CHAPTER 2069

Charlotte let out an exhale and said, “You’re right; I was the one who killed Heather.

II She was the reason I almost died in that fire six years ago, and so I took my revenge on

her!”

Then, she shot Luna a pleading look and added, “But me killing Heather did help you in this, didn’t it? If

Heather didn’t die, she’ll only make your life even more difficult in the future!

“In a way, I helped you, Luna! I don’t ask for a lot in return; I just hope that…

“I just hope you can talk to Mr. Lynch about not sending me to prison. If you guys let me go, this will be

your payback for my kindness!” Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

“Your kindness?” Luna could not help snickering when she heard this.

She curled her lips into a smirk and slowly walked over to Charlotte’s side, her gaze fixated on

Charlotte’s eyes. “So you do know the concept of giving back to people who helped you, huh?

“Well, you probably remember how kind Number-9 treated you back at the orphanage. She shared all

of her food with you and even gave you her extra clothes to wear. You were such a small, scrawny kid

when you were young, and if it weren’t for Number -9, you would’ve been bullied by the rest of the

children!

“But tell me, how did you repay Number-9 back for her kindness?”

Staring at Charlotte’s face, Luna could not help recalling how sad Bonnie had looked when she

described her experience in the orphanage to Luna. A twinge of pain shot through her heart as soon as

Luna thought about this.

Growing up, Bonnie had displayed nothing but kindness toward other people but never had she

received anything in return. Charlotte, Jason, Jim.

She treated all of them with her whole heart, but none of them returned the kindness.

None of them had given her the life she deserved, not even one.

As her best friend, Luna could not help feeling pained by this.

She could not imagine the sorrow and disappointment Bonnie had gone through.

As she thought of this, Luna had reached Charlotte’s side, and without warning, she lifted her head and

smacked Charlotte hard across her face.

“Payback for your kindness? How dare you even say something like this?”

Luna had slapped Charlotte so hard that for a split second, she could see stars. Within minutes,

Charlotte’s cheek started to swell, and her mind was buzzing.

She lifted her head to stare at Luna with narrowed eyes.

She knew that her last resort had failed.

She had failed miserably.

“Even after committing so many crimes, you’re still trying to find a glimmer of hope, one last saving

grace to make your life a little better, aren’t you?

“Well, I can give you a chance.”

Charlotte lifted her head in surprise. “What is it?” Joshua curled his lips into a smile. “Do you know a

man by the name of Sirius?”
