The question only served to infuriate Aubree further. “Lucian told me about it!”
The answer shocked Frieda. “Really? There’s no way he would tell you something like that.”
Her words caused Aubree to glare at her, cowing her into silence.
Knowing Lucian, she felt that once he had decided to leave Estella with Roxanne, he would definitely not allow Aubree anywhere near his daughter.
Therefore, she found it hard to believe that Lucian would tell Aubree the truth.
With a scowl on her face, Aubree explained, “He didn’t say it. Instead, he mentioned that Essie was with Mrs. Farwell, who didn’t bring up the matter with me. It’s evident that he’s lying!”
Frieda found the situation to be equally suspicious.
Nonetheless, fearful that the hasty Aubree would make a mistake, she advised, “Why don’t you give Mrs. Farwell a call? Essie might really be there.”
When the scowl on Aubree’s face deepened, Frieda quickly changed her tact.
“If Lucian has lied to you, you should also tell Mrs. Farwell about it. Doesn’t she deserve to know since Lucian sending Essie to Roxanne’s side is a serious matter?”
Knitting her brows, Aubree began to waver upon hearing Frieda’s words.
She’s right. I can still complain to Sonya.
With that thought in mind, Aubree gave Sonya a call.
The latter answered quickly. “What’s the matter, Aubree?”
