Chapter 738 No Evidence
Lucian’s frown deepened when he heard the boys, and he eventually decided to hold his tongue. As the children looked on eagerly, Lucian sat down at the table and took a sip of the drink made by Archie and Benny.
Estella, too, happily joined her father and drank a mouthful until she ended up with a milk mustache. “Archie, Benny, you guys are amazing!” she exclaimed.
Wow! I’ve never even made breakfast for myself before! Amused by the look of admiration on Estella’s face, Roxanne chuckled and promptly handed her a piece of tissue.
Archie and Benny, on the contrary, were feeling mighty proud of themselves after the little girl’s compliment. “You could’ve told me if you didn’t have time to prepare breakfast. I can always take the kids out to eat,” Lucian said in a low voice.
Right there and then, Roxanne suddenly remembered why she had wanted to call earlier and turned her attention to Lucian. “I’ve already settled everything on my end, Mr. Farwell. I won’t have to trouble you again.”
As for what she was referring to, the two of them knew perfectly well while the three kids stayed in the dark. All the kids knew was that they’d no longer be able to attend school together, which left them sorely disappointed.
Puzzled, Lucian furrowed his brows and glanced at Roxanne.
What? I can’t believe Roxanne has managed to settle the matter. I left so hastily this morning that I haven’t even read the online discussion. Did the Farwell Group’s warning to the Hightower family last night work? Was that why everything worked out?
“Professor Lambert helped me quite a bit,” Roxanne said with a smile. “That’s why it all went rather smoothly.”
Upon hearing that Harvey had lent a helping hand, Lucian began to feel his inner doubts melt away.
After all, Harvey was a more persuasive and compelling figure in the medical field than the Farwell Group could ever be.
Alas, it wasn’t convenient for Roxanne and Lucian to discuss the matter in front of the children, so the latter merely nodded his acknowledgment. “Got it.”
After breakfast, Roxanne decided to head out with her family since she figured there wouldn’t be any problems at the research institute.
