NovelEnglishChapter 1916 Jim had never spoken about her, Bonnie so endearingly as he had addressed Charlotte.
There had even been a few times when Bonnie had wanted him to call her by a pet name like’ darling’
or ‘honey’ in private, but he would always refuse, much less put his arm around her and address her so
adoringly in public.
In the past, Jim would always insist that since Bonnie was the heiress to the Craig fortune and he was
the heir to the Landry fortune, the public would go crazy if news of their relationship were leaked
If that happened, it would cause such unrest that they would not be able to enjoy their time together
without being followed all the time anymore.
Therefore, to prevent this from happening, their relationship had been a secret one, hidden
Bonnie used to think that Jim was naturally a cautious person like this, and thus, she had never

At this moment, alas, she finally understood that she had been wrong.
Jim loved showing off his relationship with Charlotte to the public.
The reason he had refused to take his and Bonnie’s relationship public…was simply that he did not
love her enough to do so.
“Luna, if you have no other request, I’ll let my assistant prepare a contract now,” said Jim curtly when
he noticed that Luna was not saying anything else.
Luna furrowed her brows and was about to say something more when her gaze fell on the ring on Jim’s
finger.
If she remembered correctly..
One half of this ring pair was lying in a suitcase in Joshua’s bedroom at that moment, whereas the
other half was sitting on Jim’s finger.
Malcolm’s father, Samuel, had told her before that putting the two rings together would crack the code
of Lucy Hamilton’s death.
As soon as she thought of this, Luna let out an exhale and lifted her hand to point at Jim’s arm, which
was resting on Charlotte’s shoulder. “There’s something else I want to add.”
Following Luna’s finger, Charlotte lowered her head and suddenly realized that Luna was pointing at
her necklace!
She immediately covered her necklace with her hand and bit her lip. “Don’t you dare take my necklace
from me, Luna. Jim had spent nine million dollars on this for me! I’m never giving
this necklace to—”
Before she could even finish, Luna sneered and interrupted her, “What I want is the jade ring o n Mr.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLandry’s right thumb.”
With that, she glanced coldly at Charlotte and added, “However, now that you’ve mentioned your
necklace… I want to add this to my list of demands as well, so as not to waste your effort.”
She turned to glance at Jim. “I want to add two more items to my list: the nine-million-dollar necklace,
and the jade ring on your hand.
“I want a bankrupt jewelry design company, a jade ring, and a nine-million-dollar necklace in exchange
for the position of Landry Group CEO. Nothing less.”
Jim narrowed his eyes and stared at Luna with a frosty look. “Don’t you think you’re biting off more than
you can chew, Luna?
“Apart from the jewelry design company, the two items you want are my engagement gift to Charlotte
and the last piece of item my late mother left for me.
“These two items mean a lot to me, so I can’t give them to you.”
Luna curled her lips into a smirk and shifted into a more comfortable position on the sofa.” I’ve already
said, I want three items and nothing less. Unless you don’t want to become CEO of Landry Group, Mr.
Landry, then I suggest you think this over carefully. Don’t worry; I’m not in a rush.”
