“Go back and teach your kids to behave.”
After what seemed like an eternity, Lucian finally uttered, “I believe kids are not born spiteful. If this happens again, I will take that to mean everyone here holds a grudge against Farwell Group.”
Although Lucian sounded understanding, his words carried an undertone of threat.
Everyone agreed unhesitatingly with Lucian.
However, as Lucian remained silent, no one dared to leave.
Roxanne spoke suddenly. “Essie is fine now. If there's nothing else, I'm heading back.”
After she was done speaking, Roxanne wanted to return Estella to Lucian and was prepared to leave.
Nonetheless, Estella held onto Roxanne tightly and refused to let go of her.
Estella had not seen Roxanne for quite some time, so it was understandable why she was reluctant to leave the woman.
Moreover, Estella had spent a great deal of effort in order to bring about the meeting between her father and Roxanne. She definitely would not let the latter go this easily.
“Essie...”
Roxanne felt awkward with Estella holding tightly onto her as the other parents stared at her curiously.
Refusing to let go of Roxanne, Estella said stubbornly, “No! I don't want Daddy!”
Upon hearing Estella's words, everyone exchanged looks.
“Ahem...” Someone realized the awkwardness of the situation and found an excuse to leave the scene. “Mr. Farwell, I will educate my child properly when I return home. I still have a meeting to attend, so I have to get back to work now.”
Lucian responded with an indifferent hum.
Upon seeing this, the rest of the crowd followed suit and left the office.
Everybody heaved a sigh of relief when they were out of the office.
They did not know how Roxanne was related to the Farwell family, but judging from the situation earlier, Estella had made Lucian look bad.
