Chapter 225

Vincent had gathered all the evidence against the MindDrift platform. Now, he just needed the signal from Aubree–then every ruthless tactic that Mind Drift used to drive traffic would be brought to light.

Aubree said, “There’s no need to hurry. School starts in a couple of days, and Carmen must be feeling pretty pleased with herself right now. Let’s savi surprise for the first day–let’s make her even more notorious,”

Aubree’s speculations had a basis. Carmen, who had been panicking due to recent deaths before the New Year, saw that nothing significant had occu and, feeling relieved, thought it was not a big deal.

Little did Carmen know that immediately after the incident, Aubree’s team had already contacted Arthur’s family. After some negotiations, the family agreed to remain silent for the time being–but only if Aubree would assist them in taking down the MindDrift platform, and Aubree readily consenter

School resumed just a few days after the New Year, and with only about a hundred days left until the SATS, Aubree remained dedicated to her studies throughout the break. By the time of the first exam of the semester, her scores had already secured her a spot in the school’s top ten.

Aubree was quite pleased with her results–getting into Rithol University now felt like a sure thing. ‘But I can’t afford to relax, she thought. ‘I need to reinforce my position and continue pushing myself. With her academic priorities in order, it was time for Aubree to settle some scores.

Inspired perhaps by Aubree, Carmen’s art scores in the semester–opening exam showed a remarkable improvement. Even her teacher, who seldom offered compliments, had to acknowledge that she was not bad when she put in some effort.

Despite the secret disdain some felt towards her, Carmen remained true to her identity, and her classmates continued to shower her with compliment: in front of her. That night, the class group chat turned into an awkward display of people gushing over Carmen.

They praised her youthful talent, referring to her as a rising star who was capable of outshining established players. Mind Drift, launched a year ago, wa projected to surpass Playzy in earnings. They claimed she had always been brilliant–she just never felt the need to study until then, likely having taken easy compared to Aubree.

Carmen reveled in the long–awaited sensation of being the center of attention. To her, this was exactly how life was meant to be–surrounded by privilege, cherished by devoted parents, admired by friends, and paired with the perfect partner. Everything was falling into place, just as she had alway envisioned.

Her eyes shimmered with ambition, and a smug smile played on her lips. Carmen was convinced that Aubree wasn’t as tough as she appeared–it hadn‘ taken much to push her aside. With Aubree nearly out of the way, Carmen intended to shift her focus to her exams, have her family pull a few strings, and set her sights on the Rithol Art Institute. Attending the same university as Alvin was all part of the plan.

Carmen’s ambition was unmistakable. She believed that once she was with Alvin, her position within the Wilson family would soar. Daxton, in her eyes, was too absorbed in his precious lab to pay attention to anything else. With the Turner family backing her, Daxton’s influence, and her cunning, she saw no reason to settle for the title she longed for. She had her sights set on taking over the entire Wilson family.

“Thank you for all the kind words, everyone! Since we just celebrated the New Year, I’d like to send out some gifts in the group,” chimed in Carmen, effortlessly charming everyone around her.

No one would be foolish enough to turn down gifts. The group chat instantly lit up with playful excitement, as everyone began calling Carmen their generous sponsor and jokingly begged to be adopted.
