Entangled Schemes

“What is it?” Aubree asked with a scowl. Frieda retrieved her phone and showed her a few photos.There was a tent in the first photo. Not far away from the tent was a white skirt.Nothing else was shown, but Aubree’s face was already grim.I know the tent. It was the one Roxanne and the little b*stards set up that day. The white skirt is most probably the one I wore that day.The photo didn’t show anything else, so the person who took the photo was obviously targeting her.In the following photo, Aubree could be seen wearing that white skirt. She was holding a white medicine bottle with an unknown substance inside.The photos showed what Aubree had done that day.Finally, the series of photos ended when Aubree finished positioning the bacterium and made her exit.Aubree’s face was as dark as thunder by the time she scrolled to the last picture.“Where did you get these?” she demanded.Frieda quickly explained, “I don’t know. Someone sent them to me yesterday with a text.”She hurried

Reevaluating Efforts

Meanwhile, in the CEO’s office of Farwell Group, Jonathan was sitting in front of Lucian with a teasing smile on his face. “I hear a portion of medicinal herbs from Herbscape Group’s overseas branch has been shipped back to Horington.”Lucian simply nodded without saying anything in response.“Back then, I suggested you lend a helping hand, but you refused to do so. Now, look what has happened!” Jonathan continued with a chuckle.I thought he was actually going to ignore Roxanne completely, but he ended up intervening anyway!“Well? How did Dr. Jarvis respond to you lending her a hand?” Jonathan asked.The look on Lucian’s face turned gloomy the moment he heard that.When Jonathan didn’t get a response from Lucian, he slowly came to realize that he had said something he shouldn’t have.From his expression, it’s obvious that their relationship has yet to improve. In fact, it might even have gotten worse. This doesn’t make any sense, though…Noticing the confused frown on Jonathan’s fa

Estella's Transition: A Difficult Decision

Jonathan had wanted to try persuading him further, but Lucian cut him off, “I have a meeting to attend. We’ll talk about this some other time.” Jonathan had no choice but to get up and leave the office.After stepping out of Farwell Group, Jonathan thought about the advice he had given Lucian earlier and regretted every single word he said.If I had known things were that bad between them, I would’ve changed the way I worded my sentences! Now, look what I’ve done! Not only did Roxanne show no interest in Lucian whatsoever, but he has also given up on winning her over! Honestly, I feel really bad for Essie. She really likes Roxanne and wants her to become her mother someday. The best part about this is the fact that Roxanne is her biological mother. However, she’s in for a huge disappointment, as Lucian has already given up on winning her over. There’s only so much a child like Essie can handle…Of course, Lucian had thought about the exact same thing.He showed up outside the kinderg

Unexpected Goodbyes: Coping with Estella's Transfer

Meanwhile, Archie and Benny were standing next to Pippa at the kindergarten. “Where did Essie go, Ms. Ward?”Pippa had no idea where Estella went, but she tried to rea*sure the boys. “Essie took the day off. But I’m not too sure about the reason.”“Will we be able to see her tomorrow?” Archie asked.Pippa was hesitant to answer that question at first. Seeing how anxious the two of them were, however, she flashed them a smile. “Yes, you will.”Only then did Archie and Benny breathe sighs of relief.When cla*ses were almost over, Pippa received a call from the head of kindergarten.He summoned her to his office and handed her a document and a pen.“All that’s left to do is for you to sign this.”Pippa took the pen and quickly read through the document.“Essie is transferring to another kindergarten? But why? Is there something we’re not doing well enough?” she asked in confusion when she realized what it was.“Mr. Farwell said it was a personal reason. He also said he would continue fu

