NovelEnglishChapter 497
Aubree took her seat with Nina and Vincent. Initially, she was a bit annoyed and disgusted to be seated at the
stable as people she loathed. But the moment she saw the three members of the Wilson family across from
her, glaring at her, her mood improved tically.
She loved seeing people who hated her, people who couldn't stand her, yet couldn’t do a damn thing to her.
Carmen still wore that strange smile. The other two, though, looked like they were about to explode.
Especially Daxton. He looked like he was barely restraining himself from leaping across the table and tearing her
apart, if not for the fact that this was someone else’s engagement party.
Aubree gave them a sweet little smile and mouthed, “Dumbass.”
All three of their expressions changed instantly.
With a bang, Daxton stood up. “Aubree, what the hell is that supposed to mean?”

Aubree looked up innocently. “What did | do to you?”
To everyone else at the table, all they saw was Aubree politely smiling at the trio, and then Daxton suddenly
flipping out. The people around them Immediately began whispering.
“That is Aubree, isn’t it? I've never seen her in person before. She looked familiar, but | didn’t dare assume.”
“The Walton family actually knows her? That's impressive. She's a big deal.”
“Talk about bad luck, running into the Wilson family again.”
Even if they didn’t know Aubree personally, many had heard about her past entanglements with the Wilson
family.
“What's up with Mr. Daxton Wilson? She didn’t even do anything. Why's he so angry?”
“He’s known for being temperamental. Who knows?”
Daxton'’s face was flushed with rage. He knew he’d lost control, but the surge of anger made it hard to stop
himself. He wanted Aubree to pay.
“Enough, Daxion!” Bryan barked. Only then did Bryan sit down again, scowling.
That outburst had exposed Aubree’s identity. Sat the table didn’t care about the , but they cared
about Aubree.
The others at the table quickly leaned in to make conversation. A few from other tables even cover, drinks
in hand.
“You must be Ms. Miller, right? Your startup, GrabCheap really blew us away! | wonder if there's a chance to work
with you someday?”
“Ms. Miller, letintroduce myself. I'm with Longing Investments. Would you be open to having dinner
sometto discuss potential collaboration?”
“To build a billion-dollar company from scratch at such a young age, you're absolutely extraordinary! If my kids
were half as impressive as you, I'd be smiling in my sleep.”
The dishes hadn't even fully arrived yet, and Aubree already had a thick stack of business cards handed to her.
Wanting to keep things cordial, she passed them all to Vincent for safekeeping.
Nina was grinning. “Good thing Mr. Turner isn’t here. Otherwise, seeing this, he'd be drowning in jealousy.”
The teasing reminded Aubree of that drunken night, and her cheeks flushed. “This is all business.”
Just as she sat back down, she caught Daxton’s cold stare. “What are you so pleased about?” he asked, his voice
icy.
The Wilson family had also started getting approached by others, but most of the attention went to Bryan.
Carmen, after being publicly called out
by Aubree at the last investment event and having her project exposed and fail to get funding, had lost a lot of
her shine.
In the business world, many people were clever and capable. Compared to Aubree, Carmen simply didn’t
measure up. And with both Aubree and Bryan sitting right there, very few even acknowledged her.
Carmen was bitter, but hid it well. No matter. Once she was back on top, both Aubree and Bryan would be
beneath her feet.
