Chapter 1338

Chapter 1338

At the Pearson residence, Samuel had been receiving calls non-stop since morning due to all the online drama and the Farwells’pressure.

They were either calling to report how terrible his subsidiaries were doing or to discuss the termination of contracts with theheadquarters.

Things had been tense at the Pearson residence since morning.Even though Gina was worried about her daughter, she didn’t dare call to check in on her with Samuel around.

That afternoon, Samuel remained holed up in his study while Gina sat alone at the kitchen table, unable to summon the appetitefor lunch in the midst of such tension and uncertainty.

Nobody touched the food even when it had turned cold.

That was the scene that greeted Sonya when she arrived, and she couldn’t help but notice that Aubree’s room was locateddirectly opposite the mansion main entrance.

“Mrs. Farwell, what brings you here?”

Gina was instantly reminded of the previous day’s ordeal when she caught sight of Sonya. A shiver ran down her spine, causingher to stand up shakily.

Samuel also emerged from his study when he heard the doorbell ring.As soon as he saw Sonya at the door, Samuel ended his phone call and hurried downstairs to meet her.

“Mrs. Farwell, what brings you here? Aubree has realized she is in the wrong, and we Pearsons have learned our lesson. Pleasedon’t make things any more difficult for us...”

Samuel felt embarrassed as he spoke.Sonya frowned as she looked around the Pearson residence.She noticed that there were only two simple dishes on the dining table that had not been touched.

Samuel and Gina appeared exhausted and worn out despite it only having been one night since they had last met. They seemedto have aged a decade overnight, with worry and stress etched into their features.

Sonya’s heart ached for them, as they had been good friends for many years.

Reminded of Aubree’s actions, she sighed. “How could you allow Aubree to do something like that to Essie? The Farwells havenever mistreated you, have we?”

Samuel and Gina exchanged looks, sensing that Sonya was starting to soften.

Samuel said in a resigned voice, “We didn’t want this to happen either. Aubree was foolish and has learned her lesson. She saidshe went down the wrong path because she was desperate to marry Lucian.”

Gina chimed in, “Aubree has been locking herself in her room since coming home yesterday. We've had a serious talk with herabout it and she’s learned her lesson now. She will apologize and make things right with Lucian and Essie.”

Sonya’s heart ached as she witnessed the sincerity and exhaustion etched on the faces of her two friends.

She stared at them as if she was assessing how sincere their apology was.

Samuel and Gina both had their heads lowered. One was red in the face with anger, and the other had red, blotchy eyes causedby crying.

They do look like they have regretted on their actions.Sonya slowly retracted her gaze and sat down on the couch in the living room.

“Aubree has indeed gotten carried away. Things wouldn’t have turned out like this if she had listened to me back then and triedher best to get along with Lucian and Essie,” she said regretfully.

Samuel and Gina immediately caught on.

“Mrs. Farwell, we have realized what a huge mistake we have made and have learned our lesson now. Could you try topersuade Mr. Farwell to let things slide?”

Sonya didn’t reply to them as she sat with crossed legs on the couch like an elegant lady.
