CHAPTER 2176

Joshua took a glimpse at the document Quentin passed to him, and his eyes gradually sunk

Meanwhile, Jim’s brows were squeezed together.

It was at this moment that they truly debated silently if Charlotte truly was kept in the Quinns’ mansion,

seeing the confident look on Quentin’s face.

Nonetheless, Joshua and Luke’s men had already surrounded and taken control of the mansion, with

every movement monitored and investigated within these two days.

Their men even did detail checking on the thrash thrown out from the mansion. They had confirmed

that Charlotte was still in the mansion and had not been transferred.

Even with all this, however, Joshua and Jim grew wary of the situation with how Quentin was behaving

Was it an attempt to cover up, or had Charlotte been secretly transferred to another place?

“What do you think? Dare to gamble your luck?” Quentin smiled as he smoked his cigar. With a mellow

gaze and pleasant-sounding voice, he spoke, “If you’re not in, then I’ll have to ask everyone to leave.

Butler, escort our guests out of the mansion.”

The butler quickly came forward. “Ladies, gentlemen, this way please.”

Jim squinted at Quentin with deep discerning eyes. True enough, he did not have the guts to gamble

with such stakes. Although he believed in the investigation result from Joshua and Luke…gambling 10-

percent of shares from Landry Group and Lynch Group each was just too risky.

That percentage was worth a lot of money, and the Quinn family might just have the upper hand with

that money over the Landry family and the Lynch family. It could also cause them catastrophic

consequences!

This specifically applied to the Landry family, since their family had been suffering due to the aftermath

of Heather and Malcolm’s actions.

They had just regained their footing, so if Jim lost the bet and had to give the Quinn family 10 percent

of Landry Group’s shares, their family would teeter on the verge of bankruptcy again! Most

Group and Lynch Group.

Once they gave the 10-percent worth of shares, many people would lose their jobs-jobs that could put

food on their table, no less! As presidents of their respective groups, Jim and Joshua had to think about

their employees future.

Having that thought in mind, Jim took a look at Joshua and then at Quentin, who was smirking. “You

can’t hide her in the dungeon forever. One day, she’ll be exposed. Until then, I hope that you won’t

forget your behavior today.”.

He stood up to leave while pulling Bonnie with him. Toshua, on the other hand, frowned and made no

move to stand up while Luke grabbed Gwen’s hand, not wanting to cave in so easily. When the

atmosphere came to a standstill, Bonnie came forward.

“Since Mr. Landry and Mr. Lynch aren’t willing to risk their company shares for the bet…let me do it.”

She let go of Jim’s arm and looked into Quentin’s eyes with a smile. Her eyes were sharp and

determined.

“While Craig Group is neither as good as Landry Group and Lynch Group, since Mr. Landry and Mr.

Lynch aren’t willing to gamble with you, why don’t you accept my offer instead?” Her lips curled up into

an elegant smile while standing between Jim and Quentin.

“I’m willing to use thirty percent of Craig Group’s share to bet with you,” she declared, though with an

indifferent air to her.

“If we find Charlotte in this mansion, then I want nothing in return other than you handing her over to

us…and also return June, whom Laura brought here, to me. If Charlotte is nowhere to be found, then

I’ll transfer the thirty-percent shares to you. What do you say?”

The atmosphere in the living room plunged into silence once more due to Bonnie’s action. She dared to

bet 30-percent of Craig Group’s shares! Should they fail and Quentin obtained the 30-percent shares, it

meant that not only would Quentin receive money from Craig Group, but he would also become Craig

Group’s largest shareholder!

Then, it would be just a matter of time for him to acquire Craig Group with whatever tricks he could

conjure!

The thought of it made Luna sick, her brows furrowing in worry.

“Bonnie, calm down.”

“I am calm.”

Bonnie smiled and walked in front of Jim, seemingly shielding him in the process.
