The Queen They Buried

Chapter 479

Daxton Wilson realized how silly his words sounded. He opened his mouth to say something, then just closed it again. He didn’t have much going on today, so he’d just come along with Carmen for her speech.

Of course, that was just secondary. The main reason he was here was to keep certain people from giving Carmen a hard time, such as Aubree.

With the new semester starting, there was no guarantee Carmen wouldn’t run into Aubree. And sure enough, he ran into her.

“Why are you here listening to the speech? Are you here to mess with Carmen or something?” Daxton demanded.

Aubree retorted, “Physicians can’t heal themselves, but that doesn’t mean they should pretend nothing’s wrong.

“Daxton, if you’ve got a hole in your head, go get it checked out. I’m a student here. Of course, I can attend any speech I want. And seriously, what about Carmen is even worth my time to target?”

Even if it were Ronald standing there, he would still be polite to Aubree, no matter what grudges they had.

Aubree would not bother keeping tabs on someone so insignificant. All she wanted was to watch Carmen take a brutal fall from grace and stay buried in the mud for good.

People were starting to notice their argument.

Daxton’s face turned stormy. Ignoring Aubree’s protests, he grabbed her and dragged her off to somewhere more secluded.

The commotion caught Carmen’s attention. ‘Wait, Aubree and Daxton?‘ she thought, and picked up the pace with her speech.
