Jim fell silent upon hearing this.
He knew that Joshua was right. To find the person who tried to kill Bonnie, they had to do more than find
the poison used.
They would have to obey Joshua‘s plan and make it evident that they had sought out Malcolm, then
release him as though nothing had happened. That way, the mastermind behind all this would become
flustered and eventually find a way to get rid of Malcolm to prevent herself from being exposed. With this,
they could use Malcolm as bait to lure the person into the light. At the thought of this, Jim scoffed and
glared at Malcolm. “You got lucky this time!”
Then, he turned and stomped away. After Jim left, Joshua glanced impassively at Malcolm, then ordered
Lucas, “Get the news out there about Malcolm‘s interrogation and make it clear that we released him,
even though he didn‘t offer us any useful information.”
Lucas nodded obediently. “Yes, Sir.”
Joshua turned to smile at Malcolm. “Good luck.”
With that, he left.
Staring at Joshua‘s retreating figure, Malcolm finally managed to put two and two together. By releasing
him, Joshua placed him in a far more dangerous position than before. Even though he did not admit
anything to them during the interrogation, they still let him go anyway! That woman would never believe
this.
She would find a way to get in touch with him to find out what happened. Worst case scenario? She
might even resort to killing him… . Malcolm broke out into cold sweat at the thought of this. He slumped
onto the ground weakly, unable to understand how he had gone from Malcolm Quinn, the heir of Quinn
Group, to such a lowly position in a matter of months.
He had become nothing but a pawn in Joshua and Jim‘s game. This…was even worse than death!
At the hospital.
Bonnie‘s gentle gaze landed on Kate, who was sobbing in a chair next to her bed.” Alright, don‘t cry. It‘s
not your fault they don‘t believe you saving me was just a coincidence. No matter what…”
She curled her lips into a smile. “No matter what, I appreciate what you did. If it weren‘t for you, I
wouldn‘t even be here right now.”
She gazed in the direction in front of her Ah4){ _G{ said with a hint of sorrow, “I haven‘t lived my life to
the fullest yet. I haven‘t gotten the chance to watch Harvey and Shelly grow up, and I haven‘t…”
She had not gotten the chance to spend the rest of her life with Jim.
He had yet to fulfill all his promises to her, so how could she die just like that? “You‘re going to survive
this…” Kate wiped the tears from her red–rimmed eyes and said, “I just never thought that…saving you
by using my family‘s medicine on accident would be interpreted in the wrong way, and everyone else
would think that I‘m a murderer.”
Tears scrolled down her cheeks.
Staring at Kate, Bonnie suddenly did not know how to console her anymore.
She did not know Kate at all, nor was she close with her.
This girl had approached her after she woke up, claiming that she worked for Luke and that she had
saved her…
Bonnie never doubted this at all because Kate had run into Charles and Rosalyn when they came to visit
her, and their reactions proved it all.
Even though Charles and Rosalyn appeared to be displeased at Kate, they never denied the fact that
Kate had saved her.
However, this was Bonnie‘s only knowledge about her brush with death. She knew that no matter
Joshua, Jim, or Rosalyn…
