Chapter 1434
Originally, Sonya did not intend to cause trouble for Roxanne at such an hour.
Yet she did not expect her son to release such a shocking announcement on the inte, and she only
found out while she was having dinner.
Sonya was so incensed that she didn''t even finish dinner. After throwing her cutleries in a rage, she set
off and drove to Roxanne''s house.
She was determined to make Lucian and Este cut ties with Roxanne as soon as possible.
Now that Sonya saw how dependent Este was on Roxanne, her anger was further fueled.
“Roxanne Jarvis, give me back my granddaughter,” she uttered frostily as if Roxanne had snatched
Este away from her.
Sensing Este''s nervousness, Roxanne gripped the former''s hand to soothe her anxiety. Next,
Roxanne lifted her head to face the woman opposite her.
If this had happened in the past, Roxanne might not know how to respond to a demand like this.
However, things were different now. She was Este''s mother, so she had the right to keep Este by
her side and the confidence to face the unreasonable Sonya.
“Essie is my daughter who was separated from me for years. It''s only right that she stays by my side.
What are you trying to do, Mrs. Farwell?”
Roxanne maintained eye contact with Sonya, showing no intention of backing down.
Roxanne maintained eye contact with Sonya, showing no intention of backing down.
Her words caused Sonya''s expression to change. “So you''re aware that you''re Essie''s mother? Then
where were you all these years? It was the Farwell family who put in so much effort to raise her. What
did you do? You proimed that you''re her mother right aftering back and took her away from the
Farwell family. Have you ever considered our feelings?”
Sonya spoke as if she was doing this solely for the sake of Este.
Feeling a pang of guilt, Roxanne looked down at Este apologetically.
The girl sensed her gaze and raised her head to sh Roxanne a bright grin. She showed no signs of
resentment toward Roxanne as her eyes shone with a look of reliance.

That made Roxanne regain her confidence. She met Sonya''s eyes firmly and uttered, “That''s why I
need to spend more time with Essie to make up for all those years I missed out on.”
The air of hostility around Sonya grew at that.
Roxanne continued calmly, “If, like what you said, you put in a lot of effort and raised Essie, then her
bond with you won''t change no matter how long she stays by my side. You don''t have to worry about
that.”
“If you really want me to stop worrying, then give Essie back! Just because you''re her mother doesn''t
mean I''ll allow you to join the Farwell family!” snapped Sonya with a steely look.
Roxanne maintained eye contact with Sonya, showing no intention of backing down.
As she said that, she even stepped forward in an attempt to grab Este.
Roxanne stepped sideways and shielded Este. With an icy expression, she voiced, “If that''s the
case, we should listen to Essie and respect her decision.”
She turned around and looked at Este. “Essie, do you want to go back with Grandma?”
Este shook her head without a second thought.
She had gone through so much to finally be with her mother. It was only natural that she did not want to
part with Roxanne.
When Sonya saw how Este rejected her without hesitating at all, her face turned grimmer than ever.
She used, “Who knows? Maybe you told her something while she was with you all this time.”
Immediately, Roxanne''s countenance darkened instantly. “Please watch your attitude toward the kids.
They can understand what you''re saying!” she warned, a forbidding aura surrounding her.
As she said that, she even stepped forward in an attempt to grab Este.
