NovelEnglishChapter 1056 It Is Clear Roxanne felt that this was unjust for Estella. “Just because Essie is a Farwell, does that mean she should be treated this way and not be allowed to befriend people she likes?” Sonya sneered, “If you're talking about your sons, then she isn’t allowed to befriend them.” A flash of disappointment crossed Archie and Benny's faces when they heard that.
Does Grandma hate us that much? She won't even allow us to be friends with Essie. Roxanne was upset, too.
“Mrs. Farwell, the children have nothing to do with our grudge.” Roxanne knew that the elderly lady’s hatred for Archie and Benny must have stemmed from her, for they rarely interacted with Sonya.

For one split second, Roxanne had the urge to reveal Archie and Benny's identities to Sonya so she would stop insulting her boys.
Sonya was not interested in arguing with Roxanne. Her attention was focused on Estella as she coaxed, “Con, Essie. Let's go home.” Frightened by their argument, Estella shook her head vigorously in response to Sonya’s words, her eyes reddened in fear. No! | don’t want to leave. | want to stay and play with Archie and Benny! A fresh swell of rage rose within Sonya when she realized Estella wasn’t going to listen to her. Initially, she wanted to apologize to Estella for yelling at her previously.
Alas, she never imagined that Estella would choose Roxanne over her! Blind with rage, Sonya stepped forward with an ugly scowl, intending to push Roxanne away.
Roxanne held the kids’ hands and retreated warily. Sonya was about to make a move when a car honked outside the mansion.
Roxanne instinctively glanced toward the source of the noise and saw Lucian alighting from his car. He strode over to them.
From afar, he was giving off an intimidating air.
Roxanne’s heart sank at the sight. If Lucian insists on taking Essie with him, | can’t stop him.

Sensing the change in Roxanne’s attitude, Sonya stopped warily and turned over her shoulder.
The sight of her son gave her confidence. “Lucian, I'm glad you're here. You must be here to pick Essie up, right?” Roxanne cast her gaze downward, unsure of how to face him.
Lucian frowned slightly and said nothing.
Sonya shook her head in disbelief and added, “I can’t believe those boys. They must have said something to Essie to make her follow them willingly. I'm not happy about this at all. I think it would be best if Essie stayed with me.” Estella’s eyes widened in shock when she heard that. She promptly burst into tears.
Instantly, all eyes were upon her.
“No!” Estella wailed so hard that she couldn’t even open her eyes wide. “I want Ms. Jarvis...” She wanted Roxanne, so it was obvious what she didn’t want.
Despite being humiliated, Sonya had to make an effort to restrain her anger in her son’s presence. To try and comfort Estella, she coaxed, “Con, stop crying. I'll buy you a present if you followhome. Anything you want, | promise.” Estella wrapped her arms around Roxanne’s leg tightly and said nothing. She merely shook her head vigorously while bawling.
