The Queen They Buried

Trevor went to find Skyler.

At Skyler’s home, he was quite surprised by Trevor’s visit. “I thought you’d be celebrating your victory right now.”

He had already resigned and didn’t intend to hold on to old grudges. He even managed to smile at Trevor.

Trevor sat on the couch, his hands clasped nervously. “That USB drive…

Skyler couldn’t hide his surprise. He had thought someone like Trevor, who would stop at nothing to get what he wanted, wouldn’t care about such a thing. “I bought it from those fans back then.”

Skyler continued, “After we got out of the hotel safely, I called the police. I was the one who handled the aftermath at the station. I saw what had happened from the police evidence. That video was filmed by those fans. If it got out, it would’ve hurt Aubree badly. I paid quite a sum to buy it.”

“What, you came all this way just to ask me about this?” Skyler let out a laugh, as if he found it ironic. When Trevor hired someone to crash a car, he clearly didn’t think about how Aubree had once helped him. Now, he suddenly grew a conscience.

Trevor felt a bit embarrassed too. He understood the implication behind Skyler’s words. He opened his mouth, but in the end, it didn’t really matter if he asked or not. It was now very clear. The one who helped him that year wasn’t Carmen, but Aubree.

He was extremely stupid to get something so important so wrong.

His body was stiff. But Carmen did visit him on set that year.

“It wasn’t Carmen who helped me that time?” Trevor’s voice was so low that Skyler nearly thought he had misheard.

“What?” Skyler looked shocked. So all these years, Trevor had treated his biological sister like dirt because he thought Carmen had helped him.

Skyler said, “As far as I remember, your foster sister Carmen did go looking for you that day. But she never even went into the hotel. She saw the fans crowding around and called me to confirm. Then she said she wouldn’t cause trouble and left.”

Trevor’s gaze was dazed, his emotions stirred. “Then why… why didn’t you tell me afterward who exactly it was?”

Back then, Skyler had done PR by just saying “his sister” without naming names. When Trevor heard Carmen had gone to visit him, he naturally assumed she was the one who helped.

“Come on. Aubree was still just a kid. If it weren’t for some blurry pictures the fans took, I wouldn’t have let her get involved at all. Thankfully, her face wasn’t visible. I asked Aubree about it. She didn’t want to reveal her identity…” Skyler paused, recalling the look in Aubree’s eyes when she told him just to say “sister” and nothing more.

Her eyes were dim, helpless, but tinged with hope.

So, she already knew back then that Carmen might end up taking the credit.
