“Ah!” cried out Aubree as she violently threw the phone in her hand away. “I’ll ensure that b*tch, Roxanne, regrets the day she was born! She must be the one responsible. She has to be!”
With that, Aubree was about to rush out when. Samuel stopped her in her tracks. “Idiot! Have you forgotten about what happened at the Farwell residence yesterday? Do you actually think it’s a good idea to confront Roxanne now?” rebuked Samuel.
Aubree seemed even madder after listening to that. “You’re my father! Can you really sit by and. do nothing while those people cursed at me online? Since our family has nothing left to lose, I’m going to drag that b*tch down to the abyss with me!”
At that point, Samuel could no longer hold his anger in, so he slapped his daughter so hard that she fell into her bed. “You’re the reason our family is ruined, yet you show no remorse! In fact, you seem more than ready to repeat your mistakes.
Now you listen to me well. I don’t care if you have to kneel before Lucian or grovel at his feet; you will convince the man to stop keeping our family in his crosshair because you’re responsible for this mess! Otherwise, nobody can save you!”
If the Pearson family were to crumble and his daughter was to be subjected to legal procedures by then, Samuel would not be able to do anything even if he wanted to.
Nevertheless, all Aubree could hear after getting smacked was the buzzing sound in her ear. When she finally regained her hearing, the first thing she heard was her father telling her to kneel before Lucian and apologize.
“Fine! I’ll beg for Lucian’s mercy. I’ll go right away!” responded Aubree with nothing but hate in her eyes, and after giving her father a cold glance, she got up and rushed out of the room.
With his eyebrows tightly knitted, Samuel could not help but feel worried when he thought of the look in Aubree’s eyes before she left. Still, there was not much he could do about Aubree, given the situation of his family.
“Aubree!” Gina just so happened to see the swollen-faced Aubree storm out of the room when she arrived at the scene. “Hey, hold up! Calm down! Where are your going?” questioned Gina while trying to catch up with Aubree.
Aubree, however, turned a deaf ear as she rushed out of the house before zooming off in her car.
After witnessing that, Gina returned to the room in a panic to speak to Samuel. “What is Aubree planning to do? Is she going to do something stupid again? You have to stop her!”
“You’re the reason she’s who she is today, so you should figure it out yourself!” uttered Samuel, who was already having an unbearable headache, before striding into the study and slamming the door shut.
Left alone in Aubree’s messy bedroom to stare at the door Samuel had kicked down and the smashed phone, Gina burst into tears.
There was a grimness in Aubree’s eyes when she finally floored the brakes after driving for quite a distance. He expects me to apologize to Lucian? In his dreams! This is all that b*tch’s fault, so why do I have to be the one to apologize? I swear I’ll make Roxanne pay!
Nevertheless, the Pearson family had already run out of resources they could use, so after some thought, Aubree took out her phone and. tried to call Frieda.
When she failed to reach Frieda after several attempts, Aubree sneered and decided to send the woman a message instead: Don’t forget that we’re in the same boat! So far, Lucian knows I added the bacteria, but he has no idea where it came from. How much better do you think your family will do than mine after he finds out about that? In less than a minute after the text message was sent, Aubree received a call from Frieda.
