The Queen They Buried

Chapter 539

He couldn’t care less. He inwardly scoffed, ‘Back when Aubree was good to them, none of them gave a damn. Now they’re all tripping over themselves to win her favor. How shameless can they get?‘

“If you’ve got so much time on your hands, why not figure out how to get Aubree to even spare you a glance?” he mocked.

With that, Daxton grabbed Carmen’s hand and turned to leave.

Trevor was sure there was a reason why everyone used to side with Carmen. However, he had no idea why Daxton was so stubborn about siding with Carmon, but he couldn’t believe Aubree was really out of the picture.

“Daxton, you keep sticking up for her now, but don’t come crying when you realize you’ve been raising a snake at your side–and when the time comes, it’ll come for your life,” Trevor sneered.

Out of Daxton’s sight, Carmen stiffened for a second, then quickly relaxed. As long as she kept her mouth shut, there was no way Daxton would ever find out.

As for the whole stalker mess with Trevor back then, other people besides herself and Aubree were aware of it. As such, it wasn’t exactly surprising that Trevor would find out.

As Carmen reflected on everything, she felt a bit more at ease. At that moment, the most important task was to seize the opportunity while Bryan was occupied with cleaning up the mess Trevor had caused and to make a positive impression on the company’s shareholders.

Daxton, for his part, was sure he’d never be as clueless as Trevor. He lowly murmured, “So what? Carmen’s been like a little sister to me since we were kids. No one knows her better than I do.”
