"I said I don't want to go home with you." Bonnie curled her lips into a smirk and said, enunciating her words carefully, "I refuse to move into Landry Mansion to live with you, and I refuse to allow Harvey and Shelly to do the same.
"They're my kids, and it's my responsibility to protect them '
Bonnie knew that even if she were to move to Landry Mansion, she would only be living in a small house in the yard where she would not have to see Jim at all.
Nonetheless, she did not want to go there, and neither did she want Harvey and Shelly to do the same.
"As long as Charlotte is living there, I won't tolerate living under the same roof as her, and I won't allow my children to do so either."
That woman was too cunning, and Bonnie was worried that she would try to harm Harvey and Shelly.
After all, even an adult like Jim had fallen prey to her tricks and ended up under her control.
She had already lost Jim; she refused to lose Harvey and Shelly.
Therefore, the only plan she could think of to protect the children was to keep them away from Charlotte.
Allowing them to return to Landry Mansion, where they would be in close proximity to her would only give Charlotte plenty of opportunities to hurt them.
She could not let her do this!
Jim stared at Bonnie, his features distorted in a scowl. "Don't bite off more than you can chew, Bonnie Craig!"
It was already difficult enough for him to agree to Harvey's terms and allow her to move into his house, but at this moment, this woman had the audacity to refuse and even claim that she would not move in as long as Charlotte was there.
What was she trying to do? Was she trying to force him to kick Charlotte out of the house?
That would never happen, not in a million years!
"I'm not trying to bite off more than I can chew." Bonnie let out a sigh and fixated her cold, impassive gaze on him. "I was just expressing my opinion. Even though I’m not from Merchant City, Jim, I can still buy any house in Merchant City that I want.
