Ch. 1111..1120: Chapter 1111-1120

Chapter 1111

Moving forward, Ivor decided not to act alone anymore. Instead, he would wait for "Bonnie" to devise a strategy and entirely cooperate. Then, he could maximize his personnel and minimize losses. "Of course. We're partners, and I must consider your feelings," Bonnie said as she looked at Ivor meaningfully, "I'm unlike those who break their promises without considering their partner's feelings." Ivor looked embarrassed as he responded, "Yeah, those people can't compare to the Nidhoggs' leader."

Bonnie did not expect him to insult himself. She was stunned as she looked at him knowingly, realizing what had happened. "I didn't think the mighty leader of the Dark Knights to flatter me." Ivor was surprised. Although his words had an uncharacteristic flattery, it was not something he would usually say. Even so, it slipped out.

He stared at "Bonnie," unsure why he always felt at ease around her. The strangest part was that he often compromised with her. "Ahem," Ivor cleared his throat. Since he had already said those things, he could only feign ignorance. "When did I flatter you?"

He turned to Floyd and asked again, “Did you hear any flattery in my words?"

The latter shook his head. "No, sir. I heard nothing like that."Chapter

Bonnie smiled helplessly at their coordinated act. For some reason, it reminded her of Ivor and Floyd's work relationship.

'I must be imagining things from being away from Ivor for so long. Otherwise, why would these two resemble Ivor and Floyd so much?'

While Bonnie was thinking, Ivor broke the silence, "I have a question."

Bonnie looked at him and asked, "What is it?"

"How'd you know I accidentally breached the contract?" Ivor had been wondering about that for a long time.

Although Yasmine caused a significant commotion in District Nine, Bonnie did not know Yasmine was a member of the Dark Knights beforehand. Moreover, Ivor had hidden Yasmine's information well.

He could not help but wonder how "Bonnie" figured it out so quickly.

"Before I answer, I need you to rephrase yourself. You intentionally broke our agreement, not accidentally." Bonnie saw through Ivor's attempt to clear his name.

She would not have minded if it were any other issue. However, breaking promises was her bottom line, and she had to remind Ivor to prevent him from repeating his mistake.

Chapter 1112

Ivor did not intend to downplay the situation since "Bonnie" had pointed it out. He could only admit it, "All right, I get it."

"Perfect." She was pretty satisfied with his response.

He leaned back lazily and asked again, “So, can you tell me now?"

"Sure-"

Suddenly, her subordinate rushed in and said, "Mr. Boyd, a masked person is sneaking around outside! Should we bring them in?"

"Someone's sneaking around?" Bonnie and Ivor exchanged solemn glances. The former ordered, "Bring them in! I want to know if they're from District Nine."

She thought the people from District Nine were acting fast. It seemed she needed to expedite her plans.

"Let go of me!" The voice outside made Bonnie pause, thinking the voice was familiar.

Ivor recognized Yasmine's voice immediately. He bolted from the chair and strode toward her. Somehow, Yasmine had managed to tail him, even though he kept an eye out for her.

Bonnie watched from the sidelines, puzzled. She squinted and observed them without moving from the chair.

When Yasmine saw her boss, she quickly covered her face and turned away, muttering, "You can't see me."

Ivor's lips twitched. "I can see you, you imbecile! Stop acting like a child."

Yasmine dared not face her boss. However, he circled her and yanked off her mask. Since she could no longer hide, she faced Ivor and said pitifully "I had no choice but to come here myself since you refuse to let me follow you." Chapter

Suddenly, her eyes widened as she stammered, "Y-You! l-It's you!"

Ivor followed Yasmine's gaze and saw "Bonnie." He thought Yasmine was trying to change the subject, so he said, "Don't try to distract me. What are you-"

Before he could finish, Yasmine limped

thought I'd never see you again!"

Yasmine was so excited that she blushed. She could barely speak coherently.

Meanwhile, Bonnie struggled to breathe as Yasmine bear-hugged her. "Cough, cough, cough!"

Chapter 1113

Bonnie choked as she pried Yasmine off her. "Hey, take it easy! I'll suffocate if you keep hugging me like that!" Yasmine quickly let go and apologized, "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to choke you. I was just too excited to see you."

Bonnie massaged her neck and cleared her throat. Meanwhile, Ivor watched their interaction with surprise. He asked, "Yasmine, what's happening?"

