At Timberlake Group, Gareth had been humiliated by Bowen. As an elder, he never expected Bowen to show him
such blatant disrespect. The slight stung his pride, and there was no way he was going to let this slide.
The secretary eyed the file on Aubree sitting on the desk and smirked. “Mr. Timberlake, since Mr. Turner cares so
much about her, we can’t go after him directly-but we can certainly make life difficult for Aubree.”
“Go ahead,” said Gareth.
“Aubree had a falling out with the Wilson family, and it’s Mr. Wilson who's been behind the recent troubles
targeting her company, Bree Technology. We can’t go up against the Turner family, but that doesn’t mean the
Wilson family are off- limits,” he said.
Gareth stroked his chin thoughtfully. “Contact Mr. Wilson for me. I'd like to invite him to dinner tonight.”
He had already gathered quite a few allies. With Jacob still recovering from his injuries, he had ample tto
orchestrate his plans.

Bowen wouldn't budge-he didn’t care about the ties between the two families, but he definitely cared about
Aubree. ‘If | could get leverage over her, it would serve the spurpose,” wondered Gareth.
Aubree remained blissfully unaware of the Timberlake family’s schemes against her. The USB drive Bowen gave
her worked like a charm, instantly resolving the club’s troubles. As for who was really behind it, she had a pretty
good idea-it could only be one of those few suspects.
Aubree saw no point in digging any deeper; it would just be a waste of tand energy.
Her company was thriving. Ronald had tried to crush her with the underage spending scandal, but Aubree turned
the tables and leveraged it to her advantage, further enhancing her public image.
Perhaps stung by this setback, the Wilson family abruptly fell silent.
With the Wilson family no longer causing trouble, Aubree was glad for the reprieve. She was now fully focused on
expanding her company’s gaming division and frequently attended key matches of her esports team in person.
Life kept her busier than ever.
As usual, Aubree was there in person for God's Fury’s decisive S-tier qualifier match.
However, the previous match was Apex Squad’s. When Aubree arrived, she saw them getting steamrolled, the
other team already destroying their Nexus. She hadn’t been following the matches much lately, but she knew
her boys had been killing it, only dropping a single game.
‘Killian is actually on the bench,” she wondered. Aubree was taken aback. She might not like him, but she had to
admit-he was one of the top mid laners right now, and Apex Squad’s heavy investment in him said it all.
But now, Killian wasn’t even in the game.
“What are you looking at?” Alvin leaned over in his team jersey to ask.
Aubree asked, “Why did Apex Squad change their mid laner?”
Alvin shrugged, “They switched him out back in G3. Apex Squad hasn't won a single series since the regular
season started-at this rate, they're probably getting knocked out in Round Two.”
Aubree was genuinely shocked this time-even in her old life, Apex Squad had never performed this poorly.

No wonder Emery looks so grim on the sidelines. But with things going this badly, why isn’t he putting Killian
back in?” Aubree wondered.
“Rumor has it Emery found out Killian was involved in sshady dealings. But since it’s mid-tournament and
he can't take official action, he just benched him,” Alvin explained.
Aubree had sanswers now. “That auclip online accusing us of bribing Apex Squad to throw the match-it’s
almost certainly Killian’s doing.”
Alvin replied, “Figured as much. Apex Squad lost. Tfor us to get ready to go on.”
As the commentator’s final congratulations rang out, the Apex Squad players filed off the stage one by one, their
faces ashen with defeat.
“Who cares about them? We just need to win today’s match,” Aubree thought. Apex Squad’s future was none of
her concern now, and neither was Emery’s.
Backstage, the two teams crossed paths-one, God's Fury, poised for glory; the other, Apex Squad, utterly
defeated.
