Chapter 1276
Immediately, Sonya whipped out her phone and gave Lucian a call.
At that very moment, Lucian had just left Roxanne’s house after dinner.
The instant he saw that it was a call from his mother, his heart sank. The tenderness on his face was all but gone, replaced by a layer of frost.
“Where are you right now? Make a trip back to the Farwell main residence this instant! I have something to say to you!”
As soon as the call was connected, Sonya’s voice blasted out before Lucian could even utter a single word.
His brows knitted together, and he glanced back at Roxanne’s house, which was brightly lit. It was as though he could still hear the sounds of her playing with Archie and Benny.
Snapping back to reality, he agreed somberly, “Got it. I’ll come over at once.”
In truth, he could more or less guess the purpose of his mother’s call.
Well, she must have learned about my decision to call off the engagement and wants to speak up for Aubree. This time, I’m not going to give in to her anymore. No matter what, I’ll stay firm and sever all ties with Aubree!
With that in mind, he drove off in the dark night and headed toward the Farwell main residence.
Meanwhile, Aubree watched tearfully as Sonya hung up the phone, a forlorn look on her face.
“You don’t have to do this, Mrs. Farwell. Lucian has already made up his mind, and I respect his decision. I only came over and sought you out because I was feeling too heartbroken and wanted to have a good cry. You don’t need to bother about me.”
At the sight of her sniveling, Sonya was both irate and anguished. “What are you saying? I’ve said that you’re the only person worthy to be the mistress of the Farwell family! When Lucian arrives, I’ll definitely teach him a lesson on your behalf!”
Aubree had her head lowered as she sniffled, a fleeting gleam of ruthlessness flashing across her eyes.
She was all too aware that her tactic was despicable beyond words.
However, she didn’t mind using the same method time and again as long as it was effective.
