Aubree gritted her teeth in anger. “Let go of me, you ingrate! I have treated you well, haven’t I? How could you side with this b*tch?”
Naturally, Estella held onto her clothing firmly, refusing to let go. Instead, she held on even tighter.
Feeling a stab of anger, Aubree reached out to push Estella away. “Scram! I’ll teach you a lesson after dealing with that b*tch!”
Estella was completely taken aback by her unexpected shove, and if it hadn’t been for Archie and Benny immediately coming to her aid and providing her with the necessary support, she might have stumbled and fallen to the ground.
Roxanne had reached her breaking point with Aubree’s threatening behavior toward the children. She firmly stated, “This is my home and I won’t tolerate any more trouble from you. I’ve already warned you to leave, so I suggest you do so now.”
Aubree let out a derisive snort and spun around to face Roxanne. “You’ve got some nerve to demand me to leave, huh?” she spat. “Have you completely forgotten the promise you made to keep away from Lucian and Essie? What happened to that?”
Roxanne stiffened, not knowing how to reply.
Aubree’s haughtiness grew as she saw Roxanne remain silent. “So why aren’t you responding? Are you tongue-tied? Don’t think that Lucian has fallen in love with you because he brought you to the hospital while you were unconscious. I can assure you that he would have done the same thing for any other person in the same situation!”
Roxanne’s lashes trembled at her words. “Mommy.” Archie yanked gently at the corner of Roxanne’s clothes. He assured her, “Don’t listen to her. Mr. Farwell treats you really well!”
Roxanne pursed her lips, but she said naught at word. Aubree snapped, “Shut up! You know nothing, bast rd. If your mother hadn’t clung to Lucian, he wouldn’t have given her so much as a glance!”
“That’s not true!” Furious, Benny stood before Roxanne in a protective manner. Their actions merely served to increase Aubree’s fury. She stormed forward angrily, ready to punish them for disrespecting her.
Without hesitation, Roxanne stepped forward and pulled the kids behind her. “This is between us. The children have nothing to do with this!”
Aubree was extremely dissatisfied that her scheme had fallen through. In frustration, she lashed out at Roxanne. “This has nothing to do with them? What did they say earlier? Don’t forget that Lucian is engaged to me. Why would he be so kind to you? That was just because you had no shame and clung to him!”
Roxanne’s face turned as dark as thunder. “I have no idea what you’re talking about. Please leave now. Otherwise, don’t blame me for taking. action!”
“You dare hit me?” Aubree screamed, flailing her arms around. “Come, try me! If you dare to lay a hand on me, I’ll definitely let Lucian see what a shrew you are!”
Her provocation caused Roxanne to ball her hands into fists by her sides. The kids were right in front of them, so she didn’t want to cause a huge ruckus.
However, Aubree paid no attention to the children as she continued, “Since they are here, they should also learn what a b*tch you are. Lucian is engaged to me, but you wouldn’t let go of him! Did you forget that you had the boys out of wedlock? You don’t have the right to be with Lucian!”
Roxanne’s expression turned dark. “Are you done!” Aubree looked at her with a cold stare, ready to continue her tirade, but Roxanne stepped. forward, her face emotionless.
Fear crept up Aubree’s throat as she furrowed her brows. The realization that she was afraid of Roxanne made her furious. “Hit me if you dare!” she hollered.
Right after she said that, a cushion was thrown in her face. Aubree stopped talking abruptly. Her face was grim as she faced the direction from which the cushion had been thrown.
Even Roxanne was startled at the turn of events. “Evil woman! Wicked witch! Don’t you dare bully Mommy!”
They were unaware that the children had approached the couch to throw cushions at Aubree. The children weren’t strong enough, so even though they threw a few cushions, only one managed to hit their target…
Even so, Aubree was already heaving in rage. “B*stards!” “Wicked witch! Leave our house now. We might be young, but we’re not afraid of you!”
The children glared at her without fear. Slowly, Aubree’s face contorted in fury. “I almost forgot how you poured water over me before. How dare you provoke me again today?”
She then glowered at Estella. “You ingrate! I must punish all of you today!” “Come at us! We’re not afraid of you!” The kids stuck their tongues out cheekily. “We think you’re the one who’s clinging to Mr. Farwell!”
Those words hurt Aubree’s sore spot. She immediately marched over to them. “You little b*stards! I swear I’ll teach you a lesson today!” The children ran away, not showing any fear toward her threat.
Naturally, Roxanne wouldn’t allow her to hurt the children. Before Aubree could walk past her, Roxanne blocked her path coldly. “Get out of my way!” Aubree snarled. “You failed to teach them, so let me discipline them on your behalf!”
Roxanne refused to budge. “They are my children, and I don’t need your help to discipline them. Besides, I don’t think they did anything wrong.”
Aubree snorted icily. “Well, it’s understandable that they are this rude since they have a homewrecker as a mother.” She had barely finished speaking when a tight
slap landed on her cheek. Shocked filled Aubree’s eyes as she held her cheek. “H-How dare you hit me?” “Why not?” Roxanne retorted frostily.
She then gave Aubree another slap as if to prove her words. Before Aubree had a chance to process the initial shock of being slapped, she was slapped again. She was livid.
“Good job, Mommy!” the kids cheered and clapped excitedly behind her. We have had enough of the wicked woman who keeps causing trouble for Mommy. It is great to see her getting slapped twice!
“You ask for it!” Aubree snapped back to her senses and lunged at Roxanne. Roxanne firmly grasped an acupuncture point on Aubree’s arm, causing the latter to experience discomfort and become feeble.
“I’m not only going to slap you. I also want to remind you that you’re the real homewrecker!”
Roxanne inched nearer to Aubree. In a voice that only the both of them could hear, she whispered, “You merely got engaged to Lucian, but I was his wife back then. If it wasn’t for you, we wouldn’t have gotten divorced!”
That was the first time Aubree heard of that. Cold sweat beaded on her forehead as she gritted her teeth against the pain. “That’s because Lucian loves me! He wouldn’t have married you if it weren’t for his grandpa!”
Roxanne’s eyelashes quivered. Her heart. started wavering, but she quickly tamped her emotions down. Aubree’s actions are too outrageous. I need to solve the problem!
With that thought in mind, Roxanne spoke with a chill in her voice. “Regardless, we were married. If you hate homewreckers, then you should have kept your distance from him instead of becoming one yourself!”
Aubree paled visibly. “You’re being unreasonable!” “You know well if I’m being unreasonable or not.”
Roxanne applied pressure to an acupuncture point on Aubree’s arm. After making sure that Aubree was too weak to resist, she pushed her away.
Aubree sucked in a deep breath as it felt like. her arm was going numb from the pain. However, she mustered her courage to avenge herself as she could not tolerate the insults she had previously earlier.
Right when she pounced on Roxanne with the latter retaliating by applying pressure to her acupuncture point, a commotion sounded at the door of the mansion.
“Aubree!” Frieda had finally arrived. She hurried into the mansion and saw the chaotic scene. Without hesitation, she shoved Roxanne away. “Are you crazy? Can’t you have a civil discussion?”
Roxanne had applied pressure to acupuncture points on both Aubree’s arms, causing her so much pain that she could barely stand. Frieda had to step in to help her, steadying her so she wouldn’t fall.
“You’re crazy!” Aubree shot Roxanne a vicious glare. She turned to Frieda and complained, “She’s nuts!”
