The Queen They Buried

Chapter 489

In his mind, the whole mess between Aubree and the Wilson family happened because of Carmen/ He felt that Aubree was jealous that everyone in the family loved Carmen and ignored her. If she hated anyone, it was definitely Carmen

Worst case, he could just toss Carmen to Aubree and let her deal with her however she wanted.

After all, Carmen was just an adopted daughter. He’d given her a good life for over ten years, so Ronald felt that it was about time for Carment to pay him back.

He’d actually thought about using Carmen as a peace offering to Aubree before, but Carmen had talked him out of it, saying she could win over Alvin instead.

That was the only reason he held off. If she hadn’t been doing well with her recent projects and finally gotten a bit closer to Alvin, he would’ve sacrificed her without a second thought.

Carmen didn’t feel the same sense of crisis as Bryan. All she could think about was how furious she was at Aubree for ruining her plans and making her lose face in front of Ronald.

Bryan left the study with a grim look, his steps quick as he headed straight for his room. The moment he got inside, he called Elizabeth.
