Chapter 2184
Granny Quinn’s attitude had indirectly confirmed Jim’s suspicions, and he narrowed his eyes.” All I want is to look at
your bed, Granny Quinn. Why are you so hostile?” He chuckled and inched closer to Granny Quinn. His voice
became more stern as he added,” What are you hiding underneath your bed?” Granny Quinn’s expression
darkened when she heard this. She let out a slight cough, then smiled awkwardly. “Pardon me-I may have
overreacted just now.” She continued to cough into her fist, feigning frailness, and said, “I was just surprised, that’s
all… This is the first time you and your little girlfriend ever came to my room, Mr. Landry, and you even demanded
to look at my bed! “To be honest, I’m an old lady now, and naturally… I was a little shocked by this request. “After
all, what is there to look at on a frail old lady’s dirty, messy bed?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThen, she shot Jim a somewhat pleading look and added, “Please don’t do this to me, Mr. Landry. My health has
been declining day by day, so much so that even getting out of bed wears me out tremendously. Please don’t make
this difficult for me…”
Not only had Granny Quinn’s reaction aroused Jim’s suspicion, but even Bonnie began to frown.
Even though Granny Quinn was trying desperately to prevent them from checking her bed, it only made it more
tempting to do so. The more she tried to deny that she was hiding something, the more suspicious it seemed. Jim
curled his lips into a smile. “Do you think I’m trying to make your life difficult by asking you to get out of bed? If so,
don’t you think I’m the lesser devil compared to your godson Quentin?”
Then, he gestured at the men standing behind him and ordered, “Lift Granny Quinn off the bed, and remember to
be gentle!”
The subordinates had already been given orders by Joshua and Luke to do as Jim said, thus they surged forward
without hesitation.
There were more than ten of them, and immediately, they surrounded the bed and lifted the sheets, removing her
from the bed and placing her down in a small cot next to it, which was meant for the nurses to sleep in.
As soon as she was put down, Granny Quinn kept trying to climb out of bed. “Master LKry, listen to me! There’s
nothing underneath my bed, you…”
Bonnie narrowed her eyes, feeling a little annoyed by the sound of Granny Quinn’s hoarse voice, and snapped,
“We’ll know the answer after we check it ourselves!
“If we find nothing, we’ll leave you alone, but even if we do find something, we’re inclined to believe that you did
not have much involvement in this.”
Then, she turned around and peered underneath the bed frame. At this moment, Jim had squatted and was also
checking the bed frame.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBonnie felt her heart skip a beat when she glanced at Jim’s handsome face etched with concentration.
She turned her head away, not daring to look at his charming features anymore, and instead focused her attention
on his hands, which were trying to pry the bed frame apart. They were right.
The base of the bed frame, on which the mattress laid, was mobile.
“Lift the base up!” Jim ordered. The men did as he said and removed the base. There was a stairway hidden
underneath. Jim furrowed his brows and immediately ordered a few of the smarter-looking guards to follow him
down the stairwell. “I want to go, too,” Bonnie said, frowning, as she grabbed Jim’s arm. “I’ll go with you.” Jim
furrowed his brows when he felt her warm, soft hand on his arm. “You should wait up here.
The stairway was dark, and he could not tell how big the space was, much less if there was anyone down there
waiting for them. If it turned out that there were plenty of guards hiding underneath, waiting to attack, then this
would be a dangerous mission.
Therefore, he could not possibly allow Bonnie to take this risk with him.
