Chapter 1821


    Jim was a little repulsed by Charlotte’s interrogation. He furrowed his brows, but despite the annoyanceh


    e felt in his heart, he still told her the truth. “Someone called me with a strange number and invited me to


    beet up with them. Since I was flooded with work, I decided toe out to meet them and get a breath o


    f fresh air at the same time.”


    Charlotte could not help curling her lips into a small smile when she heard Jim’s earnest tone. “Alright


    then. Don’t stay out toote.”


    With that, she hung up the phone triumphantly.


    Jim probably was not lying to her.


    After all, she had blocked Luna and Bonnie’s numbers on his phone, and not even Harvey, Christopher,


    or anyone else involved with the Landry family could get through to him.


    Therefore, it was highly possible that one of these people had gotten in touch with Jim using a foreign


    number.


    Charlotte shifted into a morefortable position on the backseat. She watched Jim’s car pull away with


    an impassive look, a triumphant and satisfied smile stered on her face.


    It turned out the poison Rosalyn had been working on all these years was just as useful as she had


    imed


    Charlotte closed her eyes and recalled a memory from six years ago when Rosalyn had brought


    Charlotte, her future ‘daughter-inw’, on a tour of herboratory.Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    At that time, Rosalyn had held her hand lovingly as she exined, “My purpose for developing this drug


    ist o let Jim and Heather’s father forget the past so he can lead a normal life in the future.”


    Charlotte furrowed her brows and could not helpmenting as she stared at the room filled with poison,”


    You certainly love this man very much, Mrs. Landry, but why are you spending so much time trying to


    develop such aplicated drug?


    “If you don’t mind me asking, why don’t you develop a drug that can not only alter Mr. Landry’s memories


    but also control his mind? Won’t that make your life so much easier?”


    As soon as she finished her sentence, Rosalyn sighed and said, “It’s not that I never thought of this. I


    had even sessfully produced this exact drug you’re talking about, but…


    “But in the end, I still asked Larry to make me the antidote so I could cure Charles.”


    With that, she pointed at a small vial of liquid sitting in the corner of the room. “That’s the exact bottle


    right there.”


    Charlotte was still puzzled by this. “So why did you still choose to cure Mr. Landry in the end?”


    Rosalyn sighed. “All drugse with side effects, and for this particr drug, its side effect is that it’ll


    damage a person’s mind and internal organs. It’s equivalent to slowly killing them. On top of that…”


    Rosalyn stared at the wall before her, her gaze seemingly prating through the wall andnding on


    somewhere very, very distant. “Wouldn’t it be tragic that the only way to let him treat me well is by


    controlling him with drugs?”


    Charlotte leaned against the backseat, narrowed her eyes, and muttered the exact words that Rosalyn


    hadst said to her that day.


    “Wouldn’t it be tragic that the only way to let him treat me well is by controlling him with drugs?”


    She opened her eyes and let out a sneer.


    Tragic?


    Charlotte did not agree.


    Just a few minutes ago, Jim had been ring at her murderously, warning her to stay away from his


    sister, but just a few secondster, he took heed of her every word and obeyed her everymand.


    Only a person who had the privilege of experiencing this luxury would understand the joy.


    After letting out an exhale, Charlotte picked up her phone and dialed Roanne’s number. “How much


    poison do we have left? I’m nning to let Jim drink everyst drop tonight.”


    After all, since the warehouse had been destroyed, no one could possibly find the antidote anymore!


    Roanne furrowed her brows when she heard this. “Charlotte, aren’t you worried that … Rosalyn would


    suddenly wake up from hera? I think we should be cautious…”


    Charlotte sneered, “Rosalyn has already been in aa for a year now, and if she were capable of


    waking up, she would’ve done so a long time ago. What are you so scared of? Besides….”


    She narrowed her eyes and added, “It’s not like I don’t have ns of killing Charles and Rosalyn. Even if


    she wakes up, I have my ways of getting rid of her.”
