Sonya gazed at Roxanne, finding the latter different from usual. She seems… fiercer.
Realizing that, Sonya scowled. “How dare you talk to me like that? Do you really think you’ve become Lucian’s wife
just because he posted that statement on the internet today?”
Roxanne responded curtly, “I never thought that way. I’m just telling you the truth. If you think my words are too
harsh, why didn’t you wonder if you’ve gone a little too far?”
There was nothing wrong with her words, but her tone was sharp.
Sonya’s face contorted with anger, and she lowered her head to glance at Archie and Benny, who eyed her with
hostile gazes.
The boys truly hoped Sonya could accept them, but they were displeased to hear the way she talked about them.

Moreover, it was obvious that Sonya was bullying Roxanne—all the more reason for them to glower at her.
However, Sonya’s anger only spiked further when she met the boys’ gazes. “Did I say something wrong? I really
don’t understand what’s wrong with Lucian. How could he make an announcement saying these two are his?”
Now that Sonya had directed her malice at them, both Archie and Benny’s blood boiled, so much so that they
almost pounced on her and attacked her.
Regardless, their expressions only made Sonya dislike them more. “How could these uneducated children be part of
the Farwell family? Who knows? They might be products of your entanglement with another random man. The
audacity of you to even attempt to make them heirs of the Farwell family? You’re delusional!”
At that point, Roxanne had forgotten all about being polite. “Mrs. Farwell! Essie, Archie, and Benny are my children.
Even if they don’t get to live in the Farwell residence, I’ll still provide them with a comfortable life. Don’t worry. We
don’t want a single cent from the Farwell family!”

Sonya scoffed, “Who do you think you are? What makes you think you can do that?”
As soon as she finished, Benny piped up, “We don’t want Mr. Farwell’s money! If we need money, we can earn it on
our own!”
However, Sonya felt as if she had heard a joke.
These six-year-old kids are so full of themselves. They’re actually telling me they can earn money on their own!
Hah! They’re willing to say anything just to be accepted into the Farwell family.
Sonya could not be bothered to argue with them, so she uttered coldly, “I applaud your courage and integrity for
saying that. Since you’ve said so, you’d better not use Essie’s name as an excuse to live with Lucian.”
In other words, she believed they would use Estella as their stepping stone to earn themselves a place in the Farwell
family.

Roxanne was so close to landing a tight slap on Sonya’s face, but she put a lid on her anger. “That was never my
intention! And please stop assuming the worst of my children. If you don’t plan to communicate properly, then
please go home. We don’t welcome people who can’t talk politely.”
Sonya sneered, “I’m not here to communicate with you, anyway. Sure, I can leave, but Essie has to come home
with me.”
The tension between the two adults filled Estella with panic and fear. The moment she heard Sonya’s words, her
face turned red, and she said tearfully, “I don’t want to! I want to be with Mommy!”
Sonya’s face purpled with rage. “You’ll have a better mommy in the future!”
Still, Estella kept shaking her head. “No! I just want Mommy!”
Roxanne’s heart ached as she pulled the little girl into her embrace. “If you want to take Essie away, then please
give Lucian a call. I won’t say anything if he agrees,” she said to Sonya.
