Will You Marry Me, My Ex-Wife? novel Chapter 2066

Joshua furrowed his brows as soon as he heard Jim's voice.

He turned around, picked up the camera, and pointed it at Charlotte. "Are you still going to protect this woman after all that?"

"Jim!" A surge of energy rushed through Charlotte’s body as soon as she heard that familiar voice.

She quickly picked herself up from the ground and stormed toward the camera like a madwoman.

At this moment, her hair was loose around her head, and her face and body were covered in the blood that had spilled out of Roanne's body. Her face was still twisted in a grotesque, sinister leer that made her look like a demon that had crawled right out of hell.

She snatched the camera out of Joshua’s hand and pointed it toward her face. "Jim! I knew you still loved me! You can’t bear to see me being sent away, can you? I knew it!

Tears spilled down her cheeks, mixing with the blood on her face and making her look even more terrifying than before.

She hugged the camera close to her and said, "Jim, after being together for so long, you won't leave me just because I'm not Number-9, will you?"

Jim furrowed his brows when he heard this.

He leaned against the back of his chair and said, frowning, "Charlotte, you misunderstood me."

He had not intended to tell Joshua to let her go, nor had he wanted to protect her.

"Joshua." He closed his eyes, rubbed his brows in frustration, and said impassively," I have my own plans when I told you not to take her away.

"Merchant City isn't your territory, and apart from the Landry family, the Quinn family have their eyes on you as well.

"If you were to capture Charlotte and punish her yourself, the Quinn family would find a way to use this against you, and in the future, you'll have a hard time dealing with them."

Jim opened his eyes, turned off the computer screen, refusing to look at Charlotte any longer, and continued, "I suggest you bring her to a police station, where she'll be sent to jail.

"It should be up to the criminal justice system to determine the appropriate punishment for her crimes, not you :c$