She cheerfully responded, "Boss, he's the savior I've been telling you to look out for. Billy would've caught me if it weren't for this guy."

Yasmine clung to "Bonnie's" hand as she spoke, fearing the latter would try to run.

Ivor finally understood the situation by combining Yasmine's words with the incidents at the underground market. He looked at Bonnie and asked, "You were at the underground market that day? What were you doing there, Mr. Boyd?"

Bonnie rolled her eyes and replied, "I was there spying on the enemy. Just to be clear, I didn't breach our contract. I wouldn't have gone if it weren't necessary for the mission."

Ivor sighed. "I already admitted to breaching the contract. We discussed that already, so let's move on and discuss something else, shall we?"

"Fine, what do you want to talk about?" Bonnie raised a brow.

He asked, "Did you find out I breached the contract because Yasmine told you she's a member of my organization?"

Before Bonnie could answer,

Yasmine said, "I said nothing to him at the underground market. Don't accuse me like that, boss! Although I'm grateful to him, I know what I should and shouldn't say."

Ivor squinted at Bonnie and questioned, "So, how'd you find out if Yasmine didn't tell you? Did you plant someone in my organization?"

Bonnie scoffed. "You love assuming the worst about people, huh?"

"Then how else did you know about what I did?" Ivor's eyes were cold.

Bonnie pursed her lips and said, "Did you think I wouldn't be able to find out if I wanted to? As for accusing me of planting a spy in your organization, that's ridiculous! I'm not that bored."

Ivor remembered hiding Yasmine's

identity as a Dark Knight member

with everything he had. Not only was

she his subordinate, but she was

also a star at Yale. It would

endanger her if people knew she

was a Dark Knight.

Still, Ivor never expected "Bonnie" to uncover Yasmine's identity so quickly. He could not help but wonder how capable Bonnie had to be to achieve that.Chapter

Bonnie noticed his silence but did not intend to argue. Instead, she sat back down and sipped her tea.

Yasmine was curious about

Bonnie's demeanor, asking, "Sir, are

us

you an important member of the Dark Knights or something? You look even more impressive than my boss regarding how you sit and drink tea."

"I, uh-"

Yasmine interrupted, "Why don't you join us? My boss values talented people, after all. We'll value you more than the Nidhoggs. The best part is, I get to see you daily!"

Chapter 1114

Yamine's eyes sparkled as she spoke while excitedly shaking Bonnie's arm. It seemed like no one else existed for Yasmine.

Floyd noticed how she took control of the situation. He felt hesitant but soon said, "Yasmine, you—"

Before he could finish, Yasmine interjected, "Are you worried my savior will replace you, Floyd? You're too selfish if that's what you think."

She winked at Ivor and added, "Right, boss? You appreciate my savior, don't you?"

Ivor looked at her and then at Bonnie, squinting as he said, "Indeed, I appreciate what he "

Yasmine shook Bonnie's arm again and exclaimed, "Did you hear that?! My boss says he appreciates you. If you want to join our organization, it's a done deal. Tell your boss you're coming to us so I can see you every day."

Bonnie's lips twitched as she pulled away from Yasmine's grasp. "Did it ever occur to you I might be the Nidhoggs' leader?"

"Huh?" Yasmine's eyes widened as she looked at Bonnie in disbelief. "Y-You're their leader?! Are you kidding?"

She thought the leader was a middle-aged man, not the handsome one who had saved her. Hence, Yasmine never expected Bonnie to be the leader of the Nidhoggs.

'That's hard to believe! It's almost impossible!'

"Why would I joke about something like that?" Bonnie raised her brows at Yasmine.

The latter gulped, wide-eyed and at a loss for words. The room fell silent as she glanced at Floyd awkwardly and muttered, "You should've given me a heads-up. Now I feel O humiliated."

Floyd was flustered and aggrieved, saying, "I wanted to, but you didn't let me."

Yasmine felt so humiliated that she wished to disappear. She even remembered Floyd trying to stop her earlier.Chapter

'Ugh, I need to stop interrupting people!'

Bonnie noticed Yasmine's awkward

smile and teased, "So, do you stil

recruit me into the Dark

Knights?"

Yasmine coughed lightly into her fist before saying, "Well, you can if you're willing."

Ivor laughed heartily. "Yasmine's

as you after all. If you're inter " ne

Yasmine instantly felt more confident with Ivor's support.

Chapter 1115

"See? My boss loves talents like you. You're a lifesaver, so just consider joining our organization. My boss will treat you well."

