Bonnie’s entire body stiffened when she heard this.
Staring at the disdainful look on his face, she swallowed her words and curled her lips into a self
deprecating smirk. “How can that be? Even if I was the Number-9 you’ve been searching for, you’re not
the young boy I knew.
“You’re nothing compared to him.”
With that, she turned around, grabbed Harvey’s hand, and strode away, all the while suppressing
the pain in her heart.
Jim narrowed his eyes as he watched her leave.
Was she mocking him?
A gust of wind blew, and the door slammed shut behind them with a loud thud that made Roanne jump.
Jim finally turned his attention back toward Roanne and shot her a cold glance. Then, he said in a tone
so cold there was not a hint of emotion within it, “Roanne, Charlotte has treated you as her sister all
these years, so how could you deliberately tarnish her name behind her back and attempt to drive a
wedge between us? What are your intentions in doing this?”
Roanne felt her blood run cold.
She had thought of the possibility that Jim would not believe her, but she never thought that Jim would
do it so blatantly and without hesitation.
Roanne exhaled and lifted her head to stare at Jim, a cold sneer playing on her lips. “She treated me
like her sister?”
She lifted her sleeve to reveal her bruised and severely wounded arms. “Look at these. She sent men to
beat me up every time I disobeyed her.
“Master Landry, do you think someone who truly thinks of me as a sister would do something like
this?”
Jim narrowed his eyes as he gazed at her arms. “Do you have any evidence to prove that Charlotte was
the one who did this?”
“No, I don’t” Roanne let out a sigh, stood up, and placed a flash drive on the table before Jim. “Master
Landry, I know that Charlotte told you the reason she had left Merchant City was that she had been
chased out by Heather.
“However, even after losing your memories, you should know whether Heather truly is capable of doing
this or not. Was it truly Heather’s fault that Charlotte and I didn’t dare to return to Merchant
City after suffering our burns?
“The answers to those questions are included within this flash drive. You’ll understand
everything after you look through it.”
Jim glanced at the flash drive, picked it up, and started toying with it in his hand. He sneered and said,
“You made me breakfast so early in the morning, tried to expose Charlotte by saying that
she had stolen another person’s identity when she was young…and now, you’re accusing her of
physically abusing you.
“However, you have no proof to back up your claims at all, and the only thing you can give me is a flash
drive to look through myself?”
He tossed the flash drive into the trash can and said coldly, “I don’t have the time to find out what
other lies you’ve made up about Charlotte.”
He turned to glance coldly at Roanne. “Initially, I had wanted to tell you that as Charlotte’s sister, you’re
welcome to move into me and Charlotte’s new house to keep her company, but now…it seems
that everything is different now.
“I’ll give you ten minutes to pack your bags. From today onward, don’t you dare show yourself in front of
either Charlotte or me.”
Roanne widened her eyes in shock.
She stared dazedly at Jim and stammered, “Master Landry, I…”
She thought that Jim would at least be rational enough to look through the flash drive first before
coming to any conclusion!
The flash drive contained all of the evidence of the crimes Charlotte had committed over the years,
including how she had found Bonnie’s brother, Jason, and lured Bonnie into Jim’s room which led
to her pregnancy
