Chapter 840 | Know What She Wants To Say Estella had always kept to a fixed daily routine. While at Roxanne’s house, she had started getting drowsy at around nine o'clock in the evening and only became a little more awake while on the way home.

Now, she had been sitting on the couch for a long time. Although she dearly wanted to wait for Lucian to return, she could not fight off the sleepiness that washed over her, and her eyes slowly closed.

Catalina knew Estella’s routine like the back of her hand. Upon seeing Estella’s head droop lower and lower, she quickly hurried over to the girl's side, preparing to catch her at any time.

Just as Catalina anticipated, Estella fell fast asleep within a few minutes, and her body tilted to one side.

Fortunately, Catalina was well-prepared. She caught Estella in her arms, then carefully carried the latter upstairs.

When she finally left Estella’s room and checked the time, she saw it was already late at night.

Ms. Estella was so stubborn just now. It seems as though she really does have something important to discuss with Mr. Farwell.

Catalina took out her phone and was about to call Lucian when she suddenly heard a noise from downstairs.

Craning her neck to take a look, she saw Lucian walk into the house with long strides. He was radiating a cold aura. By the looks of it, he must've been swamped with work tonight to the point that he still has a frown even after getting home.

“Mr. Farwell,” she called out hesitantly, hurrying down the stairs to greet him. As she took his coat, she said, “Ms. Estella waited for you all night and only just fell asleep.” Lucian’s frown deepened when he heard that.

Cayden rushed back to the office immediately after sending Estella home, and according to him, Estella has already forgiven Roxanne. She was also reluctant to leave Roxanne’s house. However, there’s no way | can forgive Roxanne. As for what Estella wants to tell me, | can more or less guess what it is she wants to say. | don’t want to hear her take Roxanne’s side, at least for now. After all, Roxanne’s increasingly close relationship with Jack is bad enough to stir up some misunderstanding. Regardless of whether it's for the children’s sake or my own reasons, | want to teach Roxanne a little lesson.

With that thought in mind, Lucian merely nodded at Catalina expressionlessly and walked upstairs.

Seeing that he did not seem to have caught on to the meaning behind her words, she quickly added, “Ms. Estella seemed to have something important to tell you. Do you want to go and check on her?” “No. | know what she wants to say,” Lucian replied, rejecting her suggestion indifferently.

With that, he went into his bedroom.

As Catalina watched him leave, she knew she was in no place to say anything more. All she could do was cast a pitying look at Estella’s room.

It's the first time I've seen Ms. Estella like that. | wonder what she wanted to tell Mr. Farwell...

Lucian went to take a shower after going into his room. Then, coming out of the bathroom, he browsed through the day’s news, which was a bedtime habit of his.

He had only just started browsing when he came across the online discussions about Herbscape Group, the contents of which caused him to furrow his brows.

As far as | know, only those within the pharmaceutical industry would discover Herbscape Group's involvement in selling illegal drugs and the bacterial leakage at the company’s biological laboratory.

His first instinct was to suspect that the former employees of Herbscape Group were behind it.

After mulling it over for a little while, he suddenly recalled his conversation with Jonathan that day. Compared to the former employees, this seems more like something Jonathan would do.
