    Chapter 1022 Treated You Poorly


    The next morning, words about Aubree’s injury became public knowledge. Sonya contacted Aubree to show her concern.


    “Aubree, | heard you were injured. Is that true?”


    Aubree sat on the edge of her bed and stared at her wounded ankle. Her expression was cold, but she replied nicely, “I


    identally fell down, but I’m fine. You don’t have to worry about me, Mrs. Farwell.”


    Sonya furrowed her brows. “How did you fall? Didn’t you visit Lucian yesterday? Does he know that you’re hurt?”


    Aubree sounded conflicted as she responded, “Mrs. Farwell, you should stay out of this.” “He knows about it, doesn’t he?” Sonya


    immediately guessed.


    Every time Lucian mentioned his rtionship with Aubree, he would tell me to stay out of it. Even Aubree is saying the same


    thing now!


    At that thought, Sonya grew breathless with anger. “Tell me how you got hurt.” A smug look shed across Aubree’s eyes as


    Sonya was close to the truth.


    She pretended to be hesitant for a few seconds as if struggling with what to say. “Yesterday, | fell down the stairs as | was


    leaving Lucian’s ce and injured my ankle bone.”


    Then, as if she was concerned that Sonya might hold Lucian responsible for her injury, she quickly added, “Fortunately, Lucian


    had Dr. Elswick treat my injury in time.”


    Gina happened to enter her room at that exact moment, so Aubree quickly signaled to her. Gina got her hint and immediately


    chimed in, “Samuel and | freaked out when we received Lucian’s callst night.”


    Sonya sensed something amiss and her frown deepened. “Lucian called you? Where is Aubree now?”


    She had assumed that Lucian would let Aubree stay at the manor and look after her since she got injured at his ce. After all, it


    was the right thing to do.


    However, she started doubting herself after hearing Gina’s words.


    Before Gina could respond, Aubree interjected, “Mrs. Farwell, I’m at home now. | think it would be better for me to recuperate


    here under my parents’ care.”


    She was indicating that she chose not to recuperate at the Farwell residence.


    Gina quickly threw her a look.


    However, Aubree wasn’t about to change her mind. She seemed confident as she waited for Sonya’s answer.


    As she anticipated, Sonya’s angry voice rang out. “You don’t have to take his side. Lucian must have treated you poorly! | can’t


    believe he made you leave when you were injured. Don’t worry. I''ll give him a piece of my mind on your behalf!”


    Gina btedly realized that it was merely a strategic but efficient retreat on Aubree’s part.Original content from N?velDrama.Org.


    Aubree shed a pleased smirk and deliberately replied, “Mrs. Farwell, you’ve gotten it wrong. It was my decision to—”


    “Stop trying to defend him. | know you''re a good person. Don’t worry. As long as | am here, | will never let you suffer.” With that,


    Sonya hung up right away.


    After the call ended, Aubree let out a snicker and tossed her phone aside, then turned to stare at her ankle which was in a cast.


    She thought it was worth getting injured because Sonya was going to defend her.


    Gina, who was standing at the side, rxed immediately as their n had seeded.


    Suddenly recalling why she hade upstairs, she said, “Aubree, Frieda is here to visit you.”
