The Queen They Buried

Chapter 414

“I’m so pissed off! She doesn’t know what’s good for her,” Ernesto cursed, his anger boiling over.

“Ernesto, is this about Aubree?” Stuart Diamonde, Alice’s younger brother and the third child in the Diamonde family, asked as he lounged with his legs crossed.

Phoenyra Jewelry, the Diamonde family business, was mainly inherited by Ernesto, while Stuart and Alice each held a stake. Stuart wasn’t interested in the company; he preferred trading stones and ran his own natural stone business.

Sometimes, when he came across top–quality stones, he’d bring them home as a favor, gifting them to some big shots on behalf of the family.

Just the mention of Aubree’s name made Ernesto’s blood pressure spike. “She’s really a tough nut to crack.”

Not only was she tough, but Aubree even managed to land a partnership with Windward Group. With Windward Group, and Manchotech joining forces, even with Ernesto’s reputation, it was not easy to find anyone willing to help him mess with her.

“I’ve said it before, you need to keep someone obedient close by. Looks like we were right to treat her the way we did from the start. As for Carmen, since we raised her from childhood, being good to her might make Alice easier to handle,” Stuart said.

“Speaking of that, Alice has been acting weird lately. Word from Rithol City is, she’s got her eye on some guy.”
