CHAPTER 2060

Chapter 2060 Just as Jim’s mind was filled with doubts about this, Charlotte suddenly snapped, “Why

the fuck are you bringing this up now?

“I’ve brought you the money!” She threw the bag of cash down on the ground with a slam and said,

sneering, “Never have I imagined that I’d one day be betrayed by a bitch like you!

“Have you forgotten how kind I treated you back at the orphanage? If I hadn’t said anything when Jim

returned to take me, you would’ve still been stuck at that wretched place! I’m the reason you even have

what you have right now!

“It’s one thing to be ungrateful, but another thing entirely to betray me, kidnap Jim’s daughter, and hold

her against me for ransom! You’re an ungrateful bitch, Roanne!”

Roanne could not help snickering when she heard this. “Charlotte, are you sure you did all that out of

kindness and pity toward me?”

“When Number -9 left the orphanage, you stole the keepsake that Jim left for her and approached the

owner of the orphanage to let you take her place as Number-9. I had been Number – 23 at that time,

and you made me fill your place as Number-12.

“All this while, I thought you were trying to help me by letting me take your place as Number – 12, since

the smaller the number, the less likely you were to get bullied by the rest of the children, but…”

Roanne sneered. “I found out too late that you hadn’t done this for me at all. This is from .

“You had simply done this so that Jim would think you and Number -9 were the same people. After all,

Number-9 had been kind to you in the past, and you were worried that when Jim returned for her, he

could tell that you weren’t her and expose you, is that right?”

Roanne’s words were like sharp knives stabbing into Charlotte’s heart.

She bit her lip and stared at the woman before her, her gaze full of hatred.

“Roanne!” She narrowed her eyes and spat through gritted teeth, “No matter what my intentions were, I

still saved your life and saved you from dying at the orphanage. Isn’t that the truth?”

“Yes, it is.” Roanne sneered. “But, ever since you and I left the orphanage, you’ve always treated me

like a lapdog that would do all of your biddings, Charlotte.

“You never treated me as a sister, and I had tolerated you again and again because I was indebted to

you.”

Charlotte curled her lips into a disdainful smirk when she saw the pained look on Roanne’s face. “Is

that so? Don’t flatter yourself, Roanne. You’re not a saint as you think you are. You still ended up

betraying me, didn’t you?

“‘You listened and hung onto every word of mine in the past because you hadn’t managed to discover

my weakness and find something to threaten me with!”

The more she said this, the more outraged Charlotte became. She tried to suppress the intense urge to

kill Roanne right then and there and continued , “Now that you know I wanted to get rid of that wretched

child, you kidnapped her before I could kill her and used her to threaten

me.

“You had wanted to betray me and do this in the past, but you never had the chance!”

Roanne could not help chuckling when she heard this. She lifted her head to stare at Charlotte in

contempt and said in a cold, emotionless voice, “Do you think I never had the chance?

“I don’t know whether to call you overconfident or downright stupid, Charlotte.

e

“Do you honestly think that with Jim’s influence, he wouldn’t have been able to find out that you were

the one who drugged him in Banyan City if it weren’t for my help?”
