As soon as she finished her sentence, Luna disappeared from view, carted away by Jim out the door.
Bonnie leaned against the wall in pain. She bit her lip and watched them leave, an indescribable feeling of hurt in her heart.
What did she expect? After all, Jim was a part of the Landry family, the family renowned for their cruelty and heartlessness.
How could he possibly have fallen for an ordinary girl like her?
If he were to fall for someone, it would be a woman like Luna instead.
Bonnie had been so brainwashed by Harvey that she truly thought she and Jim had something going on between them.
After a moment, she took in a deep breath, took out her phone, and dialed Joshua’s number.
The call was soon picked up.
Bonnie let out an exhale and said, "Joshua, Jim had barged into Tea Cottage and took Luna away."
Joshua immediately furrowed his brows and said in a cold voice, "Who...did you say took Luna away?"
"Jim Landry, the master of the Landry family.” Bonnie gazed in the direction Jim had left and tried to stop her tears from falling. "I hadn't noticed that Jim liked Luna as well...so when he appeared tonight, neither I nor my bodyguards and servants had seen it coming.
"He kicked open Luna's door and took her away, carrying her on his shoulder. They left in the direction of the city center. I...I can't help you anymore."
With that, she hung up the phone.
Her phone slid out of her hand and landed on the rug.
Bonnie clutched her face, unable to stop her tears from falling.
She should have known...
Nothing good would ever happen to a failure like her.
Jim let out an exhale and tried to suppress the rage in his heart. "I’ve already told you; she’s not a stranger. She’s your birth mother!"
"Is my birth mother the person who had invented the poison that almost killed my daughter and murdered Granny Lynch?" said Luna impassively as she stared a t Jim’s face. "Oh, by the way, if I remember correctly, the drug that caused my son Neil to lose his memories was also a product of Mrs. Lynch's, isn’t it?
"How dare you claim that a person like this is my
birth mother?"
Jim narrowed his eyes and replied, "Mother only produced the drugs. As for whomever Aura gave them to, she had no control or say over any of that!"
“Then why did she give the drugs to Aura?"
"That's because she thought Aura was her daughter."
"Then..." Luna curled her lips into a smirk and cocked her head, staring at Jim. "Didn't the Landry family perform a DNA test when you were searching for your long-lost family member? How careless."
