Chapter 1918 “I’ll take off the necklace for you right now!”
Charlotte let out an exhale as she reached behind her neck and snapped the necklace right off.
This was worth only nine million dollars, after all, whereas the title of Mrs. Landry, wife to the CEO of Landry Group, was worth way more than that!
After taking off the necklace, Charlotte stomped over to Luna and shoved it into her hand.” Are you satisfied now?”
Luna glanced at the necklace in her hand with a hint of a smile playing on her lips. Then, she lifted her head to stare at Jim with a contemptuous look. “Where’s my jade ring?”
Jim narrowed his eyes as he remained motionless, staring at Luna. He seemed to have plenty t o say, but when faced with Luna’s gaze, he suddenly could not find the words to say anything.
“Jim!” All of a sudden, Charlotte’s voice pulled him back to reality.
Jim lowered his head and came face-to-face with a desperate Charlotte trying to pry the jade ring off his finger.
Jim furrowed his brows, stopped Charlotte, and said in a low, hoarse voice, “Charlotte, I’m not planning to give this to Luna.”
“Why not?” Charlotte frowned and said nervously, as though worried that Luna would change her mind at any moment, “I’ve already given her the necklace, and if you don’t give her the ring as she wants, I would’ve given my necklace out in vain! Besides –”
She bit her lip and added in a low voice, “We’ll use these to trick her into stepping down from the position of CEO first…and as soon as we gain power over the company, we can find a way t o get the necklace and ring back.
“Jim, this is our only choice now, so please don’t hesitate any longer!”
Jim furrowed his brows and felt a twinge of sadness spread through his heart when he saw Charlotte still clutching his ring firmly. “This is the only thing my mother left for me.”
“I know, but she’s been dead for so many years that this old thing isn’t even worth much anymore, whereas the position of Landry Group CEO will create a myriad more opportunities for us!”
Jim narrowed his eyes and finally let go of Charlotte’s hand.
Charlotte finally managed to pry the ring off Jim’s finger, and quickly brought it over to Luna. She stuffed it into Luna’s hand as she pressed Luna back down on the sofa and said, “We’ve already given you the things you want. Now, you should wait here while Jim’s assistant drafts the transferal contract. You should leave after signing it!”
Luna could not help sneering when she saw how impatient Charlotte was, “I can tell that this position means a lot to you, Ms. Charlotte, so much so that it matters more to you than the ring that Mr. Landry’s late mother left for him and the engagement necklace he bought you.”
Charlotte furrowed her brows and glared at Luna. “Of course not! It’s just that we’re more in need of this title at this moment!
“We’re doing this all for the Landry family and Landry Group!”
“Is that so?”
Luke picked up his cup and took a sip from it. “Are you sure you’re doing this to help the Landry family and the company, and not yourselves?”
