Ch. 291..300
Chapter 291
“I never thought they were from the Shepard family. No wonder they recognized Bonnie in the photo. They must know that the guy is Bonnie’s boyfriend, yet they call her boyfriend a gigolo. They’re stooping low to tarnish Bonnie’s reputation, using all sorts of dirty tricks.”
“I know a bit about the Shepard family. Bonnie and Trina were born in the same hospital. Ironically, a nurse accidentally swapped them.”
“So you’re saying Bonnie is the real heiress of the Shepard family? And Trina is just a fake heiress who stole Bonnie’s ex–fiancé?”
“Yeah, that’s about it.”
“Wow! I can already imagine a drama where the
bitch bullies the real heiress
and steals her fiancé. I thought such things only happened in TV dramas. I didn’t expect it to be real.”
“Trina is shameless!”
Trina suddenly became a pariah, and everyone was condemning her.
Gresham and Vera knocked on Trina’s door.
When they pushed it open, Trina burst into tears, wailing loudly. Her cries were heart- wrenching.
It startled Gresham and Vera.
“Trina, what’s wrong? Are you okay?” Gresham asked, concerned.
Tears streaming down her face, Trina choked, “They’re too much. I just made a passing comment online, saying someone in a photo looked like Bonnie. They jumped to conclusions, thinking I was deliberately stirring trouble. I didn’t say anything else! I’m so unfairly treated!”
Initially wanting to question her, Gresham and Vera softened seeing Trina in such a state.
“Trina, dear, don’t cry. We believe you’re a good girl who wouldn’t intentionally harm Bonnie,” Vera comforted.
Trina cried even harder, tears flowing freely. “You… you believing in me means a lot… I’m not a bad kid. I didn’t mean to attack Bonnie,” Trina sobbed.
“Those
Vera’s clothes were soaked with Trina’s tears. Through gritted teeth, she said, netizens are despicable! Don’t they know cyberbullying can lead to death? Many people have committed suicide due to cyberbullying. Isn’t there any regulation to punish these villains who attack others indiscriminately?”
Hearing Vera’s words, Trina finally felt relieved.
At night, Avril called Bonnie to a newly opened bar.
“Your boyfriend, Ivor, is something else! Sending out over a million lawyer letters, it’s unprecedented!” Avril exclaimed, feeling pleased with himself.
“I hate people who don’t bother knowing the truth and casually dictate online. They don’t show their faces or identities, thinking the law can’t catch them, so they attack others however they want, revealing their darkest sides without caring about the feelings of those they attack. Your boyfriend’s actions are like a warning to those who hurl insults,
Avril continued.
Bonnie highly praised Ivor’s actions. “He indeed did well and showed great courage.
“Oh la la! Are you praising your man?” Avril teased, winking.
Bonnie smirked, saying nothing.
At that moment, a man with a vest and tattoos on his arms approached, leering at Bonnie.
CHAPTER 292
“Hey, beautiful, all by yourself? Feeling lonely? Want me to keep you company?”
Avril put her hands on her hips and exclaimed, “Are you blind? How can you say she’s alone? Am 1 nobody?”
The tattooed man glanced over at Avril. “What’s the matter, little girl? Are you jealous?”
“Jealous, my foot!”
“You don’t need to be jealous. I’ve got several brothers.”
After the tattooed man spoke, several men with hair dyed in various colors emerged
behind him.
“How about it? My men are all tough, right? Later, I’ll have them all serve you.”
Avril’s face turned red with anger. “Get lost! All of you get lost! If you dare to mess around, I’ll call the cops!”
‘Guys, this little girl says she’ll call the cops. Do you think we’ll give her that chance?” The tattooed man chuckled.
Avril knew well that these people would never allow her to call the cops. She didn’t know
what to do.
Just as Avril was anxiously pacing around, Bonnie stood up.
“It’s been a while since I’ve stretched my fists and feet. It’s good to move around. Otherwise, too much idleness leads to regression.”
