Chapter 2110 Bonnie’s heart leaped into her throat when she heard him mention Number-9.
She bit her lip and tilted her head slightly to eavesdrop on Jim’s conversation.
However, Jim noticed this and instead scoffed and turned his back toward her so she would not be able to hear
anything.
He could not believe that even until this very moment, Bonnie had still not given up on her scheme to get close to
him.
If she found out about Number -9, she would no doubt seize the opportunity to impersonate Number-9 and force
him to marry her.
He had already been tricked by Charlotte, so he would not allow anyone to do the same thing! As soon as he

watched Jim talking on the phone outside, leaving her locked in the car. She had overheard some snippets of his
conversation. He was searching for the real Number-9. This meant that…he had already found out that Charlotte
had been impersonating Number-9. Staring at Jim’s tall, slender figure through the window, Bonnie felt as though
an invisible hand was squeezing her heart.
The person he had been looking for had been right next to him all this while! She was Number-9! All of a sudden,
Jim turned around, frowning.
As he turned, he met Bonnie’s eager, nervous gaze with his frosty stare.
Bonnie pursed her lips and suddenly felt the urge to get out of the car to reach him.
Even if she did not tell him the truth right then and there, she still wanted to hear him talk about how they had met!
However, as soon as she moved, Jim realized what she was about to do, and he swiftly took out his car key and
locked the car. No matter how hard she tried, Bonnie could not open the door. She lifted her head to glance in Jim’s
direction.
He curled his lips into a smirk and turned around to resume his conversation.
Bonnie’s heart sank.
Jim had not wanted her to get out of the car.
He did not want her to overhear any news about Number-9…
Despair and hopelessness surged into Bonnie’s heart. She closed her eyes, leaned against the leather car seat, and
let out a bitter chuckle. Did Jim think that she would cause him trouble, or…did he believe that a ‘manipulative
woman
like her would use the information about Number-9 against him?
“You have a name list?” Jim furrowed his brows when he heard his assistant’s explanation.” Are you saying that the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmorphanage had kept records of the families that adopted the children? Well, where is this list now?”
The assistant fell silent for a moment before replying, “The list…is with the former owner of the orphanage. I found
out that this owner had returned to Merchant City a few days ago to visit his family, and he’s about to board a plane
to leave Merchant City today.” Then, the assistant paused and checked his computer for the flight schedule. “The
plane..is set to depart an hour from now.” Jim narrowed his eyes. “Where is he headed?” “To…a country in
Afreeka.” The assistant sighed and added, “Should we stop him, Master Landry?” “Of course you should!” Jim
shouted at the top of his lungs. “Send people over to the airport to stop him immediately! I’ll be over as soon as I
can!” Then, he hung up the phone.
With the Landry family in crisis, he could not possibly leave Merchant City without warning, and if he were to let this
man fly back to Afreeka…there was no telling when he would be able to see him next!
As soon as he thought of this, Jim stormed to the roadside to hail a taxi. “Send me to the airport!” Inside the car,
Bonnie watched, agape, as Jim got into a taxi and left.
