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
Bonnie pressed her hand against the wound on her belly as she glared at Charlotte, her stare filled with anger and hatred. "I have nothing against you…"When Bonnie first arrived in Merchant City, she had chosen to buy Tea Cottage for the quiet environment.Tea Cottage was located in a secluded area, and there was no other building nearby, so no one would pass by this place.Not only that, but she had chosen not to bring any driver or assistants over with her so that she and Jim could have the house to themselves.With her phone already destroyed, Bonnie had no other way of calling for help.That was why Bonnie knew the woman standing before her was indeed trying to kill her."You have nothing against me?" Charlotte sneered.She stared at Bonnie from her great height, watching the blood seep out from between Bonnie's fingers. "Bonnie Craig, you and I go way back."She squatted once more, lifted Bonnie's chin elegantly, and said in a cold and heartless tone, "Let me introduce my
Therefore…This woman had not been lying to her after all.Tears slid silently down Bonnie's cheek.She bit her lip and stared at the woman before her, but she could not utter a single word.What else was she supposed to say?It turned out the passionate, loving relationship she had thought she had was nothing but a joke.Not only was she not Jim's one true love, but it turned out she had been the third wheel all this while.Seeing the glimmer in Bonnie's eyes fade, Charlotte could not help smiling even wider. She stood up and said, "I think you probably know what I'm doing now, even though you had only invited him."Well, Jim was the one who wanted me to come. He wanted me to tell you the truth so that you won't bother him again in the future."With that, she glanced at Bonnie's wet, bloodstained clothes and sighed. "Actually, I'm a kind person, and if I were to come across a sad, injured woman like you, I would've helped you."However, you were the third wheel in my relatio
