Chapter 1144 Roxanne felt utterly helpless.
She knew Lucian was mad at her, but she never expected him to reject her call.
Upon hearing Pamela’s words, Roxanne had no choice but to put Estella down resignedly.
After she put her down, Estella hurriedly clung to her leg, unwilling to let go no matter what anyone said.

However, Estella kept her eyes fixed on Roxanne as if she had heard nothing.
The entire situation left Pamela in an awkward position. At the stime, she began to wonder what Roxanne’s relationship with Estella was.
Seeing that, Roxanne patted Estella’s head. “Be a good girl and go to your teacher, Essie.” Estella shook her head fervently and showed Roxanne her injured hand again. She whined, “My hand. It hurts Roxanne’s heart ached when she saw the red mark on the back of Estella’s hand. She stroked it gently and said to Pamela, “Please help Essie to apply smedication later. Her hand was stepped on earlier.” Of course, Pamela was unaware of that incident.
When she heard Roxanne’s words, she quickly approached to examine Essie’s hand.
The second she saw the mark on the back of Estella’s hand, her heart sank. “Essie, what happened? Who bullied you?” Pamela was horrified. After all, she, as a teacher, had absolutely no idea the daughter of Farwell Group had been injured in her class Still, Estella pursed her lips and said nothing.
Seeing that, Roxanne had no choice but to explain, “It's the children from just now. I've already taught them a lesson, but please look after Essie more in the future. At the very least, don’t let her get bullied. She's not very sociable” Pamela nodded vigorously, feeling more certain that the woman in front of her had ssort of relationship with Estella Regardless, because of Roxanne’s ever-changing answer, Pamela decided to ask Estella, “Essie, can you tellwho this lady is to you?” Worried Estella might ignore her like how she did earlier, Pamela added, “If you don’t tell me, | have no choice but to get the police.” Sure enough, the idea of getting the police triggered a response from Estella. “Mommy!” Pamela felt as if she was about to break into a cold sweat.
One moment, the lady claims to be her mommy. In the next, she’s her aunt. And now, Essie’s tellingthe lady’s her mommy.
After stime, Pamela got to her feet abruptly and took out her phone again.
Thinking Pamela was going to make a police report, Roxanne did not stop her. After all, she knew her identity was suspicious, and she had no proof to confirm it.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe call finally connected after stime. However, the words that cout of Pamela's mouth were “Mr Farwell.” Upon hearing that, Roxanne froze to the spot.
She was already mentally unprepared when she had to call Lucian earlier.
And now Pamela had directly given Lucian a call without a word of warning.
Furthermore, Roxanne never expected Lucian to answer it so quickly.
He hung up onjust now...
Lucian said something into the phone, to which Pamela explained, “A lady suddenly cto the kindergarten looking for Essie, and Essie seems to be close to her. The problem is that this lady claimed to be Essie’s mother at first and aunt the next. | couldn't confirm her real identity, so I'm calling you to get your verification.” Cold sweat trickled down Roxanne’s back when she heard Pamela even recounting the incident where she had claimed to be Estella’s mother.
