Chapter 1840
“Even if someone were to sabotage our relationship, I won’t fall for their tricks.”
With that, Jim placed another piece of meat on her plate; his attitude toward her evidently softened compared to before.
Charlotte seized this opportunity and placed a bowl of soup, which contained the drug used to control Jim, in front of him. “I made you a bowl of soup; you should drink it while it’s still hot.”
Jim was already feeling a little guilty for his behavior toward her, so when Charlotte handed him the bowl of soup, he did not suspect anything and instead drank it immediately.
Soon, the drug started to take effect.
Jim let out a yawn, put down his cutlery, and excused himself from the table to get some rest.
When Jim disappeared from view, Charlotte finally let out a sigh of relief. “Well, since Master Landry has already gone to bed, I guess…”
Even though Roanne had not finished her meal yet, she could feel the cold, stifling aura emanating off Charlotte’s body that was clearly hinting at her to leave. Roanne quickly put down her cutlery and said,” Well, I’ll be off now, Charlotte.”
“So soon?” Charlotte snickered and stood up. “I’ll send you out.”
Roanne furrowed her brows, glanced at the servants in the house, and finally nodded.
This was not the place for them to talk.
The two sisters came out from Landry Mansion’s back door one after another.
Roanne’s car was parked on the side of the street across from Landry Mansion’s back door. When the two of them reached the car, she let out an exhale, turned around, and reminded Charlotte in a low voice, “That was the last of the drug you poured into the soup. He’s probably fallen asleep now…
“Charlotte, remember that when you go upstairs later, you have to whisper the things you want him to remember next to his ear and repeat it a few times.
“He’ll remember everything you say, and he’ll carry it out as you ask…”
Charlotte curled her lips into a smirk and scoffed, “I don’t need you to teach me that.”
With that, she shot Roanne a cold glare. “Turn around.”
Roanne did not understand what she was going to do and immediately turned around as she had asked
Smack!
A loud slap echoed through the empty, quiet street.
Charlotte’s slap landed on Roanne’s face so harshly that she staggered a few steps back and hit her back against the car behind her.
She stared at Charlotte with wide eyes. “Charlotte, you”
Smack!
Smack!
Before Roanne could even finish her sentence, Charlotte slapped her two more times across her face.”. How dare you stay for dinner even though Jim invited you? Didn’t you notice how many times I was
hinting at you to get the fuck out?”
Charlotte glared at her sister and snapped, “Do you think he’s interested in you just because he asked you to stay for dinner? Let me tell you this; Jim Landry belongs to me. He has, and he will forever belong to m e! A bitch like you won’t even stand a chance against me!”
Roanne’s head was starting to ring from the impact of the three slaps.
Despite this, she bit her lip and tried to defend herself. “Charlotte, that wasn’t my intention at all —”
“What were your intentions, then?” Charlotte sneered. “How dare you even tell Jim that I was the one who liked mutton and not you? “Do you want him to find out about what happened at the orphanage? Is that what you want?”