With that said, she immediately leaped out. Her kickboxing skills were impeccable. In no time, the group of thugs who were just arrogant and overbearing were all lying on the
ground.
Avril widened her beautiful eyes. She suddenly remembered that Kay had been pestering
Bonnie to teach her kickboxing.
She knew Bonnie knew kickboxing, and she was quite skilled, but she didn’t expect Bonnie’s skills to exceed her imagination.
There were seven or eight ruffians in total, all taken down so effortlessly. She was amazing.
The tattooed man wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and glared at Bonnie
fiercely.
“You’re dead! The owner of this bar is my boss. My boss is not an ordinary person. He’s from the Knight family. By hitting me, you’re inviting trouble from the Knight family. I’ve already informed my boss!”
Avril was stunned for a moment. She looked at Bonnie, then at the tattooed man. “The Knight family? You mean the Knight Group?”
lives!!
“That’s right! It’s our city’s richest family, the Knight family! How about it? Scared now? If you’re scared, kneel and serve us! Make us happy, and maybe we’ll spare your The tattooed man said triumphantly.
Upon hearing this answer, Avril’s expression was strangely peculiar.
Bonnie was equally curious about who this person from the Knight family was, as mentioned by the tattooed man.
“The boss is here!” One of the thugs shouted.
“Great! The boss is finally here! You all wait to kneel and apologize!” The tattooed man couldn’t wait to see them begging for mercy.
Bonnie looked toward the man coming down the aisle to meet them.
“Oh, shit!” Flynn was shocked, jumping up and down, staring at Bonnie with absolute terror in his eyes.
The tattooed man didn’t notice this, constantly fueling the fire. “Boss, it’s this woman. I tried to reason with her, to have her willingly serve you, but she started hitting us. Look at what she did to us! It’s not just about her hitting us.
“We’re your men. By hitting us, she’s disrespecting you. Boss, you need to teach her a lesson! Make her kneel and apologize to you!”
CHAPTER 293
Flynn slapped the tattooed man hard on the back of his head. “Get your ass down and apologize to her!”
The tattooed man’s head buzzed loudly, partly because Flynn hit him too hard and partly because he couldn’t believe what Flynn was saying.
“Are you deaf or what? Get down on your knees!” Flynn slapped the back of the tattooed man’s head again.
It was even harder this time because Flynn was getting anxious, fearing he might get implicated.
“Ouch!” The tattooed man held the back of his head in pain, grimacing and howling.
“If you don’t kneel again, I’ll break your legs!” Flynn was sweating profusely with
anxiety.
Although the tattooed man didn’t know what was happening, given the current situation, he had no choice but to kneel to Bonnie.
Flynn approached Bonnie with a flattering tone. “Ms. Bonnie, this has nothing to do with me! I had no idea what was happening here, let alone that this jerk offended you!”
Seeing Flynn’s ingratiating attitude, everyone, including the tattooed man, was stunned. Flynn was the grantison of the Knight family, always a big shot who held his head high, so he had no reason to suck up to a woman like that.
Bonnie glanced at the tattooed man and the others. “They just said you’re their boss. They wanted Avril and me to accompany them. This is your territory. As the saying goes,‘ Like father, like son.‘ You must have been setting a bad example, which they followed. Be honest, how many innocent girls have you harmed with these people here?”
“I didn’t! I’m innocent!” Flynn was on the verge of tears. “Ms. Bonnie, I’ve turned over a new leaf. Really! I wouldn’t dare lie to you. After the last incident, I realized bigger fish are always in the sea. I woke up and decided to repent.
“This city doesn’t just belong to my Knight family. I used to be a spoiled rich kid, always thinking I was above everyone else, able to decide others‘ fates.
“To compensate for my past mistakes, I’ve donated almost all the money I earned from running this bar to orphanages and impoverished areas in the West. If you don’t believe
me, you can have my cousin check. I won’t dare tell a lie in front of you!”
