Chapter 2174 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.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwith 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 defending a mother that you’ve never
met?”. Quentin’s every word struck Jim’s most sore nerves. He squinted and clenched his fists tightly. “It’s not up to
you to comment on my relationship with both of my mothers!” The angrier Jim became, the happier Quentin was.
He smiled faintly while taking a sip of his tea. “Two mothers… A normal person only has one mother and will only
recognize one. If you have to choose, who will you choose? Lucy, your birth mother, or Rosalyn, who had raised
you?”
Jim squeezed his brows together. “You!” No one had ever dared to question his birth contemptibly, and no one ever
dared to ask at all! He stalked toward Quentin, his entire being rattled with rage. “Jim!”
Just before Jim got close to Quentin, Bonnie furrowed her brows and stood up to stop Jim, grabbing him by the arm.
“Don’t be reckless.” She placed her body close to his arm and whispered, “We’re here to find Charlotte and June.
Don’t get agitated because of his trick. We won’t be able to accomplish our mission if things don’t go as planned.”
Jim’s eyes narrowed fiercely after what Bonnie said, but his rage suddenly disappeared after she whispered in his
ear. He took a deep breath AXVhJFaU grabbed Bonnie’s hand before turning around to walk back to his seat. His

too tight. Moreover, it would just give Quentin another excuse to divert the topic if he saw her struggling. Thus, she
relented and allowed Jim to pull her to sit beside him.
Irked, Quentin looked at Bonnie. He had finally agitated Jim, but this woman managed to settle him down with just a
few words.
“Mr. Simms, why don’t you cut the crap and stop looking for topics to incite us,” Luke reminded him coldly with a
faint smile. “Now that we’re here, we won’t leave until you give us Charlotte.”
The living room returned to its silence for a few seconds.
At that moment, Jim finally settled down entirely after Quentin agitated him with his remarks about both his
mothers. He looked at Quentin with a frown and felt there was indescribable gloominess from him.
Quentin seemed to know his weakness and controlled his emotions with just a few simple words to incite him.
