Chapter 493

Chapter 493

“But, he only has three illegitimate sons, not a single illegitimate daughter. That seems odd.”

With a deep voice, Arnold said, “Well, my father did have illegitimate daughters, but according tothe Stirling family rules, they aren't considered family. My older brother has a sister who livesabroad with him. It takes an astronomical amount of wealth to establish such a big organization.These girls, the so-called illegitimate daughters, sans any family fortune, live ordinary lives. Theywouldn't have such fiscal capacity, not by a long shot.s.”

Aurelia gasped quietly. The Stirling family's preference for boys over girls was way too severe.Medieval princesses lost in the civilian world could still return to the palace to recognize their kin.However, the Stirling family just washed their hands off their illegitimate daughters, leaving them tofend for themselves. Wasn't that too cruel?

As she was pondering, Arnold's voice came again. “The Stirling family wouldn't leave their sonsoutside uncared unless...” He paused with a mysterious smile on his face.

“I heard a rumor that during Jessica's pregnancy, her sister came to look after her. But my father hadan affair with Jessica's sister, causing Jessica to have a miscarriage. That was her first child, a son. It'ssaid that Jessica's sister was also pregnant, but their family — Heninger family has taken her away byforce. And since then, she hasn't set foot in Elysium.”

Aurelia was stunned. Jessica was so pathetic that even her sister had betrayed her.

There's an old saying: “don’t foul your own doorstep,” but it seemed Mr. Chad just couldn't keep hispants zipped. No wonder his kidneys gave out, and even a transplant couldn't save him.

“Was the baby born?”

“I don’t know. The Heninger family wouldn't tell the Stirling family even if the baby was born andwould secretly raise the child overseas,” Arnold said.

“Does Leopold know about this?”

I'm not sure. Jessica probably didn't tell him about such a family scandal,” Arnold replied. Aureliasighed. It was indeed a difficult thing to talk about.

Jessica had a sad life. She was a gorgeous and noble lady but ended up marrying a playboy. Hermarriage was unhappy.

I've also found some clues,” she said, telling him about Kerry and the Twilight Club.

Amold stroked his chin: I've heard about Kerry before. She's from Verdecalma and

erried the owner of the Twilight Club. After the owner's death, she took over the club

Aurelia whispered, “I've heard the owner suddenly fe

poisoned.”

Arnold gently patted her head. “I'll send someone to investigate Kerry in the dark. You'd better stayaway from Twilight Club. It's too dangerous.”

He didn't want her to be in danger. He had failed to protect her three years ago and almost lost her.The thought still haunted him.

She smiled faintly. “Don’t worry. I will protect myself. I won't make the same mistake twice.”

“Take a bodyguard wherever you go. Never act alone,” Arnold warned her.

His worst fear was her getting caught up in Leopold's troubles. If someone wanted to get atLeopold, they would target the people close to him, and she was a prime target.

Aurelia nodded. She was very cautious even when eating out.

Her gaze shifted to see William returning with two ice creams.

"Here you go. Your favorite strawberry flavor.”

“Thanks.” Nellie grinned. She had decided to be good friends with William. He was handsome,clever, and generous. Although she hadn't seen his face, she was sure he was good-looking.Aurelia was helpless. She realized her son had a way with girls in his blood. It was the same back inGoldstone when all the neighborhood girls liked him. He had a lot of little

fans.

She was sure she would have to guide him properly. Being popular was good, but he must not be aplayboy.
