Chapter 1928 As she said this, Charlotte started sobbing. “I can give you anything you want, but please… Please don’t take Jim away from me…
“There’s nothing else in the world that matters more to me than Jim!”
What appeared to be a heartfelt confession of Charlotte’s seemed nothing but a taunt in Luna’s eyes.
Charlotte knew very well that at this point, Jim would lap up anything she said.
Therefore, when she said that the only person she wanted and cared about was Jim…she was just trying to display her power.
Besides, even though Charlotte was crying, her eyes were etched with triumphant glee.
Luna furrowed her brows and said, “The person whom Jim met at the orphanage and promised to marry was Bonnie! How dare you steal her identity and twist the story now? What even gives you the audacity to cry about it in front of me now?”
With that, she stomped over to Charlotte.
However, before she could even say anything, a sinister grin spread across Charlotte’s face as soon as Luna neared.
The next second, a deafening slap echoed through the room.
Smack!
Charlotte had raised her hand and slapped herself across the face, while at the same time falling over backward onto the ground, making it look as though Luna had slapped her instead.
Luna furrowed her brows, but before she could even react, a shadow darted into the room from behind her.
Jim’s shoulder bumped so forcefully against Luna’s that she was pushed aside.
“Are you alright, Charlotte?” Jim picked Charlotte up from the ground, pulling her into his arms tenderly, and stared at her face with a look of concern.
There was a bright red palm print on Charlotte’s right cheek.
Jim held her close to his body and lifted his head to glare at Luna. “So you chose physical violence just because you knew you couldn’t argue with Charlotte?
“Luna, I can’t believe that before this, I was refraining from being too harsh on you, considering you’re my sister, and the same blood is coursing through both our veins.
“It’s unfortunate you don’t seem to think the same way!”
He glared at Luna with a murderous look, as though she was not his sister, but his enemy instead. “I can’t believe you treated Charlotte this way! If you had thought of me as your brother, you’d never have treated the person I love like this!”
With that, he lowered his head to glance at Charlotte’s face and reached out to gently stroke her swollen cheek. “Are you okay?”
“I’m fine.” Charlotte slumped into his arms and said in a trembling voice, “I’m fine, Jim. Don’t fight with Luna over me, please.
“She didn’t mean anything bad at all; she just hates me and wants nothing more than to see you and Bonnie together…”
As she said this, Charlotte reached out to wipe the tears from her face and continued in a choked voice, “Maybe you shouldn’t be with me anymore, Jim. I never wanted you and Luna to end up like this in the first place.
“Maybe you should pretend that the girl you promised to marry was Bonnie all along. You don’t have to take my feelings into account. I’ll be fine, as long as…”
She started sobbing as she continued, “As long as Bonnie treats you well, and you and Luna can return to what you used to be, I’ll be happy with the outcome. You don’t have to care about me. Nothing matters more to me than you, and as long as you’re happy, I’m happy, even if it means we can’t be together…”
The more she tried to emphasize this, the more upset Jim got.
He let out an exhale and lifted his head to glare at Luna, still holding Charlotte close to him.” You want me to get together with your friend Bonnie? Well, in your dreams!”
