Chapter 2312
Jim, on the other end of the call, rolled his eyes.
"Don''t be so arrogant, will you, Joshua? Do you think you''ll be able to get rid of me just because you
say so? How little do you think of me?"
Joshua curled his lips into a smile at the look on Jim''s face.
"If you don''t believe me, we can try."
With that, he turned to nce at Luna.
"What do you say, Luna?"
Luna pursed her lips, let go of his hand, and sat next to him.
The expression on her face was a little dark as she muttered, "I''m not in the mood for jokes right now."
Seeing that she was acting a little strange, and there was a faint quiver in her voice, Joshua
immediately furrowed his brows in concern.
"What''s wrong?"
Luna bit her lip and closed her eyes.
The first image that appeared in her mind''s eye was Butler Fred''s kind, smiling face, as well as the way
he looked when he told her he would help her get rid of Sean and Jim.
She remembered the respectful tone of his voice whenever he spoke to her, but at this moment, the
memories of these were gradually reced by the sinister undertone of his ims of loyalty.
Luna was finding this a little difficult to ept.
After all...she had always thought Butler Fred was a kindhearted and responsible butler.
Never in her wildest dreams had she imagined that he would have such sinister motives.
When did he even start thinking about helping her get rid of Jim? When did he start nning his
borate scheme? Luna''s mind was a jumble of thoughts as she rubbed her temples in frustration.
"Perhaps she''s finding it a little hard to ept, considering that the real Butler Fred is not at all who we
think he is."
Even Jim tucked his joking attitude away when he saw the devastation on Luna''s face.
He lit a cigarette, took a puff from it, then said with a bitter smile, ''''To be honest, I feel exactly the same
way you do, Luna.I had never thought this would happen, either."
After all, Jim had grown up alongside Butler Fred, and he had always been grateful for how kindly
Butler Fred had treated him.
So much so that sometimes, Jim could not help thinking that Butler Fred was one of the only people in
the world who treated him well, apart from Charles DCv# JINK Rosalyn.
Butler Fred was like family to him, and he extended the same wee to Mickey as well.
When the drug warehouse behind Landry Mansion was first built, Rosalyn had wanted Jim to keep the
second pair of keys.
However, because Mickey was Rosalyn''s apprentice and Butler Fred''s son, Jim had always treated him
like a brother and thus decided it would be more appropriate to ce the keys under his possession.
Looking back on this...he wanted nothing more than to p himself.
Every memory of Butler Fred and Mickey felt like a hammer pounding against his heart.
Joshua sighed and pulled Luna into hisforting arms.
"Don''t be too upset."
Luna bit her lip and lifted her head to stare at Joshua.
That morning, she had used Joshua of mistrusting Sean without evidence and even brought up how
much it hurt to be betrayed by someone close to your heart.
However, just a few hourster, she was again pped by the same feeling of betrayal.

No matter how many times it happened, it did not make it easier.
Seeing the look of despair in Luna''s eyes, Joshua sighed and pulled her close to him, then lifted his
head to nce at the image of Jim on the screen.
"Sean has already settled into Luke''s ce, but for the next few days, you and Luna will have to
continue putting up an act.The messier the fight, the better.It''d be even more perfect if you could
somehow bring this argument to Charles and Rosalyn''s notice."
Jim furrowed his brows upon hearing this.
"Should I notify my parents and ask them to y along with our act?"
"No need."
Joshua narrowed his eyes.
