simms is on Mr. Louis’ side. Today Mr. Harry demoted him, no doubt Mr. Louis is furious.He'd do anything to hinder Destiny's success.”

Leopold sat next to her, “You seem quite calm, enjoying the gossip.”

The truth was that Aurelia was far from calm. She felt immense pressure, but she was just good athiding it.

Her competition with Evelyn was not only the talk of the jewelry industry but also the socialitecircle. Many in the company were waiting to see her fail, to see her humiliated.

When the time came, their mockery would be enough to defeat her.
