Chapter 2044 “Tim!” Charlotte knocked on the door in desperation. “Did you actually fall for Bonnie and Luna’s
lies? Why would you want to rethink our relationship? Weren’t we perfectly fine before this? Besides…” She bit her
lip. “I still have to meet Roanne tomorrow to save our little Shelly!” A glimmer of pain and helplessness flashed
through Jim’s eyes when he heard Charlotte’s desperate screams.
However, he could not deny the fact that she had tried to poison him.
He could not deny the fact that she had bribed the flight crew in Banyan City in an attempt to kill Harvey and Shelly.
Maybe, just maybe, everything Bonnie and Luna had been saying was true, too. In the past, Jim would tolerate and
take pity on her, thinking that everything she had done was just out of desperation to be with him, but at this
moment…
He could not lie to himself anymore.

She had become someone he could not recognize anymore, someone whose ways he did not approve of in the
least.
No matter how much he loved her, he would not allow someone who tried to kill him and the children over and over
to remain by his side.
Love was not the only thing that mattered in life, but not only that, these were two vibrant, lively children’s lives!
“I’ll meet Roanne by myself tomorrow. You stay here and reflect on yourself. After I finish settling the business with
Roanne… I’ll let you out so you can leave Merchant City.”
Charlotte’s hand stiffened when she heard this. She bit her lip, and her voice became tinged with a sob. “What did I
do wrong? Why do you need time apart? “Jim Landry! Do you know how much I sacrificed for you? What gives you
the right to lock me in the cellar like this?”
Jim could not help sneering when he heard this. “This morning, Joshua gave me a recording of you devising a plan
to kill Shelly and Harvey.
“Also, I saw you when you were in the kitchen just now; I saw your every move. How dare you claim that you never
did anything wrong, Charlotte?”
The color drained from Charlotte’s face. She bit her lip and slumped against the door in exhaustion. “Jim, I
“Charlotte, I know you were just trying to protect yourself, but you know what kind of person I am: no one is allowed
to harm my family, especially not the defenseless children. “You knew fully well what I was doing when I showed up
at the orphanage; I had been there to look for Luna.

“I can’t possibly stand by and not do anything after you’ve crossed the line again and again. “Also, you lied to me;

she leaped against the door, listening to Jim’s footsteps get further and further away. Why? Why?
Why, even despite drugging him and making him lose his memories, did Jim still end up leaving her? She could not
tolerate this!
After returning from the cellar, Jim sat down at the table and curled his lips into a smirk as he stared at the lasagna
Charlotte had made for him.
By some sheer, unknown force, he found himself picking up his fork and eating it.
He wanted to punish himself.
He wanted to punish himself for tolerating Charlotte for so long, for taking so long to see through her lies. Truth be
told, there had been a number of occasions when he caught a glimpse of Charlotte’s malicious, true form.
However, he had chosen to pretend he had not seen it. He naively believed that it had just been a projection of her
insecurities, and because of this, he had tried to love her and show her even more affection in hopes that she would
change after receiving the warmth and love she needed.
