Chapter 1356

Aubree’s joy was short-lived; the tables turned that evening. Farwell Group issued another announcement, explicitly stating the reason for the annulment of the Farwell-Pearson engagement and warning those involved in online discussions.

One line ignited internet outrage: “The Farwell and Pearson families have annulled their engagement due to Aubree’s unsuitability as Mr. Lucian Farwell’s wife.”

Online comments included: “The Farwells must have toned down their words. I bet Aubree did something awful.” Another asked, “Aubree or Roxanne—who’s the problem?” A reply stated, “It’s obviously Aubree! She might have orchestrated the whole online discussion.”

Netizens’ chatter subsided. Though curious about Archie and Benny’s identities, Farwell Group’s warning silenced further inquiries.

Roxanne breathed a sigh of relief. While Lucian promised to resolve the matter, its swift resolution surprised her. He had filed lawsuits against those who slandered her, effectively announcing their relationship publicly. This filled Roxanne with a peculiar feeling.

With the matter resolved, she returned the boys’ laptop. Their first action was to check online discussions. Thanks to Lucian’s warning, disrespectful posts about Roxanne had vanished. Farwell Group’s announcement topped trending lists.

The boys immediately noticed Lucian indirectly rebuked Aubree, earning their applause. They then learned he was gathering evidence and filing lawsuits. They promptly collected and anonymously sent a compressed folder of evidence to Farwell Group. They wouldn't let those who insulted Roxanne go unpunished.

Crucially, the folder contained proof of Aubree transferring fifty million to a media company; ten million remained unpaid.

Cayden immediately informed Lucian. The evidence of Aubree's bribery enraged him, confirming his suspicions. He hadn't expected such swift evidence gathering.

Seeing Lucian's fury, Cayden cautiously said, “Mr. Farwell…”

Lucian replied coldly, “Since this company prioritizes money over Farwell Group, they’ll repay every cent they’ve ever earned.”

Cayden nodded grimly, understanding Lucian intended to bankrupt the company for daring to bully Mrs. Farwell.
