Estella bobbed her head obediently.
After the three kids played in the room for some time, Estella glanced at the clock and urged, “Let’s go. Daddy is going to come back anytime soon!”
Hearing that, Archie and Benny got to their feet hastily.
It would be hard for them to bring Estella with them once Lucian came home.
The kids sneaked out of Estella’s room quietly.
Benny was the first to head downstairs to divert Catalina’s attention.
“Ms. Catalina, I’d like some water.” He gazed at Catalina and blinked innocently.
Catalina felt her heart melt, and she quickly turned around to pour him a cup of water without hesitation.
Archie took the chance to sprint out of the mansion with Estella in tow. They then hid in a corner and waited for Benny to leave. Inside the mansion, Catalina had just poured a cup of water for Benny and assumed he was about to go upstairs.
To her surprise, Benny gave her a polite bow. “Thank you, Ms. Catalina. I shall take my leave now.” Catalina frowned in puzzlement. “What about Archie?” They both came together, so she couldn’t understand why they would leave separately.
Benny pursed his lips guiltily. “Archie left a while ago. He and I snuck in here without telling Mommy, and we were busted. She’s probably giving him an earful right now.”
Catalina nodded understandingly. She found their antics amusing. I can’t believe they came this far just to visit a friend. Ms. Jarvis must be beside herself with worry.
She suddenly recalled what happened previously and offered, “I’ll ask someone to give you a ride home.” Benny waved his hands anxiously. “N-No need for that. My mommy is waiting for me outside,” he stammered out a lie.
Catalina didn’t ponder over his words and nodded. “Be careful.” Benny bobbed his head obediently and trotted out of the mansion. Once he was outside, he quickly ran toward Archie and Estella.
Archie waved at them. “Let’s go!” The other two agreed and trailed dutifully behind him.
After they exited the manor, Archie and Benny were especially vigilant. They had Estella with them, so it would be bad for them to encounter the older children they previously met.
Fortunately, they didn’t come across those kids throughout their journey and successfully arrived at the junction.
After finishing her tasks, Catalina belatedly remembered that she had forgotten to invite the boys to stay for lunch. She assumed they had arrived home by now.
Without thinking much, she went upstairs to get Estella. However, there was no response even after she knocked on the door for some time.
“Ms. Estella? Can I come in now?” Catalina asked worriedly. She carefully pushed the door open to realize that the room was empty. There was no one in sight.
Catalina’s heart sank to the bottom of her stomach. “Ms. Estella?” she raised her voice.
She searched the room frantically but to no avail. Just as she was about to call the bodyguards to search the surroundings downstairs, an idea dawned on her.
Benny’s actions seemed weird. Did Ms. Estella leave with them both? The thought of that possibility startled Catalina.
I let Mr. Farwell down by failing to look after Ms. Estella when he entrusted her to me this morning before leaving for work. She managed to slip away while I was on duty.
Feeling both guilty and remorseful, Catalina instantly contacted Lucian. Meanwhile, Lucian was listening to Cayden reporting the work progress in his office.
When he received Catalina’s call, he assumed Estella was throwing a tantrum again.
“Mr. Farwell, Ms. Estella left with Archie and Benny,” Catalina told him apologetically.
A scowl appeared on Lucian’s face when he learned about that.
Cayden became aware that the temperature in the office had dropped below the minimum.
He regarded his employer’s expression warily. I wonder what happened to Ms. Estella.
A while later, he sensed the temperature rising back to normal.
Lucian said, “Got it. I’ll pick her up there later.” His voice was deep as usual.
With that, he ended the call.
Cayden was confused as he had no idea what just happened.
Why did Mr. Farwell’s mood fluctuate?
Mere moments after Catalina hung up, Sonya arrived at the Farwell residence. “Mrs. Farwell.” Both Lucian and Estella weren’t around, so she didn’t know how to deal with Sonya.
Sonya gave a curt nod and glanced around the living room. “Where is Essie?” Catalina was at a loss for words. She could tell Lucian that the boys had taken Estella away, but she was too afraid to tell Sonya the truth.
After all, she knew that Sonya disliked Roxanne. “Uh, Ms. Estella…” Catalina hesitated. Sonya grew impatient. “Where is she? Is she upstairs? I’ll go take a look myself.”
With that, she strode upstairs. Catalina dared not stay anything and could only watch as Sonya headed upstairs to Estella’s room. A while later, Sonya stormed downstairs wearing an unhappy scowl.
“I thought Essie is supposed to be homeschooled. Why isn’t she around on a weekend?” she demanded. Giving Catalina a dubious look, she asked, “Did Lucian take her out?”
She pulled out her phone to call Lucian. Knowing it was impossible to hide the truth, Catalina revealed honestly, “Archie and Benny came earlier. I think… Ms. Estella left with them.”
