Chapter 405
Aubree said, “Obviously, this isn’t the only thing I've got planned. Oh, by the way, I've got a class reunion
coming up in a few days.
She didn’t really hang out with her classmates much, but since they were all from Rithol University, it never hurt
to build
more connections
Maybe one of them would end up as her trusted right-hand or even a business partner someday
Ever since her birthday, she'd basically been living at Ellis Heights. If Bowen was out of town on business and
she was too lazy
go back there alone, she'd just crash at her own apartment instead.
“Alright, just givea call when it’s time, and I'll cpick you up,” Bowen said.
Trevor was surprisingly patient. Instead of rushing to clear his name, he stayed by Sophia's side the whole time.
He got caught on camera.
The reporters camped out at the hospital entrance snapped pictures of him looking rough. He was unshaven,

A person commented online: [Oh my god, is that really Trevor? He looks so worn out!]
Another person wrote: [Those trolls online are really too much. Trevor's just as heartbroken about losing the baby
as anyone else!]
A third person commented: [I live near the hospital, and for the past few days, I've seen Trevor coming out to
buy food that’s supposed to be good for women recovering from a miscarriage. He's really looking after her.]
Someone else wrote: [Damn, my heart aches for you, man!]
No matter what, good-looking people would always look good in any condition Trevor wasn’t even really a mess.
He was just putting on a sad act, but he still looked every bit the star he was supposed to be.
His whole “playing the victim” move totally worked. The online hate against him flipped almost instantly.
Then, Trevor's stureleased a statement saying that, due to spersonal issues, he was putting all business
activities on hold for now. Still, out of consideration for his fans and the media, he would agree to do a single
interview.
Aubree thought to herself, ‘Pretty clever,
“Retreat to advance, huh? Trevor really knows how to pull a slick move.
She glanced at the latest news, a cold smile tugging at her lips,
On camera, Trevor had tidied himself up a little, but the bloodshot eyes and dark circles under them were still
painfully obvious. The reporters interviewing him couldn’t help but feel a wave of sympathy.
“Trevor, sometimes you just have to let things go,” one of them said softly.
He gave a faint, bitter smile. “It’s fine. Askanything you want.”
The reporters, who'd choping for an exclusive scoop, suddenly hesitated. Any question they asked now
would just be twisting the knife in Trevor's wounds. They felt that someone as perfect as him shouldn't have to
go through this.
Thevor said, “Not going to ask anything? Guess I'll just say a few words myself, then.
“I know what the internet's saying right now-people are speculating that | set up Sophia’s miscarriage on
purpose, that 1 dragged her to meet Aubree even though everyone knows Aubree and | don’t get along.
“Since Milena likes me, people suspect that it must've beenwho arranged for her to show up too.

“Yeah, but con- -do you really think I'm that dumb? It was Sophia who wanted to meet Aubree in the first
place. | only tagged along because | know Aubree isn’t exactly my biggest fan.
“I was worried something might go wrong. Besides, Aubree’s still my sister. She’s the baby’s aunt, after all.”
He paused for a moment and let out a long sigh. “Milena was honestly the last person | expected to turn on me.
“We didn’t know the Yurchenko family would end up like that. Our families did have sconnections-you could
tell from our previous investments.
“But we never expected them to turn out like that. As for Milena, | really think she’s innocent. She’s always been
a fan of mine, so | just tried to help her out and brought her over to Rithol City to look after her
Online, people were saying Milena was someone Trevor had planted himself. The main reason for that rumor was
that Milcha was supposed to be in Stdlichen Strand. It was unknown how she suddenly showed up in Rithol City
and knew exactly where Trevor was.
He was basically clearing that up now.
“I never saw this coming, | really didn’t... Trevor's voice was choked with emotion, and the reporter from earlier
looked at him, eyes brimming with sympathy and heartache.
Just when Trevor thought the interview was about to wrap up smoothly, a sudden voice broke the silence.
“Trevor, how do you explain the fact that it was actually abortion pills that caused Sophia's miscarriage?” the
voice demanded.
