Chapter 490
As soon as Carmen heard Daxton’s question, she slipped into her usual facade. Her face immediately fell, looking
every bit like someone who had been wronged but was too afraid to say anything.
“Daxton, it's fine. | just haven't seen you in a long time, so | cto check on you,” she said, forcing

finally spoke up.
Carmen lowered her head, her eyes turning red. “After Aubree left home, she started her own company, teamed
up with the Turner family, and went up against Dad and Bryan.

move against us.
But today, | realized that maybe, no matter what | do, Dad doesn’t even care.”
Daxton’s heart ached. “Carmen, you're overthinking it. Dad and everyone else notice all that you do for the
family.”
Carmen shook her head, sniffing. “No, it’s not like that. At today’s investment meeting, | failed to secure the
investment.
“No matter what, | started BeeShare and I'm still running it, but Dad wasn’t even angry. He was actually pleased
that Aubree had that kind of ability to attack me.
“In the end, he just doesn’t care about me.
“Daxion, | wish | could have a say in the family and the company like Bryan does.”
Carmen's grumbling made a thought appear in Daxton’s mind. The real reason he was so hostile toward Aubree
and didn’t want her to cback was that he was afraid that Carmen would lose her standing in the family if
Aubree returned.
He thought, ‘Now that Carmen is already part of the company and holds sshares, if only she can get her
hands on a bit more...
Daxton quickly pushed that thought away and steadied himself. “Carmen, don’t overthink it, How could Dad not
value you? If he didn’t, he wouldn't have let you join the company or keep working on your project.”
Carmen nodded, studying Daxton’s face for any sign. She felt her plan had worked perfectly.
She knew exactly what she needed at the moment was shares. As long as she had those, the Wilson Group
would fall into her hands sooner or later.
Her mother would definitely back her up. As for Daxton, she was confident she had him wrapped around her
finger.
However, at the end of the day, Daxton was still a member of the Wilson family. She could never be completely
sure. Her best bet was to strike while Daxton was still completely on her side and take his shares for herself.
No matter if she had to lie or steal, as long as those shares landed in her hands, nothing else mattered.
Daxton had indeed been thinking about shares just now, but what was on his mind was completely different from
what Carmen was plotting.
Carmen nodded obediently. “You're right, Daxton. The most important thing fornow is to do my job well.”
Daxton gently stroked her hair, his touch full of restrained affection. “Go get srest.”
When Carmen turned and walked away, Daxton felt a sudden surge of unfamiliar longing in his usually calm and
composed eyes while watching Carmen’s back.
‘Why shouldn't | go for it? It’s not like we're actually related anyway, he thought.
Meanwhile, Ronald was busy with his own plans.
Every tAubree revealed her talent, Ronald found it harder to resist the urge to bring her back to his side as
his right-hand woman.
He went to the butler and asked, “Where's my wife?”
The butler hesitated. “She hasn't cback yet.”
‘She hasn't cback?‘ Ronald frowned, suspicion flickering in his mind.

Ronald paused for a moment. “I see.”
A sudden suspicion flashed through his mind. Alice had been out of the house a lot lately, and from what he
remembered, her company, Cloud Design, wasn’t even that busy these days.
