Chapter 1410


    Meanwhile, Aubree was sitting in her bedroom with a gloomy expression on her face.


    The Queen family! It turned out to be the Queen family!


    While busy handling the mess in the past few days, she didn''t forget to investigate the culprit


    sabotaging things behind the scenes.


    Initially, she thought that it would be some other family who seized that opportunity to hit them while


    they were down.


    Never had she imagined that it would be Jonathan.


    She could surmise without even having to ponder upon the matter that it was definitely Lucian who


    instructed him to do so.


    If he hadn''t received an order from thetter, he wouldn''t have had the guts to make a move rashly.


    Ah, Lucian! I never expected him to be so ruthless to me that he''s determined to push me to a dead


    end!


    As she was fuming, her room door was suddenly pushed open.


    Snapping back to her senses, Aubree snapped her eyes up and swung her gaze in the direction of the


    door.


    Just when she had made out the person who barged in, a p from Samuel sent her tumbling back


    onto the bed.


    “Samuel!”


    Gina had also been exhausted in the past few days because of the Pearson family''s downfall. Coupled


    with the blow she suffered earlier upon learning that they would have to move out before tomorrow, she


    was pitifully weak in the legs.


    By the time she finally arrived at Aubree''s room, she was greeted by the sight of Samuel pping their


    daughter.


    Although Aubree had done something wrong, she was still Gina''s flesh and blood. It was as though that


    p from Samuel struck her squarely, for her heart abruptly clenched. In a sh, strength infused her


    legs, and she sprinted over to shield her daughter.


    “Get out of my way! I''m going to teach this imbecile a lesson today!” Samuel snarled coldly.


    “Calm down. Things are already set in stone anyway. Besides, Aubree hasn''t had it easy either these


    few days. She''s already trying her best to make amends for her mistakes.” Gina sounded mournful.


    When Samuel saw that she was still defending Aubree, his temper spiked further. He was so enraged


    that his temples throbbed violently. “Buzz off! Otherwise, I''m going to hit you as well!”


    After bellowing that, he chastised furiously, “This is all on you for spoiling her! If you hadn''t encouraged


    her, she wouldn''t have ended up with such attitude today!”


    Gina was both panicked and fearful, her lips quivering uncontrobly.

    “Step aside, Mom,” Aubree urged softly, gathering her wits about her at longst.


    Then, she stepped out from behind her mother. Holding her head up high, she regarded her father with


    obstinacy etched across her features. “I did nothing wrong!”


    Samuel lifted his hand and pped her again. “Even now, you''re still unrepentant? Are you only going


    to admit to your mistake after I personally send you to prison?”


    Aubree cradled her cheek, madness brewing in her eyes.


    I did nothing wrong! If I really did something wrong, that was merely loving Lucian too deeply at that


    time. He has absolutely no regard for me! I hate him!


    Noticing that both women were utterly unremorseful, Samuel was so incensed that he almost burst a


    blood vessel. He calmed himself for some time before he finally managed to suppress his wrath


    forcibly. “Get up and pack your things!”


    When Aubree heard that, she lifted her eyes and looked at her father in puzzlement.


    In turn, Samuel red at her sharply. “The Pearson family has gone bankrupt! On top of that, this


    house is no longer ours! It''ll be seized tomorrow, and we''ve got to get out of here quickly!”


    Bankrupt?


    Despite knowing ages ago that they would have to face that fact sooner orter, Aubree still found it


    hard to believe upon hearing it from her father with her own ears.


    How could that be? How could ite to pass so quickly? Worse still, we don''t even have a house in


    the end! I''ve got nothing left!


    “From now on, you''d better behave! If you were to create trouble again, we might not even be able to


    come out of it alive!”


    Worried that he would really go off the deep end and pummel the two women to death if he continued


    to stay in the room, Samuel spun on his heel and left after saying that.
