Chapter 1412


    Frieda was ridden with regret as she stared at the phone screen.


    If I knew Aubree would end up like this, I would have never listened to her!


    Despite her regret, it was toote.


    Frieda stood up slowly while holding her phone. Before leaving, she retrieved a bank card from the


    drawer out of caution.


    “Where are you going?”


    As soon as she left the bedroom, she immediately saw her brother, who hade out of the study.


    Jonathan''s scrutinizing gaze was filled with suspicion.


    Frieda stered on a smile. “It''s nothing. I have stayed at home for too long, so I decided to go out.”


    Jonathan didn''t give her the opportunity to lie, instead asking directly, “Are you going to meet Aubree?”


    Frieda''s expression changed drastically as she didn''t expect her brother to see through her so quickly.


    “You''re not allowed to go! You''re staying at home instead!”


    Not only was Jonathan aware of Lucian''s prejudice against Aubree, but he also knew about Frieda''s


    rtionship with Aubree.


    As a result, he had to make sure Frieda had nothing to do with Aubree right now, or the Queen family


    would be implicated if Lucian were enraged.


    Guilt filled Frieda''s heart, but she pretended to be calm and appeal to his emotions. “Jonathan, Aubree


    has been my friend for so long. I can''t just leave her when her family is at their lowest. We, girls, aren''t


    like you guys. We can''t just cut off ties with our friends immediately even if our families have conflicts


    with each other—”


    Before she could finish her words, Jonathan interrupted her, somewhat upset, “What''s your rtionship


    with her? You should stay away from this kind of woman!”


    Frieda bit her lips and looked at Jonathan pitifully. “I''m just going to take a look! It''s not like I can do


    anything to alleviate the Pearson family''s situation even if I want to.”


    It was the truth.


    Even if Lucian personally helped the Pearson family, he would need to inject tons of money in to see


    any signs of improvement.


    Other than this, it was impossible for the family to recover from this situation.


    Frieda nced at her watch. It was getting closer to the time Aubree had arranged for them to meet.


    She attempted to persuade Jonathan. “Don''t worry. You already know I''m not a courageous person!


    Even if she asks for my help, I won''t dare to do anything. I only assisted her thest time because I


    assumed she would be a part of the Farwell family. I wouldn''t do anything dumb now that I know


    it''s impossible.”


    Is Friedo hiding something from me?


    Jonathan was a rather indulgent brother.


    Knowing what she said was the truth, he hesitated for a few seconds before he agreed.


    “You can go and meet her, but you have to understand that you will bear all the consequences if you


    get bewitched by her and do something dumb. I''ll not save you!”


    Jonathan would naturally choose the Queen family over Frieda!


    Frieda''s heart trembled, and she suddenly felt slightly nervous about meeting Aubree.


    For a split second, she thought about exining everything to Jonathan.


    However, Frieda suppressed the urge when she thought about the Pearson family''s situation. She gave


    an obedient nod.


    “I understand! I''m not dumb, so you don''t have to worry!”


    Jonathan nodded. As he watched his sister leave, he felt slightly worried.


    He knew that Frieda was not a dumb person, so he didn''t understand why she would still try to meet


    Aubree when she knew about the rtionship between the Pearsons and the Farwells.
