In the hospital ward, Aubree frowned, visibly troubled. Seeing this, Bowen was intrigued. “Rare to see you have something to worry about.”

Aubree lay comfortably on the hospital bed, openly accepting Bowen’s attentive care. “Sophia’s death was unexpected. She was a critical piece in my plan. Originally, with Kate’s help, it would’ve been easy to expose Trevor’s affair.”

“Even if Kate steps forward, the effect won’t be as strong. Trevor could still make a comeback after some time.”

She added, “At most, it’ll just damage his image a bit, but the entertainment industry is a place with a short memory. As long as the Wilson family stands, with their money and his acting skills, he’ll return to the top eventually.”

“Who says making someone suffer must be about reputation or profit?” Bowen smiled slyly, clearly having come up with another sinister idea.

Aubree looked over at him, her eyes wide with curiosity, silently urging him to continue.

Bowen’s heart softened under her gaze. He said gently, “Attack the heart. Trevor was willing to cut ties with Sophia for Kate. That shows Kate means something to him. If his lover, his friends, his family all turn away from him… Do you think he won’t break down?”

He added, “As far as I know, his agent, Skyler, has already written a resignation letter. He just hasn’t sent it yet.”

Bowen smiled. “Bree, don’t forget. You once helped him. Trevor is stupid enough to mistake the wrong person. It’s time you set the record straight and let him know who truly cared about him.”

Aubree’s eyes lit up. Trevor, proud and arrogant, had seen too much deceit and betrayal growing up. Deep down, he longed for pure, sincere emotional connections. Be it friendship or family, he craved true bonds.

Ironically, he never offered any sincerity himself, yet expected it from others.

But there really had been a fool in the past who gave him exactly that.
