Orphan to Unbreakable Queen novel Chapter 39

Trevor gave lip service to not using showbiz tricks against Aubree, but the moment he turned around, he was already texting his assistant, Joey Reed.

Trever thought, “What better time to spread rumors than during the esports championship hype

But little did Trever know, Auburn was thinking the exact same thing

Plagiarism among college students won’t uncommon, and the Wilson family could’ve easily swept it under the rug without causing much of a stir. But Carmen just had to get on stage. This made her a prime target for public scrutiny.

Bowen wasted no time. By the time Joey was about to pay for a smear campaign against Aubree, the trending searches were already filled with hashtags accusing Carmen of haing a ghostwriter.

Joey said urgently, “Boss, check the trending searches now, Rumors about Carmen hiring a ghostwriter are all over the internet, and people have already figured out she’s your sister Your haters are using this to attack you if we don’t act fast, this could seriously damage your reputation.”

When Joey called, Trevor almost thought he’d misheard. “Wait, Carmen’s the one getting dragged online?”

She thought. If I remember right, didn’t Bryan handle this? How could it still go wrong?”

Trevor’s gaze froze for a moment as a name surfaced in his mind, Bowen.

If Bowen was really behind this, then Bryan alone didn’t stand a chance.

A spark of interest flickered in Trevor’s eyes. “Well, this just got interesting,” he thought.

“Hold off on that matter I asked you to handle,” Trevor ordered, a smirk playing on his lips. Right now, he was far more interested in seeing how Carmen would dig herself out of this mess

Meanwhile, Carmen received a call from Rithol Art School, essentially demanding her voluntary withdrawal

If she refused to

to withdraw on her own, Rithal Art School would have no choice but to expel her.

“Aubree, you fucking bitch” Carmen screamed, hurling her phone to the floor where it shattered into pieces.

Carmen’s face darkened with rage, teetering on the edge of explosion. Her breath came in short, ragged bursts

Bowen never misses his mark. With the backlash from her outburst at the Autumn Finals already brewing, Carmen had truly shot herself in the foot, leaving her with no way to defend herself.

Staying at Rithol was out of the question now. The priority was damage control. She had to clear her name from those ghostwriting allegations online. But she wondered who she could possibly turn to for help.

She thought, ‘Emery’s definitely out. Daxton rushed back to the lab last night for an emergency. No way he’ll be free anytime soon. And Mom and Dad? They’re on a business trip in a neighboring state.

Among the remaining options, Carmen hesitated for a moment before deciding to turn to Bryan for help.

At Ellis Heights, Aubree woke from her sleep. Sleeping in until nearly noon had completely refreshed her, melting away all the exhaustion from the past few days.

Bowen’s medicine worked like a charm. Ahorjust one night, the pain in her back had significantly subsided, allowing her to move around normally again.

Of course, what truly made her happiest was the bank notification, her prize money from the Autumn Finals had finally arrived

Chapter 30

The prize pool for the Autumn Finals was a staggering 23 million dollars. With only seven members in God’s fury, and Alvin giving up his share for the rest of us to split, she ended up with over 3 million dollars. With this kind of money, she could finally take the first step toward founding her own club.

Gleefully rereading the message several times, Aubres finally pocketed her phone and headed downstairs

Aubree walked into the dining room and saw lood on the table. It looked like someone had already eaten

Aubree called out, “Carol, did we have a visitor?”

Carol answered, “Oh, you’re up, Aubere. Bowen stayed over last night. We were going to call you down for lunch, but he insisted we shouldn’t disturb your sleep. He ate first and asked us to prepare a fresh meal for you when you woke up.”

Aubree’s eyes flickered with surprise. ‘Bowen stayed overnight at Ellis Heights? she thought, somewhat taken aback by the news.

‘Is Bowen still here?‘ Aubree asked, a little too eagerly. She’d planned to talk to him about the club after the Autumn Finals celebration. If she could rope in this golden ticket as an investor, it would save her a lot of trouble.

If Bowen were here right now, it would save me a lot of trouble,” Aubree thought.

Dasten made her realize that only by becoming truly strong herself could she stand tall.

Even with Alvin around yesterday, Darton still dared to strike. After all, Alvin was a Turner in name only, he didn’t have any real clout to make people wary. But the moment Bowen showed up, Darton got put in his place and had no choice but to swallow his pride.

“He should be in the study, Carol replied.

Bryan was at the office.

Standing at the company reception desk, Carmen was uncharacteristically nervous. She hadn’t spoken to Bryan since that awkward moment when he asked her about the tic

Carmen stood at the company’s front desk, brows furrowed, her fingers fidgeting with the ham of her shirt. Her eyes darted away from the receptionist’s puzzled gaze. After a moment’s hesitation, she finally stepped into the elevator that led straight to Bryan’s office on the top floor.

After days of relentless work, Bryan looked up dazedly at the sound of his name. When he recognized who it was, a flicker of disappointment flashed through his eyes before his brows drew together. “What are you doing here?” he demanded, his voice edged with Impatience.

99%

Bryan’s frown deepened. ‘How could have treated Aubree like that all these years?‘ he thought bitterly, ‘Compared to Carmen’s malice and hypocrity, Aubree has always been so genuine and kind, completely devoted to our family. How could I have been so blind?“Carmen Wilson
