The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 294

In just a few hours, the news had traveled all around the globe.

Evelyn was pregnant, and a wedding was in the works, slated for two months later, just after she'd passed the risky first trimester.

Leopold's cell phone buzzed, an unknown caller ID displayed.

He swiftly activated the most advanced call tracker.

A cryptic voice echoed from the speaker, distorted by a voice changer.

"Does Mr. Leopold still want this child?"

Leopold scoffed, his tone nonchalant, "Just an illegitimate child, one more or less won't make a difference."

He deliberately emphasized the word 'illegitimate.'

......

That evening, Leopold hadn't returned home yet.

Aurelia sat by the crib, her gaze blankly fixed on Kane.

Was the child in the photo really not Liam?

Was her Liam really gone?

An email notification pinged.

It was an audio recording.

"Just an illegitimate child, one more or less..." It was Leopold’s voice.

"I thought you had secretly married Aurelia, Mr. Leopold."

"Wishful thinking. She was nobody. What makes her worthy to be my wife!"

"Don't you intend to save the child?"

"No one can intimidate me!"

......

Each word in the recording exploded like a bomb in Aurelia's mind, causing her head to throb and her stomach to churn.

Leopold had lied to her!

Liam was alive, truly alive!

But Leopold had no intention to save him, he didn't want Liam anymore!

She felt as if all her energy was drained, collapsing onto the bed, her back chilled, limbs trembling.

"Evelyn is pregnant, so it's a shotgun wedding."

"Mr. Leopold sure has a thing for the daughters of the Alcott family."

......

These messages were the last straw for Aurelia.

Her child was suffering in the hands of the enemy, while he was planning to marry another woman!

Because Evelyn was pregnant, her child meant nothing? Had he gone from being precious to worthless?

Just then, the door opened.

Leopold walked in, her tears caught his eye, causing his heart to flutter, "What's wrong?"

She turned to him, his figure started to blur behind her tear-filled vision.

"Why did you lie to me? Liam is alive, isn't he? You don't plan to save him, do you?"

Leopold rubbed his temples, "I have my own plan."

"Your plan is to marry Evelyn and have more children, isn't it? I'm just nobody who is not worthy to be your wife, so the child I bore means nothing to you. Only the child Evelyn bears is precious to you, right?"

She couldn't control her emotions, growing more agitated, her voice rising with every word.
