The Queen They Buried

Chapter 236

Elizabeth had never seen anything wrong with how Bowen introduced her in the past. She used to take pride in being acknowledged as his business partner, the woman who stood closest to him in both professional and personal circles.

Aubree’s appearance made Elizabeth realize what true intimacy meant to Bowen. The business partner she used to take pride in was nothing more than a business associate.

Elizabeth straightened up slightly and took a good look at Aubree. ‘She’s young, undeniably pretty, neatly dressed, still in a school uniform. She’s the kind of student both parents and teachers like, ‘ she thought.

She remained calm, wearing a polite smile and speaking in a friendly tone, “I’m Elizabeth. Nice to meet you.”

Aubree’s eyes flickered. A silent battle began to brew. ‘So, Elizabeth finally sees me as a real rival now?’ she thought.

“Aubree,” she replied politely, not even glancing at Ronald standing by the side.

Ronald was fuming. ‘Are you blind? Can’t you see I’m right here? You don’t even say hello?’ he thought.

Ronald was seething inside, itching to put Aubree in her place right then and there. But on the surface, he still wore a smile, revealing nothing.

His eyes shifted slightly, landing on Bowen. ‘Aren’t you just riding on Bowen’s backing? Let’s see how long you can act smug when Bowen stops caring about you,’ he thought.
