Roxanne knew Lucian finally believed her, so she broke the silence, her voice calm and gentle. "This is not a confrontation. I'm just worried about Essie's well-being. If it's her autism that causes her to be this extreme, I hope you can help her by taking her to see a professional for support and guidance."

She had assumed that Lucian would consider her suggestion, but Lucian immediately responded curtly, "I don't think there's anything wrong with what Essie did."

Roxanne froze in shock. Estella damaged someone else's property at a young age, yet Lucian thinks she didn't do anything wrong? For a moment, Roxanne doubted herself and wondered if she was wrong. Estella did that not because of her autism or her innate personality. She did that because Lucian taught her to. Could that be the reason?

Roxanne tried to reason with Lucian. "Even if she's a child, she should understand that it's wrong to touch someone else's property. It's a car tire, on top of that. The consequences of a punctured tire can be severe. It can even lead to accidents and injuries!" She stared at him incredulously. "Do you still think Essie didn't do anything wrong?"

Lucian met her gaze calmly. "This is a simple concept that even a child can understand. Don't tell me Mr. Damaris cannot grasp this."
