On top of that, the announcement clearly stated it was Aubree’s personality that caused the annulment of the engagement.
How could Lucian do this to me? A netizen commented: I've met Aubree before. Sure enough, she’s not all that great. She always looks down on others as if we're inferior to her.
Another comment read: | heard Aubree even scolded the daughter of the Farwell family and called her Little Mute. Back then, | thought I'd gotten the wrong person because they hadn't called off their engagement yet.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNow that | see it, it’s definitely Aubree. No wonder Mr. Farwell wants to renounce the engagement.
The more Aubree read, the darker her expression grew.
Everyone, no matter their identity, was stepping out to criticize her.
Hmph! What do they know? It’s all Roxanne’s doing! Who knows what she said to Lucian? It's clearly that b*tch’s fault. What right do they have to criticize me? Aubree was seeing red.

Glowering at her, Samuel fumed, “What did you do again?” Aubree shuddered, and her subconscious self decided to hide the truth. “What are you—" To her horror, Samuel grabbed her by the neck and lifted her up from the bed before she could finish.
“If you did nothing, why would Lucian suddenly tellto watch you carefully? If you did nothing, why would he suddenly tellPearson Group would face worse consequences? Do you take everyone for a fool?” Samuel's eyes were bloodshot as rage surged in his heart.
