Luna developed a high fever after Joshua took her home. He had changed a few family doctors, but the effect was minimal.Luna had a high fever for two days. Joshua remained by her side in her room through it all.Finally, in the afternoon of the second day, Luna's eyes slowly opened with her brows knitted together.Her vision became clear.She rubbed her aching head while sizing up her surroundings and getting up from the bed.When she saw the black-and-white decor of the room and Joshua, who was next to her leaning on a chair asleep, Luna finally realized that she should have been brought to Joshua's mansion in Merchant City.Feeling her movements, Joshua, who was leaning back on the chair resting, slowly opened his eyes."You're up."Looking at Luna's haggardly pale face, Joshua furrowed his brows and said with a hoarse voice, "Are you thirsty? I'll go get you a cup of water."Luna responded in a hoarse voice, "I'm thirsty."Joshua immediately got up and headed downstairs.
At that thought, Luna immediately lifted her head and looked at Joshua seriously."Can you help out? Bonnie…"Joshua heard the call between Luna and Nigel clearly. He looked at Luna deeply. "Are you planning to look for Bonnie before she finds Jim?"Luna nodded. "Mmh."She had to tell Bonnie the truth before Bonnie got hurt. Otherwise, not only would Bonnie be sad, but she would also lose hope for Jim, too."There is no need."Joshua took a deep breath. He raised his hand and gently combed Luna's hair behind her ear."Even if you tell Bonnie about Jim's condition, do you think she won't look for him to find out what's going on?"Luna bit her lip. "I'm only afraid that she'll get hurt.""That's inevitable."Joshua took a deep breath. He combed the last strand of hair behind her ears before retreating his hand."But, I'll still send someone to help you look for her."Luna bit her lip. She lowered her gaze and looked at her fingers."Okay, thank you."Joshua furrowed his bro
Joshua shuddered a little upon hearing what Luna said.A moment later, he raised his eyebrows. "My aunt?"Luna nodded."Since you're looking into my uncle's accident to clear Granny Lynch's name, I thought I should properly talk to you about your aunt. Perhaps it can turn things around."Joshua was silent for a while before nodding. "Alright."Then, Joshua left and closed the door behind him.Luna closed her eyes, clasped her palms together, and prayed. She hoped that Bonnie would not be too devastated over Jim. She hoped that Joshua's men would be able to find Bonnie before things got out of hand between Bonnie and Jim.…In the study of the Landry Mansion.After organizing all the information regarding Luna, Jim went back to his desktop and looked at the photo of the woman in a daze.He had thought about it for two days, but he still could not remember who this woman was. That was strange.Other than the photo of the woman, he still could not understand another thing. If L
"What sort of place is that?"The butler's head remained lowered. "I—I…I don't know.""Do you really not know, or are you lying?"Charlotte coldly raised her eyebrows and looked at the butler. She said coldly, "If you know about it, you can't hide it from me. You should know who's truly the master of the Landry family."The butler immediately nodded and timidly said, "I…I know."Jim chased Luna away. Although on the surface, Jim was the master of the Landry family, in fact, the person with the real power was Charlotte.Jim would not defy whatever Charlotte said.Charlotte was even more arrogant at the butler's response. "If you know, then why are you still not speaking? What sort of place is the Tea Cottage?!"The butler had been serving the Landry family for half of his life. Even Charles and Rosalyn respected him. However, never thought that he would be ordered around by Charlotte, who only recently came to the Landry family.He suppressed the bitterness in his heart."I re
Jim was a little repulsed by Charlotte's interrogation. He furrowed his brows, but despite the annoyance he felt in his heart, he still told her the truth. "Someone called me with a strange number and invited me to meet up with them. Since I was flooded with work, I decided to come out to meet them and get a breath of fresh air at the same time."Charlotte could not help curling her lips into a small smile when she heard Jim's earnest tone. "Alright then. Don't stay out too late."With that, she hung up the phone triumphantly.Jim probably was not lying to her.After all, she had blocked Luna and Bonnie's numbers on his phone, and not even Harvey, Christopher, or anyone else involved with the Landry family could get through to him.Therefore, it was highly possible that one of these people had gotten in touch with Jim using a foreign number.Charlotte shifted into a more comfortable position on the backseat. She watched Jim's car pull away with an impassive look, a triumphant and
"My biggest enemy right now is Luna and her wretched best friend, Bonnie."…Jim's car pulled up in front of Tea Cottage.As soon as the car stopped and Jim stepped foot on the ground, he caught sight of a black car parked underneath a big tree in the distance.If he remembered correctly, that car belonged to the Landry family.He furrowed his brows, a twinge of displeasure creeping through his heart.He had just hung up the call with Charlotte not too long ago, so if she were to follow him from Landry Mansion, she could not possibly have caught up with him so quickly.Therefore, it was clear that Charlotte had followed him from the instant he stepped out of the house.Combined with the phone call…It was clear that Charlotte had been following him all this while, and the phone call was just to pretend that she noticed his disappearance from Landry Mansion and inquired of his whereabouts.As soon as he thought of this, annoyance seeped through his heart.Jim subconsciously d
Who was this woman?Bonnie, on the other hand, could not help snickering when she heard Jim's words."Don't you know who I am?"She inched closer to him and reached out to wrap her arms around his toned waist as soon as she reached him. "I'm your future fiancée, of course."From the moment Jim hinted at her that he was going to marry her, Bonnie had been unable to hide her excitement and delight.Even though he had blocked her phone number soon after that, she still thought it was because he was upset that she did not return to Merchant City alongside Luna.This was why she had chosen to come to Merchant City without even notifying Luna and sent him the message using a strange number.To her surprise, however, Jim could ask her who she was?Who else was she?She was Harvey and Shelly's soon-to-be stepmother, his future wife!Bonnie's daring and intimate actions made Jim frown even more deeply.This time, he did not show her mercy and instead removed her arms forcefully befor
No. Jim must have tricked her!Jim could not possibly have found another fiancée. She was his only love!After letting out an exhale, Bonnie propped her aching body up and chased after Jim.After coming out of the house, she realized that the sky outside had already turned dark, as though it would rain at any moment.She sprinted after Jim and grabbed hold of his arm. "You're lying to me, aren't you?"Bonnie clutched his arm tightly and snapped, "Jim Landry, this joke isn't funny at all!"Jim furrowed his brows. He turned around and removed Bonnie's fingers one by one and finally flung her arm away. "Miss, I've already said what I wanted to, so please have some respect for yourself."With that, he turned around and strode away.Even when staring at Jim's retreating figure, Bonnie still refused to believe that this was real."Jim!" She bit her lip and ran after him once more.However, because she was too desperate to catch up with him, she did not notice the rock underneath he
