Chapter 115
“The new product line we’re launching is called ‘Destiny‘. For the advertisement, we need two actors. I
don’t want A–list Hollywood stars; I fancy the indie route. For the male lead, I’m thinking…”
She paused, glancing at Arnold.
He chuckled, “You’re thinking Avery, aren’t you?”
“Uh–huh,” she shot him a sly smile, “Why let outsiders take our benefits?”
“For the female lead, I’ll leave that to you. You have an eye for talent; I’m sure you’ll pick the perfect
one.”
“Sure, leave it to me,” he nodded with a smile.
Just then, his WhatsApp pinged.
There was a message from a friend in a group chat: [Evelyn is holding a memorial for her sister at
Azure Skies Villa.]
A video was uploaded shortly after.
A fleeting shadow passed over his eyes, and he showed Aurelia the message. “Want to watch the
video? Bit of a drama unfolding, it seems.” Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
“Sure.” Without a second’s hesitation, Aurelia nodded and moved to sit next to him.
Everyone loves a bit of gossip, and she was certain Leopold would be there.
Arnold played the video.
Azure Skies Villa was where Megan lived before her passing. Her friends were there, along with a
group from Astral Enterprises Design Department.
Aurelia quickly spotted them but Leopold was nowhere to be seen.
Sensing her disappointment, Arnold murmured, “Your boss probably isn’t there.”
“Ah,” she stuck out her tongue.
At a time like this, he would probably prefer to remember Megan in private.
Evelyn wore a long white dress, adorned with tiny diamonds, making it look like a starry night sky. Her
hair was dyed brown and styled in a vintage updo, reminiscent of Audrey Hepburn. She looked
breathtakingly beautiful.
Arnold stroked his chin, his gaze intensifying. “She’s wearing the dress Megan wore on her last
birthday. That star–studded gown was designed by Leopold himself.”
Aurelia raised an eyebrow. Leopold must have adored Megan with all his heart.
As the saying goes, you never forget your first love.
A bitter taste filled her mouth, likely from the lemonade she was sipping on.
The video then panned to a large screen displaying photos of Megan.
F
Aurelia finally saw what she looked like.
She looked similar to Evelyn, but her features were even more delicate, almost ethereal.
No wonder Leopold was so smitten with her!
Evelyn lit a candle and placed it on a long table filled with black tulips.
“Even though Leo couldn’t make it, he sent 999 black tulips for you. You were his one true love, he’ll
never love anyone else.”
Evelyn gently touched Megan’s portrait. “People always said we looked like twins. Leo mentioned once
that seeing me often reminded him of you. From now on, I’ll stand by his side on your behalf. I’ll fulfill
the dreams you couldn’t.”
Aurelia took a deep breath. Megan’s dream was to marry Leopold, right?
Could it be that Evelyn didn’t just return to take the director’s position, but also to become Mrs. CEO?
By holding this memorial, she was openly challenging Elowen.
Taking a sip of her drink, she fell into deep thought.
It seemed like the war between the two women was escalating.
Elowen wouldn’t take this lying down.
Arnold shot her a deep, meaningful look. “Evelyn has always loved Leopold, but she just never had a
chance with Megan around. Given a choice, Leopold would definitely choose Evelyn over Elowen.”
“Does he actually have a choice?”
This was the question Aurelia was most concerned about.
