“Since you have trouble recalling, I’ll let Mr. Zaythrone remind you of them.” All Lucian feit when he saw her tears was disgust. “If he gets anything wrong, you’re welcome to correct him.”
With that, he gave Cory a look to signal for him to begin. Acknowledging the cue, Cory cleared his throat and spoke. “Ms. Pearson hired me to keep an eye on Ms. Jarvis. She-”
He had barely begun when Aubree lunged at him suddenly. “Shut up! I don’t know you! You’re a madman! I don’t know what you’re talking about. Go to hell!”
Even though her outburst caught him off guard, the physical strength between them was just too great. The moment he regained his senses, Cory easily pushed her away from him. “Stop raving like a lunatic, you shrew!”
Upon crashing to the ground, Aubree snarled, “You’ll suffer divine retribution for this! Do you think the Farwells will let you off just because you snitched on me?”
Cory paid Aubree no heed as he turned to face. Lucian and Roxanne with an ingratiating look.
“Ms. Jarvis, I’m sorry, but I was just doing my job. It was Aubree who forced me to do it. But other than taking a few pictures, I definitely didn’t do anything to harm you.”
As she watched Aubree go wild, a look of realization flashed across Roxanne’s eyes. This was the first time she had seen her lose her composure, for the latter had always appeared aloof.
Soon, a look of conviction formed in Roxanne’s eyes. For harming the children, Aubree deserves to be punished! She threw Cory a cold glance. “What did you capture with your camera?”
Cory was surprised by Roxanne’s quick reaction. He said, “When you took the children camping, I saw Aubree put something into their cups. Also, I was the one who took all those pictures of you and Mr. Damaris on her instructions…”
One by one, Cory listed out Aubree’s misdeeds while Aubree unleashed a constant tirade on him. When he finally finished, Aubree shouted, “I didn’t! That wasn’t my intention. Lucian, you have to believe me!”
Cory looked at her disdainfully. When he first worked with her, she had always put on airs and didn’t show him any respect. And here I was, thinking that she was someone capable. But in the end, she still has to grovel at Lucian’s feet, begging for forgiveness.
Having had enough of the pathetic Aubree, Cory. ruthlessly put the final nail in her coffin. “I have evidence of everything she did in my camera. As for the pictures with Mr. Damaris, I have more pictures of the scene from a different angle. They clearly show that Ms. Jarvis wasn’t sharing an intimate moment with him at all.”
When Cory’s final words rolled off his tongue, Aubree’s voice gradually faded away. All that could be heard from her were sobs of dejection.
“What do you have to say for yourself?” Lucian’s eyes were brimming with contempt. He was simply disgusted by the sight of Aubree. When she raised her head and saw him sitting with Roxanne, Aubree could feel madness take over her mind.
“I didn’t do anything! Roxanne framed me!” Since I’ve lost everything, I’m going to drag her down with me! Aubree’s eyes were burning with rage as she stared at Roxanne, who was seated on the couch.
