Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2061

“When you found Jason and devised a plan with him to get Bonnie pregnant with Jim’s son because you couldn’t conceive, do you think you could’ve done it if it weren’t for me?!

Charlotte narrowed her eyes when she heard Roanne’s words. “Are you trying to take credit for what happened six years ago?”

Every word of the two women’s conversation echoed through the hidden microphone and into Jim’s ear.

Jim gripped his pen tightly as he sat in his chair.

Even though he had already found out about Charlotte’s true colors from the recording Joshua had given him last night and the surveillance footage…

Everything that Charlotte and Roanne said still shocked him so much that he could not even react.

All along, Charlotte was not Number-9 at all.

She had been lying to him all along.

She even admitted herself that she wanted to kill Shelly, but most importantly…

Roanne had said that Charlotte was the one who had drugged Jim six years ago in Banyan City and let Jason bring Bonnie over to his room…

Jim narrowed his eyes.

Did this mean that… Bonnie was Harvey’s mother all along?

This news was more shocking to him than discovering that Charlotte had been lying to him.

However, there was more to be heard.

“Not only am I taking credit for it, but I want to emphasize how easily I could’ve destroyed you.

“There’s no one in the world who knows as much as I do, especially the plan you devised for Heather and Aura to help them kill Luna.

“You were the one who introduced Jason to them and ave them the idea to use him to kill Luna…

“Not only that, but I was the middleman who helped coordinate all this, wasn’t i?”

Roanne’s voice became more malicious as she added, “Do you think you’d still have the chance to return to Merchant City and put Jim under your control now if I had gone to Jim six years ago and told him about your involvement in all this?”

Staring at Roanne’s face, Charlotte could not help feeling something was wrong.

All of the things she said were real but seemed strangely forced, as though she was deliberately trying to spill the truth about what they had done in the past for someone to hear.

Charlotte’s mind began to spin in thought.

All of a sudden, she froze. Then, she furrowed her brows and glared at Roanne. “Are you trying to sabotage me?”

Charlotte had been engulfed by her rage and hatred since she walked through the door.

After all, she had been locked in the cellar for an entire night by Jim, so she was so outraged that she could not help wanting to vent her anger out on Roanne as soon as she saw her.

At this moment, she suddenly realized something was not right.

If her guesses were correct, Roanne must have planted a recording device somewhere.

She had deliberately brought up the past so that Charlotte would be tempted to argue with her, indirectly admitting that she had done all these bad things in the past.

As soon as she thought of this, Charlotte narrowed her eyes and took a few steps toward Roanne. “I’ve brought you the money and the car you wanted, Roanne, but you shouldn’t treat me like this, right?

“After all, I’m your sister, and I’d be so upset if I found out this was what you did to pay me back”

As she said this, she drew out a dagger from her pocket and lunged toward Roanne.

“I hadn’t wanted to hurt you at all, Roanne, but since you were trying to trick me, you left me no other choice!”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2062

Roanne never thought that Charlotte would bring a weapon with her.

As blood spurted out of her body and the pain shot through her stomach, Roanne lifted her head to stare at Charlotte, disbelief glossing her eyes.

Even though she knew better than anyone how cruel and heartless Charlotte could be, she never thought that Charlotte would resort to murder.

However, a smile played on her lips as she watched the bright red blood seep out of her abdomen and trickle down the dagger’s hilt.

She stared at Charlotte , who glared at her in fury, with a somewhat dazed look but still said with a smile, “Do you think I recorded all of that, Charlotte?

“Do you think I was trying to have you admit your past crimes and keep them as a recording so that I can use them against you in the future?”

As she said this, Roanne spat out a mouthful of blood and grinned. “Well, that isn’t the case at all.”

She grabbed hold of the stroller next to her and wheeled it toward Charlotte. “Take a look.”

Charlotte furrowed her brows and glanced at the stroller.

There was a baby wrapped in a blanket lying inside the stroller.

Charlotte exhaled, pulled the dagger out of Roanne’s body, and lifted the knife above her head.

Since she had already murdered Roanne, killing another would make no difference!

After all, she had intended to kill Shelly all this while.

That baby should not have lived in the first place!

If Luna and Joshua’s son had not interfered with her plans, Shelly and Harvey would not even be living. There would have been two tombstones in the Landry family’s graveyard!

As soon as she thought of this, Charlotte let out an exhale and whipped the blanket away.

