“So eager to have me return to the Wilson family, are you?” Aubree casually took a seat.

In stark contrast to their former domineering attitude, Ronald and Bryan, who once lorded over her now stood before her, their faces wearing carefully feigned pleading expressions.

While Ronald was still mulling over her words, Bryan was already lighting up with excitement. “Bree, you’re really willing to come back with us?” he exclaimed.

“Of course. It’s just going home-why wouldn’t I?” Aubree met his gaze, a knowing smile playing on her lips.

Bryan was so overwhelmed by this unexpected joy that he could barely think straight. ‘Wait? Is this real? She’s actually willing to return to the Wilson family? She’s really going to forgive me?’ he wondered.

Bryan’s eyes gleamed with intense excitement. Before he could offer any more sweet promises, Aubree spoke up again.

“Hand over every single share of the Wilson Group you own, and I’ll come back. How about it? Haven’t you been begging me to return? Not a bad deal for you, is it?” A sly smile played on Aubree’s lips-she knew better than anyone that the Wilson family would have to be out of their minds to ever agree to her terms.