The Unspoken Promise: Archie and Benny's Resolve

Archie and Benny told me that Essie took the day off yesterday afternoon. I a*sumed Lucian had something urgent to do, so I didn’t give it much thought. Who would’ve known Essie would be transferring away the next day… After taking a moment to recompose herself, Roxanne asked, “Did she cry?”Estella had cried a lot when Archie and Benny had been expelled, so she a*sumed Archie and Benny would also feel upset about her leaving.Benny shook his head. “We didn’t get to see Essie. It was Ms. Ward who told us about it.”They didn’t know if Estella had cried about her transfer.It wasn’t until they heard Roxanne’s question that they realized Estella was probably just as upset as they were, if not more.Archie and Benny tugged anxiously at Roxanne’s shirt. “Let’s go visit Essie, Mommy! She must be really sad right now!”Roxanne wanted to visit Estella too, but the mere thought of heading over to the Farwell residence reminded her of what she had seen that night.Lucian and Aubree were chatt

Whispers of Hope: A Family's Determination

Naturally, Archie and Benny also knew Estella wouldn’t be thrilled to attend a new school. Nevertheless, they decided not to push that matter further when they saw Roxanne’s reddened eyes.“We got it, Mommy.”Roxanne forced a smile at her kids. “Let’s finish our meals and get rested earlier.”The boys nodded obediently.Subsequently, the trio had their dinner absentmindedly.They returned to their rooms after taking a few bites of their food.Roxanne lay on her bed, looking at the conch shell Estella gave her, with complicated emotions churning within her.She had just been listening to Archie and Benny giving her an account of their fun time hanging out with Estella the day before.Unexpectedly, Lucian had transferred Estella to another school that day.She could easily imagine how hard Estella would’ve cried when the latter was informed of that matter.Nonetheless, she wa

Shadows of Influence: The Farwell Family Saga

Archie and Benny hailed a taxi as soon as they successfully snuck out of the mansion. Initially, the driver was hesitant to drive both children upon seeing them.However, he glanced at the residential area where they came running out from and started the engine immediately after they informed him of their destination.This will earn me a lot, given how rich their parents are!All the while, neither of the boys was aware of the driver’s thoughts as they focused on coming up with excuses for when they met their father.After a while, the car stopped in front of the Farwell residence.The driver looked at the entrance of the house while waiting eagerly for someone to come out and pay him.Archie took out a hundred from his small backpack and handed it over to the driver. “You can keep the change.”The price meter indicated that the trip would cost them sixty, but the kids didn’t feel like getting their change back in their eagerness to meet up with Estella.Meanwhile, the driver was sta

Undercover Escape

The hooligans seemed surprise after hearing what she told them and glancing at the stack of cash they were offered. “Are you sure we’re going after two kids?”Given the huge amount Aubree offered, they suspected she was messing with them and a*sumed she would have them fight some trained fighters.To their surprise, Aubree frowned impatiently. “Are you taking on this task or not? Fine with me if you don’t!”They agreed with it immediately and pointed in the direction that Aubree had indicated to them. “Over there, right? We’ll head over there right now!”With that, they sprinted in Archie and Benny’s direction.Aubree was feeling self-conceited as she watched the hooligans spring into action and imagined the trouble the two young boys would soon be in.All the while, Archie and Benny had no idea what they would soon be facing.Benny lamented with a troubled look on his face, “Archie, does this mean we won’t get to see Essie again?”Estella was sent to the Farwell main residence, but

Family Struggles

Not long after, Archie and Benny slowly ambled down the stairs. They did not want Roxanne to see their injured arms, so they deliberately changed into their pajamas with long sleeves.Roxanne was waiting for them by the dining table. As Archie and Benny walked up to her, she suddenly felt something was amiss.She stared at Benny for a long time. Then, she frowned and asked, “Benny, what happened to your hand?”A scrape on Benny’s hand appeared rather unsightly.Hearing his mom’s question, Benny stiffened up. He followed Roxanne’s gaze and noticed the scrape on his palm.Upon seeing that wound, Benny immediately looked at Archie for help.Archie knitted his brows tightly.He figured Benny must have injured his palm when the older kids pushed them earlier.Still, he did not expect the scrape on Benny’s palm would be so eye-catching.Roxanne quickly sensed that her kids were hiding something from her. “Ms. Lane told me you were asleep the whole day. Did you boys sneak out?”She knew her

Unforeseen Consequences

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 thou
