The CEO’S Unplanned Heir novel (Aurelia and Leopold)
Chapter 495

Chapter 495

Leopold paused in surprise. “The Stirling family would never let a son wander astray. Dad indeed had a few illegitimate daughters out there, but not any illegitimate son. Those women would be eager to have their sons recognized by the family to increase their own status. Who would hide such a thing?”

Every descendant of the Stirling family received a generous monthly allowance from the family trust. No one would give up this privilege.

Aurelia thought, “Either he doesn’t know about his aunt's affair with his father, or the child was forcibly aborted was a girl.”

“But what if someone can't recognize his lineage and holds a grudge?”

“To establish such an organization, one must have strong power overseas. My father's mistresses are only ordinary people. Their children, if not affiliated with the Stirling family, would also be ordinary,” Leopold said in a deep voice.

She and Arnold had the same thought.

But...

She tentatively asked, “How many sisters does Jessica have?”

"One." Leopold glanced at her. “What are you trying to say?”

Aurelia lowered her voice again. “Do you know about your aunt and Mr. Chad's affair?”

Leopold jolted, slightly frowning. “Where did you hear such gossip?”

“It's not gossip. It's true. When Jessica was pregnant for the first time, your aunt came to take care of her and ended up in Mr. Chad's bed.”

She sighed, “Jessica miscarried out of anger. It was a boy. Your elder brother was gone just like that. The worst part was that your aunt also got pregnant and was forcibly taken away by the Heninger family. Ever since then, she was never allowed to step into Elysium again. That child, whether a boy or a girl, would not be brought to the Stirling family, right? The Heninger family must have raised the child secretly. I bet it was a son. If Jessica had no sons, the Heninger family would have sent him back to be adopted by Jessica to be the heir.”

She paused and continued, “Back then, Jessica gave birth to four daughters in a row without a son. Your aunt must have been full of hope that she could take her son to the Stirling family to inherit the family business. But then you were born. God knows how disappointed she had been.

If that child knew the truth and your aunt has stirred him up, he might hold a grudge gainst you and want revenge. The Heninger family is a renowned large family overseas kestablish a dark organization with the wealth and power of the Heninger farmil

If something happened to you, he could return to recognize his lineage. After all, he is Jessica's nephew. The Heninger family would want him to replace you rather than an

unrelated outsider.”

Leopold fell silent, his expression turning extremely grave.

He was indeed unaware of this matter. His mother had never mentioned it. Maybe it was too heavy to speak of.

Aurelia patted his shoulder. “I think you need to look into the Heninger family thoroughly. That child may not necessarily stay with your aunt. He could be raised by one of your uncles. If you check among your cousins of similar age, you might be able to find him.”

Leopold's eyes darkened like they were covered by the night. “Did Arnold tell you all this?” He asked.

Aurelia raised an eyebrow. “He and his mother were closer to Mr. Chad, so they must know more secrets than you. After you were secretly attacked, the Stirling family has been investigating the mastermind behind it. It's impossible that they've found nothing. They might have found some clues that led to someone, and Mr. Chad ordered to stop the investigation.”

She curled her lips. “Your father owed his romantic debts and left the troubles behind to you. Instead of helping you clean the mess, he left them there to keep harming you. He was a jerk.”

He must have been incredibly unlucky to have such a lousy father.

A cold light flashed in Leopold's eyes as if he hated Chad's guts.

After remaining silent for a minute, he stretched his arm and pulled her back into his

arms

“I'm a bit hurt today, so you have to comfort me.”

Aurelia sighed, thinking that brotherly strife did indeed hurt.

So, men could never be too philandering. Succumbing to the temptation of the flesh brings nothing but trouble, causing headaches for generations to come.
