“Sirius?”
Charlotte’s entire body stiffened when she heard this name.
A split second later, she regained her composure and sneered at Joshua. “Who the hell is he?”
Charlotte’s gaze was filled with confusion as though she truly had no idea who this person was.
Luna furrowed her brows and turned to stare at Joshua in surprise. “Do you think she knows Sirius?”
Luna knew who this man was; he was one of Rosalyn and Larry’s classmates.
According to Samuel, the man named ‘Star’ who had appeared in the video of Lucy’s death was Sirius.
However, not only was he involved in Lucy’s death, but he had also employed Todd to kill Colin Landry
soon after.
However…
Luna did not understand why Joshua would ask Charlotte about this man.
These two people… probably did not know each other, did they?
“Of course she knows him.” Joshua curled his lips into a smirk, ambled over to Charlotte, then lowered
his head to stare at her. “After helping Sirius commit these murders, Todd followed him to Merchant City
and subsequently worked his way up to the head honcho of the gangs in Merchant City.
“After his net worth increased, Todd no longer took odd jobs of murdering people like this anymore. Even
after Luke arrived in Merchant City and defeated him, landing him at the bottom of the societal hierarchy,
he never went back to conducting his old business. “After all, he had accumulated a fair amount of
money from being one of the most notorious gangsters in Merchant City for more than twenty years, so
he didn’t have to crawl and scrape for his livelihood anymore.”
Joshua smirked and fixated his cold, penetrating stare on Charlotte’s face as though he could see
through her every thought. “However, this man, who didn’t even need the extra money, chose to take
your job offer.
“After Todd died, Luke went to his house and found his notebook. It turns out that you had only paid him
a hundred thousand dollars for your job offer.
-“A hundred thousand dollars just for him to kill a woman himself? You must mean a lot
to him for him to risk so much for so little reward.”
The color drained from Charlotte’s face when she heard this. She narrowed her eyes and stared at
Joshua. “What’s wrong with that? I’m willing to give him the money, and he’s willing to do the work for
me. This business transaction is between Todd and me and has nothing to do with anyone else.” Joshua
sneered. “Are you still going to lie, Charlotte? “How could you, a woman who had left Merchant City for
more than six years and never stayed in contact with anyone here, have managed to employ such an
important man to kill someone for so little money?
“Do you think anyone—apart from Jim-is stupid enough to believe that?”
Jim, who was listening from inside his office at Landry Mansion, furrowed his brows when he heard
this.
He clenched his fists.
A split second later, he could not help interrupting, “Joshua, you should focus on whatever you’re trying
to ask. You don’t have to bring me into this.”
Luna almost burst into laughter when she heard Jim’s voice, annoyed but laced with a hint of
reluctance within it.
Even though her brother had lost his memories and turned into an entirely different person, he was still
as cute as he used to be. However, the smile disappeared from her face when Luna thought of the bad
things Jim had done after losing his memories. She did not want to associate this man with her brother at
all. He did not deserve to be her brother. “Was I wrong to say that?” Joshua replied, snickering, then
turned to gaze at Charlotte and continued impassively, “Charlotte, I’ve told you, this is your last chance. “I
don’t believe you at all when you say you don’t know this man.”