Bonnie glanced at Ivor teasingly. "I think my organization also needs talents like your boss. Why don't you tell him to join me instead? I can assure you I won't mistreat him.”

Yasmine barely heard what "Bonnie" said but instinctively wanted to agree, "Okay, my boss will join your "

She froze when she realized something was wrong. She then glanced at Ivor and met his deadly stare. Yasmine's heart raced with panic as she looked away.

Meanwhile, Bonnie felt delighted. She smiled and said slyly, "Why stop there?"

"Th-that doesn't count!" Yasmine looked around shyly. "However, I can decide for myself. If you want me to join your organization, I—”Chapter

Ivor predicted what she was about to say. He frowned and interrupted, "Yasmine! Stop screwing around!"

She shrugged and avoided looking at him. She could only mutter, "Well, you've always thought I was annoying. You should be happy now that I want to join my savior's organization, right? I'm considering your interests here."

Ivor felt a headache coming on as he glared at Yasmine. "That's enough! Stop muttering under your breath! I can hear you, y'know."

Although she pouted to express her dissatisfaction, she knew Ivor was genuinely angry.

Ivor withdrew his gaze from Yasmine and looked at Bonnie, saying, "Since we've clarified everything, we'll leave. Once you've arranged everything, please inform me, and I'll cooperate fully."

Bonnie casually sipped her tea and

said, "No problem. Still, I'll welcome Yasmine with open arms if she wants to join my organization. We need someone as skilled as her in hypnosis. If she accepts, she'st be a considerable asset to my organization."

Ivor responded dryly, "Yasmine was joking earlier."

'After investing so much in her, I can't just let her go.'

Bonnie chuckled and glanced at Yasmine, asking, “So? Were you joking, Yasmine?"

The latter was about to reply when she noticed Ivor glaring daggers at her.

'If I disobey Mr. Ivor again, he might get angry and kick me out. Forget it. I can be flexible. It's better to placate him first. As for joining my savior's organization, I'll consider it later.'

With that in mind, Yasmine smiled awkwardly at Bonnie. "Y-Yeah, I was joking. After all, I'm incredibly loyal to my boss and will do anything for him. How can I betray him and join your organization?"

Chapter 1116

Yasmine winked at Bonnie, indicating she did not mean what she said.

On the other hand, Bonnie did not pry. Instead, she smiled when she realized Yasmine was attempting to appease both sides.

The former said, "So that's how it is. I guess I got excited for nothing. I thought you wanted to join us, Yasmine. Since the Dark Knights disagree, I won't force it."

Ivor raised a brow and smirked, saying, "You want Yasmine, huh? Then give me Collin, and we'll call it even."

Before Bonnie could respond, Collin shook his head vigorously and refused, "Absolutely not! I don't want to go to your organization. I'd rather stay with Mr. Boyd forever."

Ivor looked at Yasmine and said, "See that? Compare his attitude with yours. You're always siding with outsiders. I've been good to you for nothing."

Yasmine chuckled awkwardly. She tried redeeming herself by saying, "Boss, I refused their offer, didn't I? That should show my sincerity toward you. Why would you say that about me and hurt my feelings?" Ivor remained impassive. Then, he scoffed as if he chose not to explode.

Yasmine blinked and rubbed her hands together, not daring to say another word.

Bonnie broke the silence, "Since we've resolved the misunderstandings between our organizations, I have other matters to attend to. You can leave now."

"You got it," Ivor responded lightly. He was about to leave when he saw Yasmine sprinting toward Bonnie and stuffing a business card into the latter's hand. "This is my personal contact information. My phone is on 24/7 for you. Remember to call me, okay?" Yasmine even blew a kiss at "Bonnie."

The latter's lips twitched. After a brief pause, Bonnie kept the business card.

Yasmine felt relieved when she saw that. Then, she returned to Ivor's side and said, "Let's go, boss."

Ivor did not know what to say at that moment. Ultimately, he massaged his temples and sighed, saying, "Can we go now?"

'I don't know what to do with this girl sometimes.'

Once the trio left, Bonnie's subordinates retreated from the room and stood guard outside, leaving only her and Collin.

Collin grinned when he recalled Yasmine's attitude toward Bonnie. He said, "Do you think Yasmine has a crush on you, Chief?"

Bonnie raised her brow. "What makes you think that?"

