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
contract without even allowing me to exhaust all my options, I’ll never sign it.” Quentin could not help
chuckling when he heard this. He leaned against the wicker chair in the gazebo and stared at them
contemptuously.
“Well, I hadn’t wanted you to sign the contract right here and right now. If you want to continue
searching, be my guest.” Then, he lowered his head to glance at the expensive watch on his wrist and
added, “However, it’s already two in the afternoon now, and we have to start preparing for dinner at five
later this evening. Surely three hours will be enough time for your men to search Quinn Mansion?”
He lifted his head to glance at Bonnie, a disdainful smirk on his lips.
“Why don’t we meet at 5 in the evening to sign the contract, then?” Bonnie froze.
A split second later, she lifted her head to meet Quentin’s gaze head-on, not seeming at all unsettled
by the dangerous look in his eyes.
“Alright. We’ll do as you say. “
“If we can’t find June and Charlotte by five, I’ll sign the contract with you!”
After all, from the moment he initiated this, she had already made up her mind to put her family fortune
on the line in this bet with Quentin, the only difference at the moment was that he added a time
restraint.
Three hours was more than enough! Quentin burst into laughter when he heard this.
“It’s not your hard-earned money after all, so no wonder you’re so generous about giving it away.
“Well, in that case, I’ll leave you to your devices for now.” He shifted into a more comfortable position
in his chair, closed his eyes, and started rocking.
” I’ll wait here for the next three hours. After I sign the contract obtaining Craig Group’s shares in three
hours, I’ll treat you all to some good wine.”
Luna narrowed her eyes upon hearing this, and she could not help reaching out to hold Bonnie’s hand
in reassurance.
However, as soon as she moved, the paper she held in her hand fell onto the ground.
Luna had not noticed this at all when she was in the dungeon, but since the crumpled paper had fallen
onto the ground, she suddenly realized that it was stained with blood.
Luna froze for a moment, then suddenly recalled the state they had found Laura in and the spine-
tingling scratch wounds all over her hands…
She quickly knelt to pick up the crumpled paper and spread it open. A row of words, written in bright-
red blood, appeared before her eyes.
