The Queen They Buried

Chapter 331

Before long, the day of Carmen’s solo exhibition arrived.

With the Wilson family’s publicity efforts and the prestige of her mentor, Percival, the top master of traditional painting in Lumanon, her solo exhibition turned out to be quite the event.

Many industry leaders and media outlets showed up out of respect, but inevitably, some denounced Carmen for her past plagiarism scandals.

Aubree had agreed to come, but punctuality was never her style. She took her sweet time enjoying a leisurely lunch before strolling to the exhibition at her own pace. In stark contrast, Carmen had specifically stationed herself at the entrance, waiting for her arrival.

On such an important day, the Wilson family naturally showed up in full force to show their support for Carmen. With Aubree personally promising to attend, every single family member was present.

Carmen hurried forward to greet her. “Aubree, you finally made it.”

Aubree smoothly sidestepped Carmen’s outstretched hand. “Quite the fanfare for me, huh?”

Aubree’s gaze swept over the Wilson family, her sarcastic tone making Ronald turn beet red. Back when Aubree was still with the Wilson family, he’d always brushed off her matters, even though she was his daughter. Sometimes he couldn’t even be bothered to send his secretary.
