Gina frowned. “Did Lucian go to her again?”

Aubree plopped into the seat next to them furiously. “Duh! Everyone‘s saying that he‘s going to marry Roxanne. I‘m just a gold–digger who clings to him shamelessly. He doesn‘t even want me even if I offer him everything!”

Gina and Samuel shared a look,

They had heard this rumor, too. However, just like Aubree, they assumed the rumor would be scotched once Lucian agreed to the wedding.

Alas, things weren‘t going their way.

Gina patted Aubree‘s back in a comforting manner. “No matter what, we‘ll get his explanation soon. Calm down.” |

“You‘re asking me to calm down? If we wait any longer, that b*tch will marry him soon!” Aubree declared as a crazed look appeared on her face.

Despite her fury, Gina remained calm. “What Lucian wants may not be what the Farwells want. Didn‘t you see how his mother held a prejudice toward that woman previously?” she reminded Aubree.

Aubree calmed down slightly. “Are you saying that…”

“Let‘s pay the Farwell residence a visit,” Gina stated coolly.

The three of them discussed briefly before agreeing to invite Sonya and her husband to dinner at The Waterfront that night.

When Sonya and Elias arrived, Aubree’s family was already waiting in the private room. Aubree hung her head low, seemingly despondent, while her parents wore grim expressions.

When they walked into the room, Aubree lifted her head and forced out a smile. “Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Farwell.”

Her smile slipped soon after as though she was nursing a grievance.

Sonya was puzzled. “Aubree, what’s the matter? Did someone bully you? Tell me about it.”

Gina’s voice rang out. “She’s upset because of the rumors circulating outside. People are accusing Aubree of being a gold-digger, so she’s been crying for the past few days.”

Aubree immediately refuted, “No, I know Lucian doesn’t mean it. I’ve heard of the rumors, but I didn’t take them to heart…”

She trailed off as her eyes turned red.

Gina shot her a resigned and worried look. “You’ve remained by Lucian’s side these few years, so we know your feelings. But the outsiders have no idea. If Lucian…”

She paused and lowered her voice, “If Lucian loves you, he won’t allow you to suffer. He can ignore your plight, but I can’t! Listen to me. It’s time to break up with him.”

Sonya and Elias heard their exchange clearly.

Sonya’s brows snapped together as she demanded, “What’s going on? Is it about the rumor? I’ll deal with the rumor right away!”

Gina let out a bitter chuckle and raised her head. “How are you going to handle the matter? Everyone in Horinglon knows about it. They claim that Aubree and Lucian’s engagement is only Aubree’s wishful thinking. Lucian doesn’t have any intention of marrying her. They also claim that our family depended on your family to climb up the ranks. Now that Lucian has a new lover, and their engagemeni hasn’t been announced, they are saying that Aubree is holding Lucian back.”

“That’s utter nonsense!” Sonya’s face darkened.

Gina’s lips twitched. “They’re right. For the past few years, it was Aubree who remained by Lucian’s side. We’re the only ones who know about the engagement. We’ve received a lot from Lucian. As he isn’t interested in Aubree, we shouldn’t hold him back.”

She shot her daughter a distressed look. “Aubree still… Well, I’ve advised her for a couple of days, but she couldn’t bring herself to break up with him. As her mother, it breaks my heart to see people gossiping about her. It’s better to just get the pain over with, rather than prolong the agony. I’ll decide on behalf of her today to break cif their engagement.”

Aubree hung her head low and trembled slightly.

No one could see her expression, but it was pretty obvious that she was devastated.

Sonya had no idea they would suddenly ask to break off the engagement. Her expression changed drastically as she declared, “Impossible! Lucian and Aubree have been engaged for years. How could we call off the engagement just like that?”

“This is the only way to quell the rumors,” Gina explained bitterly. “Don’t worry. I’ll tell Aubree to forget him so she could find her own happiness.”

Silence ensued. A moment later, Sonya said icily, “There’s another solution.”

Before Gina could say anything, Sonya took her bag and rose to her feet. “Aubree is the only daughter-in-law I’ll acknowledge. Don’t worry. I’ll handle the matter personally!”

With that said, she spun on her heels and strode away without looking back.

Inside the private room, Aubrre raiseu her locad slowly. There were no signs of cars on her face.

“Just you wait!” Gina announced smugly

Besides calling off the engagement, the only other way to quell the rumors was to arrange for the wedding!

She was contident that Sonya shares her sentiments,

The next morning, Lucian arrived at his office and noticed Cavaden was acting strangely

“What’s wrong” Lucian was batlle,

Cavdien hesitated for a momenu before blurring out. “Mi Barwell, you and Ms. Pearson…”

“What about me and her:” Lucian’s brows turtowe

Sensing his contusion, Cavien added circully: “Are you really going to get engaged to her?”

Atier saying that, Cavden lowered luis gaze hastily

Early this morning, he heard about the rumors saving his employer was finally going to get engaged with lubroc.

The public was kept out of the loop, bui Cayden had been working for Lucian for some time. Ilc saw firsthand how close Lucian and Roxanne Worc lle also know that Lucian didn’t harbor any fcclings for Aubrec. Even 10 m outsider like him, it was obvious that Aubree’s feelings were one sided.

For the past six years, Lucian refused to get engaged to Aubree but suddenly grecato il without warning:

Naturally, that struck Cayden as strange.

Lucian’s expression turned dark instantly. “Where did you hear it from?”

Hearing his employer’s fury, Cayden promptly knew what was going on. He replied solemnly, “Everyone’s talking about it. It was also published in a few morning papers.”

He pulled his phone out and showed Lucian the news that was published online.

Farwell Group and Pearson Group: A Marriage of Convenience! The Farwells and Pearsons’ Marriage Alliance Finally Coming Through Six Years Later!

Lucian’s gaze swept over the various news captions online. There were also comments praising that he and Aubree were the perfect couple.

At once, the surrounding temperature dropped. Find out who was the one who released the news!”

The discussion went wild just after one night.

I must find out who the h*ll dares to make an issue over my matter!

Clearly, the culprit didn’t bother concealing his or her identity.

Less than an hour later, Cayden went to Lucian’s office to report his findings.

Lucian’s heart sank when he noticed Cayden’s expression.

“Mr. Farwell, it was the chairman who gave the orders,” Cayden reported cautiously.

He was shocked to learn that it was Lucian’s father behind the matter. In fact, it was the chairman’s assistant who contacted various media outlets and ordered them to release the news by dawn.

Hence, a few media outlets had to hold back the news that was supposed to be published today so they could report about the marriage of convenience.

It only took one morning for the news to be splashed all over the headlines.

Almost everyone in Horington was gossiping about the matter.