Avril couldn’t find words to describe her shock as she watched Flynn, who was now genuinely shedding tears.
Now, she had figured out that this person in front of her should be Ivor’s cousin. Even if Ivor was pursuing Bonnie, Flynn had no reason to be so subservient to Bonnie.
It didn’t make sense. She wondered if there had been some unknown events between them, leading to Flynn’s fear of Bonnie.
The more she thought about it, the more curious she became.
Avril looked at Bonnie’s profile, her intuition telling her that Bonnie would bring her even more surprises in the future.
“I’ve investigated this matter, and what he said is true,” Jim walked out from the crowd.
Avril was stunned again. “Mr. Jim, what are you doing here? When did you arrive?”
Flynn internally complained, ‘Jim is Ms. Bonita’s bodyguard. If he’s not here, where else would he be?”
What Jim said, Bonnie naturally believed.
“A prodigal son returning home is priceless. Since you’re willing to start anew, I’ll give you this chance for the sake of Sigmund.”
Flynn became instantly excited, looking at Bonnie gratefully. “Thank you! Ms. Bonnie, thank you so much!”
With Bonnie’s words, Flynn wouldn’t have to hide in the city anymore, nor would he have to stay in this small bar. He could openly return to the Knight family.
“But if you ever do something illegal again in the future, don’t blame me for being ruthless,” Bonnie said coldly.
“No, I won’t! I refuse!” Flynn kept patting his chest, repeatedly promising.
It was nearly 1 a.m. when Bonnie returned to Villa No. 8 in Lenfield Resort.
As soon as she got home, the lights flicked on.
Seeing the man sitting on the sofa, Bonnie looked at him in a daze.
“Why are you here so late?”
Ivor stood slowly from the sofa, the light shining on his broad back.
CHAPTER 294
“I can’t sleep without you,” he said huskily.
Bonnie stifled a laugh, staring straight at the man, unsure what to say.
“Bonnie, how about I move in tomorrow?” Ivor frowned, his pleasant baritone tinged with a hint of pleading, softening Bonnie’s heart.
In the end, reason triumphed over all. “You have your place to stay. Why come here? Besides, who will take care of your brother if you leave?”
In this household, Neville was the unruly master. Before Bonnie appeared, he only
listened to Ivor. Even if his dad came, it wouldn’t make a difference.
“I’ll have him move in with me,” Ivor said.
Bonnie was speechless. “Why don’t you just have your entire family move in?”
“That’s a good idea. Since your place has no housekeepers, I’ll have them all move in
tomorrow.”
Bonnie sighed. “Enough already. Can’t you just live in your place?”
“I understand,” Ivor gazed at Bonnie affectionately.
Bonnie blinked. “What do you understand?”
Ivor didn’t hesitate to take Bonnie’s hand. “I understand what you mean. Absence makes the heart grow fonder. You’re teasing me.”
Bonnie let out a heavy sigh, feeling the urge to punch someone.
“It’s late, I’m going to bed. You can think whatever you want. Just don’t disturb my sleep.
With that, Bonnie pulled her hand out of the man’s grasp and headed upstairs.
Halfway there, she turned back to look at Ivor. “Why are you still standing there? Planning to sleep in the living room tonight?”
Ivor grinned.
“Okay.” Cheerfully agreeing, he quickly went upstairs to Bonnie’s room, pretending to
enter.
Bonnie stopped him. “What are you doing?”
“Going to sleep!”
“Go to your room.”
Ivor looked a bit disappointed. He thought Bonnie was going to invite him to share her
bed.
“Don’t you want to sleep together?”
“Then, you might as well go back to your villa.” Bonnie glared at Ivor.
This had to be taken step by step. There was no need to rush.
On the other hand, Gunnar watched as Flynn returned, hastily ordering someone to close the gate.
“Why did you come back without a word? If you’re caught, forget about staying in this city!”
