Chapter 531
"Skyler, how can Geoffrey look exactly like you when he isn't your blood brother?"
Skyler pulled out a lollipop, munching on it as he confessed, "I don't know. I've never met him. Aunt Tanya told me we look alike."
His head dropped, his expression crestfallen. "Aunt Tanya likes Geoffrey, not me.
Aurelia patted his shoulder, "Well, I like you, not Geoffrey. Geoffrey, with his creepy bugs, isn't cute at all. Skyler, who tends to flowers, is really adorable."
Hearing this, Skyler looked up, flashing a toothy grin, "I like you too."
After playing with him for a while, Aurelia left.
Skyler went to the window sill, picked up his watering can and continued tending to his flowers, an innocent smile adorning his face, "Little bunny, white and bright, with ears standing upright. Cut the veins then the arteries, still as a statue, oh so cute."
Exiting the hotel, Aurelia drove straight to the office to find Leopold.
Seeing her, Leopold was slightly taken aback, “Aren't you on vacation?"
“I've got something important to talk about."
Aurelia brewed two cups of coffee, sliding one across the table to him.
After taking a sip of her coffee, she asked calmly, "Does Skyler have another brother?"
Leopold blinked and said, "He is the oldest, so he would not have another brother."
"He told me about a brother named Geoffrey, who keeps a collection of venomous bugs and toxic mushrooms. I suspect this guy has something to do with AK Group's biological research lab.” Aurelia explained.
Leapold focused on her first statement, "He told you? When did he speak to you?"
Aurelia had no choice but to recount her encounter with Skyler.
Leopold was grim as if shrouded by a cloud of gloom.
Aurelia continued, “Tanya, bitter and resentful, might have sought revenge on Jessica by subjecting Geoffrey to a nightmarish upbringing, sowing the seeds of hatred. This led to Geoffrey growing up twisted, establishing AK Group as a criminal organization."
Leopold's fingers tapped lightly on his coffee mug, deep in thought.
Aurelia seemed to have thought of something, asking, "Does Tanya have any kids with her current husband?"
“They have a daughter.’ Leopold replied solemnly.
"Then Geoffrey can't be Skyler's half-brother. They must be twins." Aurelia mumbled.
It was possible for Skyler, with his intelligent issues, to mistake his younger brother for his elder brother.
Just like how he had mistaken her for a sister, so this had to be ruled out.
