Originally, Sonya did not intend to cause trouble for Roxanne at such an hour.
Yet she did not expect her son to release such a shocking announcement on the internet, and she only found out while she was having dinner.
Sonya was so incensed that she didn't even finish dinner. After throwing her cutleries in a rage, she set off and drove to Roxanne's house.
She was determined to make Lucian and Estella cut ties with Roxanne as soon as possible.
Now that Sonya saw how dependent Estella was on Roxanne, her anger was further fueled.
“Roxanne Jarvis, give me back my granddaughter,” she uttered frostily as if Roxanne had snatched Estella away from her.
Sensing Estella's nervousness, Roxanne gripped the former's hand to soothe her anxiety. Next, Roxanne lifted her head to face the woman opposite her.
If this had happened in the past, Roxanne might not know how to respond to a demand like this.
However, things were different now. She was Estella's mother, so she had the right to keep Estella by her side and the confidence to face the unreasonable Sonya.
“Essie is my daughter who was separated from me for years. It's only right that she stays by my side. What are you trying to do, Mrs. Farwell?”
Roxanne maintained eye contact with Sonya, showing no intention of backing down.

Her words caused Sonya's expression to change. “So you're aware that you're Essie's mother? Then where were you all these years? It was the Farwell family who put in so much effort to raise her. What did you do? You proclaimed that you're her mother right after coming back and took her away from the Farwell family. Have you ever considered our feelings?”
Sonya spoke as if she was doing this solely for the sake of Estella.
