“Since you have trouble recalling, I'll let Mr. Zaythrone remind you of them.” All Lucian felt 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!
