At least Aubree had agreed to return.
Bryan informed Ronald that Aubree was returning that afternoon.
The news spread like wildfire, and unexpectedly, by the tAubree returned, the entire Wilson family had
already gathered.
Alice even went out of her way to have Wendy prepare a lavish feast, specifically requesting Aubree’s favorite
dishes.

Meanwhile, Aubree stepped out in a designer trench coat. She had hired two lawyers.
Zachary stood waiting with a team of bodyguards, ready to escort her to the car.
Aubree glanced at the group and asked, “Are all these people from the Turner family?”

Zachary replied respectfully, “Yes, Miss Miller. Mr. Turner worried about what they might do, so he specifically
assigned a team for your protection.”
Gesturing to the well-dressed man beside him, Zachary continued, “This is the attorney Mr. Turner arranged for
you. If the Wilson family causes any trouble, Miss Miller, you can rely on him for assistance.”
‘A lawyer arranged by Bowen?’ she wondered. Aubree took a closer look, and a jolt ran through her. ‘Wait? That's
the renowned Attorney, Caesar? He's the Turner Group's chief legal counsel, with an absolutely undefeated
record.’
Aubree thought, ‘Going to the Wilson residence to terminate the adoption is not a big issue, and Bowen sent the
Turner Group's top attorney to help me? Isn't that a bit of overkill?
‘Well, the Wilson family will have a hard time. Well, Bowen really knows the ropes. He even arranged bodyguards
and many luxury cars for me.”
While a whole convoy of high-end vehicles might be nothing special to a family as wealthy as the Wilson family,
the display certainly made an undeniable statement.
Aubree thought, ‘I'm not going back to the Wilson family for scozy reunion. I'm here to make them pay!
“Let's go then,” Aubree said with a confident smirk.
Back when she lived with the Wilson family, they treated her worse than dirt. And now, they were all lined up at
the gate to welcher home. How utterly laughable and pathetic.
The Wilson family gaped at the lineup of pristine luxury cars.
The motorcade cto a halt. Six black-suited bodyguards were the first to emerge, forming two disciplined
lines that tightly encircled the central car.
Zachary was the first to step out of the car, opening the door for Aubree.
The deep red trench coat swept into view first, seizing the Wilson family’s attention. Only then did Aubree
emerge from the car, her lawyer hot on her heels.
Upon seeing such a grand display, Alice’s heart sank with a sudden sense of foreboding. Bryan had only said that
Aubree was coming back but never mentioned why. It seemed she wasn’t here for a friendly visit.

“Aubree, you're really back,” Daxton exclaimed urgently, his eyes beaming with joy. At first, he had thought it
was just a false alarm about her return.
Aubree shot him a cold glance. “Just here to settle sbusiness.”
Daxton was so swept up in the joy of Aubree’s return that all sense of reason left him. He was so happy that she
had finally cback that he didn’t notice what she said at all.
Daxton beamed, “You're back. That's great. Wendy has prepared a whole feast. Let's have our family reunion
dinner together.”
Alice quickly chimed in, “That's right, Aubree. We specially prepared all this for you. Please, cinside.”
“Specially prepared for me? Seafood pasta?” Aubree almost laughed out loud, recalling how Carmen had
hypocritically asked Wendy to make seafood pasta for her back at the hospital.
Apparently, Emery also recalled the incident. His face stiffened as he said, “Of course not, Aubree. | didn’t
understand before, but | promise it won't happen again.”

“No need. | didn’t cback for any so-called family reunion dinner with you people anyway. Besides, just the
thought of sitting at the stable as you makeswant to throw up,” said Aubree.
Aubree let out a derisive laugh, not bothering to spare the Wilson family any dignity. There were no more
cherished good memories between her and the Wilson family.
