Chapter 1312

“Roxanne, you bitch! Why are you doing this to me? I’m the one Lucian loved first! It’s all your fault! He left me because you keep pestering him. You deserve to die! I won’t forgive you. Who do you think you are, taking Lucian away from me like this? He’s going to see your true colors one day. You’re just a piece of trash who’s been bedded by thousands of men.”

Aubree pointed at Roxanne. Her hysterical screams reverberated through the mansion hall.

“I won’t let you talk about Mommy like that! You evil woman! I hate you! I hate you so much!”

Estella, overcome with emotion, burst into tears. Sobbing, she picked up objects and hurled them at Aubree.

Roxanne quickly pulled Estella into her arms, wracked with guilt. I should have brought the children upstairs. This situation is too overwhelming for them, especially Essie. She’s already emotionally fragile.

Estella cried so hard she could barely breathe. “I don’t want that evil lady here! She scolds me and even pinches my arms and legs! Mommy! I want Mommy!”

Roxanne’s heart ached; she could barely comprehend Estella’s words. “Calm down, Essie. I’m here. Don’t cry. I’ll help you chase the evil lady away…”

Lucian and Sonya’s expressions shifted upon hearing Estella’s accusations. Samuel glared coldly at Aubree. Aubree, still out of control, continued her verbal assault.

Samuel’s gaze flicked between Lucian and Sonya before he slapped Aubree across the face. “Shut up, you idiot!”

This time, the slap was forceful, leaving Aubree momentarily dazed. She regained her composure only to scream, “How could you hit me? You’re on that bitch’s side, too, aren’t you?”

Another sharp slap landed on her cheek. Aubree’s face was already swelling. Samuel turned to Lucian and Sonya.

“I’m terribly sorry, Mr. and Mrs. Farwell. Aubree has made a terrible mistake. I’ll teach her a lesson when I get home. Please be merciful and don’t hold a grudge against her…”

Sonya trembled with anger, learning of Aubree’s secret cruelty toward her granddaughter. Lucian’s face darkened. “We’re not the ones you should be apologizing to!”

Samuel turned to Roxanne and the children. Before he could speak, Lucian’s voice cut through the air. “You’re not the one who made the mistake. What are you apologizing for?” The coldness in his tone was palpable.

Samuel froze. Several seconds later, he snapped at Aubree, “Damn it! Apologize to Ms. Jarvis and the children now!”

Fear and madness flickered in Aubree’s eyes. Madness ultimately prevailed. She stumbled to her feet, murmuring, “Fine. I’ll apologize. I’ll apologize now.”

Believing her, Samuel allowed her to approach. Suddenly, Aubree lunged forward, clutching the ashtray Estella had thrown earlier.

“Roxanne, you bitch! Go to hell!”

Aubree looked like a raving lunatic. Even the usually brave boys watched in terror as she charged toward them.