"It was pretty obvious," Collin saidnoveldrama

Bonnie scoffed. "So, you understand women that well? Does anyone have a crush on you? Does she look at you like that?"

Chapter 1117

"I, uh..." Collin felt embarrassed. "No, but I've seen how people interact."

"Don't impose your thoughts on others, Collin. I'm a woman, so I know what Yasmine's thinking. If you don't understand, stop spewing nonsense. It's easy to mislead others, y'know." Bonnie rolled her eyes. 'Collin might be right, but I think Yasmine only admires me because I helped her.'

At that moment, Collin realized something and slapped his thigh. "Oh, I almost forgot! You're disguised as a man!"

Bonnie rolled her eyes again. "What do you mean you almost forgot?! I've always been a woman!"

Collin chuckled awkwardly and glanced at her. "Yeah, but you disguised yourself so well that I almost forgot you're a woman. I'm praising you."

"Ugh, just shut up." Bonnie glared at him. "Go and lock the door let's discuss a plan to catch Falcon."

After locking the door, Collin voiced his doubts, "You don't believe the nonsense the leader of the Dark Knights said, right? Are you sure you want to rush things because of that?"

He felt Ivor was lying, thinking the latter only said such things to urge Bonnie to expedite things so that they could profit by lending out the chip as soon as possible.

"Do you think just a few words can sway me?" Bonnie said as she approached the window to look at the bustling streets below. Then, she calmly analyzed the situation, "Billy will be on guard since Yasmine has alarmed him.

"Then, he'll move Falcon from his

current location. It's an excellent et

"Right away, Chief." Collin nodded.Chapter

Swno

Ivor sat in the car and noticed Yasmine was hesitant to say something. He looked at her and

asked, "Do you have something to tell me?"

Yasmin was startled when she heard his sudden question. She patted her chest and said, "Jeez, you scared me, boss."

He felt a headache forming and lowered his voice, saying, "What? Do I need to announce when I'm about to speak?"

After a brief silence, Yasmine said, "Th-that's not what I meant."

"Then, what did you mean?” Ivor squinted, curious to hear her response.

Chapter 1118

Yasmine stammered, "Uh, wh-what were we talking about?"

Ivor sighed and glanced at her. "You were looking at me weirdly. Did you have something to say?"

Yasmine nodded. "Right, I wanted to ask you something."

Ivor prompted, "Well, go ahead."

"Why don't you join the Nidhoggs, boss? If our organizations join forces, no one can rival us, not even international organizations." Yasmine cautiously observed Ivor's expression as she spoke.

She moved back slightly when she noticed his expression turning solemn. She knew she would provoke his opposition by asking him that. Still, she expected him to react better to her question. Ivor glanced at her coldly. "If you're so eager to merge our organizations, why don't you try persuading your 'savior' to discuss it with me?"Chapter

Yasmine scratched her head. "Well, you and I are close, aren't we?"

"We're close, but you almost betrayed us." Ivor remained indifferent.

"Why would you say that, boss? I-I didn't betray anyone! I was just thinking about our organization's future. The Nidhoggs' leader is powerful, right? If we merge with them, we can access their resources. "That would benefit us significantly." Yasmine tried her best to persuade Ivor.

He looked at her condescendingly. "Do you honestly think Mr. Boyd is a fool? He won't let us just use the resources he worked so hard to gather."

Yasmine insisted, "We'll be one big family if our organizations merge. Why would he refuse to let us use his resources?"

Ivor shook his head helplessly. "It's not as simple as you think. Mr. Boyd isn't as good as you think."

"He risked his life to save me, boss! How bad can he be?" Yasmine pouted, unable to accept Ivor criticizing her savior.

"He only shows you what he wants you to see, Yasmine." His eyes shimmered with wisdom as he analyzed the situation for Yasmine, "Why do you think Mr. Boyd risked his life to save you? "It's because he was confident in his abilities. Otherwise, he wouldn't have made such a risk."

After some thought, Yasmine had to admit her boss was right. Still, she defended Bonnie, "But he saved me. That's a fact no one can change."

"I'm not saying he didn't save you,

Yasmine I let you repay his kindness, but let's prioritize what's at hand. I've dealt with Mr. Boyd many times, and he's not as kind-hearted as you think.

"He's cunning, and you're no match for him, so stop speaking so recklessly whenever he's around." Ivor tended to treat Yasmine more like a younger sister, even though she often gave him headaches. Yasmine always had trouble understanding certain things, and Ivor constantly had to explain things to her.

