Chapter 2066

Joshua furrowed his brows as soon as he heard Jim’s voice.
He turned around, picked up the camera, and pointed it at Charlotte. “Are you still going to protect this
woman after all that?”
“Jim!” A surge of energy rushed through Charlotte’s body as soon as she heard that familiar voice She
quickly picked herself up from the ground and stormed toward the camera like a madwoman.

At this moment, her hair was loose around her head, and her face and body were covered in the blood
that had spilled out of Roanne’s body. Her face was still twisted in a grotesque, sinister leer that made
her look like a demon that had crawled right out of hell.
She snatched the camera out of Joshua’s hand and pointed it toward her face. “Jim! I knew you still
loved me! You can’t bear to see me being sent away, can you? I knew it!”
Tears spilled down her cheeks, mixing with the blood on her face and making her look even more
terrifying than before.
She hugged the camera close to her and said, “Jim, after being together for so long, you won’t leave me
just because I’m not Number-9, will you?”

Jim furrowed his brows when he heard this.
He leaned against the back of his chair and said, frowning, “Charlotte, you misunderstood me.
He had not intended to tell Joshua to let her go, nor had he wanted to protect her.
“Joshua.” He closed his eyes, rubbed his brows in frustration , and said impassively, “I have my own
plans when I told you not to take her away.
“Merchant City isn’t your territory, and apart from the Landry family, the Quinn family have their eyes on
you as well.



“If you were to capture Charlotte and punish her yourself, the Quinn family would find a way to use this
against you, and in the future, you’ll have a hard time dealing with them.”

Jim opened his eyes, turned off the computer screen, refusing to look at Charlotte any longer, and
continued, “I suggest you bring her to a police station, where she’ll be sent to jail.

“It should be up to the criminal justice system to determine the appropriate punishment for her crimes,
not you and I. What do you think?”
Truth be told, Jim had another intention of saying this.
From the conversation between Charlotte and Roanne, he had found out that the reason he nad lost his
memories and was put under Charlotte’s control…was because she had drugged
him.

Since Charlotte was capable of drugging him, she might have the antidote with her. Therefore, he
wanted to find a chance to visit her in prison so that he could ask her more

about what happened.
He also wanted to find out the true identity of Number 9.
This was why he did not want Joshua to take her away just like that.
As long as Charlotte was in prison, he could visit her and question her anytime, but if she were to fall into
Joshua’s hands..
He would have to go through Joshua every time he wanted to see her.

Not only was this troublesome, but this would create a chance for Joshua to use him.
Nonetheless, Joshua knew exactly what Jim was thinking. He could not help chuckling when he heard
that Jim wanted to send her to jail.
After all, Jim had lost his memories, and thus he could not remember how close he and Joshua had
been in the past. Jim thought that if he allowed Joshua to imprison Charlotte , he would use this



against him, but in reality…
Joshua would never do that, nor would he bother to. However, after contemplating this for a while, he
agreed.
