Chapter 750 Warm Smile Not long after, Lucian brought Estella downstairs. Aubree was already sitting at the dining table. When she saw them, she stifled the displeasure in her heart and smiled at them before pointing to the spot next to her. “Cover here, Essie. Let's eat breakfast together.” She thought her threat from earlier would make the girl listen to her. To her surprise, the little girl blatantly ignored her. Grabbing onto the hem of her father’s shirt, Estella followed him to the dining table and allowed him to lift her and plop her down on the seat next to him.

Aubree’s rage dissipated slightly when she at least got sresponse out of him. With a smile, she suggested, “Then lettake care of you today, Essie! I'll make sure you'll have tons of fun!” The instant she ended her sentence, she saw Estella glancing at her cautiously before looking back down and eating silently. In the past, when the girl's condition hadn’t improved yet, she tended to remain silent when Aubree talked to her.
In Aubree’s opinion, the girl's behavior had worsened to the point of straight-up disrespecting her. Even threats no longer worked.
Playvolume00:00/00:44TruvidfullScreen Realizing that Estella had changed, Aubree was enraged, and she blamed everything on Roxanne. If not for that b*tch, this brat wouldn’t have defied me. The brat clearly thinks she has someone supporting her now, so she could do as she pleases. It's all because of that b*tch! | lost my best way into the Farwell family because of her! Meanwhile, she was also mad at the stubborn little girl. | remember Lucian’s relationship with that b*tch was quite awkward when she first returned to the country. The reason their relationship improved was because of this brat! Even though | treated her so well, she ungratefully insisted on clinging to that b*tch! If not for her, that b*tch wouldn't have had so many opportunities to spend twith Lucian and develop their relationship to what it is today! As her thoughts ran wild, Aubree started staring at Estella with hatred in her eyes.

Aubree rapidly changed her expression and smiled warmly in response to that. Lucian glanced at her. “There's no need for that. Essie will be followingtoday.” Without giving Aubree a chance to speak, he put his fork down and stood up. “I'll be leaving with Essie now.” When Estella heard that, she got down from her chair, grabbed her father’s sleeve, and left the mansion with him.
Aubree watched the two of them leave with a gloomy look. After sitting at the table for a while, she got up as well. No, | must follow them and see where the two of them are going.
“Ms. Pearson!” Catalina called out in confusion upon seeing Aubree leave when she barely touched her meal.
Without turning to look at Catalina, Aubree replied, “I'm going home.” After that, she stepped out of the mansion. Fortunately for her, she exited the building at the right time. Lucian’s car had just left the residence.
Thus, she speedily went to the side of the road, hailed a taxi, entered it, and asked the driver to tail Lucian’s car.