However, there was no baby underneath the blanket.

No Shelly Instead…there was a camera and a microphone wrapped in a bundle to resemble a baby.

At this moment, the camera had caught the image of Charlotte standing in front of the stroller; her knife raised to attack.

Charlotte’s entire body froze.

Roanne started cackling as she held a hand to her bleeding wound when she saw how stunned Charlotte looked. “Surprise, surprise, Charlotte.

“You were right about one thing. I had deliberately said all those things to get you to admit to your crimes, but I hadn’t intended to record them and use them against you in the future. I wanted to let Jim discover your true colors!”

The more she said this, the more delighted she became. Despite the blood draining from her face, the smile on her lips only grew wider as she explained , “Jim has heard everything you told me just now, and he’s watching you with your knife raised right now, through the camera!

“Even though he’s lost his memories and has been under your control, he’s not an idiot and knows how to tell right from wrong.

“Now that you’ve exposed your true colors before him, you can’t deceive him or do any more bad things to other people…” She grinned at Charlotte. “Are you happy now?”

Charlotte’s entire body was frozen in place as though she had been struck by lightning.

She stared dazedly at Roanne, then glanced at the camera before her. “How is this possible…”

Jim watched as the grotesque expression on her face changed to a shocked one, then finally to sorrow.

He furrowed his brows and felt as though an invisible hand was squeezing his heart.

He never thought that…his kind, beautiful Charlotte would turn out like this.

Everything had been a lie.

She was not the girl in the red shirt, and she was not Number-9.

Six years ago, she had drugged him and tricked Bonnie into becoming a surrogate mother that would later give birth to Harvey, all because she was incapable of conceiving a baby herself. Not only that, but she had given Heather and Aura the idea to kill Luna.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2063

Worse still, there were plenty more others.

It turned out that everything between him and Charlotte had been fake.

Nothing had been real.

Jim closed his eyes and let out a sigh. “Charlotte, if you send Roanne to the hospital right now, things will still be salvageable. Please don’t continue down the wrong road.”

Jim knew that Charlotte had committed too many crimes to count, but for some reason, maybe it was because of the drug, or perhaps because she had indeed waited for him for many years…

Jim suddenly thought that if Charlotte were to wake up to her mistakes at this moment, he could find it in himself to forgive her one last time.

However, he was disappointed by what happened next.

Charlotte’s entire body stiffened when she heard Jim’s voice ringing out of the wireless speaker, and she stared at the dark lens of the camera.

She let out a bitter chuckle. “Things will still be salvageable, you say? ‘Don’t continue down the wrong road,’ huh?

“Jim, do you know how much I sacrificed for you? Now that you’ve found out about what I did, things can never go back to what it used to be.

“I’ve lost everything…”

She let out another chuckle, then suddenly lowered her head to glare at Roanne, who was lying on the ground.

Then, she picked up the dagger and started stabbing Roanne over and over like a deranged woman.

“Stop!”

Finally, after God knew how many minutes, a man’s voice rang out from outside the door, along with the sound of the door being kicked open.

The next second, Theo and a group of men stormed into the room.

Theo froze when he was met with the sight before him.

Roanne was lying on the ground, her white shirt stained bright red, while blood pooled on the floor.

Charlotte was sitting astride her, stabbing her over and over with a knife.

Roanne was on the verge of passing out, but when she caught sight of Theo, she still reached out a hand weakly. “Theo…”

Her faint voice made Charlotte frown.

She glanced at Roanne’s face, then at Theo, and immediately understood everything.

This bitch had fallen prey to Joshua’s friend!

“How could you have betrayed me for a man?” Charlotte was outraged by this, and she immediately started slitting Roanne’s face. “Haven’t I treated you well, you fucking bitch?”

Theo could not bear to watch this happen, so he immediately lunged forward to pull Roanne into his arms.

Meanwhile, Joshua and Lucas stormed forward and pulled Charlotte away from them.

“It’s my fault, it’s all my fault!” Tears started to pour as Theo hugged Roanne close to him.

The hidden camera and microphone wrapped to resemble a baby was Theo’s idea.

Roanne had wanted Theo to prepare a lifelike doll to pass it off as Shelly, but Theo was the one who had come up with the new idea.

The night before, after Jim left the hospital , he secretly contacted Jim and set this plan into motion…

However, he never thought that his ingenious plan would end up killing Roanne…

“It’s not your fault. I had volunteered, after all.” Roanne reached out a bloodstained hand to stroke Theo’s face. “Can…you kiss me?”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2064

Theo’s entire body stiffened when he heard this.

