“I spent so much time and effort making Jim forget the past and drug him into listening to my every
word, and now that Christopher is trying to formulate an antidote for the poison, you’re asking me if I
want to stop him or not?” She pursed her lips and added,
“Sirius, if you want to hear me calling you Father in your lifetime, you have to do as I say!” Quentin
sneered.
“Alright then. We’ll proceed with the plan.” Then, he narrowed his eyes, walked over to Charlotte’s side,
and grabbed hold of her chin, forcing her to meet his gaze.
“I don’t like the face you have now. Why don’t I help you turn it into what it’s supposed to be?”
Charlotte widened her eyes in shock.
“What…what do you mean?”
“What I mean is…” He chuckled.
“Ever since you got that plastic surgery, you don’t look like my daughter anymore, and I think you’d be
better off having an ugly face.”
Then, without warning, he picked up a knife and slashed it across Charlotte’s face.
“Aaahhhhh~!” Cries of agony echoed through the entire house.
When Bonnie and Harvey arrived at the Civil Rights Bureau, Theo was in the middle of a heated
discussion with one of the employees.
He was a gentle and soft-spoken person, and even when engaged in a heated debate, his tone was
still soft and humble.
“So I’m not allowed to make her my wife in the eyes of the law just because she’s dead? This was her
dying wish, so I have to help her fulfill it!”
The civil rights officer looked a little perplexed by this request.
“Sir, you’re not allowed to get married to a dead person. If you’re really determined to do this, you can
get a witch doctor or sorcerer to host a ceremony for you to bind your soul to her in the underworld…”
“No, I don’t want that. I want to be married legally to her…”
This was what Bonnie heard as soon as she stepped through the door.
Meanwhile, next to Theo, Rachel was sitting quietly, scrolling through her phone, as though she was
just there as an assistant, and whether Theo and Roanne got married or not was none of her concern
at all.
Bonnie sighed at this sight.
She knew exactly what had been going on between Rachel before this. In the past, even when Theo
tried to paint pictures of Roanne, they would always turn out looking more like Rachel than anyone.
Rachel, on the other hand, was an extremely busy woman, but she would take hours out of her packed
schedule to talk to Theo on the phone.
In the past, Bonnie had thought these two would eventually end up together, but to her surprise…
Roanne’s death had caused such a dramatic shift in Theo.
She sighed and stormed forward to tear Theo away from the fight.
“What the hell is wrong with you? Why are you insisting on getting married to a dead girl when there’s a
live person here that you don’t even cherish? If you’re so determined to marry her, why don’t you kill
yourself and join her in the underworld?”
Theo curled his lips into a smirk.
“Do you think that idea never crossed my mind? If it wasn’t for the fact that my parents are still
around…I would’ve done that already.”
Bonnie could not help feeling that this man had gone utterly bonkers. She sighed and said,” Theo,
please reconsider whether your insistence on marrying Roanne is because you truly love her or
because you’re overcome by your guilt toward her? You can’t sacrifice your own happiness because of
her. It’s unfair to both you and…”
She glanced at Rachel before finally adding, “And Rachel.”
At the mention of Rachel, Theo lifted his head to glance at the woman, who was scrolling on her phone
in silence.
“Her? What does this have to do with her?”
