As she had not been speaking much to Aubree during this period of time to prevent the Farwell family from finding out about their lies, she did not have the slightest clue about Aubree’s situation in the Farwell residence.
Aubree threw her luggage to the side and had a scowl on her face as she sat on the couch.
Gina could not stop glancing at the door.
They had staged this act in an effort to change Lucian’s mind.
Since Aubree had returned, Gina reckoned Lucian must have changed his mind and sent Aubree home.
Yet, she did not see his future son-in-law at all.
“Stop looking! I came back alone,” Aubree snapped, knowing what her mother was thinking.
Surprise flashed across Gina’s eyes when she heard that, and she rushed to sit on the couch. “What’s going on? Did you fight with Lucian again?”
Without waiting for Aubree to respond, Gina began, “It wasn’t easy for you to move into the Farwell residence. Didn’t I tell you to control your temper to appease Lucian?”
Aubree looked daggers at her mother. “Am I not humble enough in front of Lucian?”
In the past six years, she had been like an entirely different person compared to her normal self when she was in front of Lucian.
I’m not inferior to that b*tch in any way. I’m more obedient than that b*tch too! But Lucian is just so madly in love with that b*tch. There’s nothing I can do about that!
“I’m so sick of pretending in front of the Farwell’s every day!” Aubree slammed the couch angrily.
Despite feeling sorry for her daughter, Gina said, “Aubree, we’ve been waiting for so many years. Wouldn’t it all be for nothing if we gave up now?”
She sighed and continued, “How can I bear to let you suffer this grievance? Think about it, after a storm comes a calm. It will all be worth it after you get married to Lucian. We will have anything we want.”
Aubree furrowed her brows and clenched her fists.
It’s not like I want to give up; it’s just that Lucian is not giving me the chance.
Aubree’s phone suddenly vibrated twice when they were talking. Both of them turned to look at the phone in unison. Aubree glanced at it and knew the private detective had sent more photos again.
A grim look appeared on her face when she thought about the photos she had been receiving these days. Except for the photos from yesterday, all the other photos were basically of Roxanne and Lucian being together.
She had had enough of seeing them getting intimate with one another. A crease appeared between her brows when she tapped on the message to look at the photos.
“What’s wrong? Who texted you?” Gina wanted to say more, but when she saw that Aubree was lost in her thoughts, she craned her neck and saw the photos on the phone. “Isn’t that… the son of the Damaris family?”
Numerous thoughts raced through her mind as she spoke.
A little while later, she asked dubiously, “Are the discussion on the internet some time ago real?”
Did Roxanne really use Jack to join the Damaris family’s project? But if something is going on between the two, there’s no way Lucian…
Gina was bewildered for a long time.
Aubree flashed a mocking smile. “Even you think that those rumors are true. Perhaps these photos can serve some purpose.”
At the very least, it would influence Sonya in the way she desired.
“What do you mean? That guy from the Damaris family and her…” Gina wanted more information.
If Roxanne is actually seeing Jack, there’s no way she can marry into the Farwell family when Sonya is aware of it. It doesn’t matter even if Lucian likes Roxanne.
Aubree narrowed her eyes coldly. “Does it really matter if it’s true or false? It’s true if the key person believes it.”
With that, Aubree quickly switched her SIM card and sent the newly received photos to Sonya.
Gina froze for a few seconds when she watched Aubree’s movements. Then she smiled in relief.
I know my daughter won’t give up so easily, but I didn’t expect her to do so much behind me. I’m curious about Sonya’s reaction when she sees those photos.
Meanwhile, in the Farwell residence, Sonya felt bad for Aubree after sending her off.
She had been trying to convince her son to propose to Aubree for so many years, yet there had been no progress in their relationship.
Instead, Roxanne had been playing with her son’s feelings.
As a woman herself, Sonya felt very bad for Aubree, who had sacrificed a lot.
Elias descended the stairs and was ready to head to the company to settle some matters when he saw his wife’s troubled expression.
At the sight of him, Sonya got up and walked to him. “You’re heading to the company?”
Elias gave an indifferent nod.
After a brief moment of hesitation, Sonya asked gently, “I don’t think we can delay Lucian’s marriage with Aubree anymore. Why don’t you speak to him about it? He should listen to you.”
Elias had guessed what was bothering his wife when he came down the stairs.
Sonya had had this expression on her face for the past few days.
Elias held her hand and murmured, “Let him do what he wants.”
Sonya did not expect him to say such words. Elias had consistently backed her even though he had not explicitly stated his stance throughout the years.
Yet now he had made his stance to support his son. “Are we going to let Aubree down after all the years she has waited?” Sonya tried to persuade him.
Elias knitted his brows, and a hint of helplessness appeared in his eyes. Both of them are my family, yet their opinions are clashing now.
After a moment of silence, Elias sighed and uttered, “You guys can do whatever you want. I’m not good at dealing with situations like these. I still have things to deal with at the company. You can have lunch yourself later.”
Since he had to deal with work, Sonya could only send him to the door reluctantly. Although she felt slightly dissatisfied, she still reminded gently, “Come back early tonight. Don’t wear yourself out.”
Elias nodded and drove away. Just as Elias’ car disappeared from sight at the entrance of the door, the butler’s voice rang beside her ear. “Mrs. Farwell, you seemed to have received a message on your phone.”
Sonya turned around in confusion after hearing this. Her heart sank when she tapped on the screen and saw the unknown number.
She knew this number even though it was an unknown one.
It’s the same person who sent me the photos yesterday, and they’re sending me more photos now.
Sonya felt inexplicably despondent. She hurried over to the couch and tapped to look at the pictures with a scowl.
Roxanne and Jack could be seen chatting happily in the photos.
The location was different from yesterday as those photos were taken in front of Roxanne’s house this time.
The two young boys were standing next to Roxanne and watching them.
Sonya had seen these two children and knew that they were Roxanne’s sons.
So, Jack must be getting along well with her sons.
From the photo, the atmosphere around them seemed quite harmonious.
Sonya’s face fell, and she could not help but think about the discussion on the internet some time ago.
For two days in a row, Roxanne had been with Jack.
Furthermore, they looked intimate.
I’d be foolish to keep wondering if the discussion online was real or not.
With this in mind, Sonya got up furiously.
