Chapter 1074 Blame
Roxanne had not explained it clearly, but Lucian could infer what the issue was about.
Essie must’ve done something that upset her, so she wants to confront me!
Roxanne could sense the change in his emotions clearly as the surrounding temperature kept dropping.
She instinctively stepped back to maintain a distance from Lucian.
Upset with her thoughts about Estella, Lucian moved closer to her with an inquisitive gaze.

As the gap between them closed, Roxanne dug her nails into her palms and willed herself to remain calm so they
could continue their conversation. “I think Essie is a bit stubborn. It may be because she has autism, but she can’t
express her emotions clearly.”
Hearing that, Lucian finally halted in his tracks.
Estella tended to be stubborn, and he knew that.
However, he had never pondered over it.
Estella was particularly stubborn when it came to Roxanne. She refused to listen to anyone else, and as a result, her
condition would worsen.
Yet, she would get better swiftly if she got to spend time with Roxanne.
How does Roxanne know about this?
Frowning, Lucian asked, “Why did you say that?”
Roxanne turned around and looked downstairs. From her position, she could see the spot where Jack had parked his
car that morning. She could even visualize how Estella had done that in her mind.
Roxanne related the story to him. “Yesterday, I was supposed to have a medical consultation with Mr. Damaris. I
had to take a day off because I needed to take care of Essie. Mr. Damaris was worried and came to visit me this
morning with a bouquet of flowers. Essie misunderstood our relationship and punctured one of Mr. Damaris’ car
tires.”

Having said that, she let out a helpless sigh.
Lucian followed her gaze, and his eyes immediately turned dark when he heard her mention Jack’s name.

Of course, he trusted Estella unconditionally.
Lucian couldn’t imagine Estella doing such a deed when she was autistic.
The only possibility was that Roxanne had chosen to believe Jack’s version of the story and wrongly blamed Estella.
Lucian felt a stab of anger at that thought.
Roxanne was surprised. “Mr. Farwell, I understand that you have misunderstood my relationship with Mr. Damaris,
but I have always treated Essie equally to Archie and Benny. Why would I accuse her falsely?”
Even if it wasn’t Estella, Roxanne wouldn’t blame any other child for something they didn’t do.
She took a deep breath and continued, “Mr. Farwell, this may be difficult for you to accept, but Essie confessed to it.
I didn’t believe it at first, but it’s true.”
Lucian’s expression was icy cool as he scrutinized her.
Roxanne met his gaze calmly. “I don’t want Essie to recount the incident. If you don’t believe me, we can go check
the surveillance footage.”
It was pretty obvious by now that she was telling the truth, so Lucian chose to trust her.
He frowned and looked away from Roxanne, his thoughts a mystery to those around him.