Sonya’s expression turned as dark as thunder. “Who told you to let them in?”
I didn’t tell Lucian to bring Essie back so she could meet the boys! It’s pretty obvious where they would take her.
Sonya’s voice was shrill and demanding.
When Catalina heard Sonya’s question, she was filled with guilt since she had let the boys in secretly. She hung her head in shame silently.
Sonya glared at her. “I can’t believe you failed to take care of her!”
With that, she stormed out of the manor.
I brought her back the first time, so I can do it again!
After witnessing Sonya’s departure from the manor, Catalina hesitated briefly before dialing Lucian’s number once again.
Back in Farwell Group’s CEO’s office, Cayden was still reporting the work progress to Lucian. It was his first time seeing Lucian answering so many calls at work.
“Mrs. Farwell came earlier. She learned that Ms. Estella was taken away and might be…” Catalina trailed off helplessly.
Lucian’s brows furrowed. “Got it.”
He ended the call and told Cayden, “Send the rest to my email.”
Before Cayden could react, he noticed Lucian rising to his feet and hurrying toward the elevator.
Lucian’s expression was grim as he exited the elevator and got into his car. He then proceeded to drive to Roxanne’s house.
Previously, Estella couldn’t stop wailing when his mother forcibly dragged her out of Roxanne’s house.
He was worried that if Estella experienced another traumatic event, she would regress back to her old self.
She might even completely isolate herself from the outside world.
Lucian’s expression darkened when the thought of that possibility crossed his mind. He stepped on the gas pedal.
At the same time, the kids’ car rolled to a stop outside the mansion.
It had been a while since Estella had seen Roxanne, so the little girl was a bit anxious. She trailed behind the boys, wondering if Roxanne would still like her.
The boys had no idea what was on her mind and dragged her into the mansion.
Roxanne had just arrived home after working overtime.
She was about to head upstairs to see Archie and Benny. Right then, the mansion’s door creaked open, and in walked the three kids, holding hands.
Roxanne thought she was hallucinating when she saw Estella at her house.
“Ms. Jarvis…” Estella greeted softly. Nevertheless, the little girl was too afraid to approach her.
Roxanne snapped out of her reverie. The sight of Estella’s shy demeanor made her heart soften.

Let the story move ahead!! Let the truth come out…else this story is just dragging.
Loved it. More chapter please. Thanks.
Thanks for the chapters, I love it. Keep it moving. Let the truth unfold. Can’t wait for Sonya to find out what a monster Aubree really is. Hoping she will get caught sooner than later. More chapters please 🙏, please, please. At least every other day
My heart missing too many beats after reading the 10 chapters!! Please2, give us a break – finish it off. Its too much dragging now
How come Lucian’s people following Cory did not repirt hus meeting with Aubry and Frieda?!!! Yoy keep telling us about the poweful Lucian Farwell and yet so far he hasn t uncovered any of Aubry’s tricks, even now that Roxanne gave him informations to work with! What ? He needs the information to find him?!!!
This is so out of line and out of character!
The author overlooked that…
Ha…ha.. bull’s eye!
Thats not the only inconsistency. Most of the time frames dont add up. Weeks pass but the next paragraph only a few minutes. Its been multiple days since Essies seen Roxanne but in next paragraph its been only a day. They been in this country for months and then its only been a few weeks?!
Or how Lucian offer a blank check with unlimited money to the PI for info yet the PI refuses and then only ask for 10million?!? The PI was supposed to be outstanding yet no one else knows him and now he is shady.
Lucian inability to discover any info about the accidents that happen to his mother, Essie, the boys, the fire, and Roxanne… like cameras aren’t everywhere.
How Essie i swear has been in kindergarten for years even tho she is just 5 years old? Ik school is different depending on country you live in but still. Same with the boys they been hacking and investing for YEARS and they are just 5 years old. Did they start as newborn? At two years old… 😂😂😂
Hahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂🤣🤣 The kids are not humans 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That and how the kids had cash without taking it from Roxanne. They didnt go to the atm? They didnt go to the bank. Like were did the money appear from.
What bank is allowing 5 year old and under to open a bank account by themselves.
Even if this is from investors… minors cant enter a legal binding contract . Who exactly doing business with them. It still takes time for investment to be liquidated not immediate cash…
Tbh im pretty sure its a bot writing this story and not a human. 😅😅😅
It’s been sometimes, no new chapters, pls post new chapters tomorrow, tqvm
I agree. How can you proclaim Lucian as a powerful person and his people still miss the meeting between the reported and Aubrey
Thank you for the development
,, However l am kindly requesting for more chapters of this beautiful story
Too much emotions and then a halt when there’s no more chapters. Can the chapters be uploaded everyday and not keep dragging..
