CHAPTER 1846

In the garden of Landry Mansion’s backyard, Roanne iced her face as she waited for Charlotte in

silence.

The words Joshua had said to her in the car kept repeating in her mind. “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 to alongside Charlotte.”

“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.”

These words rang in her head over and over, like a curse.

Roanne bit her lip, her heart beginning to turn as cold as her swollen cheek.

Even though she had not seen her birth parents in more than 20 years, there was not a second that

she did not long to meet them.

Even if they had abandoned her on purpose, Roanne still wanted to find them and ask them why they

did not keep to their promise, and why they decided to leave her.

She did not want them to be misled by Joshua into thinking she was a bad child and that their decision

of leaving her at the orphanage was the right one….

Just as Roanne was thinking about this, the sound of heels rang out from behind her, followed by the

sound of two pairs of leather shoes.

Roanne furrowed her brows and immediately turned around.

Behind her, an angry Charlotte stomped toward her in her high heels, followed by two tall, burly

bodyguards dressed in black.

A bad feeling arose in her heart

If Charlotte had just wanted to talk to her about something she had forgotten, as she had claimed on

the phone…why did she bring two guards along?

Just as Roanne was spacing out, Charlotte sneered and pointed in Roanne’s direction with a glittery,

bejeweled nail. “Seize her!” Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

The color drained from Roanne’s face. She bit her lip, but before she could say a word, the two guards

pressed her down against the ground.

Her face was pressed against the dirt, and both her hands were restrained too.

Charlotte sashayed over and stepped on one of Roanne’s hands with her pointy heels. “Nice seeing

you here again, Roanne.

“I can’t believe that even after feeding and clothing you for so many years, you dare to betray me just

because I slapped you a few times?”

As soon as she said this, Roanne suddenly understood why Charlotte had summoned her back here.

She bit her lip and tried to explain. “I didn’t betray you, Charlotte!

“When that man offered me a tissue, I had no idea he was with Joshua Lynch at all.

“He told me he had ice in his car to help me bring down the swelling, so I followed him into the car!

Only then did I realize that Joshua and Luna were there too. I didn’t mean to get into their car at all…”

If she had known beforehand that Joshua and Luna were there, she would not have gotten in at all!

However, Charlotte was amused by Roanne’s explanation. “Is that so?”

She stepped on Roanne’s hand even harder with her heels and said, “The only person in Merchant City

who likes black Masevatis is Joshua Lynch.

“Besides, you surely can recognize his car plate number from the number of times I asked you to tail

him, can’t you?”

Roanne protested, trying to suppress the pain she felt, “It was too dark that I didn’t notice at all…”

However, Charlotte was not listening at all. “You treacherous bitch!”

She glared at Roanne, let go of her, then ordered the guards, “Lock her up in that abandoned

warehouse. “Make her reflect on her mistakes, and let her out only after she learns who her boss is.”
