Chapter 1916


    Jim had never spoken about her, Bonnie so endearingly as he had addressed Charlotte.


    There had even been a few times when Bonnie had wanted him to call her by a pet name like’ darling’ or


    ‘honey’ in private, but he would always refuse, much less put his arm around her and address her so


    adoringly in public.


    In the past, Jim would always insist that since Bonnie was the heiress to the Craig fortune and he was


    the heir to the Landry fortune, the public would go crazy if news of their rtionship were leaked


    If that happened, it would cause such unrest that they would not be able to enjoy their time together


    without being followed all the time anymore.


    Therefore, to prevent this from happening, their rtionship had been a secret one, hidden


    Bonnie used to think that Jim was naturally a cautious person like this, and thus, she had never doubted


    Jim’s motives or gotten upset at him for such requests.


    At this moment, s, she finally understood that she had been wrong.


    Jim loved showing off his rtionship with Charlotte to the public.


    The reason he had refused to take his and Bonnie’s rtionship public…was simply that he did not love


    her enough to do so.


    “Luna, if you have no other request, I’ll let my assistant prepare a contract now,” said Jim curtly when he


    noticed that Luna was not saying anything else.


    Luna furrowed her brows and was about to say something more when her gaze fell on the ring on Jim’s


    finger.


    If she remembered correctly..


    One half of this ring pair was lying in a suitcase in Joshua’s bedroom at that moment, whereas the other


    half was sitting on Jim’s finger.


    Malcolm’s father, Samuel, had told her before that putting the two rings together would crack the code of


    Lucy Hamilton’s death.


    As soon as she thought of this, Luna let out an exhale and lifted her hand to point at Jim’s arm, which


    was resting on Charlotte’s shoulder. “There’s something else I want to add.”


    Following Luna’s finger, Charlotte lowered her head and suddenly realized that Luna was pointing at her


    ne!


    She immediately covered her ne with her hand and bit her lip. “Don’t you dare take my ne


    from me, Luna. Jim had spent nine million dors on this for me! I’m never giving


    this ne to—”


    Before she could even finish, Luna sneered and interrupted her, “What I want is the jade ring o n Mr.


    Landry’s right thumb.”


    With that, she nced coldly at Charlotte and added, “However, now that you’ve mentioned your


    ne… I want to add this to my list of demands as well, so as not to waste your effort.”


    She turned to nce at Jim. “I want to add two more items to my list: the nine-million-dor ne,


    and the jade ring on your hand.


    “I want a bankrupt jewelry designpany, a jade ring, and a nine-million-dor ne in exchange


    for the position of Landry Group CEO. Nothing less.”


    Jim narrowed his eyes and stared at Luna with a frosty look. “Don’t you think you’re biting off more than


    you can chew, Luna?


    “Apart from the jewelry designpany, the two items you want are my engagement gift to Charlotte and


    thest piece of item myte mother left for me.


    “These two items mean a lot to me, so I can’t give them to you.”


    Luna curled her lips into a smirk and shifted into a morefortable position on the sofa.” I’ve already


    said, I want three items and nothing less. Unless you don’t want to be CEO of Landry Group, Mr.


    Landry, then I suggest you think this over carefully. Don’t worry; I’m not in a rush.”This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.