He never thought Roanne would ask this of him.

Theo knew from the start that he was the reason Roanne had come to a rude awakening and refused to continue being under Charlotte’s control.

He was Roanne’s ideal type, so she had fallen in love with the idea of starting a new life with him away from Charlotte, which was why she had been secretly helping Luna and Bonnie.

As for what happened that day…

Roanne had known of Theo’s intentions to plant the hidden camera and microphone, but not only did she not get upset at him, but she even feigned innocence and kept deliberately leading Charlotte to admit the crimes she had committed.

Even though one would say that Roanne had suddenly developed a conscience, Theo knew, for a fact, that she had done this for him.

However, despite knowing this, he had never reciprocated Roanne’s love.

At this moment, as he held a limp and almost lifeless Roanne in his arms, Theo could not help feeling that he was the world’s biggest jerk.

Despite knowing that Roanne was in love with him, he had never rejected her advances before, even though he did not like her back and instead used her for the sake of helping his friends…

“‘Theo…” Roanne curled her lips into a bitter smile as she stared into his eyes. “Are you… unwilling to do that?”

She reached out a bloodstained hand to gently caress Theo’s cheek and said, “If you don’t want to… I understand.

“I know that you’ve never liked me back at all, and all of this was just me indulging myself…”

She closed her eyes.

Roanne did not regret what she had done today, and even if it were not for Theo, she would have chosen to betray Charlotte anyway because…

She curled her lips into a smile, and the image of Bonnie’s face appeared in her mind.

Roanne still remembered that every time she asked about Theo in front of Bonnie, Bonnie would smile and tell her that Theo was trying to get to know her better and was drawing a portrait of her.

Bonnie was the only person she had met who truly understood her love for Theo and supported her.

The kindness that Bonnie showed her was different from Charlotte’s.

Charlotte was an incredibly selfish and calculating person, and she would exaggerate every last drop of kindness she ever displayed toward Roanne, making it sound as though she had saved her life and forcing her to repay her debt.

However, Bonnie and Theo were different.

The kindness and warmth they had shown her did not ask for anything in return.

As soon as she thought of this, Roanne let out a bitter smile. “I guess I just found out too late…

If she had known earlier that a man as wonderful as Theo existed…

If she had known earlier what a kind and gentle person Bonnie was..

She would not have taken so long to expose Charlotte’s true colors.

In the distance, a grotesque sneer crept across Charlotte’s face as she was pressed down on the ground by Joshua’s men. “So this is the precious little boyfriend you betrayed me for!

“How shameless are you, Roanne? How dare you even offer yourself so willingly despite knowing he doesn’t like you back? You betrayed me, and now my life is ruined! If I go to hell, I’m bringing you down with me, you bitch!”

Even with her face pressed against the ground, Charlotte still cursed, “I had been right about you all along! You’re just a bitch, a dumb, shameless bitch! Even a dog has more dignity than you!”

Roanne’s eyelids flew open when she heard this.

She coughed out a mouthful of blood and replied, “Why don’t you look at yourself first in the mirror, Charlotte?

“You call me a bitch just because I fell in love with a man who doesn’t love me back, but what about you? You knew fully well that the girl Jim promised to marry wasn’t you and that you weren’t the person he had fallen in love with, yet you still lied to yourself, thinking that you and Jim belong together!

“Six years ago, you and Heather fell out, and you tried to set fire to kill Bonnie, worried that Heather would expose the truth of Bonnie being Harvey’s birth mother.”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2065

“However, Heather betrayed you in the end, and your face became disfigured in this incident. “After your accident, you underwent plastic surgery countless times to reconstruct your face… but even with all that, y-you never gave up trying to return to Jim’s side. “Charlotte, even after your looks were disfigured, you kept trying desperately to find a way to return to Jim’s side. Don’t you think you’re even more shameless than I am…?”

Charlotte widened her eyes in shock upon hearing this.

How dare this bitch talk to her like this? She was too soft on this backstabber!

She gritted her teeth and glared at Roanne. “I’ll kill you, Roanne! You’d better kill yourself first, or I’m going to make your life a living hell!”

Roanne sneered. “You can try.”

