Chapter 1994
“Alright, I’ll do it.”
Jim lifted his head to stare at Bonnie intently and said, “I’ll do as you say, Bonnie. Pack your bags now and get Harvey and Shelly ready.
“I’ll find a place for Charlotte to stay, and she’ll move out of Landry Mansion tomorrow.”
The entire room fell silent.
Everyone stared at Jim in shock.
Charlotte’s eyes were as round as saucers as she stared at Jim incredulously. “Have you gone insane, Jim?”
How could he have agreed to Bonnie’s terms and kicked her out of the house just so he could bring the two rascals home?
She was his fiancée, for God’s sake! How could he do this to her?
“I’d be insane if I chose not to let my children come home with me.” Jim let out a sigh, pulled Charlotte close to him, and said, “Don’t worry, Charlotte. I promise I’ll take care of everything.
With that, he lifted his head to glance at a bewildered Bonnie. “I’ve already agreed to your terms, so you should stick to your word and come with me.”
Bonnie had never expected this would happen.
She had deliberately made this request, knowing that he would never agree to kick his precious Charlotte out onto the streets so that he would give up trying to take the children from her.
After all, nothing mattered more to him than Charlotte, but…
She could not believe that he had agreed so promptly.
“Are you going back on your word, Ms. Craig?” Jim curled his lips into a smirk, seeing that Bonnie still made no move to get up from her chair. “Your family is still one of the biggest family businesses in Banyan City, so surely you aren’t someone who doesn’t stick to her promises, right?”
With that, he sneered and turned around, bringing a scowling Charlotte with him. “I’m going to bring Charlotte home first. There’s a van and two cars with bodyguards waiting outside. I hope you’ll stick to your promise, Bonnie.”
With that, he strode away, dragging a shell-shocked Charlotte with him.
Bonnie stared dazedly at their retreating figures and felt as though an invisible hand was
squeezing her heart, suffocating her.
When the two of them finally disappeared from view, Harvey let out a small sigh and turned to grin at her. “Come on, Bonnie, we’re going home now!”
Bonnie glanced at him, frowning, and said with a hint of reluctance, “I already told you, I don’t want anything to do with him anymore. Why did you insist on…”
Why had Harvey insisted on returning to Landry Mansion only if she were allowed to do the same?
Harvey pouted slightly and reached out to clasp her hand. “Are you going to abandon Shelly and me, Bonnie?
“That woman is terrifying, and Mr. Jim laps up everything she says like a dog. Not only that, but neither Granddad, Granny, or Aunt Luna are home…”
He sniffed and said with a hint of helplessness, “Surely there has to be an adult around to help and protect Shelly and me if we return, right? Otherwise, that woman will kill us at some point!
Bonnie sniffed and was about to say something, but in the end, she changed her mind, stood up, and hugged him instead. “I’m not blaming you; I just…”
Before she could finish her sentence, she sighed and changed the topic. “Let’s go pack our bags, shall we?”
