The sudden ringing of the phone broke the tense atmosphere at the dining table.

As Lucian’s mind was preoccupied with Roxanne’s relationship with Larry, he picked up the call without looking at the phone.

The moment the call went through, he heard a female’s concerned voice.

“Lucian, I heard you went to Bellridge for a business trip. How are things? Have you settled them?”

Aubree had gone to the office yesterday to look for Lucian and ended up making a wasted trip. She found out that Lucian had gone to Bellridge only after she asked Sonya. As such, she had called him early in the morning to show concern toward him.

She had thought that he would not pick up like all the previous times she called. Yet, little did she expect him to pick up the phone so quickly.

Aubree thought that Lucian had finally let go of his prejudices against her, and her voice was filled with delight.

Lucian frowned upon hearing her voice and subconsciously looked at Roxanne.