Sydney watched as Gunnar scolded his son, feeling furious. “He’s your son! Our son! This is his home! What’s wrong with him coming back? That Bonnie, if she dares to cause trouble, I–I’ll fight her!”
CHAPTER 295
Sydney’s words scared Flynn so much that he felt his soul was about to leave his body.
“Mom, how can you say that about Bonnie? How could she be causing trouble? She’s a good person!”
Sydney froze, and Gunnar was dumbfounded. It took them a while to come to their senses. Then Sydney looked at Flynn with eyes full of pity.
“My son, oh my, have you been tortured into madness? Has something gone wrong your brain? Bonnie has made you suffer so much, and you dare to say she’s a good person, oh my! How unlucky is my son?”
Gunnar reached out and patted Flynn’s head, thinking about finding a doctor for him.
with
Flynn pushed his dad’s hand away, again emphasizing, “I’m not crazy. Bonnie is a good person, and she’s extremely talented. She’s a role model for people like me.”
Hearing this, Sydney first froze for a moment, then frowned. “Flynn, let me ask you, do you think she’s beautiful? Have you fallen for her?”
Flynn’s heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly raised his voice. “How could that be?”
Sydney breathed a sigh of relief, but she heard Flynn speak again before she could fully
relax.
“How could I possibly like Bonnie? I’m not even worthy of her or one of her toes.
Sydney was completely dumbfounded this time. Yes, her son must have been stimulated by what happened before, and his brain must have gone wrong.
Just as she thought this, she noticed that Gunnar was looking at her.
It seemed that the two of them had come to the same conclusion. They would have to
find several doctors tomorrow to check on their son.
On Saturday, Bonnie agreed to go to Pyralis with Mhairi to attend the Antique Jade Appreciation Conference.
Due to some delays, she couldn’t depart with them.
As Bonnie arrived at the venue a bit later, she was stopped at the entrance.
“Sorry, no invitation, no entry. That’s the rule. Even if you’re pretty, we can’t let you in.”
C30
The guard spoke with a disdainful and mocking glance at Bonnie.
In his eyes, Bonnie was just trying to use her looks to sneak into the event and snag a wealthy husband. He had seen this kind of thing many times before because the people invited to attend the appreciation event were all extraordinary, either from rich families. or well–known experts in the circle. Catching one of them meant a life of riches and
honor.
Bonnie frowned. “Do you know how rude you sound? This isn’t something a mere guard should say.”
“Hmph!” The guard sneered, “I’m just a guard, so what? I’m still better than you, a nobody.”
“How dare you talk like that? You’re asking for a beating!” Flynn rushed forward, delivering a swift kick that sent the guard sprawling.
“Ouch! My stomach!” The guard clutched his abdomen, wailing in pain, “Which idiot dares to lay hands on me?”
As the guard clutched his stomach and cursed, he stood up, but when he saw it was Flynn, he was so scared he almost collapsed.
“Sorry, sorry, Mr. Flynn. I didn’t know it was you.”
Flynn kicked the guard down again. “You blind fool, not only did you insult also disrespected her. Do you know who she is? You’re blind!”
me,
but you
The guard looked at Bonnie with great fear, guessing a thousand things in his heart.
Flynn turned around and looked at Bonnie, trying to please her. “Ms. Bonnie, are you okay?”
CHAPTER 296
Bonnie’s attitude frightened the security guard so much that his soul almost fled his body.
This woman could make the arrogant and overbearing master of the Knight family respect her. The guard wondered who he offended.
The more he thought about it, the more scared the guard became, trembling all over,
The more he thought about it, the more scared the guard became. He deeply bowed to Bonnie. “I’m sorry! I was blind and incompetent. Please, Miss, have mercy on me.
“Who do you think you are, daring to beg Ms. Bonnie for mercy? You lowly creature!” Flynn kicked the guard over and turned to Bonnie. “Ms. Bonnie, how do you want to
handle him? Should I take care of him?”
Outside the door, the guard was scared, pale, and trembling.
