Will You Marry Me, My Ex-Wife? novel Chapter 2042

Charlotte bit her lip and shot Jim a nervous glance.

When she saw the determined look on his face, she closed her eyes and picked up the call reluctantly. "Roanne, I know you were the one who took Shelly away, so you better return her as soon as you can!

"Remember: Shelly is my and Jim’s daughter, and even though I'll forgive you for this on the basis that you and I have been sisters for so many years, it doesn't mean that Jim will forgive you so easily!" Charlotte snapped as soon as the call connected.

She was trying to hint to Roanne that Jim was standing right next to her and that she should not say anything out of her place. Roanne was not an idiot; she understood immediately what Charlotte was trying to say.

However, she still sneered and reminded Charlotte, "I understand everything you just said, but if you don't fulfill my requests, Charlotte, there's no telling what I'll do, don't you agree?"

Charlotte bit her lip and had no choice but to say timidly, "I'll give you anything, Roanne, as long as you don't hurt Shelly!"

"Alright, then." Roanne let out an exhale and smirked. "At 10 a.m. tomorrow, I want you to meet me with five million dollars and a car with a foreign license plate. I'll send you the meeting location tomorrow before our stipulated time.

"Remember, you're not to bring anyone with you; you know what'll happen if you

do."

Charlotte closed her eyes and sighed. "I know."

10 a.m...

It was nighttime, and she still had some time to prepare.

Charlotte knew what Roanne had intended to do, asking her to go alone.

Everyone thought that Charlotte would want Shelly to return safe and sound, Roanne knew that Charlotte wanted the child dead!

"Alright then. I'll be waiting for you. You better not pull any tricks, or else."

Charlotte let out a sigh and murmured in reply, then hung up the phone.

Then, she lifted her head to glance at Jim." You heard her... Roanne..."
