Heather suddenly received a call from a foreign number as soon as she got into the car after coming out of the DNA Diagnostic Center.
She furrowed her brows as she picked up the call.
"Heather, you're the reason Jim discovered I'm here," Charlotte's displeased voice rang out from the other end of the line. She sneered and icily added, "You're just as much of a busybody as you were six years ago!"
Heather could not help curling her lips into a smirk when she heard how exasperated Charlotte was. "This is what you get for not paying me, Charlotte."
She curled her lips into a triumphant smile. "I told you before. Even though I'm no longer the heiress of the Landry family, it still doesn't make it okay for you to order me around like this.
"I still haven't told Jim about your involvement in helping us kill Luna.
"After all, the only reason we got to know Jason was because of you, wasn't it?"
As soon as she said this, Heather smacked her forehead in sudden realization. "Oh, you probably don't know this, do you, Charlotte?
"In the past, you bribed Jason to 'lend' his girlfriend to Jim for one night, leading to the birth of Harvey, all because you weren't fertile and wanted to use a child t o keep Jim by your side...
"Do you know who that woman was? That woman is Bonnie Craig, Jim's current girlfriend!
"Not only does Jim like her, but Harvey adores her as well, and she's now even taking care of Jim's one-month-old daughter.
"Do you think if I were to tell Jim right now that she's actually Harvey's mother...
"According to his devotion to his loved ones, do you think he'd choose kind, innocent, Bonnie, or deceitful, ugly Charlotte?"
Charlotte could feel her blood pressure rising as soon a s she heard this. She gripped her phone tightly and snapped, "Don't you dare!"
"Why wouldn't I dare?" remarked Heather triumphantly as she leaned against the seat of her car, sneering.
