The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 827

She hastily set down her wine glass, grabbed a napkin to wipe her hands, and tried to maintain calm. Then she flashed an exaggerated, icy smirk. "What kind of nonsense are you spouting? Of course, I gave birth to a boy. I had the blood tests and the 3D ultrasound to make sure before he was born."

Aurelia had been watching closely and caught the subtle signs of distress.

She must have guessed right that Megan had a daughter and hadn't done the paternity test, willingly accepting the switch orchestrated by the AK Group.

"In this game of inheritance, you're pulling out all the stops, aren't you? Too bad you picked the wrong side. The more you rely on the AK Group, the more you'll be shunned by the Stirling family."

Megan snorted dismissively. "I have nothing to do with them. Stop slinging mud at me."

"The truth can't be tainted, and lies won't turn into truths," Aurelia said coolly. "The Stirling family knows everything about you. I'd advise you to pull back before it's too late, or you won't even have a chance to regret it."

Megan was determined to see her scheme through to the bitter end.

Without a son as her talisman and without the support of the AK Group, she was utterly without hope. But she was not one to give up. If she could fool everyone with this impostor son, she could still reign supreme like a puppet master pulling strings behind the curtain.

"I know what I'm doing. Do you think your son will ever take over the Stirling family? The higher you rise now, the harder you'll fall later."

Aurelia let out a snort of disdain, confident that she wouldn't be the one to fall first. Those who courted disaster were the ones who met it swiftly.

"I believe good people are always under God's watchful eye."

"Your luck has run out," Megan hissed through her clenched teeth, cursing Aurelia inwardly a hundred times over.

Avery slammed his hand on the table, unable to hold back his anger any longer. "Get out, now. You're not welcome here."

Marianne interrupted with support, "Exactly, who do you think you are? You're a prime suspect in poisoning Mr. Leopold. Just wait until he leaves the hospital. He'll divorce you, and you can pray you don't end up behind bars."

They were more inclined to believe Megan was the poisoner. After all, Leopold was planning to divorce her, and rumor had it she was getting nothing.

Compared to the settlement Aurelia received, Megan's was far worse, which was enough to drive her mad.

Knowing she was outnumbered and couldn't outargue the crowd, Megan decided to retreat.

"Lisa, you're a fool to side with this manipulative witch. You'll regret it soon enough."

Lisa glared back at her. "The most despicable person is the one who doesn't spare even innocent children."

"Once I'm the matriarch of the Stirling family, you'll be the first I'll cast out!" Megan stomped her foot and skulked away, seething. Once Kane, the cursed child, was out of the picture, Aurelia's days of triumph would be over.
