Meanwhile, at the Pearson residence, Aubree locked herself inside her room without consuming any food or water upon returning from the Farwell residence.
A single thought filled her mind for the entire day. I’m doomed. No one can save me this time. My life is completely ruined! I can’t believe that b*tch, Roxanne, told Lucian to let the police handle this matter. I’d rather die than spend the rest of my life in prison.
The more she dwelled on that, the more furious and terrified she became. As a result, Aubree didn’t pay any attention to the news on the internet. Samuel currently loved and hated his daughter at the same time. Aubree was his only daughter, so how could he have the heart to send her to jail?
If she hadn’t done those foolish things, the Pearson family wouldn’t have met its downfall. Early in the morning, the person in charge of each of Pearson Group’s branch companies flooded his phone with calls.
All of them informed him about their companies’ stocks crashing out of control, and all their business partners requested to dissolve their collaborations.
Regardless of how much Samuel cared for Aubree as her father, the fatherly affection he harbored toward her gradually dissipated as he answered each call.
While he was boiling with rage, Gina, wearing a tear-stained face, rushed into the study. “Samuel, bad news. Hurry up and look at this. How can these people on the internet criticize our family and Aubree in this manner?”
Gina wept almost immediately after reading the news on her phone that morning. The Pearson family had never endured such humiliation since they established their presence in Horington many years ago..
Grimacing, Samuel took her phone and glanced at the screen. He tightened his grip around the device when he read how the netizens berated the Pearson. family to the extent of almost crushing the phone with his hand.
Unfilial daughter! That unfilial daughter! Does she realize how much trouble she has brought to the Pearson family? “What should we do now, Samuel?” Gina gazed imploringly at her husband in a daze.
Samuel was still mad, and in a fit of rage, her shoved her, causing the latter to fall to the ground. “All you know how to do is cry! You’re useless during desperate times.”
With that, he stormed toward Aubree’s room and banged on her door. In a state of shock, Aubree showed no inclination to open the door. The next second, the sound of someone kicking the door reverberated suddenly.
Samuel booted the door as he scolded in a rage, “B*stard! Come out here and see the mess you made! What did I tell you yesterday? I asked you to go to the Farwell residence and apologize nicely. What did you do instead, you incompetent trash? You could’ve secured the position of Mrs. Farwell instead of letting Roxanne seize the opportunity if you didn’t act on your own accord!”
If she hadn’t treated Essie insincerely, the kid wouldn’t have refused to accept her even after so long, and Lucian wouldn’t have delayed fulfilling his promise to marry Aubree for six years!
The more Samuel thought about it, the angrier he got. Overwhelmed by wrath, he successfully kicked down the door.
Aubree’s heart sank when she saw her father standing at the doorway with bloodshot eyes.. He didn’t behave like this when I came home yesterday. Something must’ve happened again.
“What’s the matter, Dad? What happened?” She gazed at her father in panic, wanting to inquire if the police were there to look for her. Before she could do so, Samuel interrupted her, “How dare you ask that question! Look at what you’ve done!”
He flung the phone at her as he spoke. Aubree dodged on instinct, preventing the phone from hitting the corner of her eye. She picked up the device and glanced at the screen.
The discussions on the internet continued refreshing, and the comments about the Pearson family latching onto the Farwell family had sunk to the bottom of the page.
Displayed before Aubree’s eyes were everyone’s compliments toward Roxanne and their disdain toward Aubree as the homewrecker.
