    Chapter <b>50 </b>


    The Whon family was hell bent on destroying Aubree this time. Trevor’s public statement wasn’t enough. They even splurged on buying trending hashtags and hired an army of paid trolls to smear her online.

    Aubree stared at the hashtags dominating the trending list, absentmindedly chewing on her straw “Now’s the time she thought.

    She didn’t bother with any exnations. Instead, she simply attached photos of the franchise slot purchase and the lease agreement for Golden

    Her post was concise (I’m Aubree Miller, co–owner of God’s Fury Club, currently managing <b>this </b>official ount


    Yet this simple post ignited an online firestorm.


    Within minutes<b>, </b>shares andments skyrocketed to astronomical levels


    The Wilson family were pulling out all the stops, buying up media coverage, hiring troll armies, and even sending in their crown jewel, <b>Trever</b>, <b>a </b>heavyweight at the very top of the entertainment industry. The whole affair became such a spectacle that everyone wanted in, from industry insiders to casual onlookers.


    They wondered if this was a family feud, an esports drama, or something else entirely.


    The onlookers said nothing. They were just here for the drama.

    Aubere also casually liked a fewments that caught her eye.


    With everything done, Aubere locked her phone and headed back in is Heights,pletely unfazed by the social media storm her few words had


    unleashed


    A person wrote: Sa Turner Group is backing her now? Does that mean Aubree is officially tied to them

    Someone else wrote: The League officials had assumed Turner Group wouldn’t get involved. At most, they were staying neutral as a courtesy to An But now that Aubree has openly stated the club is backed by Turner Group, if the really cheated, the club would fold immediately.


    A person wrote: With just the franchise slot alone costing Turner Group 20 million, no corporation would simply sit back and watch that kind of money go down the drain.||


    The League officials were starting to waver. Although theirtest statement still hadn’t cleared Aubree of the cheating allegations, the wording wasi already subtly leaning in her favor


    The moment this whole thing reached its peak was a Twitter post from Apex Squad. The post itself didn’t outright confirm or deny whether Aubree had cheated, but when even her opponents called her win legit, suddenly, nobody really cared anymore if she had actually cheated


    The only lingering question was why Matilda, as the coach, would publicly call out Aubree


    A person wrote: [Assuming Matilda was lying. Aubree is already the boss now, but she hasn’t done anything to her to she some kind of saint who just lets


    byrones be byjones?)


    Another wrote: [But if what Matilda <b>said </b><b>was </b>true, even if the League had lost its mind, would Apex Squad really go along with it? Their boss is Emery. There’s no way he’d just let the championship trophy slip away without a fight, right?


    All doubts were put to rest when an explosive video emerged,


    It turned out that Matilda was not the person who posted those thing


    Upon receiving Aubree’s message, Matilda immediately took leave and rushed home<b>. </b>She arrived so early that her family waspletely caught off


    guard


    As she pushed the door open, the first thing she saw was her parents and brother beaming with joy, clutching a bank card as if they’d just won the


    lottery


    Matildalet out a coldugh, snatched the bank card from their hands without hesitation, and snapped it in two. Staring at her family, she demanded, “So without my consent you impersonated me to nder my friend? Do leven exist as your daughter or your sister in your eyes?”


    Matilda’s words made the three of them shrink back in guilt. Ever since Drake got hooked on gambling, her parents had been struggling tirelessly to ear and borrow money, leaving Matilda to handle all the family affairs, <b>big </b>or small.


    The three members of the Diaz family undoubtedly felt guilty towards her.


    <b>Previously</b>, <b>to </b><b>appear </b>more intimidating Matilda changed her name <b>and </b>cut her hair short


    Her brother kept breaking his promises to gamble yet she never gave up on this family. Even as <b>her </b>parents wept and pleaded, they sull spoiled him, but she kept trying to <b>pull </b>them all out of the quicksand


    But this time, it <b>was </b>like a <b>cold </b>wave washed over her. She’d never felt so betrayed.


    She was already more than capable of making serious money, but her parents still chose to abandon her without hesitation for the hetty bribe Carmen


    offered


    They never once considered what she’d have to endure afterward, nor did they care what would be of her. Their only concem was that their

    Drake winced as he looked at the broken hank card in his sister’s hand, his face twisting invisible pain. “Matilda, let’s talk this through Don’t waste all


    those money!”


    Truman scowled and said sternly, “Matilda, you’ve gone too far this time.”


    Shirley said hesitantly. “Matilda, how could that Aubree ever be as important as your own brother?”


    “No,” Matilda said firmly, “<b>I’m </b>doing this for myself”


    Matilda’s deadly serious tone made her family instinctively recoil.


    She said, “I never did well in school, but as you all know, recently became a coach and led my team to a championship, warning over 3 million in prize money. <b>Now</b>, I’m officially the head coach of God’s Fury, with a six figure monthly <b>sry</b>, <b>plus </b>a share of the prize money from very tournament we win.


    Matilda waved the snapped bank card in her hand, “<b>So</b>, do you

    “Sixsix figures?” Truman gasped, blurting out, “Holy cow, holy cow! That’s more than I’ve made in my entire working


    Drake never expected his sister to have such unexpected luck. While their parents only understood basic sries and bonuses, he knew exactly how much under–the–table ie this esports career could really bring


    Shirley pped her chest in dismay and said, “Oh no, we’ve really messed up now!


    If Matilda’s sternness earlier was the stick, then her offer of steady ie just now was the carrot


    Matilda employed the carrot–and–stick approach, a tactic Aubree had suggested, and, to her surprise, it worked like a charm.


    Matilda raised her eyebrow slightly, suppressing a triumphant smile and affecting a serious <b>tone</b>. “Here’s the deal,” she said, “if you record <b>a </b><b>video </b>together, admit what you did, exin exactly how you did it, and apologize, then I let it go.”


    Truman pped his thigh impatiently and urged, “What are we waiting for? Drake, hurry up and get your phone!” He was so eager, he almost wished he could turn into a phone himself,


    Drake hastily fished his phone out of his pocket.


    Unnoticed by everyone, Matilda allowed herself a small, triumphat smile. “Nailed it!” she thought

    Although the Diaz family didn’t go into detail about Carmen bribing them, anyone with half a brain could connect <b>the </b>dots, the Wilson <b>family </b>was <b>obviously </b>behind it. Otherwise, they would not smear Aubree instead of supporting her.


    Now even Alice’s <b>usations </b>about Aubree’s “moral corruption” were being called into question. People were starting to just part of a smear campaign.


    The counterattack turned out to be surprisingly effective,rgely thanks to Emery’s <b>public </b>statement.
