“Roxanne, you b*tch! Why are you doing this to me? I’m the one Lucian loved in the first place. It’s all your fault! He left me because you keep pestering him. You deserve to die! I won’t forgive you.
Who do you think you are, taking Lucian away from me like this? He’s going to see your true colors one day. You’re just a piece of trash who’s been bedded by thousands of men.” Aubree pointed at Roxanne. Her
hysterical screams echoed in the mansion hall. “I won’t let you talk about Mommy like that! You evil woman! I hate you! I hate you so much!”
Estella suddenly lost control of her emotions and burst into tears. As she cried, she picked up the things around her and threw them at Aubree. Roxanne hurriedly pulled Estella into her embrace. She was racked with guilt.
I should’ve brought the children upstairs. This kind of situation is too overwhelming for them, especially Essie. She’s already emotionally unstable to begin with.
Estella cried so hard that she could barely breathe properly. “I don’t want the evil lady here! She scolds me and even pinches my arms and legs! Mommy! I want Mommy!”
All Roxanne could feel was her heart aching. She could not even process what Estella was saying. “Calm down, Essie. I’m here. Don’t cry. I’ll help you chase the evil lady away…”
Lucian’s and Sonya’s expressions changed when they heard Estella’s words. Samuel cast Aubree a cold glare. Aubree had lost her mind and was still lashing out verbally.
Samuel shifted his gaze from Lucian to Sonya before he slapped Aubree across the face. “Shut up, you idiot!” This time, Samuel did not go easy on her, which left Aubree dizzy from the slap.
It took her some time to return to her senses. Still, she continued screaming, “How could you hit me? You’re on that b*tch’s side, too, aren’t you?”
Samuel landed another slap on her cheek, which sounded loud and clear. After two slaps, Aubree’s cheeks had swelled. Samuel turned around to apologize to Lucian and Sonya.
“I’m terribly sorry, Mr. and Mrs. Farwell. Aubree has made a terrible mistake. I’ll teach her a lesson when I get home. Please be merciful and not hold a grudge against her…”
Sonya was trembling with anger when she found out how Aubree had been secretly treating her granddaughter. Likewise, a dark look appeared on Lucian’s face. “We’re not the ones you should be apologizing to!”
Hearing that, Samuel turned to Roxanne and the children.
When Samuel was about to part his lips, Lucian’s voice rang out again. “You’re not the one who made the mistake. What are you apologizing for?” The coldness in his tone was palpable. Samuel froze when he heard that.
Several seconds later, he turned around and snapped at Aubree, “Damn it! Apologize to Ms. Jarvis and the children now!” Aubree’s pupils darted around out of fear and madness.
Eventually, the madness got the better of her. She got to her feet stumblingly, murmuring. “Fine. I’ll apologize. I’ll apologize now.” Thinking she was actually going to apologize, Samuel let her walk in front of him without stopping her.
In the next second, Aubree suddenly dashed forward, holding the ashtray Estella had thrown at her earlier. “Roxanne, you b*tch! Go to hell!”
Aubree looked like an utter maniac. At that moment, even the boys who were usually brave were scared senseless, and they watched Aubree charge at them in fear..
