The Queen They Buried

Emery wanted to leave, but of course Ronald would never allow it. Anger aside, he still had to talk him into staying

Ronald looked at Emery and said, “Come on, wasn’t all this just about getting Aubree back?

“Aubree also started her club. Her club is still quite new, and the only notable achievement they have is League of Legends. Apex Squad just hit a snag with their most profitable League of Legends division. Wouldn’t merging the two be the perfect complementary solution?”

Ronald continued, “You think she’d refuse? Relax. Last time Bryan and I went to see her, she was already softening her stance. This time, we’re giving her the entire Apex Squad as an apology gift–what’s not to like? Her club would call the shots, with full investment from the Wilson Group backing it

Ronald played his cards right. Emery’s reluctance to keep managing the club was all about Aubree. So he’d use her as leverage to persuade Emery

Last time, when Aubree demanded all the shares of the Wilson Group, it was clear she had her own agenda. Now that he was handing her the entire Apex Squad on a silver platter, he was sure she wouldn’t be even slightly tempted.

Both clubs had their strengths and weaknesses, and since they were both under the Wilson umbrella, who managed them was irrelevant–as long as the Wilson family profited in the end.

Little did Ronald know, however, that when Aubree had made that demand last time, she was perfectly aware he would never actually agree to it.

If the Wilson family really lost their minds and handed her the shares, of course, Aubree would be thrilled. Once she got them, she’d kick the whole damn family out onto the streets, leaving them utterly destitute.
