Chapter 1843
Roanne’s entire body stiffened when she heard this.
She lifted her head to stare at Joshua through the rearview mirror. “Are you saying…you can help me
find my birth parents?”
Joshua curled his lips into a small smile. “Of course I can.”
He shifted into a comfortable position and gave Roanne an elegant smile. “The only people in Merchant
City who are willing to help you…aren’t capable of doing so, whereas the people who can…will never be
willing to help you.
“Therefore, your only chance is to work with me.”
Roanne bit her lip when she heard this.
Joshua was right.
It was not that she had never tried searching for her birth parents before, but the people willing to help
her did not have the power and influence to do so.
To find the couple who had abandoned her more than 20 years ago was like trying to find a needle in a
haystack.

Even though she was the sister of Charlotte Jacobs, Jim Landry’s girlfriend, he would not help her at all
because Charlotte refused to.
Roanne had told Charlotte of her intentions to find her birth parents countless times over the years they
spent together.
She remembered that the reason her parents left her at the orphanage was that they were too poor and
could not afford to raise a child.
At that time, her parents had even cried while hugging her and told her that they would return for her as
soon as they came into some money.
However, more than 20 years had passed, and they did not come.
Because of this, Roanne wanted to find her parents herself and ask them where they had been all these
years. She wanted to ask them whether they had never managed to turn their lives around, or maybe
they had simply forgotten about the daughter they had abandoned at the orphanage.
Alas…
Every time she brought up this topic, Charlotte would smack her and snap, “Why can’t you be like me
and pretend that your birth parents are dead?
“It’s been more than twenty years now, and if they wanted to find you, they would’ve done so a long time
ago!
“What’s wrong? Do you think living with me is unbearable? Is that why you keep on wanting to find your.
parents?”
Every time this happened, Roanne’s face would burn from the slaps, but no matter how much it hurt, she
could not say anything to defend herself.
“Why don’t you consider it?” seeing that Roanne’s attitude had softened, Joshua curled his lips into a
smile and glanced at her red, swollen face. “Judging from the looks of this, this isn’t the first time
Charlotte beat you, is it?
“Do you seriously think that this woman, with whom you have no blood relations to and yet constantly
orders you around like a maid, will treat you better in the future?
If you miss out on this opportunity to work with me, I don’t think you’ll be able to find anyone else with the
same power and influence to help you.”
Roanne clenched her fists upon hearing this.

“What I want is simple.” Joshua curled his lips into a smirk, seeing how anxious Roanne was. “You know
exactly what we want.”
Roanne lowered her head but did not say another word.
A split second later, she sniffed and replied, “I’ll never betray my sister.”.
With that, she shot Theo a cold glance and said, “Unlock the car. I’m getting off.”
Roanne knew exactly how cruel and merciless Charlotte could be.
Heather and Charlotte were best friends six years ago, but that did not stop Charlotte from ending
Heather’s life cold bloodedly when she betrayed her after.
If Roanne were to do the same to Charlotte..she would probably suffer an even more painful death.
Even though finding the whereabouts of her parents was important, it did not matter as much as her life.

Theo furrowed his brows and glanced at Joshua with a somewhat pained look.
Joshua narrowed his eyes and said impassively, “Even if you’re not willing to help us, I’ll still help you
track down your parents.”
