Chapter 244

After being busy for a while, Aubree thought to herself that it was about time to create some trouble for the Wilson family.

Last time, Carmen was beaten up in front of a hotel and ended up in the hospital. Nobody could tell if she was seriously injured or just lying low to avoid the heat. However, it had been a while, and she still hadn’t come out of the Wilson family’s private hospital.

Alice had just returned from an overseas exhibition. The moment her plane landed, she went straight to the hospital to visit Carmen. Upon receiving the news, Aubree also rushed to the hospital without delay.

Aubree was no stranger to this hospital. She used to be a regular here, so all the staff knew her. She walked straight to the front desk and asked for Carmen’s room directly.

The nurses wouldn’t have entertained her if it had been anyone else. Regardless of what outsiders were saying about Carmen, she was still the boss in the eyes of those working at this private hospital as long as she still bore the family name “Wilson.”

But it was Aubree Miller who had approached them. That left them unsure of what to do. The two receptionists hesitated and said, “Anyway, since Madam and Sir are here, why don’t we ask them?”

Hearing this, Aubree’s eyes lit up. Ronald is here too? What an unexpected bonus, she thought.

Soon, Aubree was led to Carmen’s ward. “What are you doing here?” Alice asked, her face clouded with displeasure, though her eyes revealed a flicker of unease.

What on earth is Aubree up to? Does she have something to say? Alice wondered, feeling nervous.

“Aubree, are you here to make a fool out of me?” Carmen lowered her gaze with a wry, self-mocking smile, putting on a pitiful act. If Daxton were here, he would surely give Aubree an earful again.

Unfortunately, the two people in the ward weren’t in any position to intervene. Ronald had come only to tell her to get discharged, freshen up herself, and accompany him to business banquets; all for the sake of promoting her.

As for Alice, she was clearlyresentful of Aubree’s arrival and was in no state to deal with anything else.

Aubree glanced at Carmen with disdain. To make a fool out of you! I wouldn’t even want to waste my breath, she scoffed.

Carmen’s facade crumbled as anger flashed across her face. Just as she was about to retort, Ronald cut in impatiently, “Enough! Stop this bickering!”

When Ronald turned to look at Aubree, his demeanor visibly softened, a gentle smile appearing on his face. “Aubree, what brings you here today?” he asked.

The Wilsons are all born actors, Aubree thought wryly.

Aubree couldn’t help but suspect Trevor’s acting skills weren’t just talent, but something in the family’s genes. Alice could fake being mentally ill, and Ronald was downright two-faced.

Honestly, this whole family are practically the best actors and actresses, she thought to herself.

Don’t be fooled by Ronald’s warm smile, Aubree thought. He may look all friendly on the surface, but deep down, he’s probably already plotting how to destroy me.

That was exactly the case. Ronald somehow knew Aubree’s visit meant trouble. However, he still held onto a sliver of hope. After all, he was her biological father. If I play the part well on the surface, maybe she’ll change her mind, he thought.

“Oh yes, I do have something,” Aubree said as she took out several documents. Everyone present instantly recognized the documents. These were the legally binding severance agreements she had previously demanded the Wilson family to sign, the ones that would officially sever all ties.

Ronald’s face instantly darkened, and Alice’s heart leapt into her throat. She didn’t even realize that she dug her nails hard into Carmen’s arm. It wasn’t until Carmen cried out in pain that Alice finally let go.

Alice’s heart pounded like a drum, her eyes fixed on Aubree. What on earth are you up to? What do you want to say? she thought to herself.

Unease gnawed at Alice, leaving her feeling powerless. She was desperate to do something to stop Aubree.

“Slap!” Alice suddenly slapped Aubree’s hand away, and the documents scattered on the floor. The back of Aubree’s hand instantly reddened.

Aubree smirked, and her gaze locked onto Alice. “Why are you so worked up!” she asked.

Ronald also looked over. Alice’s overreacted, he thought.
