Chapter 2045

It was precisely because of this that Charlotte had managed to get on his nerves little by little and
ultimately cross the line.

Not only had she lied to him about Shelly’s identity, but she had even attempted to kill Shelly and poison
him.

Even though he did not know what drug Charlotte had placed in his food, he still chose to eat

If it turned out to be fatal poison, then so be it. He deserved to die.

This was what he deserved!

He closed his eyes as he swallowed his food, his entire heart filled with pain and despair. He could not
believe how easy it had been for everything to come down in ruins around him.

The girl he had fallen in love with and would give his life to protect turned out to be a crook.

It was all his fault.

However, to Jim’s surprise, the drug that Charlotte had put in his food was not poison at all, nor had it
been a sedative to put him to sleep.

Its only effect was that it made his entire body grow hot.

This heat seemed to come from the bottom of his heart, and because it was the middle of summer, Jim
could not tolerate being inside the house any longer.

He left the house and decided to go into the garden for a stroll.

Suddenly, the little house next to the mansion lit up, accompanied by the voices of a man and a woman.



Jim recognized these voices as Bonnie and Sean’s, and the two of them seemed to be looking for
something

Jim furrowed his brows and strode towards the house out of impulse.

There was a car parked in front of it, but no one was in the garden.

Peering in from outside the window, Jim could faintly make out Bonnie and Sean’s shadows moving
inside the house; they seemed to be packing their belongings.

Bonnie was telling Sean which of the items had to be packed, and which did not. Sean, on the other
hand, nodded with a smile. “Alright.

“Alright.

“Okay, we’ll do as you say.”

The two of them moved in such synchrony that it was as though they were a newlywed couple.

Standing in the middle of the yard, a surge of frustration seeped into Jim’s heart as he watched the
shadows move.

Why had Bonnie returned to pack her bags after Shelly was kidnapped? Was she planning to escape?

Besides, even if she planned to run away, why did she have to bring Sean with her?

How long had they known each other? What were they doing alone in a room together?

He could not believe Bonnie’s audacity; how dare she go out with a man so late at night? How
shameless was she?



Jim knew that at that moment, he should have turned around and left without a second glance, but for
some reason, his legs remained firmly planted on the ground.

He furrowed his brows and continued watching as he suppressed the unease in his heart.

After God knew how long, Sean and Bonnie finally finished packing their things.

Bonnie let out a sigh of relief and said as she followed Sean out the door, each carrying a handful of
things, “I thought I’d be staying here longer.”

She never thought that she would be able to leave this insufferable place after just one day.

Sean smiled at her in return. “You seem to despise this place? Do you hate Jim that much?”

Bonnie shrugged. “I like the old him, but the current one…”

She paused for a moment before finally saying, “I can’t stand him now.”

With that, she could not help adding, “I can’t stomach him, not even a bit.” “Is that so?” a man’s cold
voice rang out as soon as she finished her sentence.
