Frieda was rather confused.
Could it be that... Aubree has another trick up her sleeve?
With that thought in mind, Frieda asked carefully, “Aubree, do you mean that you have another way to teach Roxanne a lesson?”
Ugh, she's so annoying. Even if I have another trick up my sleeve, why would I let her know? She's no help at all!
However, Aubree knew she would still need Frieda's help one day. Thus, she assured Frieda, “Don't worry. I won't let that b*tch gain the upper hand. She was the reason you got chided by Old Mr. Queen and Jonathan. I shall avenge you and make sure she gets what she deserves!”
In just a few words, Aubree had placed the blame on Roxanne.
Frieda nodded vehemently. “Since I met her, Grandpa and Jonathan kept finding fault with me. I'm one of them, but they insisted on siding with her! We really need to teach her a lesson.”
Having achieved her goal, Aubree squinted her eyes in satisfaction. She patted Frieda's shoulder and said, “Don't forget that we're not the only ones who hate Roxanne.”
Her words stunned Frieda. It took a while for the latter to realize what she meant.
Oh, I forgot that it was Sonya who came up with the plan to make things difficult for Roxanne. There's no way Roxanne can get what she wants!
It was clear that Sonya wanted to take Roxanne down to help Aubree.
After all, everyone saw how Sonya adored Aubree all the years.
Indeed, if she hadn't decided to be ruthless toward herself, Sonya might still be tolerating Roxanne's existence.
Her injury had forced Sonya to take sides.
Frieda put on a flattering smile. “Mrs. Farwell adores you. Roxanne bullied you, so she must teach Roxanne a lesson. You're her future daughter-in-law, after all.”
Aubree's lips twitched. “We have to wait for Lucian's decision.”
Frieda couldn't care less. “Mrs. Farwell is on your side. After she kicked Roxanne out of Horington, you'll be the only woman by Lucian's side. Who else can he marry besides you? Just wait patiently for the day to come. You'll be his wife in the near future.”
Hmm, she's right. Aubree's heart swelled with an indescribable sense of happiness at that thought.
