The Queen They Buried

Chapter 248

‘If only I had brought her back and treated her well from the beginning, how proud and elated would I be now? My daughter, barely eighteen, already owns such a thriving empire and has even captivated Bowen’s attention.

Ronald felt his heart bleed. Of all his children, the most talented and brilliant was his youngest daughter, Aubree, the very one who had turned against him and now wished him dead!

Just thinking about it made Ronald feel like coughing up blood from sheer regret. In the past, he had always favored Carmen. Even if he had moments of guilt, he could still comfort himself by thinking Aubree was simply immature and unworthy.

But now, with Carmen’s identity in question, everything he had done was no longer a form of self-consolation but one resounding slap after another, all coming back at this very moment to hit him square in the face.

Now that Ronald knows everything, truths and lies alike. Why don’t you sign the papers? It doesn’t matter if it’s you or Ronald who signs; the outcome’s the same.”

Aubree wore a cheerful smile on her face, while in stark contrast, Alice’s expression was as lifeless as could be.
