“When I find them, I’ll bring them over to see you so that they can get a clear idea of what you’ve been
up t o alongside Charlotte.”
The tone in Joshua’s voice grew frostier as he continued, “You deliberately sabotaged Jim and Bonnie’s
relationship and his sibling bond with Luna, and even plotted to take the Landry family fortune as your
own.
“If your parents see the despicable things you did, they’ll probably be glad that they decided to abandon
you at that orphanage.”
The atmosphere inside the car was suffocating.
Roanne clenched her fists as she lifted her head to glare at Joshua. “I never did any of these! Don’t
spout nonsense like this!”
All of these were Charlotte’s doing, so what did they have to do with her?
She was obeying Charlotte’s orders and doing things as she wanted!
“This isn’t nonsense; everyone in Merchant City knows what you did.” Joshua reached out to unlock the
car door with a sneer. “Didn’t you want to get off? Well, you can go now, and anything I do after this,
anything I say to anyone-will have nothing to do with you from now on.”
Roanne’s entire body stiffened when she heard this.
She never thought that Joshua would behave like this after she rejected the offer to cooperate with him.
It was as though she mattered almost nothing to him, but…
She was Charlotte’s personal assistant, the person closest to her, so how could he possibly give up his
plans to bribe her so easily?
Just as Roanne was staring at Joshua’s face blankly, trying to figure out what to do, he suddenly turned
around to glance at her with a sneer. “Please don’t be under the impression that you’re important to me.
“I was trying to do you a favor and help you find your parents, but you couldn’t understand my kindness.
“Maybe I was wrong, and in fact, you love being Charlotte’s slave and love being slapped by her in broad
daylight.
“Theo, send her off.”
The color drained from Roanne’s face when she heard this.
Theo quickly got out of the driver’s seat, strode over to Roanne’s side, and opened the car door. “Please
leave.”
With that, he even shot Joshua a helpless glance and added, “You shouldn’t get on his bad side. When
he’s angry, there’s no telling what he won’t do.”
Luna, who was sitting next to her, sighed and gently patted Roanne’s shoulder. Then, she gave her
another two packs of ice and said, “It’s okay if you don’t want to work with us, but please have this so
you can bring down the swelling a little more.”
Roanne bit her lip and took the ice packs from Luna. Then, she let out a sigh and followed Theo out of
the car.
After getting off, she glanced at Joshua in the front passenger seat as though she wanted to say
something.

Finally, she let out an exhale, summoned the courage to walk over to Theo’s side, and said in a low
voice,” Can… Can I have a name card?”
Unlike a liar like Luna and a bad-tempered man like Joshua, she found this gentleman quite adoring.
Theo froze for a moment, then quickly took out a name card from his pocket.
“You’re an artist?” Roanne lifted her head to stare at him in delight as she took the card from him. “This is
my first time ever getting to know an artist.”
The look in Roanne’s eyes was full of awe and admiration, so much so that it made Theo feel a little
embarrassed. “Yes. If you’re free, you can pop over to my place to look at some of my artwork.”
Roanne was overjoyed to hear this. “Sure! I’ll be there as soon as I get the chance!”
All of a sudden, Roanne’s phone rang.
It was a call from Charlotte.
“You haven’t gone too far, have you? I suddenly recall that there’s something I need you to help me with.
Come wait for me in the backyard of Landry Mansion, and I’ll come to find you as soon as I’m finished
here.”
With that, she hung up the phone without even giving Roanne the chance to say anything. Standing on
the second-floor balcony of Landry Mansion, Charlotte was watching everything unfold outside the back
door with a cold sneer.
She could not believe that this bitch would betray her and get into Joshua Lynch’s car just a few seconds
after she punished her! She would get what she deserved!
