Aubree’s joy did not last long, for the tables had turned that evening. Farwell Group made an announcement again, clearly stating the reason for the annulment of the engagement between the Farwell and the Pearson family. At the same time, it also contained a warning for the people who contributed to the discussions on the internet.
One specific line in the announcement caused an uproar on the internet. It read: The Farwell and the Pearson family have annulled their engagement due to Aubree’s personality that is unfit for the role of Mr. Lucian Farwell’s wife.
Someone wrote: The Farwell family must’ve toned down their words. They’re a big family, after all. I bet Aubree has done something disgusting behind their backs. Farwell Group is already sparing her dignity by saying it’s a personality problem.
Another wrote: So, who’s the problem now? Aubree or Roxanne?
Someone replied: Do you still need to ask that? Didn’t Farwell Group explain everything clearly in the announcement? It’s Aubree, of course! Who knows? She might even be the one who orchestrated the entire discussion on the
internet. Suddenly, the netizens began discussing among themselves. Although the public was still curious about Archie’s and Benny’s identity, no one dared to bring it up after reading Farwell Group’s warning.
Roxanne secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw things had finally calmed on the internet. Even though Lucian had promised her he would settle that matter, she did not think it would be done so quickly.
Moreover, Lucian had filed lawsuits in the name of Farwell Group against those who slandered her. That was basically announcing their relationship to the public.
A peculiar feeling arose within Roxanne when she thought about that. Since the matter had already been resolved, there was no reason for her to keep the boys’ laptop, so she returned it to them.
After they got their laptop back, the first thing the children did was check the discussion on the internet. Thanks to Lucian’s warning, the disrespectful posts toward Roxanne had been completely removed from the internet.
Farwell Group’s latest announcement was at the top of the trending list. Everyone who clicked on it could see the announcement. Naturally, the boys discovered it as well.
First, the children noticed Lucian had indirectly called Aubree out for having a poor personality, which made them applaud him. As expected, this has to be handled by Daddy. The effects wouldn’t be the same if we took care of it.
Next, they learned that Lucian was gathering evidence and filing lawsuits against those involved in the discussions. Upon reading that, they naturally took up the responsibility to help collect evidence.
In less than half an hour, the children compiled all the evidence in a compressed folder and sent it to Farwell Group anonymously. They would not let those netizens who insulted Roxanne off the hook..
One of the most crucial pieces of evidence in the compressed folder was the proof of Aubree transferring money to a media company. It was only fifty million. The remaining balance of ten million had yet to be transferred.
Meanwhile, Cayden reported to Lucian the moment he received the compressed folder. The evidence of Aubree bribing the media company made Lucian’s blood boil, In fact, he had guessed the same thing and had assigned someone to look into it.
Never did he expect someone to find the evidence faster than them. Taking in Lucian’s infuriated look, Cayden prompted carefully, “Mr. Farwell…”
“Since this company loves money so much that they’d go against Farwell Group for it, we’ll make them pay with all the money they earned,” Lucian said coldly. Cayden nodded grimly.
Of course, he knew Lucian was not just referring to the five million Aubree transferred. It also included every cent the company had earned ever since its establishment.
How dare they bully Mrs. Farwell! That company won’t be able to survive in the industry anymore!
Just as Cayden was about to leave to execute his orders, Lucian’s voice rang out behind him again. “Where did the compressed folder come from?”
Lucian eyed the computer screen. Everything in the folder was more detailed than the evidence gathered by Farwell Group’s technicians. It even contained the personal information of the users who made the worst insults.
If Farwell Group were to file lawsuits, every single one of them would surely have to face punishment by the law. Lucian’s curiosity was amplified when he recalled the same person had taken action twice.
Whether the anonymous person was simply targeting Aubree or doing it to protect Roxanne, Lucian had no clue. If it were the latter, then he had to find the person. Cayden looked conflicted when he heard. Lucian’s question. “The technician’s still looking into it.”
This person must be the same one who posted the discussion this morning. Alas, he did not know who that person was.
Farwell Group’s technicians were among the best in the country. The supervisor of the department, especially, ranked third on the list. of hackers.
Still, he could not find the identity of the anonymous person. While Cayden was feeling curious about the anonymous person’s identity, he felt nervous for Lucian too.
After all, Roxanne had disappeared for six years. Now that she had returned, many outstanding men had begun appearing in her life. I wonder what this hacker’s relationship with Mrs. Farwell is. Don’t tell me he’s going to fight with Mr. Farwell for Mrs. Farwell’s heart…
Lucian’s expression grew darker as he ordered frostily, “File lawsuits against everyone listed in the name list. One more thing, find the anonymous person no matter what it takes.”
Even if Lucian did not care about Roxanne’s relationship with the anonymous person, he still wanted to find out the reason for the latter to make such a move. After all, the person had great hacking skills.
Who knows? He might attack Farwell Group one day if I let such an elusive hacker roam freely. Cayden acknowledged it at once. “Understood. I’ll execute your orders right away.”
With that, he left hastily. That night, Ocean Media officially announced its bankruptcy. At the same time, Samuel received a call from Lucian. Thinking Sonya had actually begged Lucian for mercy on their behalf, Samuel answered it with anticipation. “What’s the matter, Lucian?”
Lucian’s voice was laced with anger as he warned, “Mr. Pearson, you’d better watch your daughter and stop letting her do stupid things that test my limits. If not, Pearson Group will face worse consequences than this.”
The anticipation within Samuel was instantly doused by Lucian’s words. Horrified, he asked, “What did Aubree do? Please tell me the details. I promise I’ll teach her a lesson.”
“You don’t even know what she’s done? Looks like your apology that day was just a perfunctory one. If that’s the case, don’t blame me for not sparing your dignity one last time.”
Samuel’s heart was flooded with panic. To his dismay, Lucian had already hung up before he could even ask more questions. Recalling Lucian’s words, Samuel flew into a rage.
Aubree again! She has only gone out this morning. What stupid thing has she done this time to make Lucian so mad? Upon hanging up, Samuel stormed up the stairs.
Aubree was sitting in her bedroom, looking grim. As soon as she had contacted the media company, she had gone home and happily watched the drama unfold. Little did she expect the tables to turn again that night.
