The Queen They Buried

“What’re you watching?” In a classroom at Rithol High School, Matilda leaned over to peek at Aubree’s phone and asked.

The live footage on the screen made her gasp. ‘Isn’t that Carmen?‘ she thought.

Aubree smirked and said, “Vincent is sharing with me a live feed of Carmen’s current situation.”

Carmen barely walked out of the hotel before the crowd surrounded her. Her assistant stepped forward, attempting to pacify them, but to no avail. Then, out of nowhere, someone picked up a stone and threw it at her.

In an instant, as if inspired, the crowd began throwing whatever they could grab, and a barrage of objects fell mercilessly. Carmen scrambled for cover, clutching her head, and frantically dodging under the protection of her bodyguards.

The crowd was massive, but the Wilson family’s bodyguards were not pushovers. With the help of hotel security and staff, they finally brought the situation under control.

Carmen tidied up her appearance and thought to herself, ‘Everything will be fine as long as I shift the blame to Aubree. I’ve bribed the Mansell family, so the timing is just perfect.‘

She gave her assistant a meaningful glance, signaling him to usher Nigel’s parents out of the private room, and turned to face the press.

“I’m truly heartbroken by what has happened. However, our investigation has uncovered some new developments. I’ve arranged to meet with Nigel’s parents here today. Why don’t we invite them out to address your questions?” Carmen said.
