Chapter 1919 Charlotte rolled her eyes when she heard this. “Of course we’re doing this for the Landry family. After all, obtaining the title of CEO will allow us to serve the Landry family!”
Luke put down his cup calmly and said, “According to my knowledge, Luna’s title as CEO of Landry Group has always been an empty one and doesn’t really possess much power over the management of the company.
“Mr. Jim Landry has always been the one taking care of the innings and outings of the company.
“If you’re really doing this for the Landry family’s good, why are you so desperate to get your hands on this position that does not possess much power at all?”
Jim narrowed his eyes when he heard this.
Meanwhile, Charlotte’s expression darkened.
She could not let Luke continue this topic anymore!
Charlotte bit her lip, swiveled her eyes, and glanced at Luke, smiling. “I didn’t think you’d be s o interested in the internal management of our company, Mr. Jones. I would’ve thought that someone like you’d only be interested in the power struggles and fights among gangs.”
With that, Charlotte suddenly remembered something and lifted her head to glance at Luke, then at the two women standing behind Luke and Luna.
“I heard that the reason Mr. Jones and Ms. Luna are so close is because of Luna’s ill friend, Gwen Larson, but how come only the two of you came here today? Where’s Ms. Larson?”
As she said this, Charlotte’s gaze swept across the two women wearing caps and face masks, and a cold sneer appeared on her face. “Does Ms. Larson enjoy playing hide-and-seek?”
The two women stiffened when they heard this, and they exchanged quick glances but said not a word.
Seeing that Charlotte had already noticed Gwen and Bonnie, Luna did not hide the truth any longer. “You’re right. Gwen has indeed come with us today, but she doesn’t like talking to deceitful people, nor does she want these people to remember her face, so she chose to disguise herself this way.”
With that, she curled her lips into a smile and added, “Let’s not talk about her anymore. It’d be most unfortunate if she got upset and Mr. Jones failed to cajole her, leading to the Landry family’s demise.”
Jim could not help snickering when he heard this. “Are gangsters going to get involved in our family feud as well now?”

He hated cruel, merciless people like this more than anything, and thus, he could not understand why Luna, his biological sister, would get caught up in a crowd like this.
“It’s not as simple as getting involved.” Luke chuckled, seemingly unfazed by the disdainful tone of Jim’s voice. He shifted into a more comfortable position on the sofa and fixated his cold stare on Jim’s face. “I can even bring the entire Landry family to the ground if I please.”
Jim’s expression darkened upon hearing this.
Next to him, Charlotte narrowed her eyes and quickly grabbed hold of Jim’s arm, trying to soothe his temper and reassure him. As she did so, her gaze landed once more on the two women standing behind Luna and Luke.
If one of them was Gwen…who was the other one?
Considering the fact that this woman was allowed to follow Luna to such an important meeting, this person must be someone close to her.
However, Luna only had a handful of friends in Merchant City. On top of that, this woman resembled…
All of a sudden, a glimmer of realization flashed through Charlotte’s eyes.
If one of them was Gwen, then the other must be Bonnie!
The two women were pale-faced. It was well-known that Gwen was chronically ill, whereas Bonnie, after what happened the night before and that morning, must have still been recovering as well.
Charlotte scrutinized these two women closely once more and grew even more certain that these two women were Gwen and Bonnie in disguise.
Since Gwen was Luke’s girlfriend, naturally, she would be standing right behind Luke.
Bonnie, on the other hand, did not have much in common with Luke and thus, probably was not close to him.
