The Queen They Buried

Chapter 208

Bryan was going all out to suppress negative press, while exhausting every possible means to track down the Berry family.

Even with Bryan’s efforts, the annual meeting scandal was too massive for one man to contain. Ronald stepped in personally to oversee damage control.

Of course, Emery faced harsh reprimands.

But to little avail.

The leaked footage was just the beginning. With Aubree fanning the flames, the story exploded online: Rosepoly killed a man, bribed the family, and left the poor victim’s family no choice but to travel all the way to Rithol City seeking justice.

Bryan, having been burned before, didn’t dare to make any promises this time. He stated that the matter was still under investigation and that the public would be promptly notified once results were available.

Behind the scenes, they scrambled to uncover what else Aubree had besides the Berry family’s testimony.

If she had no more evidence, they’d dismiss it as lies.If she did, they’d find a scapegoat.

The goal was to minimize the damage.

“Any updates?” Aubree asked, dressed in loungewear with study materials at hand, as Vincent briefed her on the latest developments over the phone.

“Miss Miller, Rosepoly’s in chaos. Reporters from all the major outlets are clamoring for the latest scoop, but everyone at Rosepoly Group is staying tight-lipped and refusing all interviews. For the past few days, the Wilsons are using back exits with bodyguards to dodge reporters.”

Vincent reported, “Also, Rosepoly Group’s stock price is taking a hit right now.”

Aubree understood. “If they won’t talk, someone else will. Send our reporters to interview Anthony.”

The moment chaos erupted at Rosepoly Group’s annual meeting, Anthony knew Aubree was behind it.

‘So she’d been planning this all along, Anthony realized. ‘She must have already brought that deceased worker’s family to Rithol City long ago. The Wilson family really underestimated their own flesh and blood.’

Anthony was leisurely sipping coffee in his living room when a knock came at the door. His wife went to answer it.

“Mrs. Carr? Hello, we’re reporters. We’d like to interview Anthony about the fatal fall accident at Rosepoly Group’s worksite.”

Eliza stood frozen at her doorstep, bewildered by the swarm of reporters outside. ‘This can’t be just one media outlet,’ she thought.
