CHAPTER 2306

"You're right; that is Mickey."

Joshua glanced first at Jim, then at the phone.

There was a message from Lucas, received a second ago.

[We've cleared the entire floor, and Mickey has already left the hospital.I'm still following him.]

Joshua narrowed his eyes at the sight of this, then lifted his head to stare at Jim's baffled face.

"Mickey and Butler Fred are trying to drive a wedge between the two of you.”

"To be specific, they're trying to turn you, Luna, and Sean against each other."

Jim's mouth dropped open in shock, but not a single word came out.He stared dazedly at Joshua and

Luna, but the confusion in his eyes only grew deeper.

"What do you mean?"

Why was Mickey eavesdropping on their argument? Why would Joshua say that Mickey and Butler

Fred were trying to drive a wedge between the three of them? Material © .

"Let me explain."

Seeing how perplexed Jim was, Luna let out a sigh and plopped down on the bench, then told him

everything, including her and Joshua's visit to Christopher and their subsequent investigation.

"So you're saying that..."

Jim furrowed his eyebrows and said dubiously, "The butler and Mickey...are deliberately trying to turn

me, Luna, and Sean against each other? They used Christopher's love towards Bonnie and June

against him and forged an email to him from Bonnie, which indirectly led to Christopher going insane? "

Luna nodded in affirmation.

"That's right.Jim, you know for a fact that Christopher would never disobey Mother's orders, but this

time, he still returned home despite Mother calling him and telling him not to.

"This was what tipped Joshua and me off, so we asked Christopher about this and discovered that

someone else has been engineering this scheme!"

Jim narrowed his eyes and stared at Luna in bafflement.

"There's one thing I still don't understand.Mother was the one who diagnosed Bonnie and declared that

she only had seven days left to live.Besides, I had also contacted Christopher in front of her."

He lifted his head to meet her gaze; his dark eyes etched with confusion.

"Why did Mother secretly phone Christopher to ask him not to return to Merchant City after my call with

him?"

He could not wrap his head around this; did Rosalyn not want Bonnie to get well as soon as possible?

Could there be another reason for Rosalyn's actions? Luna froze when she heard this.

She fell silent for a moment, then suddenly realized that she had accidentally let slip something she

should not have.

Telling Jim that someone had forged an email to Christopher from Bonnie would suffice, but out of her

desperation to explain everything as clearly as possible, she had accidentally blurted out the truth

about Rosalyn's interference as well.

"Luna?"

Jim grew even more puzzled when Luna did not answer.

"There has to be another story to this, then.Could it be that..."

The glimmer in his eyes dimmed.

"Could it be that...Mother knew there was no point saving Bonnie anymore, so she didn't want

Christopher to travel all the way here for nothing? Is that why she called Christopher to stop him from

returning?"

He lowered his head GDw$(vML murmured, "I should've known.Bonnie..."

Seeing that Jim was beginning to sink into despair, Joshua furrowed his brows and patted Jim's

shoulder.

"Don't be so pessimistic; I'm sure that wasn't what Rosalyn meant."
