News about the Farwell family’s two additional young heirs, who were given birth by Lucian’s ex-wife, caused an uproar in Horington. Of course, the journalists took action almost immediately. No one knew how they got the information, but they found and swarmed around Roxanne’s research institute and mansion.
Roxanne was still asleep when she received a call from Linda telling her not to leave the house that day. When Roxanne received that call, she was still in a daze.
However, the moment she got out of bed and saw the crowd outside, she panicked. The crowd was clearly there because of Farwell Group’s statement yesterday.
Noticing her room’s curtains were pulled open, the crowd downstairs hurriedly focused their cameras in the direction of her room window and began snapping pictures.
Shocked, Roxanne hastily drew her curtains. At the same time, her phone rang again. She grabbed it to take a glance, only to see it was from an unknown number. Suspicious, she answered it. The person on the other end of the phone asked, “Is this Ms. Jarvis? You and Mr. Farwell-”
Before the caller could finish his sentence, Roxanne hung up with rage swelling in her heart. How on earth did they find my number and address? Are journalists so well-informed these days?
Just as Roxanne was feeling shocked and annoyed, Estella woke up in a daze. She was happy to see Roxanne still in the room. With a smile, she stretched out her arms and said, “Mommy, I want a hug!”
Hence, Roxanne recollected herself and picked the girl up. As soon as she caught the latter’s scent, she was instantly relieved of her frustration.
Nonetheless, Estella seemed to sense Roxanne was in a bad mood. She caressed the latter’s face with concern. “Mommy, what’s wrong?” Smiling, Roxanne reassured, “It’s nothing. Come on. Let’s get you washed up.”
Estella nodded and crawled into Roxanne’s arms, curling up into a ball. The weight in Roxanne’s arms helped her calm down completely. After all, she had to stay calm since the children were at home. If not, they might get at fright.
When Roxanne finished helping Estella wash up, she opened the room door, wanting to go down to prepare breakfast. The moment she opened it, she saw Archie and Benny standing at the door..
Archie looked up at his mother, his expression tense. “Mommy, who are those people downstairs? Did Mrs. Farwell send them?” That was their first time seeing such a scene.
Moreover, Sonya paid a visit yesterday. Naturally, they thought it was her doing. Roxanne patted their heads to reassure them. “I don’t think so. Anyway, you two better not go out today. I’ll inform your teacher about this.”
It was impossible for the children to go out when such a crowd was encircling the house. The boys nodded. Their gazes were filled with wariness as they eyed the people outside who. looked like they would barge in anytime.
In fact, the boys were already thinking of ways to protect Roxanne if they actually barged into the house. In the meantime, Madilyn had just returned and saw the journalists swarming outside Roxanne’s house.
She had been busy dealing with a major operation for the past few days and was unaware of the news that was spreading. The first thing that came to her mind when she saw the crowd was that a medical accident had happened. As a doctor herself, Madilyn knew how much fuss a medical accident could cause.
At that thought, she hurriedly pulled out her phone to get to the bottom of it. Instead of finding news about her best friend being involved in a medical incident, she found the latter’s scandals.
