The Queen They Buried

Chapter 74

That morning, Ronald got up very early.

He had already made it known that Bryan was being removed from his position as chairman. Being someone whose pride and reputation were paramount, Ronald would go back on his word. He got up early to go to the company.

Daxton was also up early, seemingly waiting for Ronald. He stood by the staircase, blocking his way. “Dad, I heard you’ve been pretty interested in that Playzy platform Aubree developed.”

“Why are you asking? Don’t you usually only care about your experiment data?” Ronald adjusted his tie and shot him a sideways glance.

Daxton replied, “Family matters are important. A friend in this field found out that Aubree is my sister and shared this report. Dad, want to see it?”

Suspicious, Ronald took the envelope, opened it, and started reading. As he read, his expression shifted from delight to worry.

He asked, “Is what’s in here true?”

“Of course!” Daxton replied confidently.

This wasn’t from any so–called friend. After finding out that Aubree was behind Playzy, he had specifically hired professionals to dig this up.

Playzy had been riding high in the spotlight, but with so many streamers on the platform, it was impossible to regulate them all or ensure they had proper ethics.

The report highlighted some incidents of streamers guiding minors to spend excessively. The issue hadn’t exploded yet, but it was a ticking time bomb.

If they used this to stir things up, Aubree would be in serious trouble.

Daxton said, “Dad, no matter what, she’s a Wilson. She’s young, inexperienced, and not managing the platform well. If something serious happens, won’t

you, as her father, still have to step in and help?”

What he said matched up exactly with what Ronald had been thinking.

“But…” Ronald hesitated.

He frowned. He wanted Aubree to fall, but he didn’t want Playzy to suffer. If this scandal came to light and wasn’t handled well, the damage to Playzy

would be hard to recover from.

In his mind, both Playzy and Bree Technology already belonged to him. Any loss was his loss.

Ronald said, “This can’t be leaked for now.”
