Her n was to prepare any random dress, but Daxton told her that since everyone was focused on Carmen’s birthday, no one would notice if something went wrong with Aubree’s dress. But if anything did go wrong, the Wilson family would lose face.
Since Aubree and Carmen had simr builds, they could just give Aubree one of Carmen’s old dresses. That would be safer and less of a hassle.
Alice went with the idea. So in reality, no new dress was ever prepared for Aubree.
Ronald didn’t notice her guilty look and assumed everything had been properly arranged.
“Alright, Emery. If you’ve got nothing else to do, go rest in your room.” His tone had a hint of warning.
Recently, there were online rumors of discord within the Wilson family, which affected thepany’s shares. Everyone had to be present at tonight’s party, no exceptions.
Emery was annoyed but could only grumble, “Got it.”
A bitter, Trevor came back.
Their mom was upstairs with Carmen doing her makeup, and Emery wasn’t home. Their dad was contacting guests.
Only Bryan and Daxton were handling the party preparations.
Seeing him return, Bryan greeted him. “Trevor, you’re back. Busy with filmingtely?”
Trevor replied, “It’s been okay. Of course, I made time toe home for my sister’s birthday.”
Then, Daxton chimed in with a mood-killing remark. “The question is, which sister are you here for?”
Trevor smiled diplomatically. “You know who.”
He yed it safe. Then he mentioned how Aubree had visited his filming set recently.
Trevor said, “The female lead, Sylvia, said Aubree came to discuss some live-stream coboration, but I don’t think Aubree is capable of something like that.”
He’d been too busy with filmingtely and hadn’t kept up with the news. He didn’t know that yzy had alreadyunched and gone viral. Even when he saw some headlines, he never made the connection to Aubree.
Daxton was even more clueless. He’d been sacrificing sleep to make time for Carmen’s birthday prep.
He gave the same opinion as Trevor had before.
Daxton said, “She wasn’t there to talk business. She was just trying to get close to you. Don’t fall for it. Aubree’s always scheming.”
Trevor nodded. “That’s what I thought too. She never came back after those two days.”
“Probably saw you didn’t fall for her and gave up.” Daxton folded his arms with a cold sneer.
Just then, Wendy came rushing in, looking flustered. Daxton frowned. “Wendy, what are you panicking for? Didn’t Dad tell you to wait for Aubree?”
pm
Wendy replied, “Mr. Daxton Wilson, that’s exactly why I’m looking for Mr. Ronald Wilson.”
“What did she mean?’ Daxton nced toward the door. ‘Did Aubree arrive?’
He said, “So what if she did? Why all the fuss?”
C33
“No…” Wendy became more anxious. She had seen how Ronald was dead set on Aubreeing today. But as someone who’d observed everything over the years, she knew very well what kind of life Aubree had in this household.
Seeing that Aubree still hadn’t shown up, Wendy sent a message to check in. Aubree never even intended toe back.
Wendy couldn’t wait any longer. It would upset Ronald and ultimately hurt his reputation.
“Miss Miller won’te back here!” Wendy blurted it out and rushed off to find Ronald, leaving Daxton dumbfounded.
Bryan’s expression turned thoughtful. He looked at Trevor. “Trevor, is Aubree’spany called Bree Technology?”
Unlike the other two, Bryan had been paying attention. With how viral yzy had be, he’d already started looking into it.
Now, hearing what Trevor said, he had a hunch. “I think that’s the name.”
Bryan replied, “Then Aubree probably didn’te to look for you after all.”
He continued, “Recently, a new live-stream app called yzyunched. It shot to the top of app stores overnight. And ording to financial estimates, thepany’s revenue in just a few days has conservatively exceeded 30 million dors.”
Trevor’s eyes widened in disbelief. He couldn’t imagine those numbers having anything to do with Aubree.
Daxton was equally shocked.
