Chapter 2312
Jim, on the other end of the call, rolled his eyes.
"Don't be so arrogant, will you, Joshua? Do you think you'll be able to get rid of me just because you say so? How little do you think of me?"
Joshua curled his lips into a smile at the look on Jim's face.
"If you don't believe me, we can try."
With that, he turned to glance at Luna.
"What do you say, Luna?"
Luna pursed her lips, let go of his hand, and sat next to him.
The expression on her face was a little dark as she muttered, "I'm not in the mood for jokes right now."
Seeing that she was acting a little strange, and there was a faint quiver in her voice, Joshua immediately furrowed his brows in concern.
"What's wrong?"
Luna bit her lip and closed her eyes.
The first image that appeared in her mind's eye was Butler Fred's kind, smiling face, as well as the way he looked when he told her he would help her get rid of Sean and Jim.
She remembered the respectful tone of his voice whenever he spoke to her, but at this moment, the memories of these were gradually replaced by the sinister undertone of his claims of loyalty.
Luna was finding this a little difficult to accept.
After all...she had always thought Butler Fred was a kindhearted and responsible butler.
Never in her wildest dreams had she imagined that he would have such sinister motives.
When did he even start thinking about helping her get rid of Jim? When did he start planning his elaborate scheme? Luna's mind was a jumble of thoughts as she rubbed her temples in frustration.
"Perhaps she's finding it a little hard to accept, considering that the real Butler Fred is not at all who we think he is."
Even Jim tucked his joking attitude away when he saw the devastation on Luna's face.
