A Stern Warning
Upon leaving the research institute, Roxanne and Lucian went to pick up the children from school.
When the school's management saw the two of them, they seized the opportunity to sincerely apologize
for what happened.
From their explanation, Lucian and Roxanne learned that the vice principal who was bribed by Dave had
been sacked.
Moreover, the four students who bullied Archie and Benny were also asked to leave the school.
On top of that, the school was reevaluating its disciplinary policies to prevent a repeat of similar
incidents.
In the end, Lucian and Roxanne accepted their apology begrudgingly. They didn't want to burn any
bridges, as the school did provide a conducive learning environment for the children.
Finally, they returned to the manor with the children after declining an invitation to dinner from the school
management.
Arriving at the gate, they were greeted by the sight of Grant pacing back and forth.
He looked weary as he moved around awkwardly.
Yet Roxanne—utterly disappointed with him—no longer fell for the pitiful charade he had put on.
“Mommy, is that Granddad?” Estella asked upon recognizing him.
Lucian's gaze shifted to his wife as if to ask her if they should stop.
At the same time, Archie and Benny stared out the window, wondering what their grandfather wanted.
Nonetheless, Roxanne shook her head in response.
She no longer wanted to be tricked again.
Lucian replied to the children, “We'll be heading home first. If there's anything your granddad needs, I'll
deal with it later.”
Meanwhile, Grant raised his gaze and gave the car a complicated look.
Realizing that the car wasn't going to stop, he hesitated momentarily before deciding to step aside.
Roxanne even averted her eyes, not wanting to spare him even a single glance as they passed him by.
Once their car drove into the manor and the gates closed behind them, Lucian told Roxanne to lead the
children back to their rooms.
“If you don't want to see him, I'll go out and talk to him.”
If Grant were to continue playing the victim at their door every day, it would be difficult for them to explain
to the children.
Thus, Lucian figured that clearing the air was for the best.
With that, the butler drove Lucian to the main gate in the manor's buggy.
As he walked up to Grant, the previously cordial attitude he had was now replaced by indifference. “Mr.
Jarvis, what are you up to this time? Are you planning to give the children presents again? If that's the
case, you can save it. They don't need anything from you.”
Lucian had expected Grant to panic.
Yet a sense of numbness was written across his face. The listless look in his eyes made them look like a
bottomless abyss.
“Lucian... I... There's something I want to tell you.” Grant's lips twitched as he spoke in a helpless tone.
The surprised Lucian furrowed his brows. Who gave him permission to address me that liberally?
“Mr. Jarvis, I believe you have made a mistake. If money is what you need, you should be speaking to
Mr. Crawford!” Lucian's eyes narrowed.
There was no need for him to conceal the fact that Grant was secretly working with Jonas.
“Is the millions given by Mr. Crawford not enough? How much money do you really want?” Lucian
flashed a smirk as he waited for Grant's reaction.
Finally, the panic in Grant's eyes began to show. “Y-You knew about it?”
“There's nothing in Horington that gets past me, so drop your pathetic charade already. Now that the
children have acknowledged you as their granddad, you had better not show your face here ever again!”
The threatening tone in Lucian's voice was unmistakable.
