Chapter 1147


    Pam had not been paying attention to Este, and she dared not tell any lies in the face of Lucian’''s


    gaze.


    Thus, half-way through her speech, she turned to cast a pleading look at Roxanne.


    Roxanne had nned to talk to Lucian about it anyway, so when her eyes met with Pam’s, she


    continued where Pam trailed off.


    "The kids crowded around Essie and said something to her.They even stepped on Essie’s hand.Essie


    resisted, but they pushed her down again.I only intervened when I couldn''t bear to watch it anymore."


    Roxanne could somewhat guess what the children had said to Este, but she did not want to rub salt


    into the girl''s wound.


    As Roxanne gave Lucian the exnation, Lucian’s expression turned colder.


    At the same time, the more Roxanne said, the angrier she became.


    She questioned, "The intense way the kids bullied Essie means that this has been going on for more


    than a day or two.Do you really not know anything about this, Mr.Farwell?"


    Why did he put Esste in a school like this? Is it because he has decided to get together with Aubree


    and is nning to have another child with her? Is that why he''s neglecting her? The thought of that


    possibility made Roxanne’s heart sink, and in her heartache, she tightened her grip around Este.


    Lucian did not speak, but he strode toward her.


    Instinctively, Roxanne wanted to move backward, but the couch was right behind her, and she could


    not do that.


    In no time, Lucian was right in front of her.


    Roxanne tensed.


    Right as she was about to question him as to what he was trying to do, Lucian reached out to hold


    Este''s injured hand.


    After checking Este''s injury, Lucian turned around and fixed his gaze on Pam again.


    "Is this how your kindergarten looks after the children?"


    Pam''s heart lurched.


    She had always thought that Este was not the kind of child to cause trouble, so she never put too


    much attention to her.She did not expect other children to still be so hostile toward Este despite her


    having done nothing to them.


    Now, trouble hade, and Lucian had found out about it.


    Pam could not even summon the courage to defend herself.


    "I''m sorry, Mr.Farwell.This is an oversight on my pa. Before she could finish her sentence, Lucian


    interrupted her.

    "The conflict between Essie and the kids isn''t something that happened recently, but you''ve only found


    out about it today.If the kindergarten can''t even handle the troubles in the children’s rtionships, I


    don''t see the point in letting my daughter stay here any longer!"


    At that, Pam panicked.


    "Mr.Farwell, this is genuinely an oversight on my part.I''ll take note of this in the future.Please don''t put


    me in a tight spot like this."


    Then, she gave Roxanne another pleading look.


    Even though Roxanne was upset about Pam’s negligence, she found Lucian''s words absurd.


    "Mr.Farwell, don''t you think you should do some self- reflection when you me the teacher for this? I


    refuse to believe that Essie acted perfectly normal at home these few days.Did you not notice anything


    amiss about her at all?" she refuted.


    Pam never thought that Roxanne would dare to speak to Lucian in a tone like that, so she was


    astounded.She then bted realized that she was no longer in the spotlight.


    At that, she let out a relieved sigh under her breath before trying her best to keep a low profile.


    Indeed, Lucian''s attention was caught by Roxanne’s words.


    Yet, there was no exnation he could offer.


    Aubree had been the one sending and picking Este up from the kindergartentely.


    In short, he barely came into contact with the teachers.


    While he did notice Este''s low mood, he thought it was merely because she did not like the new


    kindergarten.


    Never in his wildest dream did he expect something like this to happen.
