After Sonya had a talk with Lucian, she returned home. The first thing she did was call the Pearson residence.
After the news was released, Aubree refused to go into the office and hear all the employees gossip about how good Lucian looked with Roxanne in the photos. Thus, she decided to stay home for the next two days.
When Sonya called, Aubree was right next to Gina.
“I've already spoken to Lucian. Tell Aubree not to worry. This won't happen again. Just rest easy and wait for the engagement!” said Sonya over the phone.
Gina glanced over at Aubree and gestured for her to answer.
Aubree adjusted her mood. In a polite tone, she said, “Thank you, Mrs. Farwell.”
Hearing her voice, Sonya was stunned. Guilt washed over her heart when she thought about how Lucian had mentioned he had no intention of fulfilling the marriage contract with her. “Aubree, I’m sorry you have to go through this.”
Aubree's expression turned ugly.
However, her words remained polite. “I'm fine, Mrs. Farwell. As long as I can be with Lucian, I am willing to bear with all these.”
Sonya felt bad for her. “Don't worry. No matter what, I will only acknowledge you as my daughter-in-law. You can forget about the news yesterday. Everyone thinks the woman in the photo is you anyway, so no one will say anything.”
Aubree responded with more thanks.
After some small talk, the call ended.
Aubree could finally let her heart down.
However, when she recalled how intimate Lucian and Roxanne looked in those two pictures, she couldn't help but feel her anger rise.
Previously, during Alfred’s birthday celebration, Roxanne had already humiliated her once.
Now, she almost ruined Aubree's engagement.
