The Queen They Buried

Meanwhile, at the hospital.

“You nearly gave me a heart attack!” Birgitte finally let out a sigh of relief as she looked at Aubree lying on the hospital bed, leisurely eating grapes.

Aubree couldn’t help but laugh. Ever since her car accident, her phone had almost exploded from all the calls. But to keep Trevor from finding out she was alive and well, she had only informed Vincent and Birgitte.

She didn’t expect Birgitte would insist on coming all to Rithol City just to see her.

Aubree said, “I already told you I’m fine. If you’d come any later, I’d already be discharged.”

It was a relief that Aubree was okay. When Birgitte first heard about the accident, she’d been so frightened her heart almost stopped.

Birgitte said, “Ms. Miller, how long are you planning to keep this a secret? Bree Technology just got established. Not long ago, most of the shareholders rose to success alongside you, but those old foxes aren’t so easily fooled.”

Aubree’s accident didn’t just affect the Wilson family. On Bree Technology’s side, plenty of people were already stirring.

It had already been two days since news of the accident broke. There should have been an update now. No news usually meant the worst news. Most people had already assumed the woman who died in the accident was Aubree.

Bree Technology had grown too fast. In just two years, it had become a giant. With Aubree holding the most shares and the second–largest shareholder, Bowen supporting her, the company was practically under her sole command. Even if others had thoughts, they had to swallow them.

But now, she’d had an accident.

Some thoughts were surfacing at the perfect time.

Aubree said, “It’s fine. With Bowen backing me, they can’t stir up much trouble. In fact, I’ve been meaning to use this chance to clean house a little.”

She had considered this long ago. Even if something had happened to her, she believed Bowen wouldn’t let things spiral.

Birgitte hesitated. “Ms. Miller, aren’t you afraid Bowen might take advantage of the situation?”

She used to envy the relationship between Aubree and Patrick. But after what happened with Patrick, she’d come to believe. In the face of profit, love was the most fragile thing.

Patrick had even shielded her from acid to keep up the deception, let alone something like Bree Technology, now a billion–dollar empire. Could someone like Bowen really not be tempted?
