Chapter 1921
Bonnie curled her lips into a smirk as she took off her cap and mask, exposing her beautiful face.
Then, she smiled at Jim, who was utterly shocked by this sudden reveal, and said, “I’m asking you: will you give your mother’s ring to Luna just like that?”
Jim continued to stare, baffled, at the woman standing before him. “Bonnie?”
What was she doing here?
“If you’re Bonnie, then the woman Charlotte brought with her _”
“That’s Gwen.”
As soon as he heard this, Jim furrowed his brows as alarm bells sounded in his head.
He understood fully well why Charlotte had insisted on bringing that woman with her to the pantry.
This was because after being threatened by Luna and provoked by Luke, Charlotte was displeased over this unfair treatment, and thus wanted to take out her anger on the woman who she thought was just a servant.
After all, she could not possibly harm Luna, Luke or even Gwen, so the only option she had was to take out her anger on the most negligible person she could find.
Jim knew exactly what Charlotte was trying to do, but because he himself was distracted by the same anger toward his guests, he did not stop Charlotte and instead allowed her to do as she wanted.
However, never had he thought that…the woman who had left with Charlotte was none other than Gwen!
This was the woman that Luke Jones would risk his life to save, whom he was willing to evacuate an entire bus station just to stop her from leaving.
As soon as he thought of this, Jim became uneasy.
If anything happened to Gwen, Luke would never show them mercy,
He had to stop Charlotte from harming her!
“Come back!”
Seeing that Jim was about to leave, Bonnie bit her lip and reached out to grab him, ignoring the searing pain that shot through her body. “It’s already too late! Do you hate me so much that you can’t even bear to stay in the same room as me?”
Sucking her bottom lip tightly, she continued in a choked voice, “Is Charlotte the only thing you care about now? What about all the sacrifices I made for you over the past year? Are those worthless to you?”
Jim could not help frowning when he heard this.
He turned around and shot Bonnie a cold glare. “I don’t remember you having done anything for me at all, but I remember every last sacrifice Charlotte made for me.”
He remembered everything, whether it was at present, or many years ago when they were still kids.
Even when faced with the attacks of children older and bigger than her, Number-9 still stood u p for him and tried to protect him, like how a hen would protect her chicks.
Even after they had grown up, Charlotte would always put him and his family first, and try to put herself in his shoes before doing anything.
Because of this, Jim would choose to forgive her even if she had made mistakes in the past.
All these memories were etched in his mind, unable to be wiped clean.
FA
Bonnie bit her lip, and despite feeling hurt by Jim’s cruel words, she still gripped his arm tightly and yelled, “That’s because you lost your memories!
“Jim Landry, I guarantee that if you regain memories of being with me over the past year, you’ll never dare to say such hurtful things to me again!”
CRO
Jim sneered as he flung Bonnie’s hand away. “I can’t help thinking that if something were truly important to me, I would never have forgotten it in the first place.
“Just like my beloved Charlotte. No matter what happened, I never forgot about her at all. As for you…”
He curled his lips into a smirk and said contemptuously, “Since I had forgotten you so easily, i t must mean that someone like you doesn’t matter even a little bit to me at all.”
With that, he opened the door and strode out of the room.
Bonnie let out an exhale, feeling as though Jim’s words were like invisible slaps on her face.
She knew that saying all these things to Jim would never change his mind and that she was just asking to be humiliated.
