The CEO’S Unplanned Heir ( Aurelia Hawthorne ) - Season 3 Episode 52

Ritchie had always been a bully at home but a coward outside. Now, he was furious but didn’t dare do

something. Instead, he muttered, “I am the eldest grandson of the Hawthorne family, and their

ancestral house should be mine. I’d sell it, and anyone who tries to stop me, I’ll crush them.”

“No matter who you crush, you’ll have to face the consequences, and then the ancestral house

wouldn’t have anything to do with you,” Aurelia retorted before leaving with Jolin and Jelena.

Perla was upset and annoyed, slapping her thigh, and she asked, “Mom, what do we do now? We’ve

already paid the deposit, so we can’t back out now.”

“If we have to, let’s just make a down payment for now. It’s not necessary to pay the full amount

upfront,” Belinda suggested.

Ritchie disagreed, “No, I’ve already told Emma that we’d be paying in full. If we change to a mortgage

now, she’ll look down on me.”

Belinda sighed, “Zack’s family is holding a grudge against us because of Avery’s illness. They won’t

help you.”

Perla spat on the ground and said, “When it comes to continuing the Hawthorne lineage, it will have to

depend on Ritchie. Can we rely on Avery, that weakling? The ancestral house should rightfully belong

to Ritchie.”

Belinda heaved another sigh and said, “When we were building the house, you didn’t want to spend

money. If you had been willing to shell out more, the first–floor shop wouldn’t have been owned by

Zack’s family.”

Ritchie laughed evilly, “I have a plan.” Then he shared his idea.

Hearing this, Perla didn’t hesitate, slapping her thigh, and she agreed, “Okay, let’s do it this way.”

After leaving the restaurant, Aurelia took Jolin and Jelena to eat fish in another restaurant.

Jolin was furious and said, “Ritchie is getting worse. If his parents continue to spoil him like this, there’s

bound to be trouble.”

Jelena sneered, “He’s just a bully at home and a coward outside.”

Aurelia had a bad feeling in her heart, worrying that he might do something drastic to raise money.

Just then, her phone rang. It was a WhatsApp message from Arnold, “Aurelia, are you feeling good

today? I’m at a canyon right now.”

He sent over a few photos.

Aurelia was happy to see those photos, “The scenery is breathtaking. I wish I could see it with my own

eyes someday.”

He said, “How about I take you on a tour around the world next summer?”

Aurelia lowered her head, a hint of confusion showing from her face.

She slowly replied, “Good idea.”

She would love to go with him, but first, she needed to get a divorce.

Just thinking about Leopold’s domineering and cold face made her shiver.

Jelena glanced at her and giggled, “Arnold texted you. When is he coming back?”

“He should be back next week,” Aurelia said, trying to smile.

Jelena covered her mouth and teased, “Absence makes the heart grow fonder. When he comes back,

you two will surely have some romantic times.”

Aurelia served Jelena some fish, quickly changing the subject, “Enough about me. How are you

doing?”

Jelena revealed a mysterious smile, “If you can handle Arnold, I can definitely handle that guy.”

Jolin, sitting across them, quickly asked, “Jelena, you have a boyfriend? When will you bring him home

for dinner?”

Jelena made a face, “We’re just friends for now.”

Jolin laughed, “You young people, once you start dating, it’s like a rocket launch. Just a while ago,

Aurelia was telling me she and Arnold were just friends, and now, she’s about to have his baby.”

Jelena burst out laughing and patted Aurelia’s belly, “You’re really something, getting pregnant with

twins.”

Aurelia sighed inwardly. To Leopold, this was probably her only advantage for Leopold.
