NovelEnglishAurelia furrowed her brow and turned to Lisa, "Think hard, Lisa. Was the guy you saw skinnier than Skyler?" Lisa pondered for a moment, "I guess so, but he was wearing this bulky down jacket, so it was tough to make out his frame." Aurelia was certain it was deliberate. The oversized clothes were a ploy to mask his true build.
Leopold immediately coordinated a sweeping search with the park security, but there was no sign of Geoffrey. He seemed to have vanished into thin air.

Could it be that Skyler indeed had an identical twin brother? And who was this impostor with the bloodline of the Stirling family? Lisa was shaken up, so the nanny escorted her back to her room to rest.
In another room, the kids were discussing Geoffrey.
"Uncle Skyler," William puffed up his cheeks, hands on his hips, "Your brother is wicked. We've got to catch him." Skyler nodded in agreement. He couldn't fathom why Geoffrey would want to harm Angel. Was he a devil in disguise? Only a devil would want to harm an angel.
Right then, Skyler's phone buzzed.
It was a text from Geoffrey. [Surprise, Skyler! How's this for a Christmas gift? Merry Christmas.] Skyler was livid. He texted back, [You're nothing but a villain. | must've been cursed to have a brother like you. Angel never wronged you. Why do you keep trying to hurt her?] [Because everyone adores her, especially Leopold. We're brothers and supposed to share joys and sorrows. I'm not happy, not at all. So why should you be? If Aurelia were gone, none of my brothers would be happy. You'd all share in my misery. Wouldn't that be wonderful?] Skyler was beside himself with anger. He never encountered such malevolence.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHow could Skyler, such a kind and lovable kid, have such a cruel brother? [If you dare hurt Angel again, I'll fight you to the end. No, we all will. Arnold, Leopold, and | are no pushovers. You can't beat us alone.] [You're a traitor, an imbecile, biting the hand that feeds. They're all sons of other women. Only you and | are true brothers, sharing both parents. You should be siding with me. Instead, you consort with strangers and oppose your brother. Are you betraying Tanya, your biological mother?] Skyler knew in his heart who truly cared for him.
He replied, [You and Tanya treatlike a pawn for your ambitions. Do you want to lead the Stirling family? Forget it. You're nowhere near Leopold's league. All you have are your schemes, but running a company takes wisdom, and only Leopold has that.
He's a titan of industry, even Wall Street fears him. Do you understand finance? The stock market? | don't, and neither do you.] Geoffrey was seething. He wouldn't allow anyone to assert Leopold was better. Geoffrey himself was the rightful heir of the Stirling family, the strongest of them all.
[You're just puffing up others and diminishing yourself. | lack nothing as the mightiest people of the Stirling family. Leopold isn't fit to shine my shoes. The outstanding talents should recognize current trends. If you want a rosy future, you'll follow me. Otherwise, when | take over the Stirling family, don't expect to stay in Elysium.]
