Chapter 2183
“Are you worried about us harming her, or are you worried about us discovering the hidden door in her room?
Don’t worry, Mr. Simms, we’ll sort this out after we search the room.” Then, he grabbed Bonnie’s hand once more
and walked away. A group of men dressed in black promptly followed them.
As the warmth of Jim’s palm spread into her own, Borinie stared at the strands of his hair picked up by the wind and
suddenly felt as though she had been transported to a year ago when she first saw him.
At that time, she and Jim were both standing next to the ruins of Blue Bay Villa, which had been destroyed in a fire

The wind had picked up a few strands of his hair, blowing it gently about his face and framing it in a delicate way
that contrasted his sharp, arrogant-looking features. He had turned to look at her, a hint of surprise in his gaze, and
she would never forget that first glance.
She had fallen in love at that first sight. Bonnie had already fallen for him even before the night they slept together.
However, after what she had been through with Jason in the past, she no longer dared to express her true feelings
to anyone, which was why it took her so long to get to him. Who would have thought…that she and Jim would end
up like this a year later?
“Penny for your thoughts?” All of a sudden, a low voice rang out next to her, pulling her back to reality.
Bonnie lifted her head and suddenly realized they had arrived at Granny Quinn’s bedroom door.
At this moment, Jim’s head was tilted toward her, staring at her with a puzzled look on his face.
She knew she could not resist him at all, and so she turned her head away, refusing to meet his gaze. “Well, since
we’re here…let’s go in.” Jim nodded and knocked on the door. A long time passed before the door creaked open.
Inside the room, Granny Quinn sat up in her bed with tremendous difficulty, having to be propped up by her
servants. When she saw that it was Jim who had knocked, she frowned snapped, “What on earth are you doing, Mr.
Landry? Your men already searched my room a while ago, so what are you doing here again? Are you not satisfied
yet? Do you think an old lady like me is capable of hiding a live human in my room?” Jim chuckled. When faced with
Granny Quinn’s sharp questioning, he curled his lips into a smirk and replied, “Well, I think that if there were only

“After all, you’re the respectable head of the family, and no one would dare to enter your room without permission,
am I right?”
Granny Quinn sneered. “That’s nonsense! How can a woman like me, who can’t even stand up on her own, be
respected in this family? If you insist on searching my room, go ahead! After all, I’m not hiding anything anyway!”
Jim narrowed his eyes but did not reply. Bonnie furrowed her brows and raised her hạnd, gesturing to the men
behind her to search the room. However, before they could cross the threshold, Jim stopped them. “There’s no
point doing this all over again. We should trust Joshua and Luke’s men; if there had been any clues, they would’ve
found it already.” He shifted his gaze onto Granny Quinn, who was lying on her bed. “Granny, do you mind getting
up? I want to take a look at your bed.”. The color drained from Granny Quinn’s face. She lifted her head to glare at
Jim. “How dare you!”
