Just as Jim's mind was filled with doubts about this, Charlotte suddenly snapped, "Why the fuck are you bringing this up now?"I've brought you the money!" She threw the bag of cash down on the ground with a slam and said, sneering, "Never have I imagined that I'd one day be betrayed by a bitch like you!"Have you forgotten how kind I treated you back at the orphanage? If I hadn't said anything when Jim returned to take me, you would've still been stuck at that wretched place! I'm the reason you even have what you have right now!"It's one thing to be ungrateful, but another thing entirely to betray me, kidnap Jim's daughter, and hold her against me for ransom! You're an ungrateful bitch, Roanne!"Roanne could not help snickering when she heard this. "Charlotte, are you sure you did all that out of kindness and pity toward me?"She stood up and, taking slow steps toward Charlotte, coldly remarked, "I know that you did all of those for your selfish reasons! Not only did you lie to
"When you found Jason and devised a plan with him to get Bonnie pregnant with Jim's son because you couldn't conceive, do you think you could've done it if it weren't for me?"Charlotte narrowed her eyes when she heard Roanne's words. "Are you trying to take credit for what happened six years ago?"Every word of the two women's conversation echoed through the hidden microphone and into Jim's ear.Jim gripped his pen tightly as he sat in his chair.Even though he had already found out about Charlotte's true colors from the recording Joshua had given him last night and the surveillance footage…Everything that Charlotte and Roanne said still shocked him so much that he could not even react.All along, Charlotte was not Number-9 at all.She had been lying to him all along.She even admitted herself that she wanted to kill Shelly, but most importantly…Roanne had said that Charlotte was the one who had drugged Jim six years ago in Banyan City and let Jason bring Bonnie over to his
Roanne never thought that Charlotte would bring a weapon with her.As blood spurted out of her body and the pain shot through her stomach, Roanne lifted her head to stare at Charlotte, disbelief glossing her eyes.Even though she knew better than anyone how cruel and heartless Charlotte could be, she never thought that Charlotte would resort to murder.However, a smile played on her lips as she watched the bright red blood seep out of her abdomen and trickle down the dagger's hilt.She stared at Charlotte, who glared at her in fury, with a somewhat dazed look but still said with a smile, "Do you think I recorded all of that, Charlotte?"Do you think I was trying to have you admit your past crimes and keep them as a recording so that I can use them against you in the future?"As she said this, Roanne spat out a mouthful of blood and grinned. "Well, that isn't the case at all."She grabbed hold of the stroller next to her and wheeled it toward Charlotte. "Take a look."Charlotte
Worse still, there were plenty more others.It turned out that everything between him and Charlotte had been fake.Nothing had been real.Jim closed his eyes and let out a sigh. "Charlotte, if you send Roanne to the hospital right now, things will still be salvageable. Please don't continue down the wrong road."Jim knew that Charlotte had committed too many crimes to count, but for some reason, maybe it was because of the drug, or perhaps because she had indeed waited for him for many years…Jim suddenly thought that if Charlotte were to wake up to her mistakes at this moment, he could find it in himself to forgive her one last time.However, he was disappointed by what happened next.Charlotte's entire body stiffened when she heard Jim's voice ringing out of the wireless speaker, and she stared at the dark lens of the camera.She let out a bitter chuckle. "Things will still be salvageable, you say? 'Don't continue down the wrong road,' huh?"Jim, do you know how much I sacri
Theo's entire body stiffened when he heard this.He never thought Roanne would ask this of him.Theo knew from the start that he was the reason Roanne had come to a rude awakening and refused to continue being under Charlotte's control.He was Roanne's ideal type, so she had fallen in love with the idea of starting a new life with him away from Charlotte, which was why she had been secretly helping Luna and Bonnie.As for what happened that day…Roanne had known of Theo's intentions to plant the hidden camera and microphone, but not only did she not get upset at him, but she even feigned innocence and kept deliberately leading Charlotte to admit the crimes she had committed.Even though one would say that Roanne had suddenly developed a conscience, Theo knew, for a fact, that she had done this for him.However, despite knowing this, he had never reciprocated Roanne's love.At this moment, as he held a limp and almost lifeless Roanne in his arms, Theo could not help feeling that
"However, Heather betrayed you in the end, and your face became disfigured in this incident."After your accident, you underwent plastic surgery countless times to reconstruct your face…but even with all that, y—you never gave up trying to return to Jim's side."Charlotte, even after your looks were disfigured, you kept trying desperately to find a way to return to Jim's side. Don't you think you're even more shameless than I am…?"Charlotte widened her eyes in shock upon hearing this.How dare this bitch talk to her like this? She was too soft on this backstabber!She gritted her teeth and glared at Roanne. "I'll kill you, Roanne! You'd better kill yourself first, or I'm going to make your life a living hell!"Roanne sneered. "You can try."All of a sudden, she started coughing violently again, and every time she did so, she would spit out a mouthful of blood.Theo could not help feeling a twinge of pain shoot through his heart as he stared at a pale-faced Roanne. "You shouldn
Joshua furrowed his brows as soon as he heard Jim's voice.He turned around, picked up the camera, and pointed it at Charlotte. "Are you still going to protect this woman after all that?""Jim!" A surge of energy rushed through Charlotte's body as soon as she heard that familiar voice.She quickly picked herself up from the ground and stormed toward the camera like a madwoman.At this moment, her hair was loose around her head, and her face and body were covered in the blood that had spilled out of Roanne's body. Her face was still twisted in a grotesque, sinister leer that made her look like a demon that had crawled right out of hell.She snatched the camera out of Joshua's hand and pointed it toward her face. "Jim! I knew you still loved me! You can't bear to see me being sent away, can you? I knew it!"Tears spilled down her cheeks, mixing with the blood on her face and making her look even more terrifying than before.She hugged the camera close to her and said, "Jim, after
After all, Jim had lost his memories, so he was not the same person as before.Since Jim thought it would be better to keep Charlotte in prison, Joshua would do as he said.As soon as he thought of this, Joshua curled his lips into a smirk and replied, "Alright. I'll send Charlotte to the police station right now."Regardless, he could not help reminding, "I do hope that you can continue to keep your eyes wide open, Master Landry."If you see her in the future, please remember everything that she said and did in the past. Don't show her mercy simply because you still love her; this woman is a crooked, deceitful witch."The color drained from Charlotte's face as soon as she heard this.She slumped onto the ground in sheer disbelief, her entire body frozen in shock as though she had been struck by lightning.She thought Jim had wanted to save her when he stopped Joshua from taking her away, but…It turned out that he had done this so that he could send her to prison, where it wou