Bonnie rolled her eyes. “You’re as arrogant and domineering as ever, treating human life so lightly. He’s just incompetent at his job. You can dismiss him if you want, but to take his life over a few words? Is this how you used to threaten people’s lives over trivial matters casually?”
Flynn was afraid Bonnie misunderstood him, so he hurriedly explained.
“No, no, no! How could I? How could I do such unreasonable things? Although I used to be arrogant and spoiled, my upbringing was strict. I wouldn’t go so far as to harm someone’s life. As for the last time between you and me, I never intended to hurt anyone. I just got angry and deliberately arrested your brother to scare you.
Bonnie didn’t think Flynn was lying. Of course, she didn’t trust him either. Sigmund taught her this.
“Let’s go in.”
Avril’s family was still waiting inside.
“All right, all right, I’ll follow your lead,” Flynn said, gesturing to Bonnie as they walked together into the venue, him trailing behind her like a follower.
The guard sat on the ground, vowing never to look down on anyone again.
Accompanying Flynn was an older man. Bonnie noticed that the older man always had a haughty look, with his hands behind his back and a gaze resembling a sage.
Chudler 26
“Flynn, who is she? Why do you show such respect for her?” the old man asked curiously.
“She…” Flynn looked toward Bonnic, who gave him a warning look that dared him to try and say anything..
Flynn understood Bonnie’s dangerous gaze and subconsciously gulped.
“She’s a friend of mine.”
“Oh,” Jesper responded indifferently, evidently losing interest in Bonnie because of Flynn’s answer.
“Bonnie! You finally made it!” Avril saw Bonnie and quickly ran over.
Daken and Mhairi also came to greet her.
“How did you get in alone?” Mhairi asked curiously.
Bonnie glanced at Flynn. “I was stopped outside by the guard. He brought me in.”
Mhairi hadn’t seen Flynn before, so she asked curiously, “Who is this?”
“He’s the son of the third child of the Knight family,” Bonnie introduced.
Mhairi paused and then remembered what Daken had said that the CEO of the Knight Group was currently pursuing Bonnie.
So, this wasn’t surprising.
“Bonnie, I noticed you recognized the glass seed necklace I gave you at first glance. You must be quite knowledgeable in this area. Come, help me identify which of these jadeite stones can produce green.” Mhairi pulled Bonnie toward the exhibition table.
CHAPTER 297
“Heh!” Jesper sneered. “Just a little kid, what does she know? Buying and cutting jadeite is like gambling. How can we let a child mess around with it?”
Avril was most annoyed when others looked down on Bonnie. “Hey, who do you think you are? Why are you so rude?”
“Hush–” Flynn quickly gestured to Avril to be quiet. “Don’t speak out of turn. He’s a big shot in the antique and jade world.”
“Even if he’s powerful, he can’t just attack others, right? Besides, this is our own business. If we want Bonnie to cut some stones for fun, what’s wrong with that?”
Regardless of who the other person was, no one could look down on Bonnie in Avril’s
heart.
“Hmph!” Jesper snorted coldly. “Ignorant brat, you’re not worth my time.”
“Yes, yes, she’s just a kid. Mr. Jesper, you’re a big shot. You shouldn’t lower yourself to her level.” Flynn felt torn. One was a master in antiques, and the other was Bonnie’s
friend. He couldn’t afford to offend either.
Flynn led him to the exhibition booth to divert Jesper’s attention.
“Mr. Jesper, which of these rough stones do you think will yield green?”
Jesper carefully observed, then pointed to one of the stones after a while and said, “This one is from the Pagan area and should produce good jadeite.”
T ‘Really?” Flynn became excited.
Bonnie glanced over and frowned. “Considering you’re the grandson of Mr. Sigmund, I’ll remind you, while this stone is indeed from the Pagan area, it’s not from the old mine. It probably won’t yield anything good. I’m afraid it won’t even produce an inch of green.”
