The Queen They Buried

“What am I supposed to do?‘ Carmen thought, panic rising in her chest.

Back at the Wison family mansion, Carmen paced anxiously in the living room. She deeply regretted throwing a tantrum at Bryan earlier, Don wasn’t picking up, her parents were away, and Bryan clearly had no intention of helping her.

Carmen unlocked her phone, her screen instantly flooded with waves of online hatred.

To make matters worse, someone dug up that she’d stolen Aubree’s admission spot at fithol Art School

Carmen thought, ‘Heel ke I’m going crazy. All my life, I’ve been pampered and praise. Never have been attacked and cursed at like this before

“What’s troubling our Wilson family’s little princess? Trevor materialized by the staircase, leaning casually against the banister. His devilishly handsome face, hailed by countless fans as God’s Fury’s masterpiece, watched her with a teasing smile

Carmen flinched instinctively. She made a point of avoiding Trevor whenever possible, he was the one she feared most in the family.

Whenever Carmen was around Trevor, she always felt completely exposed, as if he could see right through her. No matter what she did, he’d watch her with that infuriating look of fake admiration, as if to say, “You’re so clever.” Sometimes, he’d even go out of his way to egg her on or stir things up for her

Carmen bit her lower lip. She thought anxiously, Right now, Trevor is my only hope. He knows all the tricks when it comes to online PR if he’s willing to help, this ghostwriting scandal could probably be swept under the rug.”

“Trevor, I’m in some trouble. Can you help me?” Carmen titted her head up, deliberately exposing the delicate curve of her neck. Her eyes gistened with unshed tears as she put on her most vulnerable display, hoping this pitiful act would move him.

Trevor let out a soft chuckle as he strolled down the stairs. Reaching out, he gently tucked Carmen’s messy hair behind her ear. “Of course I’ll help you.” he said lightly, “You’re my favorite little sister, after all

Carmen’s body gave an involuntary shudder as relief washed over her. At least Trevor is willing to help, she thought.

“But…” Trevor suddenly shifted his tone, his face clouding with feigned concern. “You know how it is, Carmen, as a public figure, I have to be careful about getting directly involved.” He flashed a reassuring smile. “But don’t worry, I’ll think of a way to help you.”

Carmen’s eyes widened in confusion “What on earth does Trevor mean? she wondered, completely baffled

His refined, handsome face broke into an amused smirk as he spoke in a velvet, seductive voice, “Aubree may be tough to handle now, but the people close to her aren’t nearly as capable. If we dig up some dirt on her inner circle and spin it right, people will think they’re all birds of a feather, just as bad as she is.”

Trevor’s words sent Carmen’s mind racing, instantly conjuring up several people who would be easier targets

“But Trevor…”

Carmen stammered, her eyes flickering with uncertainty as she gated up at him timidly. “I don’t think Lean…

Trevor placed a gentle finger against her lips, his smile the kind that could make thousands of fans swoon, “How could our little princess ever be alone?” he teased. “While I can’t help you directly, I’ve already told Mom about everything that’s been going on. She should be rushing back any minute now.
