Upon hearing that, Aubree pushed her guilt aside and snapped, “What are you saying, Lucian? My dad is still angry right now. How can I go back?”
How can I leave so easily when it took me so much effort to move into the manor?
Unfazed, Lucian looked at her emotionlessly. “Then go to a hotel. The entire manor has only been disinfected one time. I don't know if there are more bacteria hiding around, but what I do know is that if I let you stay here despite knowing you might get infected, I wouldn't know what to tell the elders.”
Although what he said were words of concern, he sounded apathetic.
A chill ran down Aubree's spine.
She wasn't stupid, for she knew that it was just an excuse from Lucian to chase her out.
Sadly, she didn't have any valid reasons to insist on staying.
At that realization, she started hating Estella for recovering so fast. I should've let her suffer more!
“I'll wait for you in the car.” Lucian didn't plan to give Aubree a chance to speak. He left the mansion right after he finished his sentence.
Aubree gritted her teeth in anger as she watched him leave. I did all this because I wanted to teach that little b*tch a lesson, yet I was hoisted by my own petard and gave Lucian a valid reason to chase me away! Looks like I have no other choice but to leave.
Aubree stood at the same spot for a long while before she went upstairs unwillingly to pack her stuff.
When she saw Estella's towel that she had swapped back last night, she clenched her jaw and stuffed it into her luggage furiously.
She had planned to get rid of the thing in the morning until Lucian denied her of the chance to do so.
As such, she could only take the risk and leave the building with the evidence.
Not wanting to leave, Aubree intentionally packed her things slowly.
Catalina showed up at the door after some time and asked politely, “Do you need my help, Ms. Pearson? Mr. Farwell has been waiting for you downstairs for a long time.”
