Chapter 346
Anyway, she could always ally with the Wilson family. Once she married Trevor, the Wilson and Yurchenko families would be bound by marriage. Aubree was no one to be feared.
Milena asked, “What did you guys do?”
Mimicking Milena’s earlier attitude, Aubree said, “Nothing much. I just shorted your family’s stocks, that’s all.”
They didn’t do much, just poured a fortune into snapping up Yurchenko Group’s shares at sky–high prices, only to dump them at rock bottom.
Normally, people wouldn’t do this. First, one would need deep pockets; second, if it didn’t work, one would be spending the money in vain.
Unfortunately, the Yurchenko family’s dominance in Südlichen Strand relied entirely on their old connections and shady businesses. They lacked any real strength of their own. Whereas for Aubree and Bowen, they were never short of money.
Milena’s face drained of all color, her previously composed demeanor completely shattered. “You’re insane!”
Milena couldn’t believe Aubree would go to all this trouble for some mere employee.
Aubree demanded, “I’ll ask you one last time. Where’s Birgitte?”
Quantavius was also growing impatient. “Out with it!”
“I’m not telling. Quantavius, how could you side with outsiders against me?” Milena shouted with tears in her eyes, her resentment overwhelming any sense of reason. “Don’t you know Aubree stole Trevor from me?”
Quantavius was at his wits‘ end with Milena. He knew she could be extreme, but this was downright brainless.
He thought, ‘What the hell is this? If she likes Trevor, just go ahead. No one’s stopping her. But claiming Aubree stole him? What does that even mean?‘
“Are you out of your mind? Aubree and Trevor are biological siblings. Why on earth would she steal him? To put on a show for her?”
“Wh–what?” Milena was in disbelief. She thought, ‘They’re real siblings?‘
Now that Aubree had spelled it out so clearly, even someone as dense as Milena couldn’t miss the fact that she’d been manipulated by Trevor.”
