Mission To Remarry Chapter 1277 Sonya was promptly stunned by Lucian’s resolute demurral.
When she registered the meaning of his words, her fury blazed even hotter. “Your attitude is a blatant disregard of Aubree waiting for you for the past six years! Instead, you're getting together with that woman who abandoned her husband and daughter! Have you ever considered Essie’s feelings? And have you ever given any thought to the Farwell family’s reputation? If news were to get out that the CEO of Farwell Group married a woman with two kids, how would others perceive the Farwell family? And if they were to learn that Roxanne is the mistress of the Farwell family who left without a word six years ago, what would they think of us?” All the while, she shot daggers at her son.
I'll never allow the Farwell family to have such a scandal! When Lucian heard his mother insulting Roxanne, a flash of displeasure flitted across his eyes.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtYet, in consideration of the fact that the woman in front of him was his own mother, he kept his temper in check and merely retorted coldly, “I don’t care!” Sonya was so livid that the veins at her temples throbbed. “How could you say that? You're messing with the reputation of the Farwell family!” At that accusation, Lucian quirked a brow.
So what if | am? | can afford to risk it. Even if the Farwell family were affected by this matter, I've got the confidence to fix everything! But then, there's no need to tell her that. Judging from her worked-up state right now, she’ll probably keel over upon hearing that.
As he listened to his mother’s nagging, he chillingly swept a gaze over Aubree at the side.
I wonder what else this woman has said to her.
Seemingly noticing that he had glanced at Aubree, Sonya finally turned the subject back to the latter.
“Aubree merely went to pick Essie up out of the kindness of her heart. What did she do wrong? Her arm was injured in the past, yet Roxanne showed her no mercy!” She was so incensed that she even wanted to rush forward and grab Aubree’s arm unceremoniously to show Lucian the latter's injury.
Nonetheless, the last shred of her sanity remained, and she curbed that impulse. She continued questioning her son, demanding, “Have you forgotten how she got injured?” By then, a trace of impatience colored Lucian’s voice. “I haven't forgotten.” Hearing that, Sonya wanted to carry on along those lines, but his subsequent remark stopped her short.
“However, I'm still investigating that matter. The reason for her injury still needs to be verified. She might not necessarily have sustained it from saving you.” Lucian’s gaze fell on Aubree once again, his gaze scrutinizing.

Meanwhile, Sonya gaped at her son incredulously. “How could it be fake when | witnessed it with my own eyes? Don’t ever say such a thing again!” “Why can’t it be fake? Can you guarantee that every single word she says to you is true?” Lucian riposted impassively.
The moment his words rang out, both Sonya’s and Aubree’s expressions changed.
Sonya went silent for a few seconds, her gaze flickering for a fleeting second.
At the end of the day, she didn’t trust Aubree completely.
As such, she couldn’t answer her son in the affirmative.
In the end, she forcefully changed the subject. “If you insist on calling off the engagement with Aubree, givea reason | can accept! Otherwise, I'll never agree to it!” As Aubree heard the wavering in her voice, she lifted her eyes and cast her gaze over, stunned. Tears stained her face, rendering her utterly pitiful.
