The Queen They Buried

Chapter 474

Bryan and Alice slunk away from the police station in defeat.

While Bowen’s intervention had been within their expectations, the sudden appearance of the national research institute’s personnel had completely blindsided them.

“Thank god this was officially spearheaded by the Lawsons. No one can trace it back to us, or we’d be in real trouble,” Bryan muttered as their car pulled up to the Wilson estate.

Alice gritted her teeth. “Aubree is really something else.”

Bryan let out a sigh, his eyes full of complicated emotions. Who could’ve imagined that the poor girl everyone in the Wilson family used to trample on would turn into someone nobody dares to mess with now?

Bryan rubbed his temples. Their troubles weren’t over. They’d failed to bring Aubree back.
