The CEO’S Unplanned Heir novel (Aurelia and Leopold)
Chapter 1045

Sheryl let out a sigh, replying, "My biggest problem right now isn't holding onto this title. It's that I don't have a son. If he has a son with another woman, that kid will be his heir, and what good would be the lawful wife dothen?" "Why don't you just hurry up and have a son?" Lisbeth suggested.

"You think I don't want to? He has no intention of allowingto have more children. What am I supposed to do, force him?" Lisbeth pondered for a moment before saying, "Well, there's always a way. You could steal a little swimmers, right?" Sheryl curled her lip, "And what if I steal sand still end up with a daughter? Unless I go for IVE." "Then go for IVF. Remember Aurelia? She had her two sons through artificial insemination," Lisbeth pointed out.

That got Sheryl thinking. If she could somehow get ahold of Fredric's sperm for IVF and have a son, no one could challenge her status.

Back home, she called Fredric, asking him to cover for a talk.

"I'll agree to anything you want, as long as you consent to the divorce," Fredric said, eager to get back to Jelena's arms and the passion they shared. Just the thought of her set his blood on fire.

Sheryl leaned back on the couch, crossing her legs, "Just agree to transfer all your assets to Mira and Nina, and I'll grant you the divorce." Hearing it, Fredric was angry. Sheryl wanted him to leave the Stirling family without a dime! "You've got snerve," he snapped, seeing it as a blatant extortion.

Sheryl replied, "You claim to love Jelena, to want to marry her so badly. Can't you part with smaterial things? I've stood by you for years, raising children and managing our home. Even if I haven't earned my keep, I've certainly put in the hard work. I deserve this much." Fredric's face turned stormy, "I can only give you half. If that's not acceptable, we'll settle this at the family council." Sheryl snorted, "Leopold has already promisedhe'd veto any decision against me. If you don't agree, you can forget about the divorce." Fredric was furious.

Jelena had warned him that Aurelia had been at odds with Leopold over this. Could Leopold really be so stubborn that not even Aurelia's sweet words could sway him? Fredric left in a huff to have a serious talk with Leopold and Jessica.

Meanwhile, at the Stirling Mansion, Kane was engaged in a chess match with Jessica, while Leopold and Aurelia watched on, the family seemingly at peace.

Upon Fredric's arrival, Aurelia took Kane upstairs.

Jessica had the servants bring in srefreshments.

"Fredric, it's late. What brings you here?" she asked.

Fredric sat next to her, wrapping an arm around her like a child seeking affection.

"Mom, you've always been fond of me. Please agree to the divorce. I just can't continue with Sheryl." He knew Leopold's resistance had to be because Jessica hadn't given her blessing yet. In this household, Jessica's word was law, and no daughter-in-law could ever outmatch her.

She feigned annoyance, "Are you determined to follow in Chad's footsteps, aiming for a divorce?" Fredric, eager to please, said, "Sheryl can't hold a candle to you. If I had a wife as dignified, beautiful, smart, and as forgiving as you, I'd never even think of divorce." Jessica replied, "Don't butterup. Sheryl has been with you for years and has behaved herself. Jelena is playing the sgMagnolia did. She claimed she'd leave Chad if he didn't divorce, refused to be his mistress, and in the end, she still beca mistress."
