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.
However, the people who could truly help her…would not be willing to do so at all.
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?
