Chapter 274
Roxanne went all the way back to the hotel. When she reached the lobby, she saw Aubree sitting on the couch with her
back to the door.
In the past, Roxanne would have politely kept her distance from Aubree.
That day, however, Roxanne didn‘t hesitate to make her way to Aubree because the matter involved Estella. “Has Essie returned?”
Aubree was still in a daze because of what had happened earlier. She didn‘t realize that Roxanne was right in front of her until she heard the latter‘s voice.
Their eyes met, and at that moment, Aubree‘s anxiety was replaced by anger.
It‘s her! Roxanne Jarvis. She‘s the reason Essie is missing!
Roxanne slightly knitted her brows when she noticed the hostility in Aubree‘s gaze. She was confused and was about to ask about it when Aubree suddenly sprang up from the couch.
Aubree pointed at Roxanne‘s nose, yelling, “I can‘t believe you have the audacity to ask that! Essie wouldn‘t have run away if it weren‘t for you. This is all your fault, you b*tch!”
Roxanne turned slightly pale. “What are you talking about?”
How is this my fault? What exactly happened before Essie left?
“What the hell did you drug Essie with to make her so attached to you? All I did was get her a different room. How is any of this my fault?” Aubree roared, her face contorted. There was no telling if she was blaming Roxanne or convincing herself.
Roxanne could barely breathe as the guilt buried deep in her heart began to weigh her down.
So... it‘s really because of me that Essie left? None of this would have happened if I had agreed to take her along... This is all my fault.
