Chapter 527
[All the people who said Trevor kept quiet because he was guilty, are you getting embarrassed now? He has had proof all along. He just kept it under wraps out of respect for Sophia. She just doesnโt appreciate kindness.]
[So the truth is this. Sophia canโt have children. Since she canโt secure her place with a baby, she tried to grab some assets, failed, and is now trying to take a slice of Trevorโs fortune, right?]
[What does Sophia actually want? Hard to guess!]
[Making such a scene, she must want Trevor to hand over Wilson Group shares.]
[Wow, Sophia is disgusting. I actually spoke up for her before. Gross.]
[Why canโt it just be that Trevor got tired of a wife who canโt give him kids? He never loved her anyway. Having an affair is normal, no?]
[Honestly I agreeโฆ Sophia is already pitiful enoughโฆ]
But as soon as any sympathetic voices for Sophia appeared, they were immediately drowned out by Trevorโs fans and self-proclaimed truth-knowers.
[You think Sophia is worthy of Trevor? Please. If I were her, Iโd thank my lucky stars for marrying someone like him. If he cheats, Iโd help cover it up!]
[Come on, use your brain. From the start, Sophiaโs clinging to Trevor was nothing but a scheme. Trevor was just being too responsible.]
From the very beginning of Trevorโs career, his fans had always been combative. Their obsession was so intense.
It wasnโt until later, when Trevor began gaining recognition through his work and his family background was revealed, that fans calmed down.
Now, seeing public opinion overwhelmingly in his favor, a smile returned to Trevorโs face. Even Skylerโs resignation didnโt seem to bother him much anymore.
Joey asked, โTrevor, the new agents are here for interviews. Do you want to meet them?โ
Only then did he put away his phone. โLet them wait in the lounge.โ
Most artists had to wait for agents to take them on, but someone like Trevor, agents were lining up to work with him. Even if they only managed his career alone, the money would last them a lifetime.
โOh, one more thing,โ Joey pulled out a USB drive. โWe found this at Skylerโs place. I called and asked. He said itโs for you.โ
Trevor was surprised that Skyler left something for him.
โLet me see,โ he said.
He plugged the USB drive into his computer. It was a video.
It started with a hotel room. Trevor frowned. It looked familiar. Seemed like a hotel, but all hotels looked kind of alike. It made sense to feel that way.
Trevor thought it was probably footage Skyler bought from some paparazzi. Blackmail material, maybe. At least Skyler hadnโt tried to use it to extort him.
The camera shifted and caught a personโs shadow.
Trevorโs relaxed expression froze in shock. It was Aubree.
The video finally had sound.
โWhy is it a girl?โ
โWhereโs Trevor? Whereโs my idol?โ
Trevorโs brain stalled. He remembered. This was back when he just debuted, while filming a drama. He got cornered in a hotel by fans.
He never kept it a secret that he was from the Wilson family. From the moment he signed with his company, Skyler had been his manager. When they formed a studio, Han followed him over.
Trevorโs eyes went distant. Back then, he had a girlfriend, not from the industry. She was a fan, kind of like Milena, but with an even more ordinary background.
Chapter 327
She came to visit him on set that day, but unfortunately, the fans ambushed the hotel. Worse, only Skyler was with him. He couldnโt hold them off alone.
If the fans burst in, theyโd find the girl. If news of their relationship got out, even with the Wilson family behind him, it would still cause chaos.
The hotel was surrounded, inside and out. Might as well pray no one found her in the room.
โI donโt know. My brotherโs not back yet. Iโm here visiting him.โ
In the video, Aubree still looked young. This mustโve been just after she returned to the Wilson family. Her face was innocent, completely different from the composed strategist she had become.
The camera shook. Aubree was violently shoved to the ground, crashing into the coffee table. A cup spilled, scalding water splashing all over her.
โBrother? You think youโre worthy of calling him that?โ
โYou stupid? This is Trevorโs hotel room. What else could she be besides his girlfriend?โ
โNo, really. Trevor is my biological brother.โ
โAs if. Youโre so ugly. Trevor is god-tier. At least come up with a better excuse.โ
Aubree sat dazed on the floor, struggling to explain, but no one would listen. Not only that, the fans thought she was being noisy and slapped her.
โSo what now?โ
โItโs her fault we didnโt get to see Trevor. Letโs teach her a lesson.โ
โYeah, give her a lesson!โ
The footage that followed was too brutal for Joey to even look at directly.
The fans didnโt treat Aubree like a human being. They vented their rage on her like maniacs. Stripping her was just the start.
Eventually, the police showed up, and the fans scattered.
Joey thought, if the police hadnโt come, Aubree mightโve been beaten to death.
Even Trevor clenched his fists. โHow? How could it be Aubree?โ
He remembered that incident. He always thought it was Carmen who had stepped in. That sheโd offered to be seen in his place, and since she was his sister, any rumors could be cleared up.
โWasnโt it Carmen who happened to visit the set that day? Didnโt she tell Skyler sheโd stay in the room, just in case someone saw her? We could just explain sheโs my sister, and it wouldnโt matter?โ Trevorโs voice was hoarse.
The fans were obviously prepared. If no one had been visible in the window, they wouldโve stormed in.
Someone had to stay behind.
Joey didnโt know what to say. She had a vague idea what he was talking about, though she hadnโt been his assistant back then.
โTrevor, the agents are still waitingโฆ Maybe we shouldโฆโ Joey started.
โRight, the agent!โ Trevor suddenly stood. The USB was from Skyler. He had to know what had really happened.
Trevor said, โJust interview them. Find someone with similar skills to Skyler. Iโll confirm later. I need to find Skyler now.โ
Without giving Joey a chance to respond, he grabbed his keys and rushed out.
As soon as he sat in the car, he froze. His fingers trembled on the steering wheel.
Aubree stayed behind for him and nearly got beaten to death, all just to protect his rising career.
What kind of person would risk their life for him?
The situation was so dangerous. Everyone knew whoever stayed behind would be targeted. Even Skyler didnโt dare to stay.
โAubreeโฆโ Trevorโs eyes welled up. His grip tightened on the wheel.
