Orphan to Unbreakable Queen novel Chapter 536

Chapter 536

Chapter 536

The news that Aubree was safe spread quickly, and everyone soon knew about it.

Carmen couldn’t believe it. She’d seen the photos from the crash site herself. The car was wrecked beyond recognition, and yet Aubree had survived. Carmen thought in disbelief, ‘low is she still alive?

Can’t believe she made it out alive!‘

Ronald and Alice didn’t seem too bothered by the news. After finding out that Aubree was fine, Ronald just told Bryan to let go of any plans he had for Bree Technology.

But the one who took it the hardest was Trevor.

Trevor burst out laughing, “Ha! Aubree, I just knew nothing could take you down!”

“Man, how much do you have to hate me to even dig up someone like Kate just to mess with me?

“Do you hate me that much? Weren’t you the one who would’ve risked your life for me at the start?”

Trevor felt a tangled mess of emotions; he felt resentful that Aubree could be so heartless, yet relieved she was safe. The mix left him restless and on edge.

Just then, Carmen knocked and walked in.

She had no idea that Trevor already knew she’d taken Aubree’s place.

Trevor had been too busy with the lawsuit against Kate to bother with Carmen, but now she’d come to him herself.

Carmen’s smile froze under Trevor’s stare, and she contemplated, ‘Why does Trevor look at me like that? Did I do something wrong?

‘Yeah, makes sense. Of course, Trevor’s in a bad mood–Aubree’s fine.‘

Carmen took a deep breath as she inwardly reasoned, ‘Trevor is grounded at home and had been forced by Bryan to publicly announce his retirement from the entertainment industry. Meanwhile, Aubree, the one who started all this, is completely unharmed. I have to take advantage of this chance and get Trevor on my side.

“Trevor, Bryan said things are going really smoothly online,” Carmen said carefully, taking a few steps closer.

“I was really startled when I heard Aubree is okay. I thought… Well, anyway, it’s good that she’s alright,” Carmen added as she patted her chest, pretending to be relieved.

Trevor suddenly spoke up, “You were startled? Or were you just mad that Aubree didn’t die?”

Carmen froze momentarily, unsure how to answer. Before she could say anything, Trevor went on, “Drop the act. Your little schemes aren’t even as convincing as some nobody in showbiz.”

That line was a slap in the face for Carmen. Her cheeks turned red, though she couldn’t tell if it was from shame or anger.

“I’m not Emery, and I’m definitely not Daxton. Even Bryan can see right through your tricks. So, what makes you think I can’t?” Trevor said as he lit a cigarette and blew a puff of smoke right in her face.

“Trevor…” Carmen murmured as she forced a smile that was uglier than crying.

She realized she’d messed up–Trevor had seen every trick in the book, and her little games were completely transparent to him.

“Trevor, since you’re not in’a good mood, I’d better not bother you,” Carmen said, her instincts screaming at her to get out of there fast.

“What’s the hurry?” Trevor said, holding his cigarette between his fingers and letting the ash fall to the floor without a second thought.
