Chapter 387
“Don’t tell me you’re actually thinking of bringing that woman into the Wilson family!” Ronald snapped.
“Absolutely not!” Trevor shot back without a second thought.
Blood trickled down from the cut on his forehead, sliding down the bridge of his nose. Trevor was easily the best–looking of the Wilson family, and with half his face smeared in blood, he looked even more dangerously alluring. There was a strange, haunting beauty to him.
“The baby in her womb won’t last long.” Trevor said coldly.
“What are you planning to do?” Ronald asked.
“The Yurchenko family is gone, but Milena is still around. I’ve already had someone reach out to her. Milena is a very obedient pawn.” Trevor sneered, his lips curling into a cold smile.
He thought, ‘She is a pawn that would attack whoever I point to.
Seeing that Trevor had a plan, Ronald’s expression finally eased. “If you need people or resources, just ask. But make sure you handle things cleanly. Don’t leave behind any evidence.
“You’ve already accomplished enough in the entertainment industry. It’s time to start putting more of your attention on the family. Help out more, and make sure you attend those business parties when you can.”
“Understood,” Trevor replied.
“Go see the family doctor and get that cut taken care of,” Ronald said.

In a shabby rental apartment in Südlichen Strand, Milena sat alone.
“Miss Yurchenko, Mr. Trevor Wilson sent us to bring you to Rithol City,” a man said.
“Bring me to Rithol City? What a joke.” Milena’s face was dark and cold. She was dressed in cheap clothes from a thrift store, her face gaunt and her hair a mess. There was nothing left of the Yurchenko heiress she used to be.
She asked, “The Wilson family used my family, and now that some are dead and some are locked up, they suddenly remember me? Do they think I’m still useful to them?”
Milena let out a self–mocking laugh. Deep down, she knew that the occasional favors Trevor showed her were just a way to use her. She’d just been lying to herself all along.
What she really hated was how pathetic she was. Even though the Wilson family had ruined her perfect life, even though it was all Trevor’s fault, she still couldn’t bring herself to hate him.
Milena’s hands trembled slightly. When Trevor’s subordinate finally found her, she actually felt a rush of excitement.
Just knowing he still remembered her made her heart race.
The man said, “Miss Yurchenko, you’ve misunderstood. Mr. Wilson actually regrets having used you in the past. It’s just that he really can’t stand Aubree,
“You don’t know what Aubree did back when she was living with the Wilson family. She made Mr. Wilson absolutely sick. You know better than anyone what he is like.
“Ever since Aubree came back from the orphanage, she’s been staring at him with these clingy, gross eyes.”
Milena’s gaze flickered for a moment.
The man was secretly pleased, but put on a face like he’d said too much. “Why am I telling you all this? Mr. Wilson doesn’t want you to know. He just told me that once I found you, I should give him a call.”
On the other end of the line, Trevor said something. As Milena listened, the numbness in her eyes slowly faded, replaced by a spark of excitement. By the time the man hung up, her whole demeanor had changed. She looked at the man and said, “I’m coming with you to Rithol City.”

Chapter 387
After Sophia enjoyed herself in the Wilson family for a few days, Carmen finally managed to get a moment alone with Sophia.
“You don’t seriously think you’re going to safely give birth to that baby, do you?” Carmen said, her voice laced with mockery.
Sophia was having coffee in the Wilson family’s backyard when a mocking voice sounded from behind her.
She reached out and touched her belly, a smug smile on her face. “Well, so far, that’s exactly what’s happening, Miss Wilson,
“Sorry, I almost forgot that you’re not the only daughter of the Wilson family. You’re just the adopted daughter.”
If this had happened before, Carmen would’ve lost her cool right away. Being called the adopted daughter was the thing she hated most.
She thought, ‘Adopted daughter? I’m Carmen Wilson. I’m the one and only daughter of the Wilson family!”
But now, after everything she’d been through, she kept her feelings buried even deeper.
Carmen gave a cold, fake smile, arms crossed. “Once that baby in your belly is gone, you’re nothing.”
