Chapter 2195


    Bonnie could not help thinking that the knife Charlotte had used had not been clean, so she would not


    stop worrying until a doctor checked Jim’s wound.


    Jim furrowed his brows but did not reply and instead allowed Bonnie and Gwen to take him out of the


    room.


    After the three of them left, Luke nced coldly at a pale-faced Quentin and said, “Mr. Simms, they’ve


    already given you the evidence you wanted.


    “Even Charlotte herself admitted her true identity, and she even attempted to harm someone once


    again.


    “With all this in mind, you must agree that Bonnie has won the bet, hasn’t she?” Quentin narrowed his


    eyes upon hearing this.


    A glimmer of hatred shed through his eyes as he nced at Charlotte, who was being restrained by


    the guards. He should not have taken pity on her! He had known since the start that this daughter of his


    was utterly useless, yet he still took pity on her and tried to help her!


    Not only had he failed to protect her, but their rtionship was exposed, too!


    Quentin’s stare was so cold and prating that Charlotte could not help lifting her head when she felt


    his gaze.


    Their eyes met as she lifted her head, frowning, and nced in his direction.


    She curled her lips into a smirk and said, “Didn’t you say you’d protect me, Father? Didn’t you promise


    that you’d protect me at any cost?”


    She burst intoughter and continued, “Well, you have no choice but to fulfill your end of the promise,


    Quentin. Otherwise…there’s no telling what I’d say to Joshua if I get taken away.”


    It was clear that she was trying to threaten Quentin.


    A glimmer of malice crossed Quentin’s gaze.

    He had saved her out of kindness, but not only had she exposed their rtionship in front of everyone,


    but she was also threatening him!He should have known!He should have known that this wretched


    daughter of his, who had grown up in an orphanage, would one day turn out to be a crazy bitch like her


    mother!


    He should not have taken her in during that moment of weakness!


    However, it was toote to linger on the past now. The only thing he could do was try his best to protect


    Charlotte as she said.


    At the thought of this, Quentin narrowed his eyes  turned to stare at Joshua.


    “Mr. Lynch, what are your terms if I were to take Charlotte back from you?” Joshua sneered.


    “You’re a resilient man, Mr. Simms. In just a span of a few minutes, you had changed into an entirely


    different person altogether.”


    The color drained from Quentin’s face. He knew that Joshua was talking about how arrogant and


    haughty he had behaved when trying to persuade Jim and Bonnie to sign the contract. He let out an


    awkward chuckle and said, “Well, desperate times call for desperate measures…”


    All of a sudden, he turned to nce at the servant standing behind him, as though he had recalled


    something, and ordered, “Quick! Go get Ms. Riley!”


    The servant did as he said and soon reappeared with a baby in her arms. Riley was already two


    months old now, and she had a pair of wide, beautiful eyes. She did not seem to understand what was


    happening and instead peered around curiously at the people around her with no sign of fear.


    Quentin took the baby into his arms and said, “Mr. Lynch, you probably know who this baby is, right?


    It’s the same baby Malcolm sent Hunter to steal from Luna!”


    Luna’s chest tightened when she heard this, and she quickly nced at the baby in Quentin’s arms.


    This… This beautiful, bright-eyed infant… Was this her and Joshua’s second daughter?