“This
Flynn didn’t know what to say. Although Bonnie was a distinguished academic, this was about geology. This woman couldn’t have known everything.
“Ridiculous!” Jesper rebuked angrily. “You little brat, what do you know? How dare you say I’m wrong! The auda-”
“Mr. Jesper, Mr. Jesper, don’t argue with her. Let’s cut some jade, let’s cut some jade now.
Flynn quickly pulled Jesper away.
“Hmph” Jesper snorted again, glaring at Bonnie, “Today, I’ll let it go because of Mr. Flynn. But if there’s a next time, I’ll make you regret crossing me!”
Flynn hurriedly called someone over to start cutting the stone, and soon, many people gathered around.
Among them were many who knew Jesper,
“It’s Mr. Jesper from Sacryment! He’s no ordinary person, definitely a big shot in our
field.”
“Mr. Flynn must be from the Knight family in the city. Well, only someone like that could get Mr. Jesper here.”
“Mr. Jesper’s chosen rough stone must be a gem. I’m curious to see what kind of jade it will yield.”
“Me too.”
Avril was very unhappy, but she could only hold it in.
“Bonnie, come on, let’s go. Don’t mind them. Let’s pick our stones,”
“Yeah! Bonnie, those booths have rough stones worth tens or hundreds of thousands. The chances of getting good material are also high. Let’s go there,” Mhairi comforted Bonnie while pulling her towards other booths.
As they passed a cheap booth, Bonnie stopped, carefully inspecting the rough stones.
before her.
“Bonnie, what are you looking at? Almost all this booth are waste. They
the stones or won’t yield anything good. Although they’re cheap, they’re almost like throwing money away. Let’s go. We’ll go over there instead.” Avril tugged at Bonnie, but she didn’t budge. “Bonniel
CHAPTER 298
Bonnie looked at Daken. “Daken, can you lend me a strong flashlight?”
“Sure.” Having witnessed Bonnie’s abilities, Daken thought she might understand this
trade.
Bonnie took the strong flashlight and began to examine it inch by inch.
After a while, a sigh suddenly came from nearby.
“It’s such a big piece of rough stone. It looks good on the surface and is from the old Pagan area. How come it didn’t yield even an inch of jade? Four hundred thousand gone just like that.‘
Upon hearing this, Avril’s family all turned their heads to see the stone that had just been
cut.
“It didn’t yield anything. Bonnie is amazing!” Avril was full of admiration for Bonnie.
Jesper, who had reprimanded Bonnie with an air of superiority, now had a face even greener than the jade just cut.
“Um, sorry, Mr. Flynn, I made a mistake this time.”
Flynn didn’t blame Jesper, just shifting his gaze awkwardly to Bonnie. He was now very curious, wondering if it was just a wild guess from Bonnie or if she knew.
Just as he was filled with doubts, Bonnie looked at Daken again. “This rough stone can be bought. It should yield something good.”
Daken asked, “Do you want to buy this?”
Bonnie nodded, her eyes determined.
Seeing Bonnie like this, Daken went ahead and bought it.
Seventy thousand dollars wasn’t much for their family background.
Jesper, who had just been embarrassed, now decided to regain his dignity and approached Bonnie.
A worthless stone and you still think you can get something good out of it? Although Lis stone only costs seventy thousand dollars, I advise you not to trust the words of a little brat. If this kind of rough stone yields good jade, I’ll eat the stone right here.”
Bonnie was annoyed by this older man’s nonsense. “What I get from this stone is not the same waste as the one you just cut. Even if you want to eat it, I wouldn’t spare it. You can eat the one you just cut.”
“You’re quite eloquent, brat!” Jesper’s anger made him tremble.
“What’s wrong? You said it yourself. Are you backing out? Are you afraid you’re not as good as me?”
“Don’t think I can’t tell you’re trying to provoke me.
“That’s right. I am provoking you because I have confidence in my abilities, unlike you, who only knows how to boast and act high and mighty but don’t even dare to gamble with me.” Bonnie retorted without reservation.
