Luna stared dazedly at the determined look on Jim's face. "Jim."
She sniffed and said solemnly, "You claim that you won't believe anything I say without evidence, but did you do the same when questioning Bonnie in the past?"
She was curious to know the answer.
Jim's expression darkened upon hearing this.
Anger flashed through his eyes as he stared at Luna. "Why are you bringing up Bonnie all of a sudden? Are you just trying to distract me from the fact that you don't have any evidence against Sean? I never thought you'd stoop so low, Luna!"
His steely gaze was fixated on Luna's face as he grew angrier. "There's no way to explain everything between Bonnie and me to an outsider! Besides, if you care so much about Bonnie, you shouldn't even be doubting Sean at all; he's the one who saved her life before!
"You claim that Sean is manipulating us, but let me ask you this: do you think he was trying to manipulate the situation to his benefit by saving Bonnie in her time of need? Was he trying to control us by saving Bonnie and me countless times?
"It's one thing to be ungrateful, but another thing entirely to-"
However, before he could even finish his sentence, the sound of an iron grille door being slammed shut echoed out of the stairwell.
This sudden noise interrupted Jim midsentence, forcing the words back into his throat.
Jim gulped and turned to stare at Luna. He was about to say something when a man dressed in black sauntered out of the stairwell.
Joshua could not help chuckling when he heard the exhaustion in Luna's voice, then pinched her nose playfully. "I heard everything. You did an amazing job, especially when you deliberately brought up Bonnie
However, since she had the golden opportunity to reprimand him for this, she had to seize it while she could.
"You..." Jim furrowed his brows in confusion as he stared at the couple before him. "Are you playing a trick on me?" Why did Joshua send Luna to argue with him on purpose? Why did he even compliment her on it?
Did he somehow become a source of entertainment for his sister and brother-in-law?
"Of course not." Joshua let go of Luna, strode over to Jim, and showed him to video on his phone. "Someone has been watching you and waiting for you and Luna to turn against each other."
Jim took the phone from him in puzzlement and stared at the man on the screen, who had been eavesdropping on his argument with Luna in the stairwell. "Is this...Mickey?"
