Chapter 2224

Jím sat in silence and did not say anything in response. Instead, he clutched Bonnie’s hand tightly in his.

However, the quieter he was, the more outraged Rosalyn became..

She bit her lip and glared at him. “Jim, I don’t know what happened that put you in such a terrible mood.

“Even if she wasn’t pregnant with your child, how can you possibly allow her to chase after you on the
highway like that? Don’t you have any basic respect for her? Weren’t you at all concerned about her
safety? Weren’t you worried that she couldn’t keep up with you and something bad would happen?

“Thank heavens that the airbag in her car managed to save her life. Otherwise, she would be dead by
now!”

Jim lowered his head and gripped Bonnie’s hand tightly.

“I already told her not to chase after me.”

Bonnie had been following him ever since he left Quinn Mansion. Not only did she follow him in her car,
but she even rang his phone.

Initially, he had refused to pick up, but in the end… he could not stop himself from taking her call.

The first thing he said to her was warn her not to continue chasing after him, but she had told him she
would not give up. She wanted him to know that even if everyone in the world turned their backs on him,
she would not give up on him.

If she had said this to him on a regular day, he would have been touched by this, but…

All Jim could think of at this moment was how he had been abandoned by his birth mother.



Bonnie’s words only served as a reminder of this cold, harsh truth.

Therefore, Jim hung up the phone and immediately stepped on the gas. Then, this happened… “So what
if you told her not to chase you?” Rosalyn was furious. “She loves you so much that she’ll never give up
on you! But you’re blinded to this!”

Rosalyn started patting her chest in an attempt to soothe her anger. “Just because she loves you doesn’t
mean you can abuse this! Mickey and the butler have already filled us in on what happened while we
were away in Lincoln City after you lost your memories!

“You’ve crossed the line, Jim. Even if you didn’t remember her no longer had the memories you shared, it
doesn’t justify you treating her like that. You’ve never been that cruel!”

Jim remained silent.

It was Charles who finally spoke.

“A few hours ago, Harvey got in touch with me and told me that Jim has agreed to marry Bonnie. I
guess… Jim isn’t as cruel as we think he is.”

Rosalyn rolled her eyes at this. “If he’s not as cruel as we think, would he have sped on the highway with
Bonnie following him?

“Perhaps Jim was indeed in a horrible mood and was doing this to release his pent-up emotions, and
Bonnie shouldn’t have followed him…but what could have caused this?

“Now that Charlotte has been captured and they’re already searching for the real Number -9, Landry
Group is no longer being targeted by Lynch Group. What could possibly have affected Jim’s mood so
much that he neglected Bonnie’s feelings and safety?



Jim paused for a moment and was about to say something when he caught sight of Charles and
Rosalyn’s expressions.

Perhaps these two still had no idea that Lucy had managed to survive that incident many years ago.

Jim knew better than anyone about the relationship between Charles and Rosalyn.

Rosalyn had sacrificed and given up everything for Charles and the Landry family, but Charles had been
oblivious to this.

If Rosalyn had not ended up in a coma after almost being killed by Heather a year ago, Charles would
not have realized his true feelings toward her.

Rosalyn had always treated Jim like her own, and oftentimes, she treated him better than Heather, who
she thought was her real daughter. No matter what happened, Jim would never forget Rosalyn’s
kindness toward him.

Nonetheless…

Rosalyn’s sacrifice had finally earned herself Charles ‘love.Was he going to tell them the truth about Lucy
at a time like this?

Charles had finally let go of Lucy, and if he were to bring her up at this moment…