"I-I understand Mr. Boyd isn't as

simple as I think, boss. Otherwise,

he wouldn't have become the Nidhoggs' leader at such a young age," Yasmine insisted, "I'm just proposing a merger for our organization's benefit."

Ivor shook his head and sighed. "It won't work, so stop thinking about it."

Suddenly, Yasmine had an excellent idea. She said, "Since you're unwilling to merge with them, why don't you marry me off to Mr. Boyd? I'll form a marriage alliance and steal their technology for you."

Chapter 1119

Yasmine's proposal shocked Ivor. Even Floyd, who was driving, choked.

'How does she keep coming up with these things?! I can't help but wonder what goes on in her head.'

Yasmine scratched her head awkwardly when she saw Ivor's gaze and heard Floyd coughing. “Um, did I say something wrong? I think my idea's pretty good, all things considered."

Ivor sighed to compose himself. Still, he could barely suppress his emotions before saying, "Never bring that up again. Just forget about it, understood?"

"But why?" Yasmine was puzzled. "I think my idea's perfect, boss! Are you sure you won't even consider it?"

Ivor looked at her condescendingly. "Just shut up, Yasmine, please."

She wanted to say something, but he interjected, "Nope, I don't want to hear it!"

Feeling helpless, Yasmine could only swallow her words. She could not understand what was so wrong about her idea.

'I don't know why they're acting like it's the worst idea they've ever heard. The organization will benefit, and Mr. Dor has nothing to lose. There's no reason they should disagree!' en.swhovels.net

Once they reached the hotel, Ivor dealt with urgent company documents: Afterward, he went to rest and thought of Bonnie. After being away from her for so long, he could only distract himself with

work. ,

Now that he had time to relax, his wife was all he could think about. Unfortunately, he could not return to Bonnie, even if he wanted to.

Ivor sighed and fiddled with his phone absentmindedly. Then, he almost subconsciously tapped Bonnie's phone number and video-called her. He was even startled when the call rang.Chapter

He looked down and realized he had unconsciously called Bonnie.

'I must miss her so much that my subconscious took over. Still, video-calling her is the only way I can see her now.'

Meanwhile, Bonnie had just removed

her disguise and lay on the bed

when she received Ivor's call. She quickly straightened her clothes and repositioned herself in front of a white wall before answering the call.

Immediately after, she saw her handsome husband on the screen.

Chapter 1120

Bonnie felt heartbroken when she noticed the stubble on Ivor's chin. "How busy have you been? You even forgot to shave, Ivor."

Ivor paused and touched his chin. He felt the rough stubble and smiled helplessly, saying, "Yeah, I've been busy with so many things lately." He looked into Bonnie's eyes affectionately through the screen. He asked, "Do you miss me, honey? Is that why you noticed such small details?"

She blushed. "Oh, please. I didn't even need to scrutinize your face to notice it."

"Well, that's a lie." Ivor chuckled. "You miss me but won't admit it."

"So what if I do?" Bonnie retorted.

The couple had been apart for quite a while, and the more they talked, the more they yearned for each other.

Ivor was stunned by her question. He softened his tone, saying, "I'll finish up over here as soon as possible. I'm sorry for leaving you for so long after our wedding. I haven't been a good husband."Chapter

Bonnie thought, 'I haven't been a good wife, either. Still, no one's to blame since we encountered an unexpected and unavoidable event.'

"It's okay, Ivor. I know you don't want to be away for so long, but I understand." Her understanding tone made Ivor feel even more guilty.

"I can come home sooner if I have an easier time handling things here. It's just that things have gotten tricky now."

Bonnie grew curious when she heard that. "What could be keeping you occupied for so long?"

Ivor's last trip to the neighboring city was short, Moreover, handling company matters should be al breeze for him. Bonnie could not help but wonder why he seemed

troubled this time.

"You can tell me if you're having that much trouble. Maybe I can help," Bonnie said. Even though she was also busy, she would find the time to help her husband.

"It's nothing major. It's just a series of minor troublesome issues, that's all." Ivor looked down to hide the guilt in his eyes. After all, he could not tell his wife about the situation at Vale.

"Oh, I see." Bonnie squinted and feigned anger. "You know I hate liars. If you have something to say, please tell me. If I find out you're hiding something, I'll ignore you!"

Ivor wanted to tell her about these things, but they were too complicated and dangerous to involve her.
