Aubree arrived in Bellridge at noon. On her way there, she called Sonya to find out where Lucian was staying. After getting off the plane, she headed straight. to the hotel..

When she arrived and saw the hotel entrance, suspicion filled her mind, and she frowned.

Given Lucian’s status, he should be staying at a five-star hotel at the very least whenever he was on business trips. Even though the hotel before her was considered respectable, it did not fit his status.

Unless… his reason for coming here was to find that b*tch.

Aubree’s heart sank as she thought about this. She quickly walked to the front desk and asked, “Hi, I’m looking for someone. Can I trouble you to help me find out which room Lucian Farwell is staying in?”

The receptionist looked at her and was about to ask about her relationship with him when she immediately added, “I’m his fiancée. I called him just now, and he told me his room number.

But I don’t have a good memory and forgot what he said. I don’t want to call him

    Roxanne must have left in a rush because of Aubree’s unannounced arrival.“This is my room. Of course I’m here. As for you, what are you doing here?” Lucian’s expression turned icy.Aubree looked away with guilt. “Oh, it’s nothing. I have some work to do here in Bellridge, and Mrs. Farwell told me you’re here for a business trip. So I’m here to see you.”“Does Pearson Group have a project here in Bellridge? Why didn’t I know that?” Lucian showed no mercy and exposed her.In recent years, Farwell Group had been acting as the middleman for many projects for Pearson Group. Hence, it was natural for Lucian to know of their businesses.Aubree’s expression changed, and she clenched her fists. She steeled herself and said, “We only started negotiating recently. It’s not a done deal yet. I came here to give it a try.”Aubree was afraid Lucian would continue digging into it, so she immediately changed the topic. “Oh, right, why are you staying in this kind of hotel? Did your partner book this

    Why did you leave in a hurry? I didn’t hear you mentioning going back to Horington when we had breakfast.” Lucian’s voice rang from the side, histone unfathomable.Scowling, Roxanne turned over and answered him coldly with another question, “Mr.Farwell, I’m also curious why would you leave your fiancée behind in Bell ridge and go back to Horington by yourself?”— At the mention of his fiancée, Lucian’s gaze darkened.She pretended that she hadn’t noticed the change in his expression as she continued, “Mr.Farwell, you’re going to get married soon.You should spend more time with your fiancée at this critical juncture.”When Lucian was about to reply to her, the woman next to him took out a small blanketand covered herself with it up to her face.She then turned her back to him and lay down.Through the blanket, her muffled voice sounded.“I’m tired.I need to rest.Mr.Farwell, please be quiet.” With that, she closed her eyes, and Lucian could only see the back of her head.In the end,

    “Larry, don’t simply make assumptions without evidence.” Roxanne averted her eyes apprehensively.“No matter what kind of feelings he has for me, we are just friendly strangers now.There’s nothing more than that.Besides, he is about to get engaged to Aubree.” Ever since she met Lucian again, she had several guesses about how Lucian felt about her, but she had never thought of the possibility of him liking her.Besides, she also had a feeling that it was not a romantic interest.After all, she could still how much Lucian liked Aubree six years ago.This is not the way Lucian behaves when he has feelings for the person.Upon seeing her denying the claim, Larry knitted his brows slightly and keep his silence.The car rolled to a stop at Roxanne’s doorstep.Thinking about the little ones at home, Roxanne reluctantly gathered her thoughts, beamed at Larry, and said, “Thanks for the trouble.” He nodded and saw her out of the car.He then said in a deep voice, “Please consider what I have

She gave her father a puppy-eyed look and tugged at the corner of his shirt in a bid to curry favor with her father.Lucian lowered his gaze to meet Estella’s.

What is it that you want me to investigate?” Narrowing her eyes, Aubree said, “Investigate what happened between Roxanne and Lucian!”Cory let out a meaningful chuckle when he heard what she said.Aubree questioned coldly, “Why are you laughing?”As if unaware of her anger, Cory muttered, “Since you’ve agreed to the price I proposed so readily, I have to show you something.”With that, he took out a phone from the bag beside him and typed away on the screen.Soon, Aubree received a few messages on her phone.“I believe what you’re about to see won’t disappoint you, Ms. Pearson.” Cory sounded confident.Aubree furrowed her brows and swiped open her phone, checking the messages he sent.The chat interface showed that Cory had sent her more than ten pictures.Each picture was attached with the tim

She sputtered, “Not at all. I’m happy to do this. Essie’s a lovely girl.”As for how she upset Estella in the car earlier, Aubree decided to sweep things under the rug if the young girl kept things to herself.“Dinner’s ready.

Now that I’m a little more patient, Essie can sense it and responds accordingly.”“That’s good,” Lucian answered solemnly. “Enjoy each other’s company.”Smiling, Aubree a*sured him she would.Without discussing it any further, Lucian ended the call on the pretext of work.Though he had already decided to proceed with the engagement, he did not ha
