Orphan to Unbreakable Queen novel Chapter 526

Chapter 526

Meanwhile, at the hospital.

“You nearly gave me a heart attack!” Birgitte finally let out a sigh of relief as she looked at Aubree lying on the hospital bed, leisurely eating grapes.

Aubree couldn’t help but laugh. Ever since her car accident, her phone had almost exploded from all the calls. But to keep Trevor from finding out she was alive and well, she had only informed Vincent and Birgitte.

She didn’t expect Birgitte would insist on coming all to Rithol City just to see her.

Aubree said, “I already told you I’m fine. If you’d come any later, I’d already be discharged.”

It was a relief that Aubree was okay. When Birgitte first heard about the accident, she’d been so frightened her heart almost stopped.

Birgitte said, “Ms. Miller, how long are you planning to keep this a secret? Bree Technology just got established. Not long ago, most of the shareholders rose to success alongside you, but those old foxes aren’t so easily fooled.”

Aubree’s accident didn’t just affect the Wilson family. On Bree Technology’s side, plenty of people were already stirring.

It had already been two days since news of the accident broke. There should have been an update now. No news usually meant the worst news. Most people had already assumed the woman who died in the accident was Aubree.

Bree Technology had grown too fast. In just two years, it had become a giant. With Aubree holding the most shares and the second–largest shareholder, Bowen supporting her, the company was practically under her sole command. Even if others had thoughts, they had to swallow them.

But now, she’d had an accident.

Some thoughts were surfacing at the perfect time.

Aubree said, “It’s fine. With Bowen backing me, they can’t stir up much trouble. In fact, I’ve been meaning to use this chance to clean house a little.”

She had considered this long ago. Even if something had happened to her, she believed Bowen wouldn’t let things spiral.

Birgitte hesitated. “Ms. Miller, aren’t you afraid Bowen might take advantage of the situation?”

She used to envy the relationship between Aubree and Patrick. But after what happened with Patrick, she’d come to believe. In the face of profit, love was the most fragile thing.

Patrick had even shielded her from acid to keep up the deception, let alone something like Bree Technology, now a billion–dollar empire. Could someone like Bowen really not be tempted?

“I trust him.” Aubree wouldn’t argue whether Birgitte’s perspective was right or wrong. Everyone had their own outlook. But she believed in her

choice.

“He wouldn’t lie to me, Aubree said firmly.

Bowen, walking in with a lunchbox, heard that last part. “Rest assured, Ms. Cherniavsky. I would never make a move against Bree Technology.”

Caught gossiping behind his back, even Birgitte felt awkward. “I hope you remember what you said today.”

She nodded at him. “I’m not targeting you. But I’ve received word that the Wilson family is trying to use their blood ties to fight you for Ms. Miller’s shares in Bree Technology.”

She added, “If even blood relatives are like that, how much less should we trust an outsider?”

Bowen calmly opened the boxes and set them in front of Aubree. “I’d never compare myself to beasts.”

“Ms. Cherniavsky, have you eaten yet?” he asked.

“Thank you, Mr. Turner, I already have.” Birgitte smirked coldly. “Whether you’re a friend or a foe, who’s to say?”

As the general manager of the Südlichen Strandzhou branch, Birgitte had eyes and ears everywhere. She knew plenty of minor shareholders had approached Bowen, pledging their support.

On the surface, Bowen had sent them away, but the truth could be different.

Aubree, holding her bowl, watched the two trade barbs and quickly tried to change the topic. “Birgitte, didn’t you say you had work at HQ too? I’m really fine. Why don’t you take care of that first?”

Not wanting to make things more awkward for Aubree, Birgitte nodded stiffly. “I’ll visit again later.”

Chapter 326

Once she was gone, Aubree rolled her eyes at Rowen “And you. You’re the president of a massive company. I already told you I love nurses here. I won’t starve, Yet you’re running back and forth. Aren’t you tired?”

Bowen replied. “Tve handed things off to Alvin, I’m pretty free right now.”

“What?” Aubree was stunned. He gave company matters to Alvin. That was like hamling a chicken leg to a hungry woll

“If he wants it, let him have it. Let’s see what kind of waves he can stir up.” Bowen’s eyes were calm, his face impassive.

Rather than wait for Alvin to find a way to give him trouble, it was better to open the door and see what he was planning.

This was an internal Turner family matter. Since Alvin hadn’t yet touched Bree Technology, Aubree had no reason to interfere.

Aubree sighed. “I owe him.”

Nowen said, “What’s the point of overthinking it? Eat.”

While Aubree recovered comfortably in the hospital, waiting to see Trevor’s next move, she assumed he’d at least try to confirm whether she was really dead.

Unexpectedly, he didn’t even bother pretending.

Before Skyler even finished handing over his resignation, Trevor had already mobilized his PR army to launch a smear campaign against Sophia,

Trevor’s thinking was simple. If Aubree really was dead, then only Sophia remained, and she was no threat. She had no money, no solid evidence. No one would believe her.

If Aubree wasn’t dead, and Sophia was, all the better.

At the end of the day, this was a matter between him and Sophia. The dead couldn’t speak, so he could completely control the narrative. And even if Aubree could speak, there was nothing she could do.
