The Queen They Buried

Chapter 49 Chapter 49 Althe Wilson Group.

Bryan rubbed his temples in frustration. The deal with Harding had been snatched by competitors, making this quarter's financial report look domal Flipping through the documents submitted by his sinpedomate, firyan felt relieved. At least it was only the new project that had issues. Ferything els seemed fine.

Bryan tapped his fingers rhythmically on the desk as he pondered, if it really cdown to an all out war, even the Turner Group wouldn't i unscathed. Since Bowen hade made any other moves elsewhere, Harding's deal was clearly just a warning shot.

The assistant knocked and entered, reporting, “Mr. Wilson, I've completed the task you assigned. Everything at Pithol Art School has been arranged, and the person has already been sent abroad as planned.

"However, I'm not sure if we should make it public now, so I wanted to check with you first” He slid the tablet across the desk to Bryan.

oat for her.

To cover up Carmen's plaganism scandal, Bryan arranged a scapegoat! Just like in her previous life, when the Wilson family pushed Aubree out as a scapegoat for Carmen's plagiarism.

This time, Bryan targeted one of Carmen's sidekicks at Rithol Art School, someone eager to curry favor with the Wilson family, since Carmen had never hidden her identity after enrolling.

Bryan promised to sponsor that girl's overseas education, with all expenses covered by the Wilson family, a tempting offer she couldn't refuse. Her job was to publicly claim she was close to Carmen and, in order to ingratiate herself with the Wilson family, had tampered with Carmen's art assignment without Carmen's knowledge.

Once this story was out, whether people believed it or not, at least the Wilson family would save face. With a bit of clever PR. Carmen could cforwar with a tearful apology and voluntarily withdraw from Rithol, transforming from a shameless plagiarist into an unwitting victim, The public would take pity on Carmen for being forced to quit school because of someone else's mistake. Bryan frowned and think, 'Did they really need to botherwith something so trivial?" He took the tablet and saw a video of the incident at the school What is Mother up to now?" he thought, exasperated The assistant carefully observed Bryan's expression and cautiously said, "Sir, ever since Mrs. Wilson made a scene at Aubree's school this morning there's been a surge of new speculation online, especially because, in the video, Aubree claims that many of Carmen's competition pieces were actually ghostwritten by her, With Carmen just exposed for hiring a ghostwriter, there's already a heated discussion about it online, we release our statement now.public opinion would likely turn against Aubree" In the past, the assistant always knew exactly what to do. When it cto Carmen and Aubree, But now, the assistant wasn't so sure anymore.

the boss's preference was clear-cut Bryan smiled bitterly. If he made a move, Trevor would surely step in, too. With hundreds of millions of devoted fans, once Trevor publicly took a stand, his fanbase would becan unstoppable force Then, Aubree would truly be trapped in an inescapable predicament.

"Should Trelease it?" Bryan thought.

if he didn't, it wouldn't sit well with his mother, and both the company and the family's reputation would suffer. But if he did, Aubree would bear the brunt.

1/3 Chapter 49 Even as he weighed his This options, Bryan already knew the answer in his heart.

"Release it" he said. He'd find other ways to make it up to Aubree Bryan's voice was rough as he said, “I remember that necklace we acquired at the auction, it's still here, right? Have it packaged forJust as Bryan had anticipated, as soon as his assistant contacted the influencer accounts, Trevor's stuimmediately released an official statement As the youngest one to already circulating to have won the Best Actor Award, Trevor's influence online was overwhelming, especially by now th that the so-called "evidence" was A person wrote online: This keeps getting juicier, now even Carmen has weighed in.] Another asked: So what's really going on? Is the Wilson family mistreating Aubree, or is Aubree falsely accusing Carmen?| A third person said: I trust my Trevor! Carmen, we've got your back!] Someone else said: Even her own mother and brother are presenting solid evidence against Aubree. The truth is obvious] No one would believe Aubree was innocent if her own blood relatives chose to side with the adopted daughter.

At a café in Golden Industrial Park, Aubree finalized the details of the leased space with the manager and signed her non the contract.

Tucking away the signed contract, the manager showed not the slightest underestimation toward the young woman before him. She had achieved in less than a month what many of her peers might never accomplish in their entire careers.

She then went on to beca club owner herself.

As for the online , it was none of nager's business The client was the most important is He said, "Miss Miller, since the contract is signed and there are no other issues, I'll take my leave now." "Thank you for your help." Aubree responded with a polite unile:{{{ After seeing the manager out. Aubree glanced down at her silenced phone as another unknown-call flashed on the screen.

This time, she didn't hang up "Hello?" Aubree answered, her voice calm.

"See that Aubree? This is what happens when you disobey me!" The call cfrom Alice, her voice dripping with smug satisfaction Aubree set aude her phone and searched for updates. She thought. So much for their supposed brilliance, just the sold scapegoat routine.

Who knows these tricks better than I do in my previous life, I lost count of how many times I was made Carmen's sacrificial Hamb.

So when I decided to expose Carmen as unworthy of her role, it was no surprise that the Wilson family would pull the cpredictable move "So is this what I get for having a thriving life?" Aubree smirked, amusement flickering across her lips She glanced at the freshly signed contract. Starting her own club, developing software, and founding a company were things she'd never dared dream of in her previous life, but this time, she achieved them all.

Alice never expected Aubree to react like this. Aubree had been kicked out of school, and public opinion online was clearly on Carmen's side. She felt that Aubree should be sobbing her eyes out and begging her to let her off the hook by now 2/3 Chapter 49 "Mom, what did Aubree say?" Carmen stood right next to Alice, fidgeting like she was on hot coals. Seeing her mother stay silent made her even more She'd already been kicked out of Bithol Art School, though she hadn't even set foot (on campus yet. At this point, all she could do was attention to Aubree. Otherwise, she'd becthe laughingstock, Carmen thought fiercely. That can't happen! "It's all Aubree's fault! She just has to compete with me. Even after leaving the Wilson family, she can't stay out of trouble, always playing the victim card to win my brothers' sympathy A barely noticeable smirk flickered across her lips. As long as Bryan and the others saw Aubree for who she really was, things would go back to the way they used to be.

"Once this blows over, who'll ever remember the ghostwriting scandal? They'll just say Aubree setup out of spite, Carmen thought, her planking shape.

Carmen urged Alice, eager to know if Aubree was truly in dire straits. Alice, however, mistook her urgency for genuine concem about Aubree predicament

Her eyes softened with maternal warmth, but then her angersurged. "Fine! if you're defiant, Net's going to be this m what tricks you have lett. Even if you end up begging on your knees at my doorstep, I still won't let you set foot in this house again!"

Aubree held the phone away from her ear and rubbed it. "Just a friendly reminder, Mrs. Wilson getting angry aft all the twill give you wrinkles," she said with a smirk, “Just make sure you're not the one beggingto cback later." With a click, the call ended. Alice's face twisted in fury as she hurled her phone to the ground, shattering it into pieces.

"That ungrateful brat!" Alice fumed. "How dare she even imagine I'd beg her to cback? Was she out of her mind?" Carmen raised her voice, frustration clear. "Mom! Weren't we supposed to coax Aubree back?" Now that Aubree was getting out of control, Carmen couldn't relax unless she had her where she could see her, Still fuming, ice didn't notice Carmen's odd reaction. She snapped, "Carmen, from now on, whatever happens to her is no concern of our family. I know you're kind-hearted, but someone like her doesn't deserve our concern Seeing Alice's story expression, Carmen swallowed the rest of her words AD Comment Send gift No Ads
