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 Este’s condition.
It hadn’t urred to him that she would call to confront him.
In truth, Lucian had expected both Archie and Benny woulde looking for Este.
Still, he never thought they woulde 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 Este without her knowledge.
Despite the fact that the incident had not been resolved, Roxanne had no intention of exining 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 ce. 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 nned toply 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 exnation for the boys. After all…”
