Chapter 519

“Useless! You’re all a bunch of useless trash!”

At this point, Trevor had become the center of public attention. Wherever he went, journalists followed like dogs chasing a bone. They were impossible to shake off.

Since the crew still had filming to do, after some negotiation, Trevor and Kate were eventually “asked to leave” the set.

Kate looked at him, worried as he lashed out in frustration. Trevor, this whole thing is because of me… Why don’t I step up and explain? I don’t really care about being a celebrity.”

“No!” Trevor rejected her without a second thought.

But when he faced her, his tone softened, almost dripping with tenderness. “Don’t be silly. You want to admit that we’re really together? That would just confirm all the rumors.”

Kate lowered her head in guilt, but in truth, her eyes were filled with mockery. These “rumors” were actually true.

Trevor, however, mistook her reaction as genuine concern. His heart softened completely. All the other women he’d been with relied on him to fix everything. But here she was, stupid enough to try and sacrifice herself to help him solve this problem.

“Don’t worry. I’ll take care of everything,” he said with joy he couldn’t quite hide, pulling her into his arms. “Trust me, everything will be fine.”

Kate responded softly. But she thought, ‘No. You’ll be ruined.

Sophia had now entered the public eye. Trevor’s usual tactic, which was imprisoning Sophia and controlling the narrative, was no longer an option.

Especially since, after the launch event, Aubree had quietly arranged for Sophia to be taken away.

The journalists did not disappoint. They quickly broke the story. Trevor had considered bribing the press, but Sophia was out of control now. This scandal couldn’t be buried, and he didn’t want to risk being caught trying.

Sophia stuck to her claim. Trevor cheated and forced her into a divorce.

Trevor personally entered the fray, claiming instead that Sophia was trying to steal his Wilson Group shares. He accused her of greed and self- destruction.

Each side told a different story. Without hard evidence from Sophia, Trevor’s version sounded more “reasonable” to the public. He even dug up old dirt, like Sophia using pregnancy to pressure him into marriage. In this head–to–head, he still held the upper hand.

For now, the crisis was more or less under control.

Trevor finally breathed a little easier. But he still wasn’t sure who helped Sophia.

He’d ruled out every possibility, except the one that now seemed most likely, Aubree.

Trevor let out a long sigh. He had truly underestimated Aubree. To strike back at them, she was even willing to work with Sophia again.

Meanwhile, Carmen’s “BeeShare” project was barely surviving even with support from the Lawson Group and the Diamonde family. But she wasn’t totally incompetent. Even in this state, she still managed to create some buzz.

For now, the company was half–dead, just hanging in there, but if the right opportunity came along, it might just make a comeback.

Still, Aubree wasn’t about to give her any chance to recover.

She’d had her eye on Carmen’s project for ages, and now it was finally time to cash in and make Carmen pay up.

What she revealed at the previous investment meeting had only been the tip of the iceberg. Aubree knew just as much about this project as Carmen.

She began leaking hidden risks and existing flaws.

“BeeShare shared bikes are barely holding on. It’s a desperate struggle.”

“Trying to repeat the success of shared bikes with e–bikes is a fantasy. High costs make this model unsustainable,”

“Data shows that over half of the e–bikes have been stolen, damaged, or abandoned. With such high production costs, can the company really absorb this loss?”
