Chapter 762 Sudden Change
Meanwhile, at the Farwell residence, Aubree tiptoed out of Estella’s room while on her phone.
“Don’t worry. I’ve used this drug on someone before. It takes effect once the person takes it,” Frieda claimed
proudly on the other end of the line.
Aubree curled her lips coldly upon hearing that. “That’s good to hear. I’m definitely going to teach her a lesson this
time!”
Only then did Frieda realize she had forgotten to ask about something. “Aubree, who are you going to use it on?”
Feeling impatient, Aubree knitted her brows and uttered indifferently, “That’s none of your business. Anyway, I’m
hanging up. Lucian is back.”

Aubree entered the bathroom and thoroughly washed her hands twice. Through the window, she saw Lucian’s car
roll into the courtyard. She quickly schooled her expression and went downstairs with a smile.
Catalina was preparing dinner downstairs. At the sight of Aubree, she greeted her politely, “Ms. Pearson.”
“Let me help you,” Aubree offered with a pretentious smile.
Catalina had wanted to decline, but Aubree had already reached out and taken away the plate from her hand.
Catalina watched Aubree bustle about, her eyes filled with doubt.
Aubree had often stayed at the Farwell residence over the past few years, but she had never acted so helpful and
attentive.
Yet, she had been going in and out of the house all day that day.
After leaving with Lucian in the morning, she returned shortly before going out again when it was almost lunch.
Upon returning, she stayed upstairs and only showed herself at this time.
What is she up to? Or has she finally matured after the conflict with her family?
Suddenly, Catalina snapped out of it and shook her head hard.
How is that possible? Considering the environment she grew up in, how could she possibly change drastically in one
night?
Just as Catalina was lost in her thoughts, the door to the mansion opened.
Before Catalina could acknowledge Lucian, Aubree walked past her and headed straight to the door.
“Lucian, Essie, you’re back.” Aubree had a bright smile plastered on her face, but her thoughts were the total
opposite.
I hope Essie never comes back! I don’t even need to guess to know that Lucian went to Roxanne’s house again to
fetch this brat. If it weren’t for her, Lucian wouldn’t have had so much time to spend with that wretched woman.

Lucian nodded at Aubree coldly, loosening his tie with one hand while holding Estella’s hand with his other.
He knew how much Estella disliked Aubree, so he could only give the girl a sense of security this way.
When he saw the way Estella looked in front of Aubree, he regretted giving in to Sonya’s request.
“Essie, are you hungry?” Aubree crouched down and looked into Estella’s eyes, pretending to be gentle. “Come,
let’s wash our hands and have dinner, okay?”
Estella shook her head immediately. She grasped Lucian’s hand and hid behind him.
Sensing her fear, Lucian frowned and looked at Aubree frostily. “There’s no need for that. I’ll take care of her. Just
mind your own business.”
Having said that, he looked away from Aubree and walked past her while holding Estella’s hand.
For an instant, a dark look fleeted across Aubree’s face.
