Ophelia’s eyes lit up as she took the bag. carefully. Soon after, the two women went into a bar with Aubree in the lead. After booking a booth in the corner, they ordered two bottles of wine.
Upon settling down, the two started drinking while chatting. “You did well this time. Have you tied up all the loose ends?” Aubree asked, her tone tinged with concern.
Ophelia flashed a smile. “Don’t worry. I made sure not to leave any traces. Jeffrey didn’t notice anything wrong, and he simply thought that it was the little b*stard himself who was careless.”
“That’s good to hear.” Aubree instantly felt more at ease. Subsequently, a cold gleam settled in her eyes, and she added, “But doing this one time won’t be enough to alleviate the hatred in my heart!”
In her mind, Benny’s fall injury was just the tip of the iceberg of her revenge plan. She would need a lot more to finally feel satisfied.
In fact, it would be for the best if those brats could suffer more. Only then will Roxanne be able to experience what it’s like to live in despair Seeing how infuriated she was, Ophelia reassured her, “As long as I am still working in the kindergarten, there will still be a chance to make a move. I was too hasty this time, but I’ll definitely make those b*stards pay the next time.”
Aubree raised her head to observe Ophelia when she heard those words and noticed that the latter was filled with as much hatred as she was. Pleased with what she saw, she filled up a glass of wine and passed it over to Ophelia.
“I only have you to help me now. Don’t worry. I’ll remember everything you did for me, and as for the position I promised you at Pearson Group, I’ll keep that in mind as well. The moment the Pearson family makes a comeback, you shall become my right-hand woman!”
Seeing how confident Aubree was and the fact that she was still looking as glamorous as always, Ophelia became certain that the Pearson family was simply having a stroke of bad luck.
Filled with the hope that Aubree would make good on her promises, Ophelia raised her glass in a toast. As they drank, they discussed what they would do with the three little brats.
When they came out of the bar, Ophelia was no longer able to stand straight. Even so, she still gave her word to Aubree, promising, “I’ll definitely help you. I’ll put those three b*stards and that wench in their rightful places.”
Seeing how the woman was still declaring her loyalty to her when drunk, a disdainful glint. flashed across Aubree’s eyes.
The only reason I helped her back then was because it didn’t cost me anything. I never would have guessed that I would obtain such an obedient dog in the process. Regardless, all that money I spent on her was wasted as she’s still as gullible as ever.
Because of Benny’s injury, Roxanne took a leave of absence for all three of her children and stayed at home to take care of Benny for the time being.
Fortunately, the ointment she had developed was very effective, and when she applied it to Benny, his wound healed up rather quickly. In the past two days, Lucian would often come to visit the kids.
While Roxanne was busy taking care of Benny, she was also worrying about the projects at the research institute. In the end, she found out that, except for the project with the Damaris family, all the other projects were progressing smoothly.
Due to the previous incident, the project with the Damaris family had to be handled by Roxanne and Roxanne only. As such, the project was stalled the moment she left.
Since she was preoccupied with taking care of Benny, it took Roxanne a few days to realize that she had forgotten to give Jack a heads-up on the situation. Just when she was about to make a call to Jack to apologize, the man himself called her first.
Upon seeing the caller ID, Roxanne answered the call immediately. With an apologetic tone, she greeted, “Mr. Damaris.”
In response, Jack’s cold voice rang out. “It’s been a long time, Ms. Jarvis. I wonder how your drug research is going? Since we’re partners, shouldn’t you take the initiative to report this matter to me?”
His tone was filled with a sense of superiority as if he was commanding Roxanne to do her job. Although she felt uncomfortable at being chided, Roxanne was aware that she was in the wrong. As such, she decided to apologize. “I’m sorry, Mr. Damaris. I had some matters to take care of at home, so the research was temporarily delayed.”
When Jack heard this, his expression darkened, and his tone became even more displeased. “The same thing happened last time, and now, you’re giving me a similar excuse again? How many times are you going to delay the research progress because of your personal affairs, Ms. Jarvis?”
I bet the progress was delayed because she’s out frolicking with Lucian again..
Frowning, Roxanne explained, “Benny’s hand was injured, so I had to stay at home to look after him for a few days. Because of this, I had neither the time nor the heart to concern myself with matters happening at the research institute.”
Making up her mind, she added, “Of course, I’m well aware that I am the one at fault for delaying the research progress. Mr. Damaris, if you’re willing to put your trust in me, I’ll do my best to catch up with the progress when I get back. That being said, I have no complaints as well if you don’t want to wait any longer and wish to change a partner. I am also willing to compensate for the delay in accordance with Damaris Group’s requirements.”
Although the project with Damaris Group is important, it is nothing when compared to my son’s well-being. Jack’s anger gradually dissipated when he heard that the matter Roxanne had to deal with involved her son. Subsequently, he started to panic when he realized she was proposing to cancel the cooperation.
Easing his tone, he said, “My apologies. I was reprimanding an employee earlier, and my temper got the better of me. I hope you won’t mind that my tone was a bit harsh.”
Roxanne was as serious as ever when she asked, “So what are your plans, Mr. Damaris? I’ll give my full cooperation.”
Jack replied, “Naturally, I’d like to keep cooperating with your research institute. After all, you are the best traditional medicine practitioner that I approve of in Chanaea.”
After saying that, he complained, “Why didn’t you tell me that Benny was hurt? If I had known about this, I would have given you a few days off, and we wouldn’t be having this awkward conversation. Anyway, how is Benny faring? I’ll pay him a visit next time.”

