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
Joshua furrowed his brows when he heard this."Wait," he spat coldly, then strode toward Charlotte.He stared at her from his great height, an air of danger hanging around him like a thick fog. "What did you just say? Repeat that."Charlotte froze before lifting her head to meet Joshua's cold, penetrating stare. The look in his eyes was so dark that it was as though he would choke her at any minute.Charlotte instinctively shrunk back from him.She had blurted this out of desperation, but when faced with Joshua's furious stare, she suddenly realized she should not have said this.She should not have said this so bluntly!After all, Joshua was the person who could dictate her fate from here on out, and if she were to offend him, there was no telling what he could do to her.Regretting this was too late, unfortunately.Charlotte swiveled her gaze and quickly added, "Joshua, I know where your daughter is. You and Luna's daughter is still alive!"She shot Joshua a pleading look a
Charlotte let out an exhale and said, "You're right; I was the one who killed Heather."She was the reason I almost died in that fire six years ago, and so I took my revenge on her!"Then, she shot Luna a pleading look and added, "But me killing Heather did help you in this, didn't it? If Heather didn't die, she'll only make your life even more difficult in the future!"In a way, I helped you, Luna! I don't ask for a lot in return; I just hope that…"I just hope you can talk to Mr. Lynch about not sending me to prison. If you guys let me go, this will be your payback for my kindness!""Your kindness?" Luna could not help snickering when she heard this.She curled her lips into a smirk and slowly walked over to Charlotte's side, her gaze fixated on Charlotte's eyes. "So you do know the concept of giving back to people who helped you, huh?"Well, you probably remember how kind Number-9 treated you back at the orphanage. She shared all of her food with you and even gave you her ext
"Sirius?"Charlotte's entire body stiffened when she heard this name.A split second later, she regained her composure and sneered at Joshua. "Who the hell is he?"Charlotte's gaze was filled with confusion as though she truly had no idea who this person was.Luna furrowed her brows and turned to stare at Joshua in surprise. "Do you think she knows Sirius?"Luna knew who this man was; he was one of Rosalyn and Larry's classmates.According to Samuel, the man named 'Star' who had appeared in the video of Lucy's death was Sirius.However, not only was he involved in Lucy's death, but he had also employed Todd to kill Colin Landry soon after.However…Luna did not understand why Joshua would ask Charlotte about this man.These two people…probably did not know each other, did they?"Of course she knows him." Joshua curled his lips into a smirk, ambled over to Charlotte, then lowered his head to stare at her. "After helping Sirius commit these murders, Todd followed him to Mercha
Todd had been living a good life in Merchant City, but his biggest secret was that he had helped Sirius kill Colin Landry in the past.Todd was terrified of someone else finding out about this. After all, the Landry family had become more powerful and influential over the years, and if his past crimes were exposed, he would never be able to survive in Merchant City anymore.Therefore, Joshua was confident that Charlotte and Sirius must have known each other. Otherwise, Todd would not have risked being exposed to help Charlotte kill Heather.At least, Charlotte must have some information about what Todd had done for Sirius in the past, and she must have used this to threaten him. This was why Todd had been forced to help her kill Heather at such an absurdly low price.Charlotte's denial had indirectly confirmed Joshua's guesses.According to Charlotte's personality, if she truly did not know who Sirius was, she would still have dragged this man down with her by claiming that he had
This sudden news made Joshua frown.Luna immediately bit her lip when she heard this. "Has Charlotte been involved with the Quinn family all this while?""Yes." Joshua narrowed his eyes, grabbed Luna's hand, and said in a cold, emotionless tone, "She has been in touch with Quentin all this while."If it were not for Quentin's help, Charlotte would not have been able to cause a traffic jam in the middle of the city to prevent Bonnie from reaching the DNA Diagnostic Center."Quentin?" Luna fell silent for a moment and suddenly recalled the surveillance footage she had seen at Dr. Liddell's research facility in Lincoln City.She would never be able to forget the face of the man named Quentin.She would never be able to forget the fact that…this man had visited Rosalyn in the lab under the pretense of being her brother.As soon as he left, Rosalyn's condition had deteriorated greatly, so much so that she almost lost the will to survive.If Jim had not successfully delivered Charles
"But…"Joshua's gaze turned dark as he stared at a distance. "If someone were to abduct her, this means that she has an accomplice."Then, he turned to glance at Luna. "Do you remember what I asked Charlotte just now at the orphanage?"Luna furrowed her brows and contemplated this for a moment. "You asked her if she knows someone named Sirius."Joshua smiled when he heard this.He reached out to gently stroke Luna's hair and replied tenderly, "You have a good memory."The reason I asked her if she knew him was not that I didn't have that information, but instead, I had already guessed it myself and was just giving her a chance to come clean with the truth."The fact that she refused to tell the truth means that she treasured this person so much that she was willing to go to jail than expose Sirius's true identity."And now that she has been kidnapped…"Joshua curled his lips into a faint, cold smile. "Even though Charlotte being abducted won't tell us who Sirius is nor will it
When Joshua and Luna returned, Bonnie was trying to get Shelly to sleep.When she saw them return, she immediately approached them and asked, "What happened?"Luna let out a sigh and explained everything that had happened to Bonnie.Bonnie could not help lamenting as she leaned against the sofa, still carrying Shelly in her arms, "I hope Roanne will be alright…"Even though Roanne had been helping Charlotte do plenty of bad things all these years, she still did not deserve to die.Luna pursed her lips when she heard this but did not reply.All of a sudden, Joshua's phone rang.A glimmer of delight flashed through his eyes when he saw the number on the screen.Luna could feel the excitement wafting off his entire being, so she, too, glanced at the screen.It was a number without a caller ID.Luna did not recognize the number, so could not tell who it was.Joshua smiled at her and said, "Excuse me. I need to get this."With that, he strode out into the back garden.Bonnie gl
