CHAPTER 2538

Kate furrowed her brow when she heard what Jim said and looked at Jim coldly.” Mr. Landry, I think you

know very well why the specialist team is here. Are you going to be responsible for delaying the

surgery and Gwen‘s condition?” “Ten minutes won‘t affect anything,” Jim looked at his watch. “If you get

in the car and talk to me, we can settle it within ten minutes. If you don‘t...” Jim curled up his lip and

smiled. “If the surgery is delayed and affects Gwen‘s condition, you‘ll bear half of the blame, too.”

He then took out his phone and talked to the assistant at the airport. “Ms. Miller doesn‘t look like she‘s

going to cooperate. Why don‘t you let the specialist team stay a bit longer to have some coffee?

There‘s no need to rush.”

Kate‘s expression faltered instantly upon realizing how serious Jim was. If she refused to cooperate, he

would make use of his promise and stop the specialist team from leaving the terminal. If this delayed

the surgery tomorrow... Kate did not dare to imagine what kind of consequences there would be!

Thus, Kate took a deep breath and took a step back unconsciously while taking out her phone. She

wanted to call Luke and have Luke handle this situation for her. She rather delayed the time by waiting

for Luke than talking to Jim. Needless to say, she was afraid. She knew Joshua and Jim had gone to

look for Malcolm, and they neither killed Malcolm nor threw him out of Merchant City after they found

him. They even let Malcolm off.

That was not all. They even sent a car to send Malcolm back to Thomas‘ place. When Malcolm got out

of the car, the driver even addressed Malcolm as Mr. Howard respectfully.

Kate knew all of these through her informer. In fact, she had been worried Joshua and Jim might obtain

some information they were not supposed to know. She was afraid Luke would find out everything that

she did. She was even more afraid Joshua and Jim would affect her plan! Thus, she no longer wanted

to wait and gave the information about Joshua and Yannie‘s supposed ‘affair‘ to Thomas to createOriginal content from .

chaos, all to urge Luke to move the plan forward. Everything had gone according to plan until Jim

showed up in front of her, Eerd^. {J she did not want to spend a single second with Jim. She was afraid

that he would expose her true identity to Luke, and worse still, she nearly killed Bonnie to worsen

Gwen‘s condition!

She knew how much Jim loved Bonnie and feared he would kill her to exact revenge...

“There‘s no signal.” When Kate took out the phone and tried to make the call, Jim shifted into a more

comfortable position as he gazed at her. “Since I dare to come to meet you at the airport, I‘ll let you

have the chance to contact Luke.”

Before Jim finished his sentence, there was a message from the network operator that the call could

not get through. Kate looked at Jim in fury. “Even if we‘re not on good terms right now, can‘t we do this

later? I—”

“I told you, ten minutes is all it takes.” Jim‘s gaze hardened as he stared at Kate keenly.
