Semua Bab Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy: Bab 2051 - Bab 2060

Theo furrowed his brows and quickly declined the call when he heard Jim asking about Roanne. "I…haven't been in touch with her at all. You must be mistaken."With that, he let out an exhale and circled past Jim. "Well, I need to get back soon, so I'll be off now."How could Jim let Theo go just like that?Roanne had kidnapped Shelly and demanded Charlotte meet her the next day.At this very minute, he bumped into Theo, who was carrying a bottle of children's medicine and who had received a call from Roanne. There was no way Jim would not grow suspicious of him, and he could not let him leave so easily."Theo." Jim narrowed his eyes and said sternly, his gaze fixed on Theo's face, "Are you in on this with Roanne? Is the medicine for Shelly? Has Shelly fallen sick?"Theo did not know how to answer these questions, but the longer he stayed silent, the more confident Jim grew in his suspicion that Theo was working together with Roanne.He lunged forward and grabbed hold of Theo's co

Bonnie asked in a low voice, frowning, as soon as Jim left, "What's going on with Roanne now?"Jim and Charlotte both thought that Roanne had kidnapped Shelly, but Bonnie knew that Shelly was, in fact, safe and sound at Joshua's house, playing with the rest of the children.This was why she had appeared so calm when Jim brought up Roanne and could even ask Theo about her.Theo let out an awkward cough. "I'm not too sure either. She told me to send her some food and children's things, so I did."However, she didn't let me enter the room and told me to leave as soon as I dropped the stuff she wanted off."He let out a sigh and lifted his head to shoot Bonnie a puzzled glance. "Isn't Shelly at Joshua's house now? If so, why did Roanne still ask me to bring her children's supplies? Who does she have with her now?"Bonnie shrugged. "I have no idea."Then, she sighed and turned to glance at Sean. "Do you want to come with us to Joshua's place, or do you want to go home?"Even though

The lighting in the house was dim, but Bonnie could make out that there were plenty of pictures hanging on the wall.All of the photos had Lucy in them.There were images of her with a younger Sean and some of her and a girl with pigtails.Bonnie recognized the girl as Sean's sister, Nikki.The photos on the wall were arranged according to chronological order, all the way from Sean's childhood to his pubescent years.The last picture was one of Lucy, Sean, and Nikki. In the photo, Sean looked about 14 or 15 years old, whereas Nikki looked about 10.Bonnie felt her blood run cold.How could this be?Did Lucy not die more than 20 years ago? Why did she appear in the photos with Sean, who, in the most recent one, appeared to be in his teenage years?Sean was only 20 years old at present, which meant that…Lucy had still been alive at least six years ago!Could it be that this was not Lucy at all, and instead, someone who looked identical to her?As soon as she thought of this,

Joshua's house remained lit for the entire night.Meanwhile, at Landry Mansion, Jim, too, was up the entire night.The next morning, the butler delivered his breakfast to his room at 8 a.m. "Master Landry, Ms. Charlotte has been shouting in the cellar for an entire night, so much so that she's lost her voice now. Aren't you…going to let her out?"Jim narrowed his eyes but did not even glance at the food he had brought. "Let her continue staying there.""But…" The butler appeared a little uncomfortable. "Just now, she shouted that Shelly had been kidnapped by Roanne, and she demanded that Ms. Charlotte meet her at 10 a.m. on the dot with the money she wanted."There are only two hours left, and if you don't let her out soon, it might be too late…"If something bad were to happen to Shelly because of this…both you and Ms. Charlotte will be weighed down with guilt for the rest of your lives."Jim rubbed his brows in frustration upon hearing this.He knew that, but…He did not fee

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
