Orphan To Unbreakable Queen - Chapter 134: Chapter 134

Outside City Hospital, Bowen received a call. "Mr. Turner, as instructed, we've anonymously reported the suspicious circumstances surrounding Arthur's fall to the police. They've dispatched officers to the Military Hospital to investigate," the caller said.
Meanwhile, at the Military Hospital, Arthur was already out of danger. Before Stanley could put on his "doting father" act for the media, several uniformed officers appeared and flashed their badges at him.
"Sir, we're the city police. You're suspected of attempted murder. Please come with us," an officer said.
The news about Stanley's arrest by the police spread quickly. Simultaneously, the intense discussion between Lynn and Aubree went viral, instantly escalating the incident.
Arthur's grandparents were also taken away for investigation. Since Lynn was pregnant, she received special consideration. She wasn't allowed to leave Rithol City for the time being and was required to cooperate with the police at all times. Arthur was also placed under protective custody.
When the news broke out, Ronald was livid. He never intended for this incident to directly take down Playzy; he only wanted the Morgan family to stir up controversy online to prevent the truth from surfacing.
According to Ronald's plan, Playzy would be bogged down by this incident and take a massive hit. He would then seize the chance to prop up Carmen's MindDrift and crush Playzy.
He never expected Aubree, amidst her troubles, to sabotage MindDrift. But then again, Carmen was just a fool. She couldn't wait to jump right into the trap set for her.
MindDrift was beyond salvation, but Ronald found some comfort in the increasing public backlash against live streaming.
Since MindDrift is doomed, I might as well make Aubree suffer too. It would be even better if the Morgan family could stir up more drama. If Arthur were dead and that sparked public outrage, it would lead to the best outcome,' he thought.
However, who would've thought that in the end, the very fire Ronald started ended up burning him instead?
With the Morgan family under investigation and Bowen discreetly passing messages, the situation had garnered intense public attention online, causing the city police to remain vigilant.
As for Ronald, he was uncertain if the authorities would uncover the truth. Justice had a long reach, and he no longer had time to focus on teaching Aubree a lesson. His top priority was to figure out how to distance himself from the entire situation.
At this point, Aubree knew she didn't need to lift a finger; the situation would naturally ease by itself. In the end, the outcome was as she had expected.
Then came an unexpected twist: Arthur regained consciousness and revealed how his father had plotted to push him off the building.
As a result, the entire Morgan family was convicted on varying degrees of charges. Lynn, overwhelmed, suffered a miscarriage. However, even after her recovery, there was no way for her to escape imprisonment.
Upon his discharge from the hospital, Arthur was picked up by his maternal grandparents, who lived in another city. Unfortunately, Ronald managed to walk away unscathed.
He had only reached an agreement with the Morgan family; he never explicitly told them what to do. He provided the money, and they handled the rest. Whatever methods the Morgan family used had nothing to do with him.
Aubree remained undeterred. Her mission now was to dismantle the Wilson Group step by step. Once that colossal, towering tree finally toppled, it would mark the demise of the Wilson family.
Controversial incidents related to livestreaming kept cropping up one after another. Not long after, new regulations were introduced to tighten control over the industry. Seizing the opportunity, Aubree launched two new livestreaming channels: product-based livestream sales and PK-style interactive battles.
The official announcement specifically stated that the purpose of PK was to encourage mutual promotion and learning between streamers. If the platform detected any violations or inappropriate language, the livestream would be immediately shut down, and in severe cases, the account might be permanently terminated.
Unlike MindDrift's lack of boundaries, Playzy's approach was more humane and regulated. With the launch of these two new livestream formats, Playzy experienced another surge in traffic. Of course, some streamers still tried to bend the rules and push the limits, but things remained within control.
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 clearly unsettled by 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 was 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.
