Orphan To Unbreakable Queen - Chapter 119: Chapter 119

He thought he had never given Aubree anything. He was puzzled about what she had gained. Anthony stared blankly at Aubree. Aubree prompted, "Mr. Carr, why don't you take a moment to recall our conversation from that day?"
Anthony wondered, still puzzled, 'What could be wrong with that conversation?'
Anthony replayed the events of that day in his mind, and suddenly his expression froze in shock.
Aubree stated, "When Logan's family comes forward to identify the Rosepoly Group, you will be my witness. I also need solid evidence of the Rosepoly Group's tax evasion."
Anthony replied, "Alright, I'll take care of it. However, I expect 150 million dollars."
"You set me up!" Anthony yelled, his voice filled with rage.
Nothing else mattered. Those two sentences were undeniable evidence of Rosepoly Group's tax evasion—and his involvement. No matter how thorough the investigation, everything would ultimately concern him. With Logan's blood on his hands, Anthony felt a knot form in his throat. 'What should I do now? Is it a lifetime behind bars or...'
Aubree said calmly, "Unless something unexpected has occurred, that recording should already be in the hands of the police."
"No!" Anthony exclaimed in desperation, pleading as he turned to Aubree. "Please, just let me go! I'll do anything you ask. You're targeting the Wilson family, right? I can help you. After all, I've worked for Ronald for years—I know a thing or two about dealing with him."
He believed he could manipulate Aubree to make Ronald deeply regret abandoning him. However, in the end, he became nothing more than a disposable pawn in someone else's strategy—a mere piece to be discarded at any moment.
"Mr. Carr, are you attempting to bribe me?" Aubree pretended to be distressed. "As a law-abiding citizen, I must respectfully decline your generous offer." With a sigh, Aubree stood up. "It's time to face the consequences. Repent for your actions here."
As Aubree exited the interrogation room, Anthony completely lost his composure, his furious curses echoing after her. "Aubree Miller, drop dead!" Anthony shouted, his voice raw with anger. "How dare you frame me! Just wait—the Wilson family will ruin you! Do you think you can take on the Wilsons? You're not even in their league!"
Aubree walked on, unfazed by Anthony's insults, and didn't spare him a single glance.
As Aubree stepped out, she sneered, thinking, 'Defeated by the Wilsons? I fought my way back from hell to settle the score with them!' She coldly contemplated, 'This time, even if it costs me everything, I'll drag every single member of the Wilson family down with me! Emery, are you ready for this?'
It was an obvious day in Rithol City. Bowen had parked his car outside and was standing beside it. The moment he spotted Aubree coming out, he immediately walked toward her. "Are you alright?" Bowen asked.
"What could go wrong? Can you take me home? I still need to pack for my flight tomorrow. The weather is beautiful today. Emery should take the time to enjoy the view while he can—he won't have many opportunities to see it where he's headed," Aubree said.
Aubree's lips formed a devious smile as Bowen gazed at her intently. He was certain—Emery wouldn't be able to recover from this one.
In the conference room of Rosepoly Group, Ronald instructed the executives, "The PR department should leverage Anthony's arrest to mitigate our losses."
"The stock price is already on the rise. Just hold on for the next few days—this crisis will soon be behind us."
"Thank you all for your hard work during this busy year-end period. I'm pleased to inform you that your annual bonuses have already been credited to your accounts."
Ronald turned to Emery and said, "Emery, you were reckless this time. Now that Bryan is back, shadow him for a couple of years, learn from this experience, and ensure you manage Rosepoly Group properly in the future." Ronald made it clear to the gathered executives that he planned to hand over control of the Rosepoly Group to Emery.
Emery immediately stated, "I fully accept responsibility and will learn from this experience. I assure you that a crisis of this nature will not occur again at Rosepoly Group."
The others quickly joined in, adding their compliments. "Mr. Wilson may be young, but he's destined for success," someone praised.
"How can this possibly be Mr. Wilson's fault? It's Anthony's insatiable greed. That's the real issue. We've grown tired of him bossing everyone around the company for a long time."
"That's right..."
The sycophantic praises were still resonating in the conference room when the door was suddenly thrown open. "Who are Emery and Ronald Wilson?"
Emery said, "I'm Emery."