All of a sudden, she started coughing violently again, and every time she did so, she would spit out a mouthful of blood. Theo could not help feeling a twinge of pain shoot through his heart as he stared at a pale faced Roanne. “You shouldn’t talk anymore.”

He held Roanne close to him. “I’ll bring you to the hospital right now. You’re going to live!”

With that, he lifted Roanne into his arms and quickly strode out of the room.

Joshua glanced in the direction Theo had left in and shot Lucas a knowing look.

Lucas quickly followed after them.

After the three of them left, the only people that remained were Joshua, two bodyguards, and Charlotte, who was restrained by the two guards. Charlotte struggled to lift her head and glared at Joshua. “Let go of me! If you let go of me right now, I’ll tell Jim to show you mercy in the future!”

Charlotte was not sure whether Joshua had overheard her conversation with Roanne, so she had deliberately said this in an attempt to get Joshua to let go of her.

This was her only way.

If Joshua did not believe her, she would have no way of escaping.

After all…

After the conversation she had with Roanne, Charlotte knew Jim would never protect her again.

Roanne was right; even though Jim had lost his memories and been brainwashed by her into thinking she was the love of his life, he was not an idiot. He still retained his logical thinking and judgment, and after discovering the truth about her, Charlotte knew that he would never trust her again. “Is that so?” Joshua could not help sneering when he heard this.

He knelt and stared at Charlotte’s face. “Do you honestly think Jim will still protect you? If he still has a functioning brain, he won’t even give you so much as a second glance anymore.”

Then, he stood up and ordered, “Take her away!”

“Wait.” All of a sudden, Jim’s voice rang out of the speaker hidden in the stroller. “Joshua, don’t take her away just yet.”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2066

Joshua furrowed his brows as soon as he heard Jim’s voice.

He turned around, picked up the camera, and pointed it at Charlotte. “Are you still going to protect this woman after all that?”

“Jim!” A surge of energy rushed through Charlotte’s body as soon as she heard that familiar voice She quickly picked herself up from the ground and stormed toward the camera like a madwoman.

At this moment, her hair was loose around her head, and her face and body were covered in the blood that had spilled out of Roanne’s body. Her face was still twisted in a grotesque, sinister leer that made her look like a demon that had crawled right out of hell.

She snatched the camera out of Joshua’s hand and pointed it toward her face. “Jim! I knew you still loved me! You can’t bear to see me being sent away, can you? I knew it!”

Tears spilled down her cheeks, mixing with the blood on her face and making her look even more terrifying than before.

She hugged the camera close to her and said, “Jim, after being together for so long, you won’t leave me just because I’m not Number-9, will you?”

Jim furrowed his brows when he heard this.

He leaned against the back of his chair and said, frowning, “Charlotte, you misunderstood me.

He had not intended to tell Joshua to let her go, nor had he wanted to protect her.

“Joshua.” He closed his eyes, rubbed his brows in frustration , and said impassively, “I have my own plans when I told you not to take her away.

“Merchant City isn’t your territory, and apart from the Landry family, the Quinn family have their eyes on you as well.

“If you were to capture Charlotte and punish her yourself, the Quinn family would find a way to use this against you, and in the future, you’ll have a hard time dealing with them.”

Jim opened his eyes, turned off the computer screen, refusing to look at Charlotte any longer, and continued, “I suggest you bring her to a police station, where she’ll be sent to jail.

“It should be up to the criminal justice system to determine the appropriate punishment for her crimes, not you and I. What do you think?”

Truth be told, Jim had another intention of saying this.

From the conversation between Charlotte and Roanne, he had found out that the reason he nad lost his memories and was put under Charlotte’s control…was because she had drugged him.

Since Charlotte was capable of drugging him, she might have the antidote with her.

Therefore, he wanted to find a chance to visit her in prison so that he could ask her more about what happened.

He also wanted to find out the true identity of Number 9.

This was why he did not want Joshua to take her away just like that.

As long as Charlotte was in prison, he could visit her and question her anytime, but if she were to fall into Joshua’s hands..

He would have to go through Joshua every time he wanted to see her.

Not only was this troublesome, but this would create a chance for Joshua to use him.

Nonetheless, Joshua knew exactly what Jim was thinking. He could not help chuckling when he heard that Jim wanted to send her to jail.

