After he came out of the laundry room, Jim returned to his study.
He sat in his chair and unfolded the piece of paper Bonnie had given him. Then, he wrote down all the
alleged timings and venues in which he and Bonnie had been and ordered his assistant t o investigate
the validity of these claims.
Jim was just about to throw the paper into the trash can when he caught sight of some writing on the
back.
Bonnie had torn this paper out of a page in her medical records and written on the blank side, whereas
the other side was scribbled with a doctor’s handwriting.
(A laceration was noted on the right side of the abdomen, and the patient claims that she acquired this
injury after falling on the side of the pavement during a rain.
[The laceration is deep, and even though it had previously been sutured, it has gotten infected and is
now collecting pus. It is recommended to do wound dressing every day to keep the wound clean and dry
to prevent reinfection.)
Jim furrowed his brows when he saw this.
A laceration at the right abdomen…
Acquired after falling on the side of the pavement during rain…
All of a sudden, he recalled his encounter with Bonnie at Tea Cottage.
At that time, it was raining heavily, and Bonnie had chased after him when he left, which led t o her
accidentally falling and hitting the ground.
When she fell, she stared at him with a pained expression on her face and failed to get up after that.
However, at that time, Jim was so consumed with his disgust toward her that he did not stopt o think that
she had gotten injured, much less helped her at all.
Jim then recalled the incident more thoroughly.
Could she have hurt herself during that incident?
Jim suddenly recalled the few times he had seen Bonnie clutching her belly as she walked. From the first
time he caught sight of her and Christopher walking by the side of the road, to
his encounter with her in the hospital’s garden, she had been clutching the right side of her abdomen.
This meant that…
Jim furrowed his brows and suddenly felt a light bulb click in his head.
If Bonnie was indeed pregnant, she would not need to hold her belly like that, considering she was not
even showing her bump yet.
Therefore, she had been clutching her belly out of pain all along.
What on earth made him think that she was pregnant?
She was hurt!
“Jim.” All of a sudden, Charlotte, who had finally finished changing, knocked on the door and entered the
room, smiling, “It’s time for us to meet Luna.”
With that, she strode over and continued, “Even though we can’t stick to our original plans and make her
give up on everything…we can still try to talk her out of holding her position of Landry Group CEO.”
After a brief moment of regaining her composure, Charlotte finally readjusted her mindset.
This was just a battle, not the war, so it did not matter if she lost to Luna and Joshua this time.
As long as she helped Jim obtain the position of Landry Group CEO, the company would still fall into
their hands eventually, no matter what happened in the future.
Besides, as long as she and Jim worked together, they would eventually be able to rob Luna of her
shares of Landry Group, so why the rush?
She would take things one step at a time!
Jim furrowed his brows and turned to glance impassively at Charlotte. “You keep trying to convince me to
take Luna’s job from her…are you doing this for me, or yourself?”
Charlotte widened her eyes in shock. “What on earth are you trying to say, Jim? Of course it’s for you!
“I’m not a part of the Landry family, after all, so even if you managed to gain these rights, it won’t benefit
me at all.”
With that, Charlotte bit her lip pitifully and whimpered, “Why are you asking me this all of a sudden…”
