The Queen They Buried (by Wynter Vans) novel Chapter 286

Chapter 286

Aubree’s “lost” wasn’t just about a single round. It meant the whole match.

*

Even though Aubree wasn’t actively managing the club anymore, she knew their track record was consistently stellar. They had won numerous championships and had never finished below the semifinals. Under normal circumstances, there was simply no way they should have lost this

match.

Bowen glanced at the screen again. On the TV, Matilda sat with her head lowered, seemingly lost in thought. She was distracted.

Bowen advised, “Look into her. Even if you two are close, sometimes, circumstances force people’s hands.

“Don’t let this affect the upcoming matches.”

Aubree took the matter to heart. Checking the club’s official social media account, she found it flooded with scathing criticism of both the players and the coaching staff. That’s when she realized that their only win in the match had come when the midsolo ignored Matilda’s instructions, picked a different APC, and won purely on skill.

The team’s conflict comms were leaked.

She trusted Matilda, but there were still some leeches in her family that hadn’t been dealt with yet.

With a sinking heart, Aubree texted Alvin about the situation. Fortunately, as a major shareholder of the club, he had been following the issue and immediately stepped in to take care of it.

The two–day break flew by. Aubree had spent the past two days at Ellis Heights, and early this morning, she was heading back to Rithol University.

Her off–campus living application was still under review. It wouldn’t be approved until Wednesday at the earliest.

“Bowen, mind if I borrow Zachary for a while?” asked Aubree.

Bowen looked at her and said with a hint of sarcasm, “How thoughtful of you to still remember Zachary. Did you dislike the person I assigned you that much? When I said I wanted him back, you didn’t even try to keep him around?”

Honestly, when Bowen asked Zachary to come back, Aubree agreed without hesitation. Her total nonchalance utterly infuriated him. How desperately did she want to avoid him?

Aubree pouted. “He’s your guy. You were set on taking him back. What was I supposed to do, stop you?”

Aubree didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. ‘Seriously? She just says it out loud like that? Isn’t she worried she’ll piss me off?‘ thought Aubree.
