Chapter 2017
However, Bonnie was different.
She and Bonnie shared the same enemy, which
was Charlotte.
Besides, as long as she held the truth about Bonnie’s child close to her, Bonnie would surely
do anything to protect her.
Therefore, as long as she sought shelter with Bonnie, Charlotte would not dare harm her!
On the one hand, because Bonnie was with the children, Charlotte would have to think twice before attempting to
hurt them.
On the other hand, there was only a small door separating the house from the main building of Landry Mansion,
and she only had to shout for Jim to hear them from the main building should
Charlotte try to harm her.
Charlotte would never risk exposing her identity
to get rid of a little pawn like her.
Bonnie furrowed her brows and contemplated this for a minute, then finally nodded. “As long as you promise me
you’ll never stay in touch with Charlotte again or help her do anything, I can offer you one of the empty rooms to
stay in.”
“Don’t worry.” Roane curled her lips into a self deprecating smirk. “She’s treated me like a dog long enough; it’s

human.”
With that, she let out an exhale and brought her
suitcase into one of the empty rooms without
hesitation.
Bonnie furrowed her brows as she watched Roanne enter, and after giving Sean a few words of caution, she
returned to her room to continue
feeding Shelly.
Little did she know, Jim had witnessed her entire
conversation with Roanne in the garden.
He had not been spying on them on purpose; he had gone out onto the second-floor balcony to get some fresh air
after receiving a disturbing call
from his office.
However, while he was out on the balcony, he caught sight of Roanne going into Bonnie’s yard
after leaving Landry Mansion.
Jim had been on the phone at that time, so he could only sneak some glances at them in
between snippets of conversation.
Even just by the vague snippets of their voices, he could make out what Roanne had been telling
Bonnie.
Bonnie had a son whom she was trying to find, but he did not manage to overhear what she said
to Roanne.
However, he watched Bonnie take Roanne in
her into her house.
Jim’s expression darkened as he watched Roanne
enter the house.
He did not recall any interaction between Bonnie and Roanne before this, so since when did these two women
suddenly become so close?
Bonnie was even willing to take Roanne in.
Roanne, too, did not seem to mind that she had to
live in a small servant’s room.
Jim narrowed his eyes and suddenly recalled how Roanne had looked when she was kneeling in front of him, trying
to drive a wedge between him
and Charlotte.
Jim sneered
Bonnie was far more deceitful and cunning than
she appeared.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe could not believe that she had managed to bribe Roanne, who had been with Charlotte for many years. Not only
had she tricked Roanne into defending her, but she had even somehow convinced Roanne to defame Charlotte
behind her
back and make such ludicrous accusations!
If he had not been so rational and managed to expose Roanne’s lies, Bonnie’s plan would have worked!
As soon as he thought of this, an expression of
disgust crept across his face.
All of a sudden, his phone rang.
It was a call from Charlotte.
“Jim…” Charlotte burst into tears as soon as he picked up the phone. “Come over and keep me company! I had a
nightmare last night because
you weren’t sleeping next to me!”
Jim furrowed his brows. “Alright. I’ll come right
away!”
With that, he hung up and immediately went
downstairs to get his car.
To his surprise, he had just exited the gate when another car screeched to a halt in front of him,
blocking his path.
Luna leaped out of the car in anger and tossed a folder onto Jim as she flung open his door. “Look
what your precious fiancée did!”
