Chapter 140

“Aubree, how could you treat Emery and Mom like this? We've all been waiting for you at the door since early

this morning, and even prepared a special meal just for you. How can you be so ungrateful.” Carmen stepped

forward, her voice full of indignation.

She made it sound as if skipping this meal was an unforgivable cragainst the family.

But the moment Carmen was done with her words, Aubree slapped her hard across the face. A sharp, clear crack

rang out.

Carmen was utterly dazed by the slap, while the rest of the Wilson family stood there, completely dumbfounded.

Aubree rubbed her stinging palm. ‘Figures. Carmen really is thick-skinned; my hand actually hurts from slapping

her,” she thought with contempt.

The moment Aubree walked in and spotted Carmen, she'd been itching to deliver that slap for ages.

With old grudges and new grievances weighing on her, today Aubree was determined to burn all bridges with the

Wilson family. She owed it to herself to settle every last score.

Daxton was the first to snap out of his shock, bellowing in rage, “Have you lost your mind?”

Aubree didn’t hesitate for a second. She spun around and slapped Daxton hard across the face. Daxton looked

like he wanted to fight back, but the bodyguards standing nearby made it clear that wasn’t an option.

Aubree’s eyes burned red with raw hatred. “Yes, you drovecrazy.”

Apart from Carmen, the person she hated the most was Daxton.

Sure, everyone in the Wilson family had a hand in her death in her old life, but the real masterminds were

Carmen and Daxton.

As the family doctor, Daxton was always the first to review the Wilson family’s medical reports, which meant he

knew about Aubree’s early signs of organ failure all along. But he deliberately tampered with her reports, making

every checkup look perfectly normal.

So whenever Aubree said she felt unwell, the Wilson family just thought she was faking it and punished her more

badly. That was how they drove Aubree to an early grave before she even turned thirty in her old life.

Rubbing her wrist, Aubree shot a cold, mocking look at Carmen, who had shrunk into Daxton’s arms. She

sneered, “An adopted daughter will always be an adopted daughter. You'll never truly amount to anything more.”

The words cut Carmen to the quick. Fury blazed within her, nearly shattering her composure. Yet, with the crowd

watching, she swallowed her rage and quickly donned a pitiful mask.

Carmen forced a smile and said, her voice laced with feigned pain, “Aubree, if hittingbrings you joy, I'll

gladly endure it. Just please don’t take your anger out on everyone else.”

Daxton snapped, “Carmen, stop wasting words on her. Aubree’s gone completely mad.”

Aubree smirked to herself. ‘Well, Carmen actually got that right. Hitting her really does makehappy, she

thought. ‘How impressive. She can still keep up appearances after being slapped in front of everyone!

“Carmen, what a performance,” Aubree sneered. “I've got other things to do today, but don’t worry. We've got all

the tin the world. We'll play this gnice and slow.”

Chapter 140

As for Daxton, Aubree couldn't be bothered with him. He was, hands down, the biggest moron in the entire

Wilson family.

In the past, such behavior would have earned Aubree a beating. But now, even if the Wilson family loathed

Aubree, they had to put up with it. After all, Ronald still coveted the company in Aubree’s hands.

Alice’s jaw tightened. Through clenched teeth, she demanded, “Aubree, what exactly are you here for today?”

“Enough. Stop making a scene. Cwithto the study.” Ronald's face darkened. He assumed Aubree had

cback to talk about company matters related to Playzy. He decided to tolerate her for now.

“Why go to the study?” Aubree smiled sweetly. “Isn't it better to talk right here with everyone watching? That

way, you can’t suddenly develop selective amnesia and flip-flop on what was said.”

Only then did Ronald sense that something was off. He shifted his gaze to Bryan.

Bryan took a deep breath. “Dad, Aubree never mentioned coming back to discuss Playzy.”

“What?” Ronald was thunderstruck. He frowned at Aubree, who wore a mocking smile. “So, what exactly did you

cback for this time?”
