The Queen They Buried (by Wynter Vans) novel Chapter 538

Chapter 538

It was Daxton.

His eyes were blazing with anger as he stared at Trevor with an expression that was anything but friendly.

He had just passed by and happened to hear Carmen’s voice. He moved a little closer and caught every single word Trevor said.

If Alice had heard this, she probably would’ve just nagged a little and let the matter slide as Trevor was her own son.

But as far as Daxton was concerned, Carmen could do no wrong, and anyone who crossed her was automatically in the wrong.

He asked with a darkened face, “What did you just say?”

Trevor knew exactly how short–tempered Daxton could be. He let out a cold laugh and said, “Why don’t you ask what Carmen did first?”

The moment Daxton turned his gaze to her, Carmen immediately dropped her eyes, putting on that helpless, pitiful look as she explained everything from start to finish. She sobbed, “It’s my fault. If I’d just paid a little more attention back then, I would’ve figured out exactly what Trevor wanted to ask, and none of this mess would’ve happened.”

Trevor couldn’t believe that Carmen could still twist the truth right in front of Daxton! He was so mad he pointed right at Carmen’s nose and snapped, “How dare you say that? You call that not paying attention? You knew exactly what I was asking! You just realized that Aubree wasn’t here and jumped at the chance to take all the credit!”

Back when Aubree was still with the Wilson family, Trevor was one of those who unfairly took Carmen’s side without caring about right or wrong, and he never thought Aubree had anything to feel wronged about.

He didn’t think she had any reason to feel sorry for herself.

He believed that leaving the orphanage and being reunited with the Wilson family was the luckiest thing that could ever happen to her. Compared to all the wealth and privilege she got, a few harsh words were nothing to complain about.

If anything, Trevor felt that Aubree should’ve been feeling grateful.

He believed that Aubree was merely acting, always portraying herself as the victim to garner their attention and sympathy, attempting to evoke their pity.

In a voice dripping with sarcasm, he added, “You’re truly impressive. You got played, ended up in this sorry state, and instead of figuring out how to deal with it or fight back, all you can do is stand here and take it out on Carmen.”
