Chapter 1840
“Even if someone were to sabotage our relationship, I won’t fall for their tricks.”
With that, Jim placed another piece of meat on her plate; his attitude toward her evidently softened compared to before.
Charlotte seized this opportunity and placed a bowl of soup, which contained the drug used to control Jim, in front of him. “I made you a bowl of soup; you should drink it while it’s still hot.”
Jim was already feeling a little guilty for his behavior toward her, so when Charlotte handed him the bowl of soup, he did not suspect anything and instead drank it immediately.
Soon, the drug started to take effect.
Jim let out a yawn, put down his cutlery, and excused himself from the table to get some rest.
When Jim disappeared from view, Charlotte finally let out a sigh of relief. “Well, since Master Landry has already gone to bed, I guess…”
Even though Roanne had not finished her meal yet, she could feel the cold, stifling aura emanating off Charlotte’s body that was clearly hinting at her to leave. Roanne quickly put down her cutlery and said,” Well, I’ll be off now, Charlotte.”
“So soon?” Charlotte snickered and stood up. “I’ll send you out.”
Roanne furrowed her brows, glanced at the servants in the house, and finally nodded.
This was not the place for them to talk.
The two sisters came out from Landry Mansion’s back door one after another.
Roanne’s car was parked on the side of the street across from Landry Mansion’s back door. When the two of them reached the car, she let out an exhale, turned around, and reminded Charlotte in a low voice, “That was the last of the drug you poured into the soup. He’s probably fallen asleep now…
“Charlotte, remember that when you go upstairs later, you have to whisper the things you want him to remember next to his ear and repeat it a few times.
