Roanne was utterly stunned by Charlotte's sudden aggressive behavior.She bit her lip and lifted her head to stare at Charlotte, blood still seeping out of the corner of her mouth. "Charlotte, I have no idea what you're so pissed about."Roanne was just telling the truth; she did not understand why Charlotte was so irate.Whether it was at the orphanage or after they had escaped from that horrible place, Charlotte had always been the one who loved mutton.When they were still at the orphanage, a girl named Number-9 used to offer her uneaten mutton to Charlotte in exchange for vegetables and bread.Even though Roanne was a timid girl who was constantly bullied by the rest of the children, she still knew what was going on and had a vivid memory of this kind girl.This was because…every time Number-9 got her hands on the vegetables and bread, she would give half of her food to Roanne in secret.Because of Number-9's kindness, Roanne had managed to survive and did not starve to deat

Roanne's entire body stiffened when she heard this.She lifted her head to stare at Joshua through the rearview mirror. "Are you saying…you can help me find my birth parents?"Joshua curled his lips into a small smile. "Of course I can."He shifted into a comfortable position and gave Roanne an elegant smile. "The only people in Merchant City who are willing to help you…aren't capable of doing so, whereas the people who can…will never be willing to help you."Therefore, your only chance is to work with me."Roanne bit her lip when she heard this.Joshua was right.It was not that she had never tried searching for her birth parents before, but the people willing to help her did not have the power and influence to do so.To find the couple who had abandoned her more than 20 years ago was like trying to find a needle in a haystack.However, the people who could truly help her…would not be willing to do so at all.Even though she was the sister of Charlotte Jacobs, Jim Landry's g

After hanging up the phone, Roanne exhaled and lifted her head to glance at Theo. "I think you're a good person. You…"She turned around and glanced at the black Masevati parked in the distance as though she wanted to say something, but in the end, nothing came out.Finally, Roanne curled her lips into a smile and glanced at Theo once more. "I'll get in touch with you if I can."My sister is looking for me, so I'd better go now."With that, she strode back toward Landry Mansion, all while Theo remained motionless and watched her leave.When Roanne finally disappeared from view, he furrowed his brows and returned to the car."No wonder you kept reminding me to bring my name card before we left."Theo never had the habit of bringing his name cards with him wherever he went. He thought that even though some of his artwork had become famous, he was still an ordinary artist, and no one would want to get to know him.Because of this, Theo rarely brought his name cards out with him, b

Theo drove the car to Joshua's house.It was probably because he did not want to be a third-wheeler, but the first thing he said when the car pulled to a halt was that he was exhausted, and he scampered into his room as soon as he got out of the car, slamming the door shut behind him.Luna had just gotten out of the car herself when she heard Theo's door close behind him. She was astounded by his speed and was just about to say something when her phone chimed.She had received two photos sent by the butler at Landry Mansion.Both of the photos were taken from an awkward angle, and the lighting was so dark that Luna had to stare at them for a long while before she finally recognized the people inside the photos.The first one was a picture of Roanne, pressed against the ground by two burly men, her body, hands, and face covered entirely in mud. Her right hand was pinned onto the ground by Charlotte's pointy heel.Roanne appeared pitiful and helpless, whereas the look on Charlotte'

After hanging up the phone, Joshua immediately picked up his laptop.Sure enough, there was an email from Luke sitting in his inbox.Joshua clicked it open with a frown.The contents of the email shocked Joshua so much that he was stunned.There were dozens of photos that Luke had taken with his phone, all of them pictures of Todd's personal account book.It was surprising to Joshua that a cruel, merciless man like Todd would secretly have a religious heart.He had been recording all the crimes he had committed in this book and had written the reason why he had recorded them on the final page.He had hoped that after cleansing himself of his sins, he would be able to show this book to God so that the innocent people he had killed would be able to rest in peace.Joshua sneered, finding this amusing.The person who had killed Todd probably did not think he would record all his crimes into a book for a silly reason like this.Otherwise, this book would not have ended up in Luke'
