Chapter 1925
Meanwhile, inside the pantry of Landry Mansion, Charlotte crossed her arms at her chest and pointed at
the boiling kettle of water on the stove. “Get that for me. Don’t you know you’re supposed to be making
tea for our guests?”
Gwen, still wearing her cap and mask, furrowed her brows when she heard this.
Despite being a little annoyed at the treatment she was given, she knew fully well that Charlotte was
treating her this way because she had mistaken her for Bonnie.
She wanted to find out what this woman was nning to do to Bonnie!
As soon as she thought of this, Gwen ambled over and slowly extended her arm to pick up the boiling
kettle from the stove.
However, as soon as her hand touched the handle, Charlotte gave her a hard shove in the back, sending
Gwen’s entire body propelling toward the burning hot stovetop.
Unable to stop in time, Gwen grabbed hold of the edge of the stove with one hand while the other
mmed into the hot kettle.
A bloodcurdling scream rang out from inside the pantry, followed by the pungent smell of something

Luke, who had sprinted all the way to the pantry, felt as though his brain had exploded at the sound of
Gwen’s scream.
He stormed into the room like a madman, shoved Charlotte aside, and grabbed hold of Gwen’s hand.
“Are you okay?”
Gwen was in so much pain that she could not speak, and instead, she shook her head nonstop, trying to
signal to Luke that she was fine.
Luke was heartbroken at this sight.
He stared at Gwen’s blistered hand and yelled, “I’ve already told you not toe with Luna today, but
you insisted oning, and not only that, but you insisted on ying this disguise game with Bonnie!
Now look at what happened!
“Not only had Bonnie gotten hurt, but now you have, too!”
Gwen slumped weakly in his arms, her entire face as pale as a ghost, and said with a small
smile, “If it weren’t for me, Bonnie will probably be hurt even more now. Besides, I’m still healthy,
whereas Bonnie…”
Bonnie was pregnant.
If someone had to get hurt, Gwen would rather it be her instead.
For one, she would be helping Bonnie, and not only that, but as long as she got hurt, Luke would have a
reason to get involved in the family feud between Jim and Luna.
If that happened, it would be even more difficult for Charlotte and Jim to get what they want when faced
with Luke’s wrath.
Because of this…Gwen had gotten herself injured on purpose.
After all, at this point, she was just a zombie with no purpose of living anymore, so if hurting herself
meant that Bonnie’s safety would be guaranteed and work in Luna’s favor, she would d o so in a
heartbeat.
“You? Healthy?” Luke was both amused and outraged to hear this. “Don’t you know that you…
However, before he could finish his sentence, he let out a sigh and stopped himself.” Nevermind. Just
promise me that you will never put yourself in such danger again!”
With that, he took out his phone and dialed a number.
A few minutester, dozens of tall, burly bodyguards dressed in ck swarmed into the pantry of Landry
Mansion.
After handing Gwen over to the leader of the guards to take care of, Luke turned around and nced
coldly at a baffled Charlotte. “It seems that you’re indeed trying to y with fire, Ms. Jacobs.”
Charlotte was rendered utterly speechless by the sight before her.
What was going on?
Why was the woman she lured out not Bonnie, but Gwen instead?
Was Gwen not the one standing behind Luke throughout the meeting?
Luna sneered, as though she could see right through Charlotte’s doubt. She shot Charlotte a cold nce
as she helped the doctor clean Gwen’s burn wound. “Who told you that Gwen is the one standing behind
Luke?
“She’s my friend too, so what’s wrong with her standing behind me?” Charlotte’s entire body froze when
she heard this.
