The Queen They Buried

Chapter 386

“Ronald, Alice, try this.” Sophia said, looking especially pleased with herself.

She was probably the most smug person at the whole table.

She put on a bright smile and cheerfully picked up food for the two sitting at the head of the table. Trevor’s expression was sour. With the media watching, he had to put on a show of taking great care of Sophia in public.

In private, he still couldn’t do anything to her, or she’d just cry and he’d be swarmed by netizens.

Carmen sat next to Daxton, her eyes wandering around the room. No one could tell what she was thinking.

Daxton seemed completely unfazed, just quietly eating his meal.

Every so often, he would serve Carmen some of her favorite dishes. “Just focus on eating,” he told her.

“Okay, Daxton,” Carmen said, lifting her plate, her eyes flashing with a calculating light.

Sophia was basically a walking time bomb. Anyone who messed with her would get dogpiled by everyone.

Carmen could more or less guess that all of this was Aubree’s scheme targeting Trevor. Trevor wasn’t really on anyone’s side. He just hated Aubree more than he disliked Carmen.
