Chapter 2171
Bonnie looked out the window and could not bother to even glance at Jim.
“Oh, don’t worry about that.”
She never wanted to tell the truth anyway, and since Jim had said such things, she would never consider bringing up
the past in the conversation. Moreover, even if she told him that she was Number-9, he would just think that she
was playing tricks just to be close to him purposely. That would not be fun.
Very soon, the car reached Quinn Mansion. When Jim and Bonnie arrived, Joshua, Luna, Luke, and Gwen were
already waiting inside the mansion’s lobby.
Noticing Jim and Bonnie’s arrival, Gwen sported a faint smile, her eyes vaguely gleaming with satire. “Has Mr. Jim’s
hand recovered from its burn? Why did you come here?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe remembered that moment when her hand was burnt by Charlotte, and Jim stepped forward on behalf of
Charlotte, placing his hand on the kettle in a silent plea of leniency for Charlotte’s sake.
“Mr. Landry’s humble sacrifice for Charlotte had broadened my mind. I thought that since Mr. Landry has such deep
feelings for Charlotte, you’d follow us to come to look for her.” Jim’s face slowly contorted bitterly. “Ms. Larson,
aren’t we all friends? Why do you have to say such sour things?” Gwen chuckled. “Well, why didn’t Mr. Landry think
of this the last time we met and punished Ms. Jacobs on my behalf?” She accepted the peeled grape from Luke and
ate it. “If you had punished Ms. Jacobs at that time, maybe she wouldn’t be a murderer and fugitive now, don’t you
think so?”
Jim furrowed and said nothing. Gwen looked at him again and giggled teasingly. Then, she looked at Bonnie with a
smile.” Come sit with me.”
Bonnie nodded and walked toward Gwen, sitting next to her.
Gwen, who had never peeled any fruits before, suddenly started peeling an orange for Bonnie. “Here you go.
Someone is blind to see the good in you. Ah, but it’s alright-I’ll cherish you and take you instead!”
As she discreetly glanced at Jim’s bitter expression from the corner of her eyes, Bonnie curled her lips into a smile.
“Thank you.”
From a distance away, Luna observed the look on Gwen AVPKkrdc Bonnie’s faces. She wanted to laugh but dared
not to; Jim was her brother, after all.
Luna repressed the giggle that threatened to escape her lips.
Joshua, sensing Luna’s emotions, pulled her into his chest and buried her face. Luna was momentarily baffled at
what Joshua did, but soon realized that he wanted her to laugh without
anyone seeing
‘So sweet,’ she mused to herself. Feeling Joshua’s cold temperament, Luna thus relaxed as the laugh and smile she
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmfought off before finally revealed themselves to Joshua’s chest.
As he felt the light vibrations from Luna’s body as she laughed, a faint smile appeared on Joshua’s face, too. Then,
he raised his head, his expression shifting to a stern one as he glared at the Quinn family’s butler.
“We’ve been waiting for ten minutes. When are Granny Quinn and Mr. Simms coming?”
“I…” The butler sighed embarrassingly and continued to refill the tea in their tea cup. His eyes sparkled. “I can’t
intervene…what my masters decided to do. Perhaps they need a little while longer-”
“There’s no need for that,” interjected an orotund voice before the butler could finish his sentence. After that,
everyone could see Quentin walking down the stairs glancing coldly at everyone in the lobby. “Two of Merchant
City’s most prestigious businessmen and the gang leader, gathering in the Quinn family’s mansion. What an honor
for you to come to visit us here. May I know how I can help all of you?”
Luke curled up his lips indifferently and threw a stack of photos toward Quentin. “Do you need to ask? We’re here
for her.”
