Own Fate novel Chapter 364

‘Is he back?‘ Alice thought to herself.

Alice stared blankly at Kyler, her eyes welling up with tears. The surrounding noise was deafening, but in her eyes, there was only him.

Rationality told her that this was just someone who looked very much like Xander. But even so, she couldn’t help but steal a few more glances.

Fortunately, Ronald and the others were focused on Aubree and didn’t notice her abnormal behavior.

Thinking Alice had always disliked Aubree, Bryan said, “Mom, Dad and I are planning to go see Aubree. Are you coming with us, or…?”

Alice finally came back to her senses, hastily pulling her gaze away. “She’s still my daughter. I might not like how she constantly targets Carmen, but we can’t stay estranged forever.”

She said the words, but her thoughts were already drifting back to Kyler. ‘Who is he? What’s his name? Why is he by Aubree’s side?‘

Alice thought of many things, but never imagined this man was someone Aubree had intentionally brought in. After the incident at the hospital, she was sure Ronald would investigate. Her calmness then stemmed from confidence. After Xander passed away, the Diamonde family had wiped away every trace of him.

Partly, it was to keep Alice from clinging to a dead man, and partly, it was to make sure nothing would blow up in her face if Ronald ever got desperate and started lashing out.

Bryan actually felt a bit relieved. At least there was still hope that his mom and Aubree could finally bury the hatchet.

When Tryfon saw Ronald and the others coming over, he beamed and started introducing them to Aubree. “Ms. Miller, let me introduce you. This is Bryan Wilson, current chairman of Rithol City Wilson Group. And this is Mr. Ronald Wilson, the man who built Wilson Group from scratch.”

He continued, “This is Mrs. Alice Wilson. She founded a fashion brand with considerable international fame and is also the eldest daughter of the Diamonde family in Südlichen Strand.”

Aubree’s identity was no secret in Rithol City, but outside of it, few paid attention. Tryfon only knew she was an orphan, and with the surname Miller, it never crossed his mind that she might have any connection to the Wilson family.

Tryfon continued, “You’ve probably crossed paths doing business in Rithol City and Südlichen Strand. Actually, JinnCee is one of Wilson Group’s e–commerce platforms. Who knows, maybe you two could collaborate.”

Tryfon smiled warmly, introducing them for Aubree’s benefit.

Aubree smiled slightly. “Thanks for the introduction, Mr. Marchuk, but there’s really no need for us to get acquainted.”

Her gaze swept the room, landing briefly on Alice. “Mr. Marchuk, I have other matters to attend to. If you’re ever in Rithol City, dinner’s on me.”

Aubree left behind Vincent and also kept Kyler.

She didn’t go far, heading instead to the second floor where she found the perfect viewing spot. From there, she had a clear view of the Wilson family downstairs.

“Well…” Tryfon sensed the tension and suspected something more was going on.

Dmytro quickly whispered in his boss’s ear, “Ms. Miller is Mr. Ronald Wilson’s daughter.”

Ronald forced a smile. “Aubree is my… daughter.”

Tryfon wasn’t stupid. Knowing the surname mismatch and the family tension, he immediately shut up and gave a dry laugh. “Well, what a coincidence.”

The atmosphere instantly turned awkward.

Tryfon then said, “Your daughter is quite the achiever. So young, and already she’s pioneered livestream commerce on Playzy,

Trylon’s compliments finally drew a genuine emile from Rota As a father, Hearing such praise for his daughter experially from someone like Tryfon, made him feel proud

1: was his daughter, achieving so much at such a young age

From the second floor, Aubree watched it all unfold with a faint, cold smile. She thought, “What a touching love story. After all these years, and she’s still not over him?‘
