Sonya gave them the side-eye. “How dare you lie toall these years? And now, you still have the cheek to beg for my forgiveness?” The three of them hung their heads, not daring to utter a single word.
After a brief yet deathly silence, Sonya turned to leave. “You guys better pray hard!” Samuel finally got back up to his feet a long while later. As he stared at his daughter, who was still kneeling, a pained look flashed across his eyes. “You should leave the country.” Aubree raised her head the moment she heard those words.
“That's the only way out.” Samuel let out a long sigh. “You can save yourself by leaving, otherwise, we'll lose both you and our wealth!” A look of hesitation filled Aubree's eyes.

In the blink of an eye, it was already one thirty.
The three of them left hon time.
Given that Lucian was already outraged by Aubree's actions, they wouldn't look repentant if they were to be late.
Meanwhile, Roxanne was oblivious to what had happened between the Pearson and Farwell families.
She had caught a cold the day before. Archie and Benny had taken the day off from the kindergarten to stay hto accompany her.
As always, the children were extremely concerned about her. They made sure that she took her medication and had enough water.
Although all Roxanne had was a slight fever, they forbade her from getting out of bed.

“Do you feel better now?” Just as expected, Lucian's concerned voice rang out.
Roxanne's heart was immediately warmed. “It's just a minor fever. | feel fine. You guys are just overreacting.” For her sake, the three children had taken leave from school, whereas Lucian had almost dropped whatever he was doing in the office to care for her.
In the end, it was Roxanne who convinced him that there was no such need.
Lucian sounded solemn over the line. “Cto the manor if you can. I'll get Cayden to pick you up.” Roxanne was stunned by his request. She could sense the gravity of the situation. “What happened?” She reckoned Lucian wouldn't want her to be out and about unless it was something serious, as she was sick.
Lucian furrowed his brows. He didn't know how to break it to her. “It's better to talk about it in person. Cayden should be arriving anytnow.” Without asking any further questions, Roxanne agreed, “I'll go and get ready.” Lucian added, “Bring Archie and Benny along.” Since they wereAubree's initial targets, she has to apologize to them in person.
Even though Roxanne was baffled, she could tell from Lucian's tone that it was something serious.
“All right.” Just as she ended the call, the boys cin with a glass of water.
After taking it from their hands and drinking a mouthful, Roxanne said, “Mr. Farwell wantsto bring both of you to his place, so go get ready. Mr. Lawson will be picking US up soon.”
