Chapter 1021 Pain
That very night, Gina and her husband brought Aubree back to the Pearson residence. “You got hurt. Just stay at home for the time being,” Gina said to her daughter as she sat on the edge of the bed. There was a strange expression on her face.
Aubree glanced at Gina as fury rose in her heart. “My plan backfired, so you don’t want me to head out and get mocked by others, do you?”
All these years, her parents had been regarding her as an item. They wanted nothing more than to marry her to Lucian. Despite sharing their sentiments, Aubree was disappointed to be raised by such parents.
Besides, they didn’t offer her any help at all. Gina stiffened for a few moments before regaining her composure. “How could you say that? I’m worried about you. Look, your leg is hurt. There’s no way you can go out like this.”
Aubree gritted her teeth and balled her fists. She refused to admit defeat. Why did Lucian spend the entire night with Roxanne despite her minor cold but refuse to spend time with me when I am injured?
The more Aubree thought about it, the more furious she got. Gina was about to say something when Aubree announced angrily, “No. This has to get out!”
Gina looked at Aubree in confusion. “Why?”
Aubree had fallen down when she went to visit Lucian and had been turned away at the door. Besides, the two had been engaged for six years and had yet to set a wedding date. If the public were aware of these facts, they would likely draw their own conclusions and mock the Pearsons for trying to benefit from their association with the Farwells but failing to do so. Gina wanted to avoid this embarrassment for Aubree and the Pearson family.
Remembering the rumors circulating online, she felt a twinge in her heart. However, Aubree appeared both determined and mad. “If I don’t tell Sonya about this, she’ll never know I was hurt!”
She finally realized that Lucian would never fall in love with her. Her only hope was to gain Sonya’s sympathy and marry into the Farwell family with her blessings.
The only way to do that was to spread the news about her injury so that Sonya would know how Lucian treated her. It was only then that Gina realized what Aubree was getting at. However, she still had her doubts.
She knew they would have to come up with a new explanation before spreading the news. Even so, after word got out, there would be a risk that someone might uncover the truth. She was worried that their secret might be discovered.
“Lucian isn’t speaking with that b*tch right now. If I miss the opportunity…” Aubree’s expression turned icy.
“Okay. I promise Mrs. Farwell will be informed about your injury by tomorrow morning,” Gina said.
Aubree gave a satisfied nod in response.
Gina showered her care and concern on Aubree briefly before leaving her room.
Aubree was the only one left in the room.
The moment the door closed, a deranged expression took over Aubree’s face.
Her injured ankle was in a cast, but it still caused her pain.
The pain was a reminder of how Lucian had treated her in the past few days.
She had loved him for years, yet that was what she got in the end.
She refused to accept her fate. She had wasted her youth on him and didn’t want to let it go to waste.
Even though Lucian would never love her, she still wanted to be his wife and the lady of the Farwell family.
