Chapter 582
“There‘s something fishy about the accident. According to our investigation, the perpetrator is an unemployed
thug. He is not acquainted with the Farwell residence nor the Pearson residence at all. He doesn‘t seem to have any
reason to seek revenge on Ms. Jarvis and Ms. Pearson,” Cayden said in a low voice.
Even though Lucian had already guessed it, his expression still darkened when he listened to the information.
“Where is he right now?”
“That thug‘s guard is always up. He has been going from one entertainment outlet to another in Southern District. I
think he is trying to avoid our men,” Cayden explained.
“Since he‘s still in Horington, catch him as soon as possible,” Lucian instructed with knitted brows.
His mother had always used the car accident as an excuse to force him to keep the engagement.
Lucian, however, did not want to be tied down by it anymore.
He was extremely eager to find out the truth.
On the other end of the call, Cayden quickly agreed, “I will send people to catch him in the shortest time possible.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLucian nodded and soon hung up after giving Cayden a few more instructions.
His instincts told him that the car accident was not as simple as it seemed.
However, the truth would only be revealed after the perpetrator had been caught.
After hanging up the phone, Lucian remained in the study for a while to contain his emotions. Then, he went up the
stairs and knocked on Estella‘s door.
Catalina was still inside the room with Estella when she heard the knocking on the door. Knowing that it was Lucian,
she quickly got up to open it. “Mr. Farwell.”
Lucian glanced at his daughter and said to Catalina, “You may leave now.”
The latter agreed and walked out of the room, closing the door as she left.
Lucian remained standing at the door for a few moments. When he realized that Estella did not react to his
presence, he frowned and walked over to her.
“Are you mad because you‘re worried about Ms. Jarvis?” Lucian sat down next to Estella on her bed and poked her
chubby cheeks, trying to get her attention.
However, Estella ended up huffing and turning away from him.
It‘s all Daddy‘s fault! Ms. Jarvis really likes me, and she‘s avoiding me because she doesn‘t like Daddy! Ms. Jarvis
didn‘t even want me to take care of her now that she is hurt. I wonder how is she...
Upon thinking of that, Estella pursed her lips as her eyes reddened,
Lucian did not know how to deal with Estclla, and he was afraid of saying something wrong. He did not want her
condition to worsen.
Estella had finally started communicating normally with them instead of writing on a piece of paper. He really did
not want things to regress to how they were in the beginning.
After remaining silent for a long while, Lucian sighed heavily. “Are you blaming me?”
Estella answered with her silence,
Seeing thal, a sense of helplessness rose in Lucian‘s heart.
Estella was definitely Roxanne‘s daughter. Even if they were not aware of their relationship, Estella had the same
icmper as Roxanne.
It was all right for Roxanne to be distant from him, but it was different when hi he had raised since she was a baby,

g hter, whom
“Ms. Jarvis... is still hurt,” Estella mumbled. She sounded like she was about to cry.
Lucian‘s helplessness soon turned into heartache at her words. He patiently tried to comfort her, “I know you‘re
worried about Ms. Jarvis, but… there‘s still a misunderstanding between me and her. These can‘t be solved so
easily. We‘ll need time.”
Estella came back to her senses and stared at her father with a look of confusion in her eyes.
Lucian naturally would not explain too much to Estella, so he just said, “I will take care of this. Go to sleep, and I‘ll
take you to visit Ms. Jarvis after two days.”
Estella hesitated for a while before deciding to trust her father. She nodded obediently.
