Will You Marry Me, My Ex-Wife? novel Chapter 2060

Just as Jim's mind was filled with doubts about this, Charlotte suddenly snapped," Why the fuck are you bringing this up now?

"I've brought you the money!" She threw the bag of cash down on the ground with a slam and said, sneering, "Never have I imagined that I'd one day be betrayed by a bitch like you!

"Have you forgotten how kind I treated you back at the orphanage? If I hadn't said anything when Jim returned to take me, you would've still been stuck at that wretched place! I'm the reason you even have what you have right now!

"It's one thing to be ungrateful, but another thing entirely to betray me, kidnap Jim's daughter, and hold her against me for ransom! You're an ungrateful bitch, Roanne!

Roanne could not help snickering when she heard this. "Charlotte, are you sure you did all that out of kindness and pity toward me?"

She stood up and, taking slow steps toward Charlotte, coldly remarked, "I know that you did all of those for your selfish reasons! Not only did you lie to Jim, Charlotte, but you lied to me as well.

"When Number-9 left the orphanage, you stole the keepsake that Jim left for her and approached the owner of the orphanage to let you take her place as Number-9.1 had been Number-23 at that time, and you made me fill your place as Number-12.

"All this while, I thought you were trying to help me by letting me take your place as Number-12, since the smaller the number, the less likely you were to get bullied by the rest of the children, but..."

Roanne sneered. "I found out too late that you hadn't done this for me at all.

"You had simply done this so that Jim would think you and Number-9 were the same people. After all, Number-9 had been kind to you in the past, and you were worried that when Jim returned for her, he could tell that you weren’t her and expose you, is that right?"

Roanne's words were like sharp knives stabbing into Charlotte's heart.
