Orphan to Unbreakable Queen novel Chapter 386

Chapter 386

“Ronald, Alice, try this.” Sophia said, looking especially pleased with herself.

She was probably the most smug person at the whole table.

She put on a bright smile and cheerfully picked up food for the two sitting at the head of the table. Trevor’s expression was sour. With the media watching, he had to put on a show of taking great care of Sophia in public.

In private, he still couldn’t do anything to her, or she’d just cry and he’d be swarmed by netizens.

Carmen sat next to Daxton, her eyes wandering around the room. No one could tell what she was thinking.

Daxton seemed completely unfazed, just quietly eating his meal.

Every so often, he would serve Carmen some of her favorite dishes. “Just focus on eating,” he told her.

“Okay, Daxton,” Carmen said, lifting her plate, her eyes flashing with a calculating light.

Sophia was basically a walking time bomb. Anyone who messed with her would get dogpiled by everyone.

Carmen could more or less guess that all of this was Aubree’s scheme targeting Trevor. Trevor wasn’t really on anyone’s side. He just hated Aubree more than he disliked Carmen.

Aubree had publicly denied ever helping Sophia.

Carmen thought, ‘If Sophia blew up while she was with Aubree, there’d be no way for Aubree to talk her way out of it.

‘If that happened, not only would Trevor finally be free of this mess, he might even see me in a new light. I’d get to give Aubree a taste of her own medicine!‘

She still hadn’t forgotten about that art exhibition fiasco. Just thinking about it now made her so mad that she could hit

someone.

She’d been very close to clearing her name, but thanks to Aubree’s meddling, her teacher’s reputation took a hit, and she came under even more suspicion.

Luckily, she apologized quickly. The people on the internet never remembered one incident for very long. Once the drama blew over and with the Wilson family pulling strings behind the scenes, she still managed to become a rising star in the art world.

The power of capital was absolutely undeniable.

It only took a little time for Carmen to get marketed as a gorgeous, gifted painter. Since she couldn’t make it as some highbrow art master, she just went all–in on the commercial route. In this world, she believed that the real big shots would be the ones who sold the most paintings.

Ronald’s face was tense. “Let’s just eat,” he said.

No one was enjoying this meal. It was the holiday season, and Trevor still had to put on a show with Sophia for the media. No matter how much he hated it, he still forced a smile for her.

Ronald watched, his anger rising. After just a couple of bites, he slammed his fork down and stood up from the table. “Come to my study after you’re done eating,”

He was talking to Trevor, who nodded.

After dinner, Trevor had Sophia pose for some photos. Sophia knew how to act up, but she wasn’t dumb. She understood when to stop and played along obediently.

Trevor snapped plenty of shots of Sophia looking perfectly content and well cared for during her pregnancy at the Wilson family. He posted them to his X, and only after a flood of compliments did his expression finally ease up a bit.

“Don’t even think about anything else. Just have the baby, and I’ll give you a sum of money,” he said, his voice icy cold.

In reality, he’d never actually planned to let Sophia carry the baby to term.
