The Queen They Buried

Chapter 330

Carmen stood frozen in place, her cheek still burning from the stinging slap. Her eyes glinted with malice, and her features twisted in fury. If she didn’t need Aubree’s help, she couldn’t possibly have let Aubree humiliate her like this.

Those students were tight–lipped. Even though they failed, they didn’t say who put them up to it. They just said they had a grudge against Aubree and wanted to teach her a lesson.

Since Aubree hadn’t suffered any actual physical harm, Rithol University downplayed the incident, merely requiring the students involved to submit a written reflection, and the matter was quietly put to rest.

The incident itself wasn’t a big deal, but with Aubree’s name attached, it still spread like wildfire.
