Chapter 1927
Luna froze when she heard this.
She stared at Charlotte, who had burst into tears, with a rather exasperated look
What was this woman doing, feigning innocence when Jim was not even around?
Did she just say that she feared Luna more than anyone else in this world? Who was she kidding?
“Stop acting.” Luna sneered. “You say you’re scared of me? Well, you must be a great actress, because I’ve never been able to tell at all.”
With that, she took a step toward Charlotte and said, “Why don’t you show me what you’re afraid of?”
Charlotte bit her lip and took a small step backward in retreat, a look of fear on her face. “You … Don’t do this to me, Luna…”
She started sobbing once more as she whimpered, “I know you must think that I’m after Jim for his money and power, but that’s not true at all, Luna.
“Jim and I were childhood sweethearts, and we’ve known each other since we were young. I…”
Luna could not help snickering when she heard this. She fixed her cold gaze on Charlotte’s insincere face and said, “You and Jim, childhood sweethearts? Who are you trying to bluff, Charlotte? Do you think I haven’t found out?
“You and Bonnie must’ve known each other when you were at the orphanage together, don’t you? The girl that Jim fell in love with and promised to marry was Bonnie!
“Not only have you stolen her identity, but you’ve stolen the true love that rightfully belongs t o her!”
A glimmer of shock flashed through Charlotte’s eyes when she heard this, but a split second later, it was replaced with a look of hatred.
No wonder Joshua had mocked her and called her a thief on the phone that morning.
It turned out that Joshua and Luna had already found out about what happened at Love and Kindness Children’s Home.
Still, what did it matter that they knew?
They had no way of proving her wrong anymore.
The orphanage had already gone bust six years ago by her hands, and she had also bribed the management and owner of the orphanage by sending them to various places overseas.
Therefore, trying to find any evidence of her stealing Bonnie’s identity would be like trying to find a needle in a haystack!
After all, no one, apart from the people who worked at the orphanage, knew about her stealing Bonnie’s identity. Even her sister Roanne, who had been with her for more than ten years, was not entirely sure of what had happened in the past, so how could Joshua and Luna possibly justify their claims?
However, since Luna had brought up the past, this was a perfect opportunity…
Charlotte narrowed her eyes, and, staring at the shadow lurking at the door, she slumped onto the ground in a heap and started crying, “Luna, I never thought you would’ve found out about what happened when I was a child so soon…
She sniffed and continued sobbing, “I know you’re a powerful woman with plenty of resources. You have someone like Joshua Lynch helping you, and your best friend Gwen is even dating a man like Mr. Jones…
“The two most powerful men in Merchant City are on your side…but please, I beg you not to twist the truth. It wasn’t easy for me and Jim to find each other again after so many years…”
Luna furrowed her brows and stared coldly at Charlotte’s deceitful face. “It wasn’t easy? Of course it wasn’t, considering you literally had to mind-control Jim and trick him into thinking this! I can’t even discern your lies from your truths anymore, Charlotte!”
Charlotte narrowed her eyes and glanced at the person standing at the door once more before continuing to wail, “Luna, please, I beg you…
“I know you want to say that the person Jim met at the orphanage and promised to marry when he grew up was Bonnie…but there’s no hiding the truth. You can’t possibly alter the past.
