Chapter 1239


    No matter how she thought about it, Aubree just couldn’t calm down. It wasn’t until she gave Cory a call


    that she found out about Roxanne’s discharge from the hospital.Without a doubt, the news further


    unsettled her.After much contemtion, she steeled herself and gave Lucian a call.However, she had


    to wait for a long while before she heard an answer in a frosty voice. “What is it?”Despite gritting her


    teeth, she maintained a caring tone. “Lucian, I just received a call from Ms. Yaxley saying that Essie


    has missed school recently. Is she not feeling well?”The moment she finished, Aubree felt her heart


    tense up as if she was afraid of hearing Lucian say that Este was at Roxanne’s.Furrowing his brows


    in brief silence, Lucian replied, “Essie is at my mom’s. You don’t have to bother. As for the teacher, just


    inform her that Essie is sick.”Due to the bad blood between Aubree and Roxanne, Lucian didn’t n on


    letting the former know where Este really was.In addition, Lucian was certain of his feelings for


    Roxanne after the poisoning incident.That was the reason he felt the need to draw the line with


    Aubree.However, Aubree doubted the truth in his words.Given how important I am to Sonya, I’m sure


    she would invite me over if Essie was by her side. After all, it’s a great opportunity for me to bond with


    the little girl. Since that didn’t happen, I’m not buying Lucian’s story.Coming to that conclusion, Aubree


    felt her heart sink. At the same time, she replied in a skeptical tone, “Really? I’m surprised that I didn’t


    hear about something this important.”With no intention of continuing the conversation, Lucian


    remarked, “I still have a meeting to attend. If there’s nothing else, I’m ending the call now.” With that, he


    hung up on Aubree before she could react.Upon hearing the call end tone, Aubree’s face lost all


    color.That little b*tch must be at Roxanne’s. I can’t think of any other reason Lucian would lie to


    me.Amidst her fury, a sudden knock on the door was heard.Aubree stood up to get it despite looking


    upset.When she saw who it was, she didn’t bother hiding her displeasure.“Aubree, what happened?


    Why do you look so angry?”Worried that Aubree would do something impulsive, Frieda came over to


    check on her. Concern filled her mind the moment she saw the look on Aubree’s face.Aubree seethed


    as she spoke. “That little b*tch has gone to Roxanne’s house again!”The news shocked Frieda. “Isn’t


    she supposed to be in the hospital?”She clearly remembered Jonathan telling her that Roxanne’sThis text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.


    poisoning was extremely serious. Hence, she was surprised at how fast Roxanne was


    discharged.”Aubree mmed the door to vent her frustration. “That b*tch is da*n lucky. Why didn’t she


    die from the poison?”Frieda still couldn’t believe what happened. “Have you asked Mr. Zaythrone about


    it? Given Roxanne’s critical condition, the poison in her body would still take time to dissipate even


    after she woke up. How did she manage to leave the hospital so soon?”The frustrated Aubree,


    annoyed by Frieda’s incessant questioning, gave thetter the side-eye. “How would I know? Cory is


    nothing but a coward. Ever since I told him that I was trying to kill Roxanne, he stopped contacting me.


    If I hadn’t asked him about it, he would probably not have told me!”Unsettled by the tantrum Aubree


    was throwing, Frieda felt the need to calm the former down. “Um… How did you know that Essie is at


    Roxanne’s ce?”
