Chapter 1042

Chapter 1042 I Should Not Be Asking This

Roxanne waited for quite a long time, but no one answered the phone. After that, the call was disconnected. If it

were in the past, she would never try calling back.

But this time, since it was about Archie and Benny, she had no choice but to make the call again. It took Roxanne

several tries before the other end finally answered the call.

“What is it, Ms. Jarvis?” Lucian’s voice was extremely cold and hostile, a far cry from his usual tone of speech.

Roxanne couldn’t help but freeze for a brief moment before she remembered the purpose of her phone call.

“Mr. Farwell, why do you always involve the children in matters between us adults?” With a cold voice, she uttered,

“Even though you forced Essie to transfer to another school without considering her condition, I don’t have

anything to say about that since she is your daughter. But how can you be so narrow-minded that you would reject

Archie and Benny’s visit?”

Lucian raised his brows when he heard Roxanne’s words.

Initially, he thought the reason she called him was to ask about Estella’s condition.

It hadn’t occurred to him that she would call to confront him.

In truth, Lucian had expected both Archie and Benny would come looking for Estella.

Still, he never thought they would come so early to see her.

Realizing that, Lucian’s gaze was filled with mockery. “You’ve used Archie and Benny before, so there’s no

guarantee you won’t do it again. I’m just taking precautions, that’s all. Is there a problem with that?”

Roxanne was at a loss for words. She knew Lucian was referring to the previous incident in which Archie and Benny

had gone looking for Estella without her knowledge.

Despite the fact that the incident had not been resolved, Roxanne had no intention of explaining any further.

“Even if that’s the case, it’s fine if you won’t let them inside. However, you should have made sure the kids were

safe and sound outside your house, Mr. Farwell.”

Upon hearing her words, Lucian’s expression darkened instantly. “What do you mean?”

Roxanne’s voice was brimming with rage. “Archie and Benny were both injured when they got back from your

place. They told me they were chased by a few juveniles. Do you need me to notify the police since the area

around your house is terribly unsafe?”

Roxanne could only think of one person who would pay the juveniles to hurt Archie and Benny, and that person was

Aubree.

As she recalled the scene she saw that night, Roxanne had already associated Lucian and Aubree together.



Since this was Aubree’s doing, Lucian may have been involved as well!

On the other hand, Lucian knew nothing about Archie and Benny going to the manor that morning, let alone know

about the boys’ dreadful encounter.

Despite the fact that he had already planned to comply with Roxanne’s request and cut off contact with them,

Archie and Benny had actually grown attached to him. Deep down, Lucian was also fond of them as well.

When he learned that the boys were hurt, Lucian was very much displeased. “Who did that to them?”

What kind of person would dare to harm Archie and Benny in broad daylight? And they even had the audacity to do

it near my manor!

Yet, Roxanne questioned him instead, “Shouldn’t I be asking you this question, Mr. Farwell?”

Hearing that, Lucian suddenly realized that the true reason for Roxanne’s phone call was actually about this matter.

At the end of the day, both Archie and Benny’s injuries happened near his residence.

With that thought in mind, Lucian’s tone softened gradually. “Honestly, I just found out about this. Don’t worry about

it. Since this incident happened on my turf, I will seek justice on behalf of Archie and Benny. I promise I shall get to

the bottom of this matter.”

Before she could regain her senses and organize her thoughts, Roxanne had already blurted out, “I hope you are a

man of your word, Mr. Farwell. No matter who is the mastermind behind the attack, you should provide an

explanation for the boys. After all…”
