Her face contorted with anger when she saw Farwell Group’s new announcement trending. On top of that, the announcement clearly stated it was Aubree’s personality that caused the annulment of the engagement.
How could Lucian do this to me? A netizen commented: I’ve met Aubree before. Sure enough, she’s not all that great. She always looks down on others as if we’re inferior to her.
Another comment read: I heard Aubree even scolded the daughter of the Farwell family and called her Little Mute. Back then, I thought I’d gotten the wrong person because they hadn’t called off their engagement yet. Now that I see it, it’s definitely Aubree. No wonder Mr. Farwell wants to renounce the engagement.
The more Aubree read, the darker her expression grew. Everyone, no matter their identity, was stepping out to criticize her.
Hmph! What do they know? It’s all Roxanne’s doing! Who knows what she said to Lucian? It’s clearly that b*tch’s fault. What right do they have to criticize me?
Aubree was seeing red. Just as she was about to contact the media company to attack Roxanne again, the person in charge beat her to it. “You called me at the perfect time. I want you to post the news from this-”
Before she could even finish, the person on the other end of the line questioned, “Ms. Pearson, didn’t you say our company won’t be affected? What’s happening now?”
Aubree froze for several seconds before frowning. “What’s wrong? What happened?” The person in charge sounded as if he was hiding somewhere. Although his voice was soft, his anger was notable.
“The assistant of Farwell Group’s CEO brought his men to our company and even showed us evidence of our illegal acts from the past. They want to send us to jail. They even seized our company!”
Suddenly, Aubree felt a chill run down her spine. The person in charge continued, “And now, our company’s bankrupt. I’ve lost all my money! Where’s the balance of the ten million you promised? Transfer it to me now! I’m going to go into hiding with that-”
Before he could finish, Aubree hung up..
It took her a while to register the fact that Cayden had brought his men to the media company. Does that mean Lucian knows it’s my doing already?
The thought of that possibility made her break out in a cold sweat. Lucian said he wanted to send me to jail for attacking Roxanne earlier. He’ll never let me off the hook if he finds out I’m the one behind this again.
As she was feeling fearful and uneasy, her broken room door was suddenly pushed open. At that, Aubree hastily put away her phone and gazed at the door. All she saw was her father marching over with a gloomy expression.
“Dad…”
Aubree was already feeling extremely guilty. Her voice trembled more when she noticed Samuel’s expression. Glowering at her, Samuel fumed, “What did you do again?”
Aubree shuddered, and her subconscious self decided to hide the truth. “What are you-”
To her horror, Samuel grabbed her by the neck and lifted her up from the bed before she could finish. “If you did nothing, why would Lucian suddenly tell me to watch you carefully? If you did nothing, why would he suddenly tell me Pearson Group would face worse consequences? Do you take everyone for a fool?”
Samuel’s eyes were bloodshot as rage surged in his heart. Aubree could barely breathe. “Dad, let me go… I was wrong…”
