Chapter 416
Carmen noticed Alice's strange behavior lately, and her gut told her it had something to do with that man from
the other day.
Right now, her biggest support in the Wilson family was Alice. Nothing must happen to Alice.
Carmen went to Daxton, not saying exactly what she needed, just that she had something to check and needed
shelp.. Daxton never said no to her requests, especially something this small, so he readily lent her some
people.
Before she could find out the identity of that man from the other day, she received a message from Ernesto.
Ernesto had completely given up on Aubree, realizing she was a dead end. He didn’t have Ronald's kind of
foolish, oblivious persistence, thinking that being a father entitled him to get whatever he wanted. With the way
Ronald had treated Aubree all those years ago, why would she ever cback to help him?
Uncle Ernesto wants to talk to me? Carmen wondered, feeling puzzled about what Ernesto could want from her.
They met near Carmen's school
Have a seat,” Ernesto said.
“Uncle Ernesto, what did you want to seeabout? Carmen asked. She hadn't really interacted much with the
Diamonde family, but from what she remembered, they weren't exactly close, yet they weren't unfriendly either.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen it cto her and Aubree, they always seemed to take her side just a little more.
“Carmen, do you want to get kicked out of the Wilson family? Or do you want your dad to treat you like some
disposable pawn, marrying you off to whatever rich heir he chooses just to boost the family’s status?” Ernesto
got straight to the point.
Carmen's expression shifted ever so slightly. Of course, she didn’t want that, but with Ernesto’s motives still
unclear, there was no way she was about to let her guard down or show her true feelings.
“So what exactly are you getting at, Uncle Ernesto?”
Ernesto smiled. I'm your uncle. In ancient times, an uncle was the one a prince trusted most when fighting for
the throne. So you really don’t have to be so on guard against me.
“The Diamonde and Wilson families have always had a mutually beneficial relationship, but now, sthings
need to change.”
The bond between the two families used to depend on the lack of conflict between Alice and Ronald. But now
peace had been broken, and Ronald's mind was entirely on Aubree.
In the worst scenawhere Aubree never reconciled with the Wilson family, the Wilson family would have made
powerful enemies like Bree Technology and Turner Group, and the Diamonde family would eventually be dragged
down with them.
And if Aubree did reconcile with the Wilson family, the Wilson family’s control might end up in her hands. The
last tEmesto negotiated with Aubree, it was obvious she hated Ronald and hated Alice even more,
He didn’t believe that if Aubree ever took control of the Wilson family, she would be willing to work with them.
After weighing all the options, having the Wilson family fall into the hands of someone the Diamonde family
could control was clearly the best outcome.
Alice had shares in Wilson Group, too, but she wasn’t someone they could easily control.
From this perspective, Carmen, who held shares and was adopted, had an awkward position in the Wilson family.
This made her the most suitable candidate.
Carmen was stunned, hardly believing what she’d just heard. “You wantto inherit Wilson Group?”
“That's right. As an adopted daughter, you have the slegal rights to inheritance as Bryan and the others.
From what | know, you already hold sshares, and Daxton, who has no interest in Wilson Group, is
unconditionally on your side.”
With the support of Daxton, Alice, and the Diamonde family, Carmen might actually have a chance.

Chapter 416
Among the second generation of the Wilson family, aside from Aubree, the other five each held five percent of
the shares. Alice had seven percent, which Ronald had given her as a wedding gift. Of course, the shares Carmen
held had originally belonged to Aubree.
As the largest shareholder, Ronald only held fifteen percent, and the Diamonde family also held three percent of
Wilson Group's shares,
