Chapter 1305
Gina panicked at the sight of her daughter's demeanor. She instinctively turned to look at Samuel.
Samuel remained relatively rational, but he was wearing a grimace. “What did you do?”
Hearing her father's question, Aubree lowered her gaze guiltily, her eyelids twitching uncontrollably.
Even as the situation progressed to that stage, she was still trying to figure out ways to describe her doings with reduced severity.
After contemplating for a few moments, she uttered warily, “I-I contaminated the water Essie drank with bacteria.”
Samuel's and Gina's faces darkened as soon as they heard that.
They had always known Aubree despised Estella and had been mistreating her.
However, since Lucian didn't find out about that, they turned a blind eye to Aubree's misconduct.
Unexpectedly, Aubree's foolishness knew no boundaries.
Noticing the changes in her parents' mood, Aubree quickly added, “I didn't do that on purpose. I was just trying to teach the b*tch, Roxanne, a lesson. I wanted those two b*stards to be infected, but I-I didn't expect Essie's cup to be next to theirs. I got carried away—”
Before she could finish her sentence, Samuel slapped her forcefully. “You fool!”
Aubree covered her face, lowered her head, and stayed silent for a long while.
Samuel panted heavily. He recollected himself for a few seconds before asking again, “Is that all?”
Aubree's eyes flickered. “I did the same thing to Essie once in the past, but I suppose Lucian doesn't know I am the culprit. He doesn't have any evidence!”
Samuel bellowed, “Aren't you aware of Lucian's capability? He'll find out all the information he needs once you expose yourself!”
Aubree became even more agitated. “What should we do? Lucian cares a lot about Essie. He'll never forgive me if he knows I tried to harm her.” Moreover, I even set Roxanne up on multiple occasions. Judging by their current relationship, Lucian will undoubtedly turn my life into a living hell by considering all the horrible things I've done when taking revenge on me!
At that thought, she grasped the hem of her mother's clothes hysterically. “Mom, you have to save me. I was wrong!”
