CHAPTER 1842

The man was mild-mannered, gentlemanly, and emanated an aura of knowledge and culture.

Roanne was willing to believe that this man was her dream come true.

However, this wondrous sensation only lasted until she got into the car.

As soon as she got into the backseat, she discovered that two other people were sitting in the car.

The man sitting in the front passenger seat was Joshua, whereas the woman sitting in the backseat,

next t o her, was none other than Luna.

She was more than familiar with these two faces.

Roanne bit her lip and was about to open the car door, but the handsome man swiftly locked the car

before she could get out,

Theo, who had gotten into the driver’s seat, smiled as he glanced at her. “You haven’t even put ice on

your swelling yet, so why are you so desperate to get out?”

He glanced at Luna and said, “Get her some ice.”

Luna muttered in agreement and handed Roanne a packet of ice she had prepared beforehand. “Here

you

90.”

Roanne bit her lip and, after trying to open the door countless times to no avail, finally took the ice pack

from Luna. She glanced first at Luna, then at Joshua with a guarded look as she placed the ice pack on

her swollen face. “What are you trying to do?”

She would be stupid if she still could not tell that the handsome man was clearly one of their allies.

Luna and Joshua knew fully well that if they were to get out of the car and beckon her, she would never

get into the car with them.

Therefore, they had deliberately sent this man, whom she had never seen before, to trick her into their

car.

“Nothing much. We just wanted to ask you if Charlotte had finished using the drug she stole from the

Landry family warehouse.”

Roanne glanced at them, frowning. “Yes, she’s used up every last drop.”

Since Joshua and Luna had already found out about what had happened, she decided it was futile to

hide the truth from them anymore.

After all, it did not matter what they thought. As long as Jim continued to believe Charlotte’s lies, their

plan had succeeded.

The color drained from Luna’s face when she heard this.

Previously, when they were still at Tea Cottage, Christopher had already explained this to them: If

Charlotte and Roanne had not used up all the medication, then Jim would still be able to be saved.

At this stage, however…

Luna bit her lip and clenched her fists.

Joshua, who was sitting in the passenger seat, furrowed his brows and glanced impassively at

Roanne’s red, swollen face. “Does Charlotte treat you like this all the time? Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

“Why are you still working for her despite this cruel treatment?”

Roanne fell silent for a moment, then sneered. “Because she’s my sister. Is that enough of a reason for

you?”

With that, she turned and shot Luna a cold glance. “Aren’t you the same as me? Didn’t you continue to

reach out to Jim despite the way he treated you?

“If you didn’t care about him, you wouldn’t even be sitting here right now, would you?”

Luna narrowed her eyes when she heard this but did not reply.

Blood was thicker than water. Even though Jim had treated her so harshly…she still tried to think of

ways t o save him.

“But you and Charlotte aren’t real sisters at all,” Joshua said, curling his lips into a smirk. “The two of

you just grew up together at the orphanage.”

He flipped through the stack of documents in his hand and continued with a smirk spreading across his

face, “She just helped you escape from the orphanage, but you chose to repay her with your

unwavering loyalty and servitude for so many years. “What if I helped you find your birth parents? How

are you going to repay me then?”