After all, Jim had lost his memories, and thus he could not remember how close he and Joshua had been in the past. Jim thought that if he allowed Joshua to imprison Charlotte , he would use this against him, but in reality…

Joshua would never do that, nor would he bother to. However, after contemplating this for a while, he agreed.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2067

After all, Jim had lost his memories, so he was not the same person as before. Since Jim thought it would be better to keep Charlotte in prison , Joshua would do as he said.

As soon as he thought of this, Joshua curled his lips into a smirk and replied, “Alright. I’ll send Charlotte to the police station right now.’ Regardless, he could not help reminding, “I do hope that you can continue to keep your eyes wide open, Master Landry.

“If you see her in the future, please remember everything that she said and did in the past. Don’t show her mercy simply because you still love her; this woman is a crooked, deceitful witch.”

The color drained from Charlotte’s face as soon as she heard this.

She slumped onto the ground in sheer disbelief, her entire body frozen in shock as though she had been struck by lightning

She thought Jim had wanted to save her when he stopped Joshua from taking her away, but…

It turned out that he had done this so that he could send her to prison, where it would be more convenient for him to visit her.

How could this be?

How did this even happen? Charlotte immediately started to struggle against the two bodyguard’s grip. “Jim! How can you do this to me?

“I’ve loved you for so many years, and we’ve been together for so many years! How can you do this to me?! “Tell Joshua to let me go! Let me go! I don’t want to go to prison! I didn’t do anything wrong!” All the things she had done were simply to keep the man she loved by her side so she could live the life she deserved!

That was all she wanted! Why did everyone set out to destroy her? Why was the entire world conspiring against her? Just the day before, she had become the new owner of a house worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Why had she suddenly become a prisoner in just 24 hours?

This was downright, fucking unfair! Joshua could not help furrowing his brows when he heard Charlotte’s screams.

This woman had disguised herself extremely well in front of him; he would never have known that Charlotte was such a crazy woman.

Before being exposed , Charlotte had always been a gentle, elegant woman in his eyes, and at one point, Joshua had simply thought she was just a deceitful crook, but it turned out…

She was a delusional, crazed woman all along.

Joshua did not feel like giving her a second glance and instead waved his hand, signaling to his men to bring Charlotte away.

Seeing that Joshua was about to send her to jail as per Jim’s commands, Charlotte started to scream once more, “I don’t want to go to jail! I don’t want to!

“I’m going to be the future Mrs. Landry, the future mistress of the Landry family! How can you send me to jail like this? I did nothing wrong!”

Despair crept across Charlotte’s face as she screamed.

She knew that she had no way out.

She closed her eyes and could not stop herself from shouting at Joshua, “You’re such a heartless man; it’s no wonder you and your daughter will never be able to see each other!”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2068

Joshua furrowed his brows when he heard this.

“Wait,” he spat coldly, then strode toward Charlotte.

He stared at her from his great height, an air of danger hanging around him like a thick fog.” What did you just say? Repeat that”

Charlotte froze before lifting her head to meet Joshua’s cold, penetrating stare. The look in his eyes was so dark that it was as though he would choke her at any minute.

Charlotte instinctively shrunk back from him.

She had blurted this out of desperation, but when faced with Joshua’s furious stare, she suddenly realized she should not have said this.

She should not have said this so bluntly!

After all, Joshua was the person who could dictate her fate from here on out, and if she were to offend him, there was no telling what he could do to her.

Regretting this was too late, unfortunately.

Charlotte swiveled her gaze and quickly added, “Joshua, I know where your daughter is. You and Luna’s daughter is still alive!”

She shot Joshua a pleading look and continued, “I have the DNA report confirming your daughter’s identity with me! Malcolm and Heather never had children at all, and Heather was never even pregnant!

“They had faked Heather’s pregnancy so that they could switch the child out when Luna gave birth to your daughter! Riley is none other than you and Luna’s daughter!”

As she said this, Charlotte could not help watching Joshua’s face cautiously. “Mr. Lynch, if you let me go, I promise to give you the DNA report… What do you think?”

Joshua could not help sneering when he heard this. “Are you saying that you have the DNA report proving that Riley, Luna, and I are related?” Charlotte nodded furiously. “Yes, yes! Heather had the DNA report with her, and she gave it to me when she died…”

“I was the last person Heather saw before she died,” a cold, female voice abruptly rang out from the distance.

Charlotte glanced in the direction of the voice.

Luna, dressed in white, was standing at the entrance of the abandoned orphanage. “If Heather had anything she wanted to pass on before she died, she would’ve given it to me.”

