The CEO’S Unplanned Heir novel (Aurelia and Leopold) novel Chapter 697

Chapter 697

It was impossible, yet there she stood, utterly confounded. Megan had watched with her own eyes as Leopold got into the car.

All the way, she had tailed him closely, never once losing sight of the vehicle, never once seeing it stop. How could Leopold just vanish into thin air?

As Lana whirled around, her eyes met with a startled expression from Megan.

“What are you doing here? You haven't been following me, have you?” Lana's voice was tinged with disbelief.

"Where's Leopold? Where did Leopold go?" demanded Megan, her voice seething with anger.

Lana looked at her through sunglasses, her irritation palpable as she rolled her eyes and replied, "Why should I tell you?"

“Because he's my husband,” Megan ground out each word with barely contained rage.

Lana let out a mocking chuckle, "So what? You can't keep track of your husband, and you think I can?"

Megan was so close to slapping the smugness right off Lana's face. "I saw him get into your car, she insisted.

Lana's expression turned to one of exaggerated shock, "Oh my God. It was just me and my driver. How could you mistake him for Leopold? You've got somnambulism and delusions. You better get yourself to a doctor, pronto."

Megan didn't buy it. She flung the car door open and searched high and low, but aside from the driver, there was no one else.

She had been so stupid, so utterly fooled, and had wasted precious time chasing Lana.

“What pulled you away from your cozy time at the ranch to come shopping here?" Megan inquired, suspicion lacing her words.

“What I do is none of your business. Do I owe you an explanation?" Lana shot back before turning on her heel to leave, ignoring Megan completely.

Megan was struck by a sudden realization, that she had been lured away by a classic bait-and-switch, orchestrated by that vixen Lana, no doubt in cahoots with Aurelia. They had probably dressed the driver up as Leopold to draw her out, leaving Aurelia free to cozy up to Leopold.

“Lana, I'm keeping tabs on this. We'll settle the score next time,’ she muttered under her breath. She hurried back to her car and sped toward the ranch.

By now, Leopold had taken Aurelia, William, Skyler, and Sierra to the local evening fair.

Skyler chimed in, nodding earnestly, "William always gives me gifts, such as handmade models, and they're so cool. His planes can even fly in the sky."

Aurelia joined them, patting Sierra's shoulder with a smile, “Don't be formal with William. Pick out whatever you like."

She glanced over the wind chimes, "These are quite lovely. I'll choose one myself.

Together, Aurelia and Sierra, each selected a wind chime before they moved on to explore other stalls.

Will spotted a claw machine and beckoned Skyler and Sierra to join him in trying to win a plush toy.

Aurelia and Leopold watched from a short distance, their conversation turning serious.

“If Skyler really has a split personality, having been in Elysium for so long, it's unlikely Geoffrey hasn't shown up even once, right?"

"The fear is that he's learned how to mimic Sky without being detected"

This was Leopold's greatest concern and Aurelia's worst fear.
