With that, Aubree was about to rush out when Samuel stopped her in her tracks.
“Idiot! Have you forgotten about what happened at the Farwell residence yesterday? Do you actually think it’s a good idea to confront Roxanne now?” rebuked Samuel.
Aubree seemed even madder after listening to that. “You’re my father! Can you really sit by and do nothing while those people cursed at me online? Since our family has nothing left to lose, I’m going to drag that b*tch down to the abyss with me!”
At that point, Samuel could no longer hold his anger in, so he slapped his daughter so hard that she fell into her bed. “You’re the reason our family is ruined, yet you show no remorse! In fact, you seem more than ready to repeat your mistakes. Now you listen to me well. I don’t care if you have to kneel before Lucian or grovel at his feet; you will convince the man to stop keeping our family in his crosshair because you’re responsible for this mess! Otherwise, nobody can save you!”
If the Pearson family were to crumble and his daughter was to be subjected to legal procedures by then, Samuel would not be able to do anything even if he wanted to.
Nevertheless, all Aubree could hear after getting smacked was the buzzing sound in her ear.
When she finally regained her hearing, the first thing she heard was her father telling her to kneel before Lucian and apologize.
“Fine! I’ll beg for Lucian’s mercy. I’ll go right away!” responded Aubree with nothing but hate in her eyes, and after giving her father a cold glance, she got up and rushed out of the room.
With his eyebrows tightly knitted, Samuel could not help but feel worried when he thought of the look in Aubree’s eyes before she left.
Still, there was not much he could do about Aubree, given the situation of his family.
