Chapter 528

“Miss Miller!” The butler’s eyes nearly popped out of his head when he saw Aubree walking in.

He wasn’t the only one in shock. Even the housekeeper and servants widened their eyes. The Wilsons considered themselves royalty.

Back when Aubree left the Wilson family, plenty of them thought she was being stupid. So what if she had to put up with a little mistreatment? Being the heiress of the Wilson family meant rolling in riches. If it were me, I’d take it without complaint, they all thought.

Some even placed bets on how long it would take for Aubree to slink back, begging for forgiveness.

But none of them ever imagined things would flip like this. In the end, it was the Wilson family members who had to go, one by one, to beg Aubree to come back.

It really blew everyone’s mind. No one expected the tables to turn like this.

It turned out that Aubree managed to achieve more after she left the Wilson family.

The butler watched as Aubree, looking completely unwilling, was dragged in by Trevor. He could pretty much guess what that phone call asking about Carmen was for, and secretly felt relieved that he’d given Carmen a heads-up earlier.

If I hadn’t done that, Miss Wilson might’ve ended up in the hospital tonight, he thought to himself.

When Aubree met the butler’s gaze, she gave him a polite nod. He’d secretly helped her out a few times before. It didn’t really fix anything, but at least made the punishments a bit more bearable.

Trevor had already figured out how to please Aubree on the way back. He was going to make Carmen pay for every single thing Aubree had suffered in the past.

That should finally appease Aubree, right? And if that’s still not enough… Trevor thought, a dangerous glint flickering in his eyes. He wouldn’t hesitate to get his hands even bloodier if that was what it took.

“Aubree!” Ronald called out as he came down the stairs. He’d just heard about Trevor from Bryan’s phone call and was furious, ready to confront Trevor. But the moment he saw Aubree, all that anger instantly turned into shock.

His gaze shifted to Trevor’s hand, which was still tightly holding onto Aubree’s.

Did they come back holding hands? Has Aubree forgiven them? Did Trevor manage to talk her into coming back? he wondered.

But when Ronald looked closer, he noticed the barely suppressed anger on Aubree’s face. In that instant, he realized that Trevor must have forcefully brought her back.

Meanwhile, Bowen arrived outside the Wilson family’s house. Trevor had already instructed the guards not to let him in, and they stood firm at their posts, blocking his way.

Bowen didn’t want to force his way in. Since Bree is back at the Wilson family’s mansion, probably nothing bad will happen to her for the time being, he thought.

Inside the Wilson family’s mansion, Carmen was feeling uneasy, holed up in her room, but still unable to escape Trevor’s clutches. When she spotted Aubree sitting on the living room sofa downstairs, she felt even more uneasy.

Aubree? Why is Aubree here? What is Trevor planning to do to me? Carmen thought.

“Trevor, Aubree is back?” Carmen managed to squeeze out a smile that was uglier than crying, all the while desperately praying that Alice and Daxton would get home soon.

Trevor ignored her completely, while Ronald was thinking about something else.

Chapter 588

The Ridgehaven Town project had already been officially awarded to Bree Technology, and there was basically no room for negotiation anymore. Even for the Wilson Group, if they could get a share of that project, it would be a huge benefit.

If Trevor really managed to bring Aubree back, then as family, we could get involved in the project too. Aubree would probably agree to it. With these thoughts in mind, Ronald didn’t try to stop Trevor.

Trevor dropped to one knee in front of Aubree, bringing himself eye-to-eye with her. “Aubree, how do you want to make Carmen pay for everything she put you through?”

Aubree didn’t say a word. She just shot him a look full of sarcasm as she thought, Sure, Carmen hurt me plenty, but in the end, wasn’t it always you people who actually made me suffer?

Trevor wasn’t fazed by Aubree’s icy attitude at all. He got to his feet and fixed his gaze on Carmen, making her visibly tremble in fear.

“Let me see. The punishments Aubree got the most were being starved, forced to kneel, and punished. But you’ve already eaten, and if you sneak food later, I won’t even know.” Trevor frowned, mulling it over.
