Roxanne's thoughts were in disarray.
Still, she defended the children against Jack's accusation. “You're overthinking it, Mr. Damaris. There's no way these young children can do something like this. Besides, you're assuming they have the strength to pull this off, a strength that they may not possess.”
Jack smiled indifferently. “It was just a guess. Besides, as I said, I'm not harboring any animosity toward them. It'll be great if that's not the case.”
Roxanne forced a smile.
After Jack left, she returned to the mansion with a complicated expression.
The children were huddled together, discussing Roxanne's relationship with Jack and how they could force him to leave far away from her.
They dispersed immediately when they saw Roxanne entering.
On her way back, she kept thinking about Jack's words.
Upon closing the door behind her, she sat next to the children.
“Mommy.”
“Ms. Jarvis.”
The children promptly gathered around her.
Instead of responding to or looking at them, Roxanne lowered her eyes and asked, “Did you all know about Mr. Damaris' punctured tire?”
The children nodded innocently because that was the first thing Jack had mentioned when he returned to the house.
