The Abandoned Wife (Lucian)
Chapter 1305

Chapter 1305

Gina panicked at the sight of her daughter's demeanor. She instinctively turned to look at Samuel.Samuel remained relatively rational, but he was wearing a grimace. “What did you do?”

Hearing her father's question, Aubree lowered her gaze guiltily, her eyelids twitching uncontrollably.

Even as the situation progressed to that stage, she was still trying to figure out ways to describe her doings with reducedseverity.

After contemplating for a few moments, she uttered warily, “I-| contaminated the water Essie drank with bacteria.”Samuel's and Gina's faces darkened as soon as they heard that.

They had always known Aubree despised Estella and had been mistreating her.

However, since Lucian didn't replace out about that, they turned a blind eye to Aubree's misconduct.

Unexpectedly, Aubree's foolishness knew no boundaries.

Noticing the changes in her parents’ mood, Aubree quickly added, “I didn't do that on purpose. | wasjust trying to teach the b*tch,Roxanne, a lesson. | wanted those two b*stards to be infected, but I-I didn't expect Essie’s cup to be next to theirs. | got carriedaway

Before she could finish her sentence, Samuel slapped her forcefully. “You fool!”Aubree covered her face, lowered her head, and stayed silent for a long while.Samuel panted heavily. He recollected himself for a few seconds before asking again, “Is that all?”

Aubree's eyes flickered. “I did the same thing to Essie once in the past, but | suppose Lucian doesn't know | am the culprit. Hedoesn't have any evidence!”

Samuel bellowed, “Aren't you aware of Lucian's capability? He'll replace out all the information he needs once you expose yourself!”

Aubree became even more agitated. “What should we do? Lucian cares a lot about Essie. He'll never forgive me if he knows |tried to harm her.” Moreover, | even set Roxanne up on muitiple occasions. Judging by their current relationship, Lucian willundoubtedly turn my life into a living hell by considering all the horrible things I've done when taking revenge on me!

At that thought, she grasped the hem of her mother's clothes hysterically. “Mom, you have to save me. | was wrong!”Gina merely felt weak all over.

She understood her daughter more than anyone else, so she knew Aubree must've committed more wrongdoings than she hadlet on.

Still, Aubree's act of harming Estella alone was sufficient to convince Lucian to unleash his wrath on the Pearson family.Gina gazed at Samuel, hoping he could figure out a solution.

“You fool! | can't believe | gave birth to a daughter as senseless as you!”

Samuel paced around the mansion anxiously.

After some time, he finally stopped in his tracks and instructed Gina, “Contact Sonya. We can only rely on her to help speak upfor us in front of Lucian.”

Gina was already deeply shaken up. She merely executed his orders blindly after hearing his words.

Right after she took out her phone to dial Sonya's number, Aubree's phone suddenly rang.The three of them simultaneously shifted their gazes to the ringing phone.

Due to the fire at the factory earlier, her phone screen had been cracked into a mess.Nonetheless, they could still see the caller ID displayed on the screen.

It was a call from Lucian.

Aubree shuddered when she caught sight of the name. She frantically tossed away the device. “Lucian must be calling me tosettle the score! We cannot answer the call. We mustn't...”

“Do you think he'll be out of ways to deal with you if you don't pick up the call?” Samuel roared.Frightened, Aubree answered the phone with trembling hands.

On the other end of the call, Lucian wasn’t expecting her to speak, either. He simply uttered coldly, “I'll be waiting for you at theFarwell residence at two o'clock in the afternoon.”

With that, he hung up the phone right away.
