In the garden of Landry Mansion’s backyard, Roanne iced her face as she waited for Charlotte in silence.
The words Joshua had said to her in the car kept repeating in her mind. "When I find them. I’ll bring them over to see you so that they can get a clear idea of what you've been up to alongside Charlotte.”
"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." These words rang in her head over and over, like a curse.
Roanne bit her lip, her heart beginning to turn as cold as her swollen cheek.
Even though she had not seen her birth parents in more than 20 years, there was not a second that she did not long to meet them.
Even if they had abandoned her on purpose, Roanne still wanted to find them and ask them why they did not keep to their promise, and why they decided to leave her.
She did not want them to be misled by Joshua into thinking she was a bad child and that their decision of leaving her at the orphanage was the right one...
Just as Roanne was thinking about this, the sound of heels rang out from behind her, followed by the sound of two pairs of leather shoes.
Roanne furrowed her brows and immediately turned around.
Behind her, an angry Charlotte stomped toward her in her high heels, followed by two tall, burly bodyguards dressed in black.
A bad feeling arose in her heart-
If Charlotte had just wanted to talk to her about something she had forgotten, as she had claimed on the phone...why did she bring two guards along?
Just as Roanne was spacing out, Charlotte sneered and pointed in Roanne's direction with a glittery, bejeweled nail. "Seize her!"
