A few seconds later, Charlotte incredulously stared at Luna and Luke, who both stood before
her.
Just moments ago, in the living room…
After taking Gwen away, the only people left in the room were Luna, Luke, Jim, and…a disguised
Bonnie.
With Luna and Luke standing here, this meant that Jim and Bonnie were left alone!
Charlotte bit her lip and suddenly understood everything; this was one of Luna’s tricks!
Luna must have predicted that she would assume the one standing behind her was Bonnie and that she
would deliberately lure Bonnie out of the room to hurt her, so she let Gwen and Bonnie exchange places
beforehand.
Since Charlotte had accidentally harmed Gwen, not only would she get on Luke’s bad side, but she had
even created an opportunity for Bonnie and Gwen to meet in private!
As soon as she connected the dots, Charlotte gritted her teeth in anger.
One day, she would get rid of that deceitful Luna once and for all!
As soon as she thought of this, Charlotte let out an exhale and turned to glance at Luke. “Mr. Jones, I
didn’t do this to provoke you on purpose… This was all just a misunderstanding. Let’s … Let’s go back to
the living room now, and Jim will straighten this out…”
“What’s wrong? Can’t you settle your own business? Do you need Jim to wipe your ass for you like a
baby?” Seated on a chair, Gwen extended her hand out so the doctor could check her burns as she
glanced coldly at Charlotte’s pale face. “I’m hurt now, and I don’t feel like walking anywhere, so we’ll
straighten this out right here.”
As soon as she heard this, Charlotte grew even more certain that Gwen and Luna had done this on
purpose so that Bonnie and Jim could spend more time in private!
She gritted her teeth, cursing herself for falling right into their trap, and cursing Luna for her deceitful
tricks.
However, no matter how angry she was, she still put on a smile on her face as she said, “Well, since you
don’t feel like moving, Ms. Larson, we shall –”
“You’ll settle this right here,” Gwen interrupted her curtly. “I want to see whether Luke truly loves me
enough to help me settle this, and I want to know what kind of punishment you’re going to get for this.”
Charlotte could no longer hide the fury in her eyes when she heard this.
However, Gwen was not intimidated by this at all. She met Charlotte’s murderous glare coldly
and said, “What’s wrong? You don’t want to admit your fault?”
Charlotte suddenly realized that she was so consumed by her anger that she forgot to regain her
composure.
With that, she forced out a smile and said, “Of course not, Ms. Larson. Since you want to settle this right
here…we’ll do so right here.”
With that, she glanced at the servant standing next to her, quivering in fear, and ordered,” Bring Jim
here.”
No matter what, she could not let Bonnie and Jim stay in the same room for too long.
Even though Roanne had already promised that their plan was foolproof and that Jim would never be
able to remember Bonnie, she was still a little worried.
She could not take this risk.
She had only one chance to return to Jim’s side, and she would not let anything mess this up.
“Yes, Ma’am.” The servant furrowed her brows and was about to leave when Luna stopped her.
Luna sneered at Charlotte. “What’s wrong? Can’t you solve a problem by yourself without Jim’s help?
“I remember that you used to be a very strong, independent woman, weren’t you, Charlotte?
“You were capable of executing this plan of mind-controlling my brother on your own, so why can’t you
even be a few minutes apart from him now?”
Charlotte bit her lip and was about to say something when she suddenly caught sight of a shadow lurking
by the pantry door.
For a split second, the shadow was briefly basked in sunlight through the window, and she saw that it
was Jim.
Therefore, Charlotte swiveled her eyes and let out a fake, helpless sigh. “Luna, I was just worried that
without Jim here, you’d take advantage of me…”
With that, she wiped some imaginary tears off her face and added, “You know fully well that there’s no
one else I fear more in this world than you.”
