For the first time in her life, panic swamped Aubree. She turned to her mother for confirmation.
“Was Dad telling me the truth earlier, Mom? We're really moving out?”
Gina was likewise exceedingly reluctant to move out. Unfortunately, she had no other choice but to face reality. She nodded with a grim expression on her face. “Yeah. Very soon, we won't be able to live here anymore.”
After saying that, she urged earnestly, “Listen to your father, Aubree. Don't do anything foolish again. Now that the Pearson family has ended up in such straits, we wouldn't be able to help you even if we wanted to do so if something were to happen to you!”
In the past, others might give the Pearson family some respect because of the Farwell family.
At present, however, things had soured between the Farwell and Pearson families. In fact, the Farwell family went just short of announcing that they were the ones who brought the Pearson family down.
Therefore, no one would care about the Pearson family anymore, let alone when the Pearson family had no money then.
Aubree stared at Gina blankly for a few seconds before lifting her eyes and sweeping a gaze over the room that had belonged to her since childhood. In a heartbeat, tears streamed down her face.
“What gives? Why is it that we're even losing our house, yet that b*tch still gets to live in the lap of luxury?”
Hearing her daughter's grievance, Gina panicked. “Calm down, Aubree!”
Regretfully, her words fell on deaf ears. Aubree got to her feet and pushed her mother out of the room.
Subsequently, the door was slammed shut in Gina's face with a bang.
No matter how much Gina pounded on the tightly-closed room door, she received no response from inside. Thus, she could only wait anxiously outside.
Lifting a hand, Aubree wiped her tears dry. She then took out her phone and called Frieda.
At the Queen residence, Frieda was aware of her brother's actions in the past few days.
For that reason, she had been worrying herself sick recently.
