Ernesto froze for a moment. This was his first tfacing Aubree directly. Previously, when the Wilson family
talked about her, he hadn't taken it seriously at all.
He'd just thought Aubree was like a kid who couldn't get what she wanted, making a fuss just to get noticed.
Strictly speaking. this was the first tthey were dealing with each other face-to-face.
Aubree’s bluntness made him realize she was even harder to handle than he’d imagined. ‘Does she really not
care about anything anymore? he wondered.
Ernesto said, “But no matter how much you try to deny it, the blood running through your veins is always
reminding you that you're both a Wilson and a Diamonde. Like it or not, we're your family.
“You're not a kid anymore. What's the point of cutting ties? The law doesn’t care about that. When your parents
get old, you'll still be legally responsible for them, right?”
Aubree let out a sharp laugh, like she'd just heard the funniest joke. “Letremind you of something. My legal

As for the Diamonde and Wilson families, don’t you already have Carmen? Why? You don’t want to acknowledge
her as family anymore?”
Ernesto frowned. He hadn't expected Aubree to be this stubborn. Since being tough wasn’t working, he softened

have they?
“If you're willing to cback to us and admit you made a mistake, both the Diamonde and Wilson families will
have your back.”
“Wow, what a tempting deal, Aubree thought mockingly.
A mocking smile tugged at Aubree’s lips. “It doesn’t matter to me. Ever since | left the Wilson family, I've been
ready to fight with you all. Bring it on. If | so much as flinch, you can calla coward.
“Honestly, | never planned to go after the Diamonde family. My beef has always been with the Wilson family and
Alice. But if you really want to pick a fight, | won't mind dragging you all down with them.”
Ernesto thought, Insane! She's absolutely insane!’
He'd tried every trick in the book-nice words, harsh ones-and she still turned the tables on him. Ernesto, who
was used to getting his way in Sudlichen Strand, was livid. With a loud bang, he shot to his feet, knocking his
chair over in the process.
“Fine! So the Wilson and Diamonde families ended up with someone as gutsy as you. | can’t wait to see you
ccrawling back on your knees, begging for forgiveness,”
Ernesto gritted his teeth, and Aubree stood up as well, waving him toward the door. “‘See yourself out. | won't
bother.”
When Ernesto left, his face was thunderous. He thought he’d tried everything-threats, flattery, even putting the
squeeze on Bree Technology earlier. He figured Aubree would at least get a little scared and perhaps say
something nice to smooth things over. Who could've guessed she'd be this unyielding?
That afternoon, as promised, Sheldon showed up with the folks from Windward Group to talk about a potential
partnership. Aubree laid everything on the table. She was completely upfront about being targeted in Stdlichen
Strand.
In fact, even if she hadn't said anything. Sheldon and the others already knew. They were planning to work with
Aubree, so of course, they'd looked into her thoroughly.
Aubree’s honesty left them with a genuinely good impression.
Having a trustworthy person as a partner was definitely worth it.
The Windward Group team was led by their vice president, Lydia Armstrong. As a fellow woman, she truly
admired Aubree, who was so young, yet already so accomplished. “No worries. Once we seal this partnership,
just treat this little issue as our welcgift to you.”
