Meanwhile, Aubree was sitting in her bedroom with a gloomy expression on her face.
The Queen family! It turned out to be the Queen family!
While busy handling the mess in the past few days, she didn't forget to investigate the culprit sabotaging things behind the scenes.
Initially, she thought that it would be some other family who seized that opportunity to hit them while they were down.
Never had she imagined that it would be Jonathan.
She could surmise without even having to ponder upon the matter that it was definitely Lucian who instructed him to do so.
If he hadn't received an order from the latter, he wouldn't have had the guts to make a move rashly.
Ah, Lucian! I never expected him to be so ruthless to me that he's determined to push me to a dead end!
As she was fuming, her room door was suddenly pushed open.
Snapping back to her senses, Aubree snapped her eyes up and swung her gaze in the direction of the door.
Just when she had made out the person who barged in, a slap from Samuel sent her tumbling back onto the bed.
“Samuel!”
Gina had also been exhausted in the past few days because of the Pearson family's downfall. Coupled with the blow she suffered earlier upon learning that they would have to move out before tomorrow, she was pitifully weak in the legs.
By the time she finally arrived at Aubree's room, she was greeted by the sight of Samuel slapping their daughter.
Although Aubree had done something wrong, she was still Gina's flesh and blood. It was as though that slap from Samuel struck her squarely, for her heart abruptly clenched. In a flash, strength infused her legs, and she sprinted over to shield her daughter.
“Get out of my way! I'm going to teach this imbecile a lesson today!” Samuel snarled coldly.