“Officers, what seems to be the problem?” Ronald asked, his eyelid twitching uncontrollably.
"We've received a report that Rosepoly Group is under suspicion of tax evasion. You are required to come with us for questioning." At those words, more than half the people in the conference room suddenly turned pale.
Ronald still attempted to protest, his voice filled with desperation. "Officers, is there some sort of misunderstanding here?"
"If there is any misunderstanding, you can clarify it at the station." A police officer shouted, "Take them away!"
The police finally escorted Ronald and Emery out. As they stepped through the main gate, a flurry of camera flashes illuminated the night.
"Mr. Wilson! There are rumors that the Rosepoly Group is involved in tax evasion—what do you have to say about that?"
"Mr. Wilson, you've always portrayed the ideal entrepreneur. Aren't you embarrassed by this scandal?"
"If your son Emery is involved, will you choose justice over family ties, or will you do whatever it takes to protect him? Mr. Wilson, please answer us!"
"Emery! You've just taken over at Rosepoly Group, and everything is falling apart. Is this a result of your incompetence, or was Rosepoly Group already struggling from the start?"
"Emery, is your father grooming you to be his successor? With your brother Bryan recently removed from the Wilson Group, is he pitting you two against each other?"
Undeterred by the police, the reporters eagerly sought even a single word from the two members of the Wilson family. Emery had never encountered a situation like this before; overwhelmed by the swarm of reporters, he was utterly speechless. "I... I don't know. I'm not sure..." he stammered.
Ronald strongly rejected the allegations, stating, "Let's wait for the official investigation results before jumping to any conclusions." However, his words went unheeded.
Once the police took them away, the internet erupted with headlines about the Rosepoly Group's tax evasion scandal and the arrest of all its top executives. The images conveyed everything on their own.
Just as Rosepoly Group's shares had started to recover, they plummeted again, causing investors to panic and rush to sell their holdings. This situation led Rosepoly Group into an unprecedented crisis.
With the police in complete control of the situation, even Bryan—the last remaining core leader—was unable to influence the outcome. The evidence against Anthony was clear-cut. Seeking leniency, he fully cooperated with the investigation, and with Aubree intensifying the matter, the police quickly acquired decisive evidence.
Regrettably, Ronald was by then just the major shareholder of Rosepoly Group. Although he made the key decisions, he didn't hold an official position in the company, which made it challenging to hold him directly accountable for the situation. As for poor Emery, he hadn't taken any money for himself, yet he couldn't escape the consequences of the predicament.
As the acting CEO of Rosepoly Group, who intentionally concealed tax fraud, Emery could not avoid punishment, even with the Wilson family's elite legal team. Ultimately, Anthony received a ten-year prison sentence for multiple offenses, while Emery was sentenced to three years and ordered to repay the owed taxes.
With Emery in prison, the stock price of Rosepoly Group immediately fell to its daily limit. The company struggled to survive for long, and Ronald soon declared the Rosepoly Group bankrupt.
By then, Aubree was already on a private jet bound for Shiyvania. The Wilson family had lost their enthusiasm for a vacation—an air of despair hung heavily over the entire household.
"Damn! Aubree Miller dared to do this!" Ronald gritted his teeth in anger, thinking, 'That damn Aubree dared to send Emery straight to prison!'
With her youngest son going to prison, Alice was overwhelmed with tears. "How could I have given birth to such an ungrateful person?" she cried.
Daxton sneered. "So this is the 'beloved daughter' you went through hell and high water to bring back, Dad? She's nothing but ungrateful—now that she has some power, she doesn't hesitate to turn against her own family!"
Trevor couldn't help but add salt to the wound. "If I remember correctly, the club that Emery used to manage, Apex Squad, is on its last legs, right? Aubree's God's Fury has already acquired it."
While Ronald was focused on the crisis at Rosepoly Group, Apex Squad became entirely unsustainable. After careful consideration, the board of shareholders decided to sell it to God's Fury. Aubree has transformed Bree Technology into an undeniable powerhouse in the business world and has rapidly propelled God's Fury to the forefront of the esports scene.
"Dad, Aubree has crossed the line this time! We're talking about our brother, Emery!" Carmen gasped, tears filling her eyes.
Ronald's eyes hardened, a dangerous glint flashing within them. "She showed no mercy, so don't expect any from me!"
