Chapter 2192
“Why do you say this, Mr. Simms?” Jim narrowed his eyes.
“Would I have declared it so confidently if I didn’t have the answer myself?”
When they were in the dungeon, he had secretly marked the two women to tell them apart.
Jim had secretly ordered his men to ‘accidentally’ tear the shirt of the one who claimed to be Quentin’s daughter while dragging her up the stairwell.
At the thought of this, Jim got up and strode over to the servant with the torn shirt, a cold sneer playing on his lips.
“Whether it was me, Joshua, or Luke, none of us had managed to understand why Charlotte was so close with the Quinn family, so much so that they were willing to steal her from us at the expense of breaking the law.”
As he said this, he glanced coldly at Quentin, whose face was pale.
“What this servant just said reminded me that…” He chuckled and continued, “Charlotte was an orphan, and if she were your daughter, Mr. Simms, everything would make sense.”
The color drained from Quentin’s face.
A split second later, he sneered and replied, “What on earth are you talking about, Jim? Are we basing everything on this lowly servant’s claims? I can’t believe that you even went so far as to deduce that Charlotte is my daughter, too! What nonsense!”
Granny Quinn nodded in agreement as soon as he said this.
“That’s right! Quentin…can’t possibly have a child.”
Joshua furrowed his brows at the sight of Quentin and Granny Quinn’s desperate attempts to deny their correlation in this.
“Even if you insist that Charlotte is my daughter…the truth is, anyone can make that claim. Apart from that servant, this one could’ve done so, too.”
Then, he strode over and glanced coldly at the two servants standing before him.
”Since Mr. Landry insists that one of you is Charlotte, the woman he’s looking for… Why don’t you find out which one it is and then take her away, leaving the other one to me, Mr. Landry? How does that sound?”
Jim narrowed his eyes but did not reply.
Quentin grew even more confident when he noticed Jim’s silence.
It turned out that Jim did not know Charlotte very well after all; now that her looks had been disfigured, there was no way he could tell which one was Charlotte and which was not.
