Chapter 1306
It was two in the afternoon, and there were still two more hours to go.
Not wanting to waste any more time, Gina gave Sonya a call.
The latter answered immediately. “Gina, what is it?”
From Sonya's calm voice, it was obvious that she had no clue about what had happened.
Despite forcing herself to calm down, Gina couldn't stop her voice from quivering. “Are you free? Aubree would like to speak to you.”
Gina's tone puzzled Sonya. “Did something happen? Is it about the engagement? Don't worry. I'll talk to Lucian about it.”
The mention of Lucian's name caused the three Pearsons to feel self-conscious.
Finally, Gina steeled herself to reply, “You'll know when you arrive.”
With that, she ended the call, confident that Sonya would come over.
Just as expected, Sonya arrived at the Pearson residence half an hour later.
When she saw the three gloomy Pearsons in the living room, Sonya's heart sank. “What happened? Why do you all look as if you're at a funeral?”
No sooner had Sonya spoken than Aubree came over and hugged Sonya's leg.
Stunned by the latter's abrupt action, Sonya was about to speak when Aubree preempted her with a voice brimming with despair.
“I'm sorry, Mrs. Farwell! You have to help me. I'll never do it again!”
Aubree's words elicited Sonya's sympathy. “Tell me what happened, and I'll see if there's anything I can do.”
In a choking voice, Aubree explained, “Remember when I told you about Essie getting an infection from the camping trip Roxanne took her on? I was the one behind it!”
Sonya's face darkened instantly. “What in the world happened?”
