Chapter 1865
Roanne could not help the bitter smile on her face when she heard Charlotte scolding her over the phone. “Charlotte, are you sure you want to talk so loudly to me?”
With that, she lifted her head to glance at the butler. “Can you excuse us?”
The butler paused for a moment, then got up and left the room,
After hearing his footsteps disappear, Roanne finally curled her body into a more comfortable position and said in a low voice, “You still haven’t managed to bribe the Landry family butler yet, so how can you talk so loudly to me, knowing you dialed his number to get to me? Do you want him to find out about what we did to Jim?”
Charlotte furrowed her brows slightly upon hearing this, and most of her anger dissipated.
She was so impatient to know the truth that she let all her rage loose as soon as she heard Roanne’s voice. She even forgot that the butler had probably been there when Roanne picked up the phone.
However, even after knowing it was her fault, she still tried to put all the blame on Roanne. “How dare you even lecture me like this?
“Would I even act so impulsively if you hadn’t messed with my hypnotization?”
With that, she gritted her teeth and snapped, “Let me ask you this; why does Jim still remember Harvey? Didn’t I tell you to erase all his memories of the last six years, everything that happened after his business trip to Banyan City?
“Why does he still remember Harvey’s existence? Do you know that you almost made me break character just now when he brought up Harvey in the car?”
Roanne was in so much pain that her body was coiled into a ball, like a thoroughly cooked shrimp.” Charlotte, it hurts too much.”
She was in excruciating pain.
Her body was covered in bruises, and her skin was red and swollen.
Even a single touch sent waves of pain throughout her entire body.
For the last night, Charlotte had imprisoned her here and did not give her any help apart from a few pieces of bread and several bottles of water.
Even though Roanne would not die of starvation or dehydration, she still thought she would die from the immense pain she was in.
However, Charlotte could not be bothered to deal with her sister at all. “I called you not to hear you complaining or whining about your situation. Is it wrong of me to punish you for the mistakes you committed?
“Roanne, remember, I’m still talking to you about Jim!”
Roanne curled her lips into a bitter smile when she heard Charlotte’s wrath-filled voice. “The reason why Jim remembers Harvey…I had done this on purpose.”
As soon as she finished her sentence, Charlotte started scolding her once more without even listening to her explanation, “I knew it! I knew you’d betray me!
“I can’t believe this, Roanne. How dare you betray me like this? Have you forgotten who was the one who helped you escape from the orphanage so you could live a better life?
“You wouldn’t even be here right now if it weren’t for me!”
Roanne was already used to hearing all this.
In the past, whenever Charlotte scolded her, she would listen quietly, her head lowered like an obedient child, but at this moment…
She could feel a wave of coldness spread through her entire body and into her heart.
After waiting for Charlotte to finish her lecture, Roanne finally let out a sigh and continued her explanation, “Charlotte, there’s a reason I chose to leave Jim’s memories of Harvey intact.
“Harvey’s only six, but despite this, he looks identical to how Jim used to look when he was a child, so even if you managed to hide him from Jim now, you can’t possibly keep this up forever. One day, they’re bound to meet.
“Even if he has no idea this child is his son, he’ll still be curious if one day he were to catch sight of a young boy who looks exactly like him.
“When that happens, he’ll no doubt investigate Harvey, and maybe in his investigation, he’ll accidentally come across the incident with Bonnie that happened six years ago.”
