Chapter 1037: What Do You Need?

Archie frowned. "Do you know where Mr. Farwell took Essie?"

Catalina hesitated. "He likely brought her back to the Farwell main residence." She recalled Sonya calling Lucian, presumably requesting he send Estella. Lucian had agreed.

Archie and Benny's gazes dimmed. Archie asked tentatively, "Could you tell us where the Farwell main residence is?"

Catalina realized they planned to go there, a considerable distance away. While she didn't know how they'd reached the manor from their home, she couldn't let them go alone. "I know the location, but I can't tell you."

She motioned for the bodyguards to release the boys. "You must have slipped away without Ms. Jarvis knowing. Go home now. Don't worry her."

The boys pouted, stubbornly remaining for a time. Only when Catalina remained firm did they reluctantly leave. They'd looked forward to seeing Estella and Lucian since the previous night; their efforts had been in vain.

Benny’s eyes reddened as he trudged along. Archie walked beside him, a stern expression on his face, worried about Estella. Lost in thought, neither noticed a lavish car approaching.

"It's those boys!"

Aubree's face fell as she spotted them walking along the road. Sonya had asked her to retrieve clothes for Estella from the manor. She hadn't expected to encounter the boys so early. Aubree was incensed. Those boys are still clinging to Estella even though she's transferring schools soon! This is outrageous! If she were driving, she would have turned back. Her anger grew as they disappeared from view. I should teach them a lesson and make them leave Estella alone!

A thought struck her. "Turn around and go back to the small plaza," she ordered the driver.

The driver obeyed, returning to the plaza. Aubree smiled, satisfied to see the boys were still there. "Wait here. I'll be back in a moment."

She donned sunglasses and a face mask, taking her cane before crossing the road, completely disguised. A few hooligans were playing cards. Suddenly, a shadowy figure loomed, followed by Aubree's cocky voice, "Do something for me."

The boys, livid, stood up. "Who are you to order us around?"

Aubree produced a stack of cash. "I'll pay you more once you're finished." She pressed the money into the nearest boy's hand. Their expressions changed at the sight of the money. "Tell us what you want done."

Aubree sneered, whispering instructions in their ears.
