Luke’s brows knitted tightly together. How could a person go missing in the mansion?
At that moment, Lucas came running in and approached Joshua, whispering into his ear, “Sir, we can’t
find June. We searched everywhere, yet we spotted neither Charlotte nor June.”
Joshua squinted his eyes slightly. He was so keen on searching the mansion because not only did he
want to find Charlotte, but he wanted to find June, above all.
He knew what the Quinn family was up to. June was Christopher’s weakness, and if the Quinn family
had control over June, it meant that they could get Christopher to do everything they wanted.
Christopher was, after all, in the process of creating an antidote that could help Jim recover his
memory.
More importantly, Christopher possessed the prescription of the poison created by Rosalyn. It was a
poison that made Jim lose his memories and be subjugated into a state where he could be
brainwashed.
The Quinn family was not only trying to stop Christopher from creating the antidote to save Jim, but
they also wanted to get the prescription from Christopher! If they succeed, Quentin could control
anyone that he wanted. The consequences could be disastrous!
This was why Joshua barged into Quinn Mansion recklessly to find Charlotte and June.
However, not only they could not find Charlotte, but June was nowhere to be found, too. They did find
Laura, but she was rendered a mute. Joshua smiled coldly before instructing, “Keep looking. By hook
or by crook, find them.”
He had a feeling…that June and Charlotte must be locked and hidden away in the same place.
“It’s almost half an hour. Did you find her?” Quentin smiled as he walked out of the dungeon with a
swagger.
“You’ve seen how big the mansion is, and everyone has searched multiple times. Are you a little
dejected?”
He waved the contract in his hand at Bonnie. “Ms. Craig, you better keep your promise.”
Bonnie’s face turned pale at this as she then looked at Joshua, feeling rather helpless. She believed
that nothing could go wrong with Joshua’s investigation.
In spite of that…why did they fail to track down Charlotte when she was not transferred to another
place? Were there secret doors or underground tunnels in the mansion?
Meanwhile, Jim was a little uncomfortable with the way Bonnie looked at Joshua. He knew that there
was only doubt BVTFK;MM helplessness when she looked at Joshua because they were friends,
but…
He felt short of breath when he realized that Bonnie did not think of him first when she was in trouble.
With that, he got up to Bonnie and stopped in front of her, blocking her from looking at Joshua.
Then, pretending like he had not even done this intentionally, he looked at Quentin. “Don’t worry, Mr.
Simms. Bonnie will keep her promise if we can’t find Charlotte. Of course, if we do
find her, I hope you’ll keep your promise and let us take Charlotte.” Jim’s behavior made Luna and
Gwen exchange glances subconsciously. Ambiguity flashed in their eyes. Quentin’s question was
directed at Bonnie, but Jim stood in the way to block Bonnie’s gaze toward Joshua and answered
Quentin on Bonnie’s behalf, too.
The move he made was more or less a declaration of sovereignty on Bonnie. It seemed like on the
surface, Jim-who had lost his memories – did not care and somewhat hated Bonnie, but deep down, he
had an inexplicable possessiveness toward her.
