Tried 384

    <b>Chapter </b><b>384 </b>


    Ronald <b>had </b>never considered such a problem <b>before</b><b>. </b>


    He had <b>already </b>publicly severed ties with the Turner Group. The Wilson Group, in alliance with the Lawson Group, had essentially cut <b>off </b>all cooperation with the Turner Group in the business circles of Rithol City.


    With the Turner Group already <b>as </b>an enemy, if another rival like Bree Technology emerged, that would be a nightmare.


    A flicker <b>of </b>panic <b>crossed </b>Ronald’s eyes, but he said, “I don’t buy that she’d just forget everything we had.”


    Even if there <b>was </b>no old affection left, Aubree was still a member of the Wilson family by blood. Ronald felt that there was no <b>way </b>she didn’t want a piece of the Wilson Group.


    Just for that reason, he figured Aubree wouldn’t really want to go <b>down </b>in mes with them.


    The moment Ronald’s confident words left his mouth, Sophia appeared on the TV.


    At that very moment, <b>every </b>eye in the room <b>was </b>on Trevor.


    The instant Trevor saw Sophia, his previouslyid–back, unconcerned attitude vanished. His heart started pounding. He kept telling himself that even if Sophia <b>was </b>here, there <b>was </b>no way a <b>few </b>words from her could really hurt him.


    But then, the phone recording yed, and itpletely crushed <b>Trevor’s </b><bst </b>shred of wishful thinking.


    Ronald stared at him. “Didn’t you <b>say </b>you took care of everything<b>?</b><b>” </b>


    Carmen spoke up timidly. “Has Sophia always been with Aubree?<b>” </b>


    Trevor hurled the ss in his hand at the TV that was broadcasting the press conference. The <b>ss </b>shattered, and the TV screen cracked.


    “Sophia and Aubree!” he growled through clenched teeth. Carmen’s words had just made him realize what was going on. At first, he thought it was just some enemy from his <b>circle </b>who had gotten to Sophia and <b>set </b>him up.


    After all, Aubree wasn’t even part of their world, and she didn’t know Sophia at all. <b>He </b><b>felt </b>that they couldn’t have possibly teamed up. Besides, he hadn’t known Sophia was pregnant, but somehow Aubree did.


    ‘Damn you, Sophia. I can’t believe you yed me like this<b>!</b><b>‘ </b>Trevor thought bitterly.


    Trevor racked his brain, trying to remember. He felt that the only time Aubree and Sophia could’ve met <b>was </b>back on that film


    set.


    ‘Aubree, I really underestimated you. I bet you and Sophia <b>were </b>already in cahoots back then,‘ he thought bitterly.


    “I never expected Sophia to go to Südlichen Strand. I thought she didn’t <b>have </b>the guts to y these little tricks on me. That was my mistake,” Trevor muttered, lowering his head. That phone recording was turning into a real <b>mess </b>for him.


    Trevor <b>was </b>in a total disaster.


    “I’ll figure out a way to fix this,” Trevor promised Ronald, his head hanging low.


    “Fix it, and don’t let <b>it </b>affect the Wilson family,” Ronald said, his <b>gaze </b><b>icy</b><b>. </b>


    Trevor shuddered. The meaning <b>was </b><b>crystal </b><b>clear</b>–if he brought trouble to the Wilson Group, he’d be abandoned without a second thought, <b>just </b>like Emery had been.


    He had to make <b>sure </b>Sophia <b>lost </b>the <b>baby</b><b>, </b>and it couldn’t <b>be </b><b>traced </b>back to him.


    Trevor narrowed his eyes. Instantly<b>, </b>someone came to mind.


    The Yurchenko family <b>was </b>finished, but it <b>was </b>Quantavius who took the fall. Milena had nothing to do with any of it.


    Quantavius <b>was </b>taken in for questioning, and with all the evidence Aubree provided, he was convicted on multiple charges and sentenced to life in prison.


    4:51 PM


    It wasn’t just Quantavius. <b>There </b>wasn’t a single innocent soul left in the Yurchenko family. Thanks to Quantavius’s private ounts, his parents <b>were </b>taken out and <b>executed</b>.


    Whatever conscience the Yurchenko family had was reserved for Milena. They never let her get involved in the family


    business.


    The Yurchenko family’s assets were seized, and Milena <b>was </b>thrown out of her mansion.


    She had to make do with the little money left on her card and checked into a hotel.
