Chapter 1820

Author: Inked Snow
"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.

Am beginning to be fed up with the twist and turns, though it’s just a story book the anxiety and tension created with new characters are too much , why? We need more money to continue and is it just about our money?

    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

    "Get away from me…" Bonnie bit her lip and stared at the man before her with eyes full of hatred and resentment. "Get away from me, Jim Landry!"I never want to see you again!"Christopher let out a sigh as he stared at the bleeding, struggling woman before him.He could not believe that even in her dazed state, Jim was still the only person on her mind.Christopher tossed the umbrella aside, picked up Bonnie in his arms, and strode into the house.As he did this, Bonnie struggled in his arms. "Let go of me! Let go of me, Jim! Go find your precious fiancée instead!"The more she struggled, the more blood seeped out of her wound.However, it was as though she could not feel the pain.On the other hand, perhaps the hurt that tormented her heart far surpassed any physical pain she could feel.Bonnie clutched Christopher's arm, and after cursing Jim for a while, she started crying helplessly. "Jim, what'll happen to me after you leave me?"I've already planned out our future toge

    "Miss, please leave yourself some respect."Jim was right; she had placed him above herself and poured so much into the relationship that she had ended up getting hurt.Not only had she gotten hurt emotionally, but she even had to go through this excruciating physical pain.The wound on her abdomen was starting to hurt more and more, so much so that she was starting to grow dazed.Christopher was talking to her as he cleaned her wound, but she could not hear any of it at all.The only thing she could hear was, "If it hurts, remember that Jim was the one who inflicted this on you."Bonnie closed her eyes and repeated these words in her mind as tears slid down her cheeks.Christopher was right.Jim was the one who inflicted this pain on her.She would remember this for the rest of her life!…By the time Christopher stitched Bonnie up, she had already passed out from the pain.He let out a sigh, gently picked her up, and brought her upstairs into her room.He gently tucked t

    At that, he looked at Gwen. "Actually…"Steven found himself unable to finish his sentence. After a long while, he shook his head and smiled. "Forget about it.""Steven…" Gwen looked at him, and her tears fell.Her heart was not made of stone. How could she not know Steven's feelings toward her?She was silent for a long while. In the end, she stood up and slowly walked over to Steven with arms opened wide. "Give me a hug."Steven hesitated for a while, but he still stood up.They hugged."Gwen." Steven hugged her thin figure. "I have to meet you earlier in the next life so I can compete fairly with my brother."Gwen nodded with tears streaming down her face. "Okay."They thus hugged once more. Minutes later…"He's gone," said Stefan.Tears kept falling.They hugged for a while longer before pulling apart. Gwen looked at Stefan with her tear-stricken face. He had tears on his face as well.She bit her lips and reached out to wipe his tears. "A—Are these tears…yours or his?

    The next day, Rachel flew from Merchant City to Sharnwick City to diagnose Anne's condition. Theo tagged along as well because he had another identity, Rachel's boyfriend."According to the report, Anne's condition is slowly recuperating." Rachel was relieved after assessing the report. "Although she is very weak, she is going to get better with lots of rest."There is nothing wrong with her vocal cords too. It could be a psychological thing that makes her lose her voice. A knot in her heart that causes it." She looked at Luna, then at John. "Considering all factors, I think that knot is Luna."Rachel continued, "John, I know Luna is the root cause of all these bad things. Being away from Luna, Joshua, and other people is going to guarantee a safer life for you and your family. But have you thought about it from Anne's point of view? Other than you and Sammie, she has her own life and her circle of friends. Never has she blamed Luna for what happened, yet you forced her to leave Lun

    It was almost a miracle for Anne to willingly leave the house just to visit him!Robyn, meanwhile, sobbed at the sight.The nurse who accompanied Anne to the ward was puzzled. What was going on with these people?She snuck her phone out of her pocket and took a photo of this surreptitiously. Then, she sent it into the nurse's group chat with the caption, [What a strange family I met today.]The nurses in the group chat began gossiping about this. One of them tagged a fellow nurse named Daisy and said, [Hey, isn't this the guy who saved the old man you're looking after? What a hero!]Daisy was, at this moment, walking into Andy's room to help him change his wound dressing. She saw the message but was not able to type on her keyboard to respond, so she recorded a voice message instead. "Yes, that's the man. What's wrong with his family? What are you guys talking about?"As soon as she finished her sentence, she lifted her head and finally realized that Andy was not there.Instead,

