So, doing the math, if something happened to Ronald and his shares didn’t all end up with Bryan, Carmen would
have a genuine chance to contest for control.
*Aubree first sent Emery to prison, and now she’s targeting Trevor. Instead of just watching the Wilson family fall
apart, why not go for it?” Ernesto said.
‘Go for it? Take control of the Wilson family? Carmen thought. | want to. Of course | want to.
Carmen was so excited and nervous that her hands gripped the edge of the table tightly. She'd actually
wondered before if she could be the one to inherit Wilson Group.
Back when MindDrift was just getting started, she never thought she was any less capable than Bryan or the
others. She just never really put her mind to it before.
Carmen was indeed a smart woman. One could see it in her art. Even after Aubree kept knocking her down, she
still managed to keep her cool and do what needed to be done. That was a skill in itself.
MindDrift had a solid vision from the start. If she hadn't been so confident and brushed off everyone else's
advice, there was a good chance MindDrift could have taken off.
“I've thought about it before, she said, her voice low but every word clear as day. “If Aubree can do it, why can’t

“Last semester, | double-majored in finance and management, and by the end, | was getting better grades than

The more Carmen spoke, the more confident she felt. Her voice grew stronger with every word. She looked right
at Ernesto Uncle Ernesto is handingthis opportunity on a silver platter. Why shouldn't | seize it? Why not
me?” she thought.
“Good, that's the spirit. Ernesto gave her shoulder an encouraging pat. “If you want it, then go for it.
“You never had a chance before. Aubree had Bowen backing her up, but now you've gotin your corner.
Those words hit Carmen right in her sore spot. She never thought Aubree was capable. Aubree just had Bowen in
her corner. She felt that if she had someone like that backing her up, she could pull it off, too.
And now, her opportunity had finally arrived.
“Great!” Carmen’s eyes blazed with determination as she thought, I'm a Wilson, too. Why can’t | fight for what's
mine?”
The Wilsons affection could be snatched away at any time. She wasn’t going to

Ernesto nodded, clearly pleased.
settle for that anymore. She’d have her own
“By the way. Mom's been acting weird lately,” Carmen said, recalling Alice’s odd behavior. She recounted what
happened on the first day of school.
“I didn’t see that man’s face, but it was the first tI'd ever seen Mom so rattled. When we were registering,
she was in such a rush to do something else that she didn’t even stay to have lunch withbefore leaving.”
“A man?” Ernesto instantly thought of the guy he'd seen at the last inteconference, the one who looked
almost exactly like Xander.
“Nothing must go wrong with Alice. At least, not now, he mused.
Ronald was already investigating Carmen, but since Ernesto had covered up everything about Xander, there
were still no leads. That man just looked way too much like Xander.
If....if Ronald ever recognized that face... Ernesto thought.
Ernesto couldn't risk it. At a tlike this, nothing must go wrong with Carmen or with Alice.
“Call your people back. You can’t look into this anymore. If your mom finds out, she’ll get mad at you,” Ernesto
said.

Carmen was taken aback. ‘She’d get mad at me? Over sstranger? Just what is so special about that man?”
she wondered.
“Ill take care of this. What you need to do now is focus on learning how to manage a company. Find an
opportunity to join Wilson Group, or prove yourself with sreal results.”
Carmen replied, “Okay.”
Ernesto didn’t stick around any longer. He'd only squeezed in this trip to Rithol City as it was, and now he had to
investigate this new issue involving Alice. Every minute counted.
