Chapter 2175 It was like Quentin knew everything about him…but this was the first time Jim had met him. Jim’s expression satisfied Quentin. With his lips curled into a small smile at Jim, he then turned to look at Luke. “What makes you so sure that this woman, Charlotte, is here, Mr. Jones?”
Switching to a more comfortable position on the couch and glancing at everyone, Quentin’s small smirk surfaced to his face once more. “Let me emphasize once more: we don’t have such a luxurious dungeon here, and we can’t possibly have such a big bed and recreational facilities. Moreover, the Quinn family has always obeyed the law and didn’t shelter that fugitive, Charlotte.” He took out a cigar and lit it up elegantly. After one puff, however, he suddenly remembered something and looked at Bonnie. “Ms. Craig, do you mind that I smoke? If you do, I’ll put it
out.”

This startled Bonnie.
She looked at Quentin, whose lips had curled upward, his eyes staring at her stomach meaningfully. “Do you mind? Do you not?” Bonnie knew from his gaze that Quentin must have known about the child in her womb, and it …unsettled her greatly. At the instance, she felt like all the joints on her body had gone stiff. After a while, she regained her senses and smiled embarrassingly. She turned around, not daring to have eye contact with Quentin. “It…would be nice if you can put it out. I’m not used to the smell of cigarettes.”
Quentin smiled but did not put out the cigar. “Are you not used to the cigarette smell, or is there another reason that you don’t like me to smoke?” Bonnie’s expression faltered into a more dire-looking one after that question.
She was afraid, and very much so. If Quentin exposed the fact that she bore an infant in front of Jim, the consequences would be unthinkable!
“Mr. Simms, are you close with Bonnie?” Luna asked suddenly. “We’re not here today so we could listen to you quarrel with one person and then chat with another. Whether or not Bonnie likes or dislikes your smoking isn’t something worth going on about.” Only then did Quentin narrow his eyes slightly DVTOMFgU shifted his gaze away from Bonnie. Nonetheless, he was not that considerate to let Bonnie off the hook so easily. As he retracted his sight, he glanced at Jim. “Mr. Landry, what happened if someone lied to you? What would you do?”
