Bonnie shot Jim a puzzled look, then finally sighed and held June closer to her as she walked up the stairwell, followed by Jim.Even though they did not manage to find Charlotte, they had at least found June.Bonnie gently stroked June's bald head and chuckled. "I bought you lots of hats, some of them with wigs attached. Haven't you always wanted to change your hairstyle frequently? Well, when we get home, you can finally fulfill your wishes of changing your hairstyle every day!"The sound of Bonnie's gentle voice made June's trembling body stiffen.A split second later, she lifted her head to stare at Bonnie with wide, shiny eyes. "How many?"Bonnie felt her heart soften at this sight.This was a six-year-old girl, after all.Even after she was treated terribly and wounded all over, she still could not suppress her curiosity and asked how many hairstyles she could get.How could one possibly not love such an adorable little girl?"More than you can count," Bonnie said reassu
In the past, Bonnie never had kids of her own and she did not know about Harvey, so she could not understand the pain and struggles of being a parent.Now that she had Harvey, however, as well as the little fetus growing inside her, she finally understood what it was like to be a parent.A monster like Quentin did not deserve to be someone's father!"What the hell are you talking about?" Quentin could not help frowning when he heard this. He swept his cold gaze over the two women who were restrained by Jim's men.One of them had their head lowered, whereas the other met his gaze head-on, with a hint of resentment in her otherwise fearless gaze.He narrowed his eyes. "That's utter bullshit! How can I possibly have a daughter? I haven't even taken a wife, so where would my daughter even come from?"Granny Quinn, who was still lying in the bed next to them, could not help sneering when she heard this. "That's right; how can Quentin possibly have a daughter? That's nonsense!"Quenti
"Why do you say this, Mr. Simms?" Jim narrowed his eyes. "Would I have declared it so confidently if I didn't have the answer myself?"When they were in the dungeon, he had secretly marked the two women to tell them apart.Jim had secretly ordered his men to 'accidentally' tear the shirt of the one who claimed to be Quentin's daughter while dragging her up the stairwell.At the thought of this, Jim got up and strode over to the servant with the torn shirt, a cold sneer playing on his lips. "Whether it was me, Joshua, or Luke, none of us had managed to understand why Charlotte was so close with the Quinn family, so much so that they were willing to steal her from us at the expense of breaking the law."As he said this, he glanced coldly at Quentin, whose face was pale. "What this servant just said reminded me that…"He chuckled and continued, "Charlotte was an orphan, and if she were your daughter, Mr. Simms, everything would make sense."The color drained from Quentin's face.A
If even Jim, the man who had laid by Charlotte's side for many months, could not bring out any evidence to tell them apart, then no one could.As soon as he thought of this, Quentin could not help bursting into laughter. "Well, well, not sure how to go about lying anymore, huh, Mr. Landry?"He plopped down in a nearby chaise lounge, shifted into a more comfortable position, then swept his cold glance over Jim. "Mr. Landry, you and Ms. Craig disrupted my godmother's rest, went into the dungeon, and finally found two servants who we can't even tell apart."Now, you're even claiming that one of these servants is not only Charlotte but my daughter as well… You have such a vivid imagination. It'll be such a pity if you don't become an author!"Jim narrowed his eyes when he heard this.Suddenly, he realized that he had no comeback for Quentin.He turned around to stare at the two women, who not only were identical in height and build, but both had faces mutilated beyond recognition.E
Lo and behold, there was an ugly red birthmark on the servant's left shoulder.After a brief moment of shock, Bonnie came to a sudden realization.It turned out she was right; Charlotte had faked the birthmark to pass herself off as Number-9.However…she had misremembered the position of the birthmark!Bonnie's birthmark was on her right shoulder, but Charlotte had mistaken it as being on the left shoulder and thus faked a birthmark there!Charlotte narrowed her eyes as soon as she realized she had been exposed, then quickly took a step back and feigned anger, pulling her sleeve back up to cover her skin. "What the hell do you think you're doing? How dare you violate me like this?""Why are you still pretending, Charlotte?" Luna said, frowning. "Your identity has already been exposed, and there's no use pretending anymore.""I disagree." Charlotte sneered and lifted her head to shoot Luna a cold look. "I still have a fighting chance."Then, she took a knife out of her pocket an
Bonnie could not help thinking that the knife Charlotte had used had not been clean, so she would not stop worrying until a doctor checked Jim's wound.Jim furrowed his brows but did not reply and instead allowed Bonnie and Gwen to take him out of the room.After the three of them left, Luke glanced coldly at a pale-faced Quentin and said, "Mr. Simms, they've already given you the evidence you wanted."Even Charlotte herself admitted her true identity, and she even attempted to harm someone once again."With all this in mind, you must agree that Bonnie has won the bet, hasn't she?"Quentin narrowed his eyes upon hearing this.A glimmer of hatred flashed through his eyes as he glanced at Charlotte, who was being restrained by the guards.He should not have taken pity on her!He had known since the start that this daughter of his was utterly useless, yet he still took pity on her and tried to help her!Not only had he failed to protect her, but their relationship was exposed, to
Based on how Luna looked at Riley, Quentin knew that he made the right choice in keeping Riley. At first, he had meant to use the baby as leverage for other means, but all thanks to Charlotte, his plan had gone down the drain.He glared at Charlotte, musing to himself how she was a prodigal daughter.He would have continued keeping Riley secretly as leverage against Joshua, using the infant especially when a more dire situation arose, had it not been for her antics. Charlotte could have the chance to escape, but she had to be a busybody and forced him to use his last card at hand!Joshua frowned and looked at the baby in Quentin's arms. Subconsciously, he stood in front of Luna and said indifferently, "Mr. Simms, are you going to use the girl to exchange for Charlotte?"Quentin smiled. "I think it's fair that I exchange your child with mine, isn't it?"This comment, however, took Granny Quinn by complete surprise as her expression contorted as miserable as sin. "Quentin, are you s
Quentin clenched his fists tightly. He never thought that he would be forced to prove his relationship with Charlotte by someone younger than him.Someone like Joshua.He glared daggers at Joshua, knowing at that moment that Riley was no longer the trump card he could rely on.Despite having Riley with him for so long, Joshua never expended much effort to search for Riley. Even when Joshua knew that Riley was with him, Joshua never rushed to him and demanded the child be returned.Joshua must have known that he would use Riley as a bargaining chip, but Joshua did not panic at all.In a situation like this, using Riley as leverage was a dangerous move, but he could only take the risk because of Charlotte.At this moment…The silence prolonged for several seconds before finally, Charlotte broke the silence before Quentin could say anything."I have the evidence!" Charlotte struggled and yelled hysterically, "There's a DNA paternity report of me and Mr. Simms; it's in my left pock