    Anne stared at John for a long time before forcibly smiling and told him in sign language, "Robyn didn't return after so long, so I got worried and came by to check on her.""Daddy, Aunt Robyn, are you two hugging?" Sammie asked, blinking innocently as she raised her head in curiosity.John and Robyn turned pale at this.It was understandable for such a young child like Sammie to misinterpret them as hugging, but what would Anne think of this?John leaped off the bed and staggered toward Anne. "Anne, it's just a misunderstanding…"However, he was still so weak that his legs could not hold up the full weight of his body at all, and he almost crumpled to the ground.Quick-witted Robyn managed to catch him before he could fall, but this gesture appeared once again rather intimate to both Anne and Sammie. Sammie furrowed her brow and asked rather indignantly, "Are you hugging again? Daddy, how can you hug Aunt Robyn like this when you've never even hugged Mommy and me like this befor

    When the nurse pushed Anne to John's ward, she overheard John and Robyn fighting from the door. The fight was about how John was anxious to return home because he was worried about Anne and Sammie.However, as someone who used to work as a nurse, Robyn knew John should not leave the hospital after being shot by a gun. At least, he needed to stay in the hospital and be observed for 24 hours to make sure that he was fine before leaving the hospital. If an infection happened, John's body would crash easily and he would become weak just like Anne.In the ward, John frowned and talked with a serious tone, "I'm really fine. Get me my clothes so I can go upstairs to thank Miss Andie and go back home immediately. If Anne knows that I'm hurt, she is going to worry. She will easily be suspicious since you haven't gone back home for a long time. What if she worries about me and brings Sammie to the hospital to look for me? Can you bear yourself even just thinking about it? She's weak and Sammie

    Sammie's soft and cute babyish voice melted Stefan's heart immediately. It had been quite some time since he actually put a smile on his face. "Hi, there. What's your name and how old are you?"Sammie tilted her head to look at Stefan's handsome face and smiled sweetly, "I'm Samantha but everyone calls me Sammie."Then she did not forget to introduce Anne to Stefan too. "This is my Mommy. Her name is Anne."At this point, Stefan had given all of his attention to Sammie and did not notice Sammie mentioned that her mother's name was Anne. He pinched Sammie's cheek and said, "Your Mommy is not feeling well. You have to be a good girl and take care of her, do you understand?"Sammie nodded seriously and said, "I will.""Alright, sir. I will bring them to where they want to go," the nurse saw Anne signing to her anxiously. She smiled and said, "Don't worry. I will take good care of them."The promise from the nurse gave an assurance to Stefan that they would be well taken off. He smil

    This was the first time Anne brought Sammie out. Ever since she escaped from death, she became a different person—a recluse and was afraid of the sun. This situation became even worse after she became mute.The last time she left the house was two weeks ago when she had to go for surgery.However, she worried about John. In the morning, Robyn told her John was hurt and needed to stay in the hospital to rest. However, she had a hard time believing what Robyn said.After spending so many years together with John, Anne reckoned she was the one who knew John the most. If it was a minor injury, John would never want to stay in the hospital. He cared too much about her and Sammie, so he never dared to let her worry about him. Therefore, it just did not sound reasonable if John would stay in the hospital because of a small injury.Furthermore, Robyn had not returned home since the morning, which was nearly three hours since she left the house. After much consideration, she decided to call

    Tara fell silent upon hearing this. She bit her lip nervously and shot Gwen a tentative glance. "I didn't mean to offend you, Gwen…" "I know." Gwen let out an exhale and interrupted Tara before she could finish, "I know you meant no harm, but I can't deny that this is something I'm still having trouble wrapping my head around. In the future, neither of you—even you, Luna—should bring this up again." Her love life was such a mess that not even she could unravel the ties, much less expect other people to understand. Tara pursed her lips and did not reply. Luna stared at Gwen in silence for a while before finally saying, "But you have to face this eventually, Gwennie. After all that you've been through with Luke, all of us hope for nothing but the best for the two of you. Even if you avoid it now, you'll have to face the truth eventually. Otherwise, are you planning on spending the rest of your life in this complicated relationship with Luke? Can you bear the thought of not being

    Stefan was mildly amused by the look on her face. He extended his arms out in a gesture of defeat and said, "I never intended on ratting you out to Joshua. You three spoke about these secrets in my presence." With that, he shot Andy a rather helpless look. "Don't you agree, sir?" Andy was surprised to be called out all of a sudden. "Of course!" Although Gwen and Luke had been together for a long time, Luke had never much cared for maintaining good relations with his future father-in-law. He always thought his relationship with Gwen did not concern anyone else outside of the two of them. Combined with the fact that Andy had done some hurtful things to Gwen in the past, Luke grew even more disdainful of his future father-in-law. Because of this, he had never given Andy as much as a second glance throughout their relationship and rarely ever addressed him directly like this. The truth was, Stefan had already called out to Andy once before, during their rescue mission the day befor