No matter how much time passed by, Luna would still be able to remember Heather lying on the bed covered entirely in blood. She had clutched Luna’s hand and uttered her last words with blood spilling out of her mouth. If Heather had really possessed the DNA report that Charlotte claimed she had, she would have given it to Luna right then and there.

“It’s with me, I swear!” Charlotte immediately grew nervous when she heard this,

Since Jim was not going to help her anymore and had even suggested Joshua send her to prison, this DNA report was the last thing that could save her. She could not give up easily, nor could she let anything go wrong! She bit her lip and added, “Maybe Luna was the last person Heather saw before she died, but I was the one who had devised the accident she had been in, and the DNA report fell into my hands after she got into the car crash! I—”

Before she could finish, Luna furrowed her brows and interrupted, “You were the one who killed Heather?”

Charlotte’s entire body stiffened.

A bad feeling began to arise in her heart. It seemed that out of desperation to prove her worth, she had accidentally admitted to another crime of hers. However, she was short on time, and she had no choice but to roll with it!

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy 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!”

“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.

Charlotte sneered and said, “I’ve given you a chance, Luna, but you didn’t appreciate it. You’d better pray that I die in prison, or else, if I ever live to see the sun, I’ll make you, as well as everyone who wronged me, pay for this!”

Charlotte’s voice was hoarse with contempt, but Joshua could not help snickering when he heard this.

He shrugged, walked over to Luna’s side, and pulled her into his arms. Then, he said with a smirk, “I know how you feel right now, Charlotte.

“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?”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2070

“Sirius?”

Charlotte’s entire body stiffened when she heard this name.

A split second later, she regained her composure and sneered at Joshua. “Who the hell is he?”

Charlotte’s gaze was filled with confusion as though she truly had no idea who this person was.

Luna furrowed her brows and turned to stare at Joshua in surprise. “Do you think she knows Sirius?”

Luna knew who this man was; he was one of Rosalyn and Larry’s classmates.

According to Samuel, the man named ‘Star’ who had appeared in the video of Lucy’s death was Sirius.

However, not only was he involved in Lucy’s death, but he had also employed Todd to kill Colin Landry soon after.

However…

Luna did not understand why Joshua would ask Charlotte about this man.

These two people… probably did not know each other, did they?

“Of course she knows him.” Joshua curled his lips into a smirk, ambled over to Charlotte, then lowered his head to stare at her. “After helping Sirius commit these murders, Todd followed him to Merchant City and subsequently worked his way up to the head honcho of the gangs in Merchant City.

“After his net worth increased, Todd no longer took odd jobs of murdering people like this anymore. Even after Luke arrived in Merchant City and defeated him, landing him at the bottom of the societal hierarchy, he never went back to conducting his old business.

“After all, he had accumulated a fair amount of money from being one of the most notorious gangsters in Merchant City for more than twenty years, so he didn’t have to crawl and scrape for his livelihood anymore.”

Joshua smirked and fixated his cold, penetrating stare on Charlotte’s face as though he could see through her every thought. “However, this man, who didn’t even need the extra money, chose to take your job offer.

“After Todd died, Luke went to his house and found his notebook. It turns out that you had only paid him a hundred thousand dollars for your job offer.

-“A hundred thousand dollars just for him to kill a woman himself? You must mean a lot to him for him to risk so much for so little reward.”

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

She narrowed her eyes and stared at Joshua. “What’s wrong with that? I’m willing to give him the money, and he’s willing to do the work for me. This business transaction is between Todd and me and has nothing to do with anyone else.”

Joshua sneered. “Are you still going to lie, Charlotte?

“How could you, a woman who had left Merchant City for more than six years and never stayed in contact with anyone here, have managed to employ such an important man to kill someone for so little money?

“Do you think anyone—apart from Jim-is stupid enough to believe that?”

Jim, who was listening from inside his office at Landry Mansion, furrowed his brows when he heard this.

He clenched his fists.

A split second later, he could not help interrupting, “Joshua, you should focus on whatever you’re trying to ask. You don’t have to bring me into this.”

Luna almost burst into laughter when she heard Jim’s voice, annoyed but laced with a hint of reluctance within it.

Even though her brother had lost his memories and turned into an entirely different person, he was still as cute as he used to be.

However, the smile disappeared from her face when Luna thought of the bad things Jim had done after losing his memories.

She did not want to associate this man with her brother at all.

He did not deserve to be her brother.
