The tone in Joshua's voice grew frostier as he continued, "You deliberately sabotaged Jim and Bonnie's relationship and his sibling bond with Luna, and even plotted to take the Landry family fortune as your own.
"If your parents see the despicable things you did, they'll probably be glad that they decided to abandon you at that orphanage."
The atmosphere inside the car was suffocating.
Roanne clenched her fists as she lifted her head to glare at Joshua. "I never did any of these! Don’t spout nonsense like this!" All of these were Charlotte's doing, so what did they have to do with her?
She was obeying Charlotte's orders and doing things as she wanted!
"This isn’t nonsense; everyone in Merchant City knows what you did." Joshua reached out to unlock the car door with a sneer. " Didn't you want to get off? Well, you can go now, and anything I do after this—anything I say to anyone-will have nothing to do with you from now on."
Roanne's entire body stiffened when she heard this.
She never thought that Joshua would behave like this after she rejected the offer t o cooperate with him.
It was as though she mattered almost nothing to him, but...
She was Charlotte's personal assistant, the person closest to her, so how could he possibly give up his plans to bribe her so easily?
Just as Roanne was staring at Joshua's face blankly, trying to figure out what to do, he suddenly turned around to glance at her with a sneer. "Please don't be under the impression that you're important to me.
"I was trying to do you a favor and help you find your parents, but you couldn't understand my kindness.
"Maybe I was wrong, and in fact, you love being Charlotte's slave and love being slapped by her in broad daylight.
"Theo, send her off."
The color drained from Roanne's face when she heard this.
Theo quickly got out of the driver's seat, strode over to Roanne's side, and opened the car door. "Please leave."
With that, he even shot Joshua a helpless glance and added, "You shouldn't get on his bad side. When he's angry, there's no telling what he won't do."
