The Queen They Buried

It was a day off today.

Aubree rubbed her temples and got up from bed. It wasn’t until her phone calendar alert reminded her that she remembered. It was her birthday today.

With Playzy’s launch these past few days and her schoolwork piling up, she’d been running like a spinning top. She’d completely forgotten about her birthday.

Aubree had never expected much from birthdays. Back at the orphanage, birthdays were a luxury no one dared to hope for Later, after returning to the Wilson family, every birthday was celebrated with Carmen. Carmen was the star of the show, and Aubree was nothing,

It didn’t matter to Aubree. No one cared anyway.

With a self–mocking smile, Aubree got up to wash up, planning to review Odionlandian in the morning and then visit the club.

The annual finals were about to start next week. If they could take the championship again, God’s Fury would officially enter the public eye.

Around noon, Aubree went to the club. At that time, everyone was just waking up one after another.

She looked around and didn’t see Alvin or Matilda.

Feeling puzzled, Aubree happened to see Leroy coming downstairs. “Alvin and Matilda didn’t come?”

Seeing it was her, Leroy looked flustered for a second, then quickly composed himself and looked around evasively. “Not sure. Maybe they had something to do.”

Aubree narrowed her eyes. She thought they had something to hide from her.

Unable to guess what they might be up to, she didn’t press further. “Got it/I came to check on your training progress.”

Once it came to business, Leroy looked confident. “Don’t worry. We’ll definitely bring you back a trophy. The new mid–laner is strong. We’re syncing up

“Don’t forget to chill the champagne early.” Seeing everyone in good form, Aubree gave the new mid–laner some pointers on finer techniques and then

Compared to Aubree’s usual routine, today was an extremely different day for the Wilson family.
