Chapter 1744
“Yes, she did.” Jim shot Luna another meaningful look. “She’s been through a lot in her life, and I pity her for that.”
Luna’s heart lurched when she heard the endearing tone in Jim’s voice.
It seemed that Jim truly loved Shelly’s mother.
Both Charles and Rosalyn had told her that Jim was a simple-minded and loyal man when it came to relationships, but Luna disagreed.
Charlotte, Harvey’s birth mother, Shelly’s birth mother, and finally Bonnie…
She had already known of four women Jim had been involved with, so how could anyone say he was loyal in his relationships?
Luna bit her lip and asked in a low voice, “Do you like Bonnie or Shelly’s mother more?”
Jim chuckled. “Of course I like…”
Before he could finish his sentence, he stopped in his tracks and turned to glance at Luna.
The expression on her face made his heart leap into his throat.
He suddenly realized that Luna seemed to have misunderstood, but he could not possibly tell her the truth for the time being, so he let out an awkward laugh. “Um…”
Jim let out a cough and tried to change the subject. “I just heard from the company that Mr. Hanson has agreed to do business with us.” 3
With that, he turned to glance at Luna. “But according to what Joshua told me, you had offended Mr. Hanson last night.
“What happened last night? Why would you attend a party like that, and how did you get drugged? Who was the one who sent you on such a dangerous mission?”
Jim’s questions came so quickly that Luna did not know how to answer them.
Luna pursed her lips and had no choice but to bear the responsibility. “I was the one who planned this myself…”
Jim did not believe her at all. “You planned this yourself?
“You were the one who bribed Harold? You were the one who wanted to attend an orgy, for God knows why?
“You were the one who volunteered to drink the wine, knowing it was spiked?”
Luna’s expression darkened.
Joshua had asked her all this just a few minutes ago, and she had no idea of all this at all.
However…
In order not to expose Charlotte’s involvement, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and admit it. “Yes, it was all part of my plan.”
“Your eyes have betrayed you.”
Even though Jim had just gotten to know Luna for less than a year, he could still tell she was lying.
Luna always thought she was a good liar, but every time she lied to him, he would be able to see right through her.
“Someone else had planned this for you; someone is helping you with all this.” He narrowed his eyes. “Who is it?”
Luna took a step back, and just as she was about to say something in reply, Theo sprinted over to their side.
He stopped in front of Luna, panting, and said, “Who were you calling just now? Do you know you missed Gwen’s call for help?”
Luna felt as though something had exploded in her brain.
Gwen’s call for help?
“What’s wrong with Gwen?”
Theo patted his chest and said worriedly, “Luke has imprisoned her.
“Luke..spent the entire night with her…and now, she’s bleeding nonstop, but the guards looking after her said that without Luke’s orders, they can’t release her…”