Thank you very much for the chapters. Please upload soon, please, please, the waiting is too long. Jack need to know his place. I am glad Roxanne was stern with him. Should he show up at their house I hope the children will let him know that he is not welcome. As for Sonya she is a liar like Aubree, her son is an adult and is capable of making decisions concerning his personal life. Aubree and that Smith woman should be caught soon and be brought to justice. Only evil wicked, especially women will hurt children. Enough of Aubree and her psychotic behavior, please send her to where ever she and her accomplices belong. No more hurting the kids.
I agree!
Thanks for the update, please keep it coming.
I knew that Aubree’ friend was up to no good, but she won’t last
I thought by now Lucian would have known the truth about the boys, it’s dragging on too much
I love as Roxanne is gradually understanding Jack’s true color,
Overall you’re doing well
It’s very interesting I hope Lucian found out that the twins are his
Thank you writer for the updates..how I wish Aubree and Ophelia will be unmasked soon from their evil deed..And please if you may, take that Jack out of the story..he’s also a bad dude..More chapters please🙂
More chapters please….it’s dragging out
Upload more chapters please.
Oh boy. This is getting intense. Everyone wants to harm this family. It looks like it will be awhile before this family has a happy ending. Wait until they find out about the teacher, she will definitely regret her decisions. I look forward to more chapters.
Can’t wait to read more.
Anxious to know Lucian and Roxanne’s fate. More uploads please. A litte quicker though.
Thank you for the chapters. Can we have updates every other day, it’s always appear to be too long every three to four days. Just want the boys identities to be revealed.
So exciting. More chapters please.
Thanks for uploading ..always happy to wait for more chapters

Thanks alot to the author.
Next chapter plz
Great story
Very very interesting more chapters Please 💖
Jack will soon show his true color.
Aubree never make good friend. All her friends are just like! Birds of the same feathers!!!
I can’t wait for Lucian to discover the boys as his own blood. Plz hasten this part. Let Smith and Aubree put where they belong. Sonya is another problem, I can’t to see her face when DNA reveals that the boys are Farwells. She’s too evil minded
This book is amazing, more chapters please…I just can’t get enough of it, the ups and downs that Lucian and Roxanne are going through to come together as a family, keeps me intrigued and excited to read more.
It was too short. Aubree needs to be dealt with.
Ophelia needs to be caught
It’s time that the two L&R be joined in marriage don’t like Jack’s attitude towards Roxanne
Lucian’s father is much more loving and a more reasonable person than his wife. Hopefully he will learn what she has been doing and will make her see the light. Loving the noval. Long wait for chapters, more soon. Thank you.
Loving it. More chapters please. Long wait this time
Roxanne and Lucian relationship has gotten mellow. So beautiful to read, rather than the constant misunderstanding. She is much calmer, less tense with him, and he is patient with her and not arrogant as he used to be. His love for the boys are genuine. Please give them the life they desire soon. Remove all those obstacles in their way. Aubree is too evil and wicked,its time for her exit along with her accomplices. I hope Roxanne finds out the game Jack is up to. Can’t stand him,and Sonya.
Aubree continues to hurt the innocent children. I can’t believe as a doctor, Roxanne didn’t ask Benny what happened when he got injured. If she did she would have suspected something. Aubree and her sick friend need to be caught right handed and send them where they belong. Sonya is also not honest, no wonder she likes Aubree.
More chapters

It’s getting intense.
The wait is getting too much.
Please update more chapters soon.
Kudos 💪 to the Author and Editor
I like the way Roxanne dealt with Jack turning his offer down. The more relaxed relationship between Lucian and Roxanne is great. Their communication is much better, but Roxanne needs to disclose the identity of her boys. It doesn’t make any sense why she is still keeping from him.
Love how the story is going but there just isn’t enough chapters, please upload more asap
Interesting , more chapters pls.
Bad guys keep popping up😔
I wish the happy ending will
come soon.
Thank you,

This is getting intense. Everyone wants to harm this family. It looks like it will be awhile before this family has a happy ending. Wait until they find out about the teacher, she will definitely regret her decisions. Roxanne should just tell Luciana the truth about the two boys already. Anyway, I look forward to more chapters.
