After a prolonged moment of silence, Sonya said with a gloomy look on her face, “You're going to go that far for her, huh? Fine! I'll leave so I won't get in the way of your happy little family!”
She turned around and was about to leave when Lucian called out to her, “You should stay in the manor for today. I have something to announce once Essie feels better.”
Sonya paused in her tracks and shot him a confused glance. “What is it?”
This is the first time Lucian has asked me to stay over at the manor, so whatever it is he wants to announce must be very important. Wait a minute... He said he was fine with giving up his position as CEO of Farwell Group earlier... Is that what he's going to announce? This is all Roxanne's fault! Lucian wouldn't have made such irrational decisions if it weren't for her!
Sonya turned toward Roxanne and shot her a vicious glare.
Roxanne simply ignored her gaze and continued comforting Estella.
“You'd better think this through, Lucian. Ask yourself if that woman is worth you giving up Farwell Group!” Sonya warned Lucian with a furious look in her eyes.
Lucian could tell from Sonya's behavior that she was starting to get scared.
“Just because I have something to announce doesn't necessarily mean it's about Farwell Group, so you have nothing to worry about.”
Sonya paused and looked suspiciously at them for a few seconds before going up the stairs.
Realizing that Aubree and Sonya were gone from the living room, Estella slowly stopped sobbing and looked up at Roxanne with tears in her eyes.
Roxanne felt her heart ache when she met Estella's eyes. “Don't worry, Essie. I'll be sure to protect you.”
