Chapter 309 No Hope At Pearson Group, Charles was standing in front of Aubree with a frown as he said, “Ms. Pearson, there's someone overseas who's intentionally stopping us from looking into Roxanne’s matter, especially the ones regarding the two children, so—" Aubree cut him off before he could finish, “So you found nothing!” Charles fell silent.
The atmosphere in the office was tense for a moment.

Aubree huffed in anger as she watched the office door close.
It had been days since Lucian himself had told her that he wanted to break off the engagement, yet she still had not gotten anything to blackmail Roxanne with.
If Lucian spreads the news about us breaking off our engagement, it’s highly likely that b*tch is going to be the future Mrs. Farwell. That b*tch was the one who stole my spot six years ago, and six years later, she’s still haunting me! I've already been embarrassed by how Lucian has broken off our engagement.
If the sperson steals Lucian fromagain, others are definitely going to seeas a laughingstock! No! No matter what, I'm not going to let Roxanne becMrs. Farwell.
After sitting in her office for stime, Aubree narrowed her eyes and called Sonya.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSonya had just finished her breakfast. When she received a call from Aubree, she could not help but think about the words she had said a few days ago, and guilt washed over her.
She had said that she was going to help convince Lucian to change his mind after Lucian calmed down, but she had not had the chance to talk to her son for the past two days.
Sonya felt apologetic when she picked up the call, and her voice was audibly kinder. “Aubree, it's quite early for you to call. Did something happen?” Despite the scowl on Aubree’s face, she said in a soft voice, “Mrs. Farwell, do you not likeanymore?” Hearing that, Sonya frowned. “What are you talking about? How can I not like you?” As Aubree suppressed the rising resentment in her, she muttered sorrowfully, “But you haven't calledfor the past few days. | thought you have forgotten aboutafter Lucian said he wanted to break off the engagement.” Aubree sounded miserable, but it was nothing too surprising for Sonya.
Sonya’s guilt only amplified at that. She let out a quiet sigh before saying, “I've just been a little busy lately.
Moreover, your matter with Lucian...” At that, Sonya paused for a few seconds before consoling Aubree again, “Don’t worry. I'll definitely have a talk with Lucian about this. Your engagement with him can’t just be broken off like this.” Just as she finished saying that, Aubree’s voice, tinged with bitterness, sounded. “Mrs. Farwell, haven't | told you this before? | think of you like my mother. Even without Lucian in the picture, Ill still respect and admire you.
As for my engagement with Lucian... He has already made his decision. I, too, know that Lucian’s not an easy person to convince, so | don’t have any hope for that anymore. All | can hope is for our relationship to still be the sas before.” Sonya’s heart ached, and she whispered, “Of course.” A hint of disdain flashed past Aubree’s eyes, but she still said, “When are you free, Mrs. Farwell? I'd like to buy snew clothes, and | wish to seek your opinion about them.” Sonya smiled and answered, “This weekend, perhaps.” Aubree agreed to it. She then flattered Sonya a little longer before she ended the call.
