The Queen They Buried

Chapter 522

“Ms. Miller, I've done everything you asked, the man said.

“But... there's still no definitive evidence. | can’t gain the upper hand. Now Trevor is also out of our sight. If he

sues me...”

“Don’t panic.” Aubree hadn't even finished her sentence. Then, a blinding flash, followed by the screech of

brakes tearing through the night. Two cars collided violently.

“There's been an accident! Call 911!” someone shouted.

“Call an ambulance! Someone’s been pulled out... | don’t think they're breathing!”

“So much blood... Who is this?”

“Breaking news. A traffic accident occurred on Maple Road tonight, involving a collision between two vehicles.

Four people were injured, two of whom died at the scene. The identities of the deceased are still under

investigation...”

Far away in the Wilson family home, Carmen smiled as she saw Aubree’s face flash across the phone screen.

Being carried out on a stretcher, covered in so much blood. Even if she’s not dead, she’s hanging by a thread,

Carmen thought.

She smirked. ‘Aubree, Aubree, after all you did for Trevor, in the end, you ended up dying because of him. But

don’t worry, I'll make sure to take credit for all your good deeds. | won't let your hard work go to waste!’

Meanwhile, Trevor was so happy when he saw the news that he popped open a bottle of champagne to

celebrate.

If only that crash had killed both Aubree and Sophia. He couldn’t even begin to imagine how much trouble that

would save.

Meanwhile, at Turner Group, Bowen's office lights were still on. Recently, Alvin had gained his father’s support

and rallied many shareholders to the boardroom, causing him a lot of trouble.

Bowen's hand slipped, his pen tearing through the paper. Suddenly, his chest ached sharply.

Kelvin burst in, panicked. “Mr. Turner, Miss Miller was in an accident, a car crash.

“What?” Bowen's vision went dark. He had to grab the desk to stay upright. “Where is she now? Taketo her!”

“Mr. Turner, please don’t panic. We don’t have clear info yet. It might not be her...” Kelvin tried to calm him down

while quickly arranging transportation.

When Bowen arrived at the hospital, the medical staff were running back and forth. He grabbed one of them.

“The patients from the Maple Road accident. Where were they sent?”

The nurse paused, glanced at him curiously. “The dead are being taken to the morgue. The injured are in surgery.

Who are you looking for?”

Bowen's eyes were bloodshot, his face pale. He opened his mouth, but no sound cout.

The nurse, a bit impatient, glanced down at her clipboard. She looked up just in tto see a stretcher being

pushed their way. She pointed, “Two people died on Maple Road, a man and a woman. The man’s already in the

morgue. This is the woman.”

Bowen's grip loosened. Trembling, he looked toward the stretcher being pushed closer. At the tof the crash,

Aubree and Sophia were in the back seat. The driver and the other car's driver were both men. So this female

body...

Kelvin couldn’t stand it anymore. “Mr. Turner, just look for yourself.”

Bowen replied, “I'll do it.”

He took one shaky step after another toward the stretcher. His outstretched hand trembled like someone with

Parkinson's. The nurse, thinking he was a family member, didn’t stop him. “My condolences.”

“Such a young girl, pretty too. What a shame.”

“So unfortunate.”

Bowen lifted a corner of the white cloth, revealing a delicate hand beneath. A single tear fell. All of this happened

so fast.

Before he could fully lift the sheet, a clear voice called out from behind him, “Bowen, what are you doing?”

Chapter 522

He asked, “You're okay?” All the strength drained from his body. He nearly collapsed as he turned around. He

saw the person he longed for standing there, safe and sound.

And just like that, he cried harder. His eyes were like broken faucets, tears streaming uncontrollably.

Kelvin also teared up, stunned and overwhelmed with relief. Just moments ago, Bowen looked like a widower. The

grief was real Kelvin also thought for sure that the body belonged to Aubree.

“Well, I'm not completely fine.” Aubree joked, pointing at her crutch. “Broke a leg.”

She then tapped her head. “Mild concussion. Bowen, are you in shock? I clearly look very injured. Shouldn't be

hard to tell!”

Before she could finish teasing, Bowen pulled her into a tight embrace. The crutch clattered to the floor. Kelvin

said emotionally, “So glad you're okay, Miss Miller.”

Bowen didn’t say a word. He just held her tightly, his body still trembling.

Aubree froze, then slowly smiled and returned the hug. “I'm okay now, Bowen. Maybe | lived such a miserable

life that fate decided to cuta break. The car hit the driver's side. | was sitting in the safest spot.”

She continued. “The two people who died were Sophia and the other driver. The driver chauffeur is still in

surgery. | just broke a leg and got a

concussion.”

“Then why did the news....” Kelvin was confused. The information they received had been vague.

Aubree scratched her head. “Well, | don’t think it was an accident. | don’t know how many people were involved

behind the scenes, but clearly, someone wanteddead. So | didn’t expect to scare you both before catching

the culprit.”

Bowen, finally calmer, released her from the hug and looked at her with a grim expression. From Aubree’s angle,

he looked not pleased.

Bowen asked, “A broken leg? How many legs do you have to spare that you can say it like it's nothing?”

He flicked her forehead. She winced, eyes tearing up.

He continued, “Mild concussion? You think that’s not serious? Why aren’t you in a hospital room resting? Running

around like this?”

Aubree cto tell him she was okay, so he wouldn't panic. That was all.

Aubree was about to fire back with a retort. But when she saw his tear-streaked face, she fell silent.

She apologized, “Sorry. | made you worry.”

Bowen knew she was smart and strategic. She usually had everything under control. But no matter how capable

she was, she was still human. Accidents happen.

His heart grew heavy, and that impulse he'd been suppressing finally broke through. He could help her deal with

the Wilson family. She was already making enough waves as it was, But he was scared that one day, the Wilson

family would strike back. He just wanted to keep her safe somewhere, somewhere that would finally put his mind

at ease.

Bowen's face went through a storm of emotions before he finally swept Aubree up into his arms. “Which room is

yours? Next time, don’t makeworry like this again.”

He added, “I'll find out the truth behind this accident. If you want your condition kept secret, I'll make sure the

public only hears that Aubree might have died in the crash.”

Aubree smiled. “I have a good idea who it was. Trevor must've been pushed too far. Sophia’s death will also be

troublesome.”

She wanted the public to think she was dead. Not only to catch the real mastermind, but also to keep Trevor from

realizing Sophia was gone.

This secrecy wouldn't last long. She needed to act fast. Tto consider making a move on Kate directly
