Chapter 157
As soon as those words fell, everyone in the Qucen residence turned toward the mansion’s entrance. Roxanne also
did the same instinctively.
Lucian was dressed in a tailored black suit. The suit was so well-lined that it was showcasing the man’s toned figure.
With most of his hair combed to the back, his perfect lacial features were for everyone to see. At the same time,
those few stray strands of hair hanging down from his forehead prompted his gaze to appear even more icy-cold
than they were. All in all, he looked cold and distant.
Everyone’s gazes fell on him at once.
Aubree appeared behind him wearing a black dress. Her curly hair was hanging down on her chesi, and her red lips
were exceptionally eye-catching. Al that moment, her arm was seen wrapping around Sonya’s affectionately as
they followed Lucian from bchind.
With their matching outfits and the affectionate interaction between Aubree and Sonya, it was as if they were

Upon seeing that scene, Frieda glanced at Roxanne from the corners of her eyes. Sull, she was dissatisfied when
she saw Roxanne’s unperturbed facial expression. Right then, she deliberately held her mother’s hand and
exclaimed, “Wow! Lucian and Aubree look so great together!”
Henrietta didn’t know what they were up to, but she was aware of the close relationship between the Pearson
family and the Farwell family. Besides, Aubree was always seen together with Lucian. She nodded in agreement and
ultered, “It seems like they might get married soon.”
Roxanne’s expression changed slightly when she heard that. However, she quickly composed herself and lifted her
head once again.
Jonathan was standing next to Roxanne when he remembered the conflict between her and
ed at her. He was surprised when he saw how calm she looked.
Lucian wasn’t happy with the attention he had gotten from the crowd. His gaze turned cold, and he walked straight
toward the center of the birthday banquet. He wanted to just greet Alfred before coming up with an excuse to
separate from Aubree.
Henrietta and Zachary were closely acquainted with the Farwell family. Hence, they went up to welcome the guests
with a smile. “Hi! Welcome. This is…”
As they spoke, both of them glanced at Sonya.
Sonya merely smiled in response.
Next to her, Aubree seemed slightly shy when she greeted the elders politely. After that, she just listened as they
chatted.
As they were chatting, they were walking toward Alfred.
Roxanne panicked when she saw them approaching. She averted her gaze and wanted to just bid
Alfred goodbye before leaving.
Just when she wanted to do that, some guests came up to her and greeted her. Roxanne had no choice but to
exchange greetings with them. I’ve missed the perfect opportunity to get out of here.
Seconds later, Lucian and the others had arrived in front of her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRoxanne kept her head hung low to make herself look as inconspicuous as possible.
First, she heard the man greet Alfred in a deep voice before hearing the latter respond joyfully.
Right after that, she felt the man’s gaze fixate on her.
Roxanne clenched her fists and raised her gaze to look at the man. When Alfred mentioned her to them, she
politely nodded at them.
The whole time, Lucian couldn’t take his eyes off of her.
When Henrietta and Zachary went up to greet him earlier on, Lucian had already noticed Roxanne’s presence.
When he saw her standing next to Alfred, she looked elegant but slightly disinterested. With the long white dress on,
she looked as graceful as a swan. Although she didn’t put in much effort to dress up, she was still rather
captivating.
On the other hand, she had been avoiding eye contact with him from the moment he showed up.
The more she avoided him, the more Lucian wanted to take a closer look at her facial expression.
Sonya noticed her son was distracted, so she followed his line of sight. Her expression turned grim when her gaze
landed on Roxanne.
