Hearing Joshua's words, Quentin chuckled. "Didn't the feud between the Landry family and the Lynch family happened all because the Landrys killed Lucy?"He rubbed his chin slowly as he added, "I remember how terrible Lucy looked when she was dead…"A fake sympathetic expression overtook Quentin's face while he sighed. "What a beautiful, smart woman. Too bad…she met her untimely end just because Charles Landry didn't care about her and had neglected her. Tsk, tsk, tsk! I heard a dozen men—""You shut up!" Jim snarled, shooting up from his seat before Quentin finished his sentence. With anger fueling him, Jim reprimanded him fiercely, "I won't allow you to say such a thing about my mother!"However, Jim's enraged expression merely made Quentin chuckle. "Mr. Landry, why are you so angry? I remember that you were only a one-year-old when Lucy passed away. Rosalyn has taken care of you since then and treated you like her son. Aren't you afraid that you might break Rosalyn's heart for de
It was like Quentin knew everything about him…but this was the first time Jim had met him.Jim's expression satisfied Quentin. With his lips curled into a small smile at Jim, he then turned to look at Luke. "What makes you so sure that this woman, Charlotte, is here, Mr. Jones?"Switching to a more comfortable position on the couch and glancing at everyone, Quentin's small smirk surfaced to his face once more. "Let me emphasize once more: we don't have such a luxurious dungeon here, and we can't possibly have such a big bed and recreational facilities. Moreover, the Quinn family has always obeyed the law and didn't shelter that fugitive, Charlotte."He took out a cigar and lit it up elegantly. After one puff, however, he suddenly remembered something and looked at Bonnie. "Ms. Craig, do you mind that I smoke? If you do, I'll put it out."This startled Bonnie.She looked at Quentin, whose lips had curled upward, his eyes staring at her stomach meaningfully. "Do you mind? Do you not
Joshua took a glimpse at the document Quentin passed to him, and his eyes gradually sunk.Meanwhile, Jim's brows were squeezed together.It was at this moment that they truly debated silently if Charlotte truly was kept in the Quinns' mansion, seeing the confident look on Quentin's face.Nonetheless, Joshua and Luke's men had already surrounded and taken control of the mansion, with every movement monitored and investigated within these two days. Their men even did detail checking on the thrash thrown out from the mansion.They had confirmed that Charlotte was still in the mansion and had not been transferred.Even with all this, however, Joshua and Jim grew wary of the situation with how Quentin was behaving.Was it an attempt to cover up, or had Charlotte been secretly transferred to another place?"What do you think? Dare to gamble your luck?"Quentin smiled as he smoked his cigar. With a mellow gaze and pleasant-sounding voice, he spoke, "If you're not in, then I'll have to
"To some of you, Charlotte is just someone who killed Roanne. You want to turn her to law enforcement to lessen the guilt that plagues Theo…"But it's more than that to me."Bonnie looked at Joshua and Luna with a serious expression. "I think both of you understand what I'm trying to say."Luna sighed; of course she knew what Bonnie meant.Charlotte had taken Bonnie's identity many years ago, and she became Jim's lover with that very identity. Worse still, she even tricked Bonnie to conceive Jim's child under Jason's inducement and planned to kill her!Six years later when Charlotte returned to Merchant City, she once again meddled in Bonnie and Jim's relationship, landing both individuals in a bitter situation at present.Bonnie hated Charlotte more than anyone in the living room at that moment.After thinking it through, Luna nodded. "I understand, Bonnie. If this makes you happy, you don't have to care about what others think."Tears glossed over Bonnie's eyes. She sniffed a
Shockingly, the woman sitting in the dungeon was not Charlotte. Although her figure and hairstyle were similar to Charlotte's…she was not her.The scruffy-looking woman turned and gazed at the people standing at a distance before her eyes finally landed on Joshua, her tears started to fall soon after. Her mouth was opened wide, yet not a sound came out of her. It was as if…she could not speak.The way the woman opened her mouth widely had Luna wondering why the woman looked very familiar. After careful observation, Luna's hand flung to her mouth in her shock.This woman… She was…Luna bit her lip and, with a shaky voice, called out, "Are you Laura Suess? Dr. Suess?"The woman nodded her head vigorously while pointing at her mouth to show Luna that she could no longer speak.Luna was even more shocked upon receiving that answer from the woman. She subconsciously looked at Bonnie, who was standing beside her. Similarly, Bonnie's expression was the same as Luna's.Was she Laura Sue
Quentin, instead of answering Luna's question cleanly, turned to gaze at her and Joshua. "Well, you have seen it; this is the dungeon, and there's only one person locked up in here. Is this the luxury dungeon from the photo you talked about?"Joshua squinted and carefully inspected the dungeon. The layout and structure were the same as in the photo…but everything else in the dungeon was moved.It seemed like Quentin had pretended to not know about the mole in the household. Not only did he know about the spy, but he even knew who the mole was and when the photo was taken. He was no doubt a man with a meticulous mind.Joshua looked at Quentin, and coincidentally, Quentin was looking at him too. The difference was Joshua's eyes were cold, while Quentin's eyes seemed to smile."Do you have any questions, Mr. Lynch?"Joshua squinted. "There's definitely nothing wrong with the dungeon."He believed that Quentin could not have transferred Charlotte, even when Quentin had managed to cha
Luke's brows knitted tightly together. How could a person go missing in the mansion?At that moment, Lucas came running in and approached Joshua, whispering into his ear, "Sir, we can't find June. We searched everywhere, yet we spotted neither Charlotte nor June."Joshua squinted his eyes slightly. He was so keen on searching the mansion because not only did he want to find Charlotte, but he wanted to find June, above all.He knew what the Quinn family was up to. June was Christopher's weakness, and if the Quinn family had control over June, it meant that they could get Christopher to do everything they wanted. Christopher was, after all, in the process of creating an antidote that could help Jim recover his memory.More importantly, Christopher possessed the prescription of the poison created by Rosalyn. It was a poison that made Jim lose his memories and be subjugated into a state where he could be brainwashed.The Quinn family was not only trying to stop Christopher from creati
However, Quentin was not swayed at all. "I'm in the middle of a conversation with Ms. Craig, Mr. Landry, and I don't think it's your place to intrude."Then, he fixed his gaze on Bonnie and added, "I was talking to you, Ms. Craig."Bonnie was a little uneasy about Jim's actions.This man had claimed that he did not care about her, but his actions said otherwise. Despite calling her manipulative and deceitful, he insisted on marrying her against her will, and at this moment, he even suddenly appeared to be concerned about the 30% of Craig Group's shares that were on the line.Even though she despised Quentin more, he at least did not try to hide his intentions.She and Jim were not even together anymore!Bonnie paused for a moment, circled past Jim, and strode over to Luna's side. "Mr. Simms, I am a woman of my word, but my people aren't finished searching the house yet."You'd have to let us conduct a thorough search before calling it a day, right? If you force me to sign the co