I honestly enjoyed this few chapters
Why both parents don’t tell the truth about the kids. More chapters please! Enjoying the book ♥️
Here we go again. Just 10 chapters? Please upload daily if you are only posting 10 chapters.
Let the truth come out through the mother and son dispute
Ja please
Hello,
Who edited this book? Why, grammar/syntax is horrible, unacceptable, and an embarrassment to literary masters and editors. So annoying! My grade schooler grandkids could render a lot better copy. Author paid the editor/s for naught.
Can the children identify be revealed now
The last set of Chapters give the reader hope that there is light at the end of the dark tunnel. All the kids have demonstrated their utmost care and love for each other which adults should not deny them. The author managed to carefully craft them keeping the reader anxious on what happened next. True kids are just born into a world where they victims of circumstances beyond their control but the author should soften the hard stance and soften the hearts of the adults. I can’t wait to see what happened next. It is an exciting book.
Yes please let the truth be told don’t let the story drag all over again was looking forward to a good few chapters.if this happens I tend to loose interest by waiting for minimum chapters.
Yes, please let the truth be told
more please
Interesting. Hope the truth will come out now when they all meet at Roxanne’s house.
536 chapters of wash, rinse, repeat!
Please update soon. 10 chapters are too few.
Disclose the secret to Lucian and so Lucian to Roxanne.
Pls ASAP! Thanks
I’m amazed by Archie and Benny. They are at kindergarten age, so probably 5yo, but they can trade stock and make money, can hack the system, can be left at home with no adults around, can go out hail a taxi themselves, can deal with the gangster boys…
Wow. Can a 5yo kid be like that in reality? So unreal.
No more comment on how the story has been dragging, as there are already so many and the author seems doesn’t care.
Yeah agreed 💯
Common,please apload the next chapter please..
This is not going to be a great thing when Sonja and Lucian show up. lol but maybe Sonja will be so furious she will spill the beans
This is not going to be a great thing when Sonja and Lucian show up. lol but maybe Sonja will be so furious she will spill the beans on Essie’s maternity!!
More chapters pls,
Pls post up to the last chapter so that we proceed reading another novels😅😅😅
Let the truth come out.more chapters pls.
Please give us more to read. Very interesting
The number of chapters to read keep getting fewer and fewer. Please get on with the story line. I love this story, please get it moving along.
Can’t wait to read more
Thankyou again..the story is going in the right direction…hopefully truths will be told and Lucian will open his eyes to Aubrey before something really bad happens…she will stop at nothing to pay some people to hurt 5yr old kids very unacceptable…may her punishment be as big as her crimes…great read atleast I didn’t feel the need to cry during these chapters thanks for that
Thank you, I can hardly wait for you to post the other chapter.
This is crazy, who in this world leave two 5 years old children at home alone. And also they can keep secrets. Nothing makes any sense.
They can also trade stock and make money, can hack the computer system, can go out call taxi themselves, pay for their trip. 😅 so unreal.
I am hoping that Lucian get to Roxanne house before or at the same time as his mother. I also hope that Sonya will let it out that Roxanne is Essie mother. Once again Aubree is doing the most, hurting children. She is such an evil person and should be caught during the next upload of chapters. Those kids are so amazing. Keep up the good work. Love this novel.
This chapter are absolutely brilliant and more exciting to read please keep updating can’t wait for the next chapter thanks again

It’s funny how everyday l come here for new chapters
More chapters please
Upload more please!
Editor – Author – Reading what could be a compelling story has become a bit like “ watching paint dry” I’m not sure how much direction or editorial advice author is getting nor whether author knows where this story is going. It is largely a regurgitation of same old characters / plots and no real movement. These last chapters have been an improvement however it has become largely a boring read which is a real pity.
What if Lucian did not file the divorce papers Roxanne left him and they are still married. Then maybe that’s why he did not get married to that evil woman Aubree. Please put Aubree to shame. Let her time be up and out. More chapters please. Thank you
I dont know if the author is serious in ending this novel coz it keeps going in circles. Kinda bit boring and an overdue.
Please more chapters it was more story lines and hope to read more about everyone finding out some truth about what has been hidden to long !!
Please update the chapters today. I need to read this story daily!
Post the next lot soon
It’s time for Archie and Benny to tell their father their identity. He can hide it from Roxanne until she’s comfortable with him. Otherwise, this story is beginning to look like Indian Zeeworld; as smart as Lucian is, he should have asked for the DNA of the boys due to the age proximity between them and Essie.
Thank you. Hope Lucian will just let them know that he did not sign the divorce papers and they are still married.
Tired of waiting for more chapters to come. Please update asap.
More.. upload the next chapters please
Anxiously waiting for more chapters the wickedness of Aubree must not go unpunished what an evil woman she will never bare a child
Does the author ever respond 🤔?