Avril added fuel to the fire from behind, “That’s right! You’re afraid of losing, so you dare not compare yourself to our Bonnie.”
Jesper’s face turned red with anger. With so many people watching, he might as well not go out if he dared not accept this bet.
“You little brat, this is your own doing. I accept this bet. What will you do if the stone in your hand doesn’t yield anything?”
“If I lose, I’ll eat the stone in my hand,” Bonnie said confidently.
“Good! It’s a deal. If what you get from your stone isn’t as good as mine, then you’ll also have to eat this stone,” Jesper added.
“Why should I?!”
CHAPTER 299
Avril raised her voice in disbelief. “You clearly said just now that if Bonnie’s rough stone couldn’t yield anything, how come it’s turned into her stone not being as good as yours? Isn’t this changing the terms?
“You, being an expert in the industry, should be consistent with your words and actions. With so many years of experience, don’t you care about your reputation?”
“I just didn’t finish my sentence earlier. How is that changing the terms?” Jesper stood with his hands behind his back, his demeanor firm. “Or is it that she lacks confidence in herself? Fine, as long as she solemnly apologizes in front of everyone here, I’ll cancel
this bet.
“After all, I’m the elder here. It’ll be embarrassing for a senior to gamble with a junior
over stones.”
“You… you… you’re truly cunning.”
“Bold! A mere member of a small family like you, who gave you the audacity to speak to me like that? Do you think I’m someone you can easily offend? I have good relations with many prominent families in Pyralis. If you dare to disrespect me again, I’ll make sure you regret it!”
Bonnie’s narrowed eyes glinted dangerously. “Fine, I agree with your conditions. If your lose later, I’ll make you eat the stone you cut. I promise to do what I say!”
“Hmph!” Jesper snorted and turned away. He didn’t believe anything valuable could come from that piece of junk.
Floyd knocked on the door, holding a notebook.
“Come in,” Ivor said coldly.
Floyd placed the notebook in front of Ivor. “Sir, this is something you’ll be interested in.”
Ivor looked at the screen with a hint of confusion, but his rugged features softened as he saw Bonnie’s face. However, as he witnessed Jesper repeatedly bullying Bonnie, his expression grew increasingly grim.
“Sir, do you think Ms. Bonnie understands geodes? Logically, as a girl who grew up in the countryside, she shouldn’t have so much knowledge. Her talent in chess is undoubtedly
high. Even if her family background isn’t good, it’s not necessarily a hindrance.
202
“The same goes for racing, where family background isn’t crucial. However, geode appreciation requires sufficient experience and knowledge. Not to mention, Ms. Bonnie is only twenty years old. With her family background, she should have no chance to be. exposed to this industry, right?”
Floyd raised his hand to his chin. “But if she knows nothing, how did she figure out that Mr. Jesper’s chosen stone couldn’t yield anything good? She even accurately said that not even an inch of green could be extracted?”
Ivor’s narrowed eyes shimmered with a mysterious gleam. “Continue watching, and you’ll find out.”
“Yeah, if Ms. Bonnie’s chosen stone yields good–quality jade later, it’ll prove that she truly is an expert in this field, and her skills surpass even Mr. Jesper’s.”
Bonnie handed the stone she had just chosen to the professional stone cutter.
Because of this bet, almost everyone in the venue gathered around.
“What’s going on? Why’s it so lively?” A passerby asked curiously.
“It’s all because of a young girl who doesn’t know her boundaries, wanting to challenge. Mr. Jesper,”
“What? Am I hearing this right? Mr. Jesper is a big shot in our industry, not just in Pyralis but across the country. He’s a big name. And that girl?
“She looks like she’s not even twenty yet, probably hasn’t even finished her education, yet she dares to challenge Mr. Jesper? She’s like a fool rushing in where angels fear to tread!”
“Let’s see how the senior teaches the junior a lesson.”
Five minutes later, the rough stone was cut open before everyone.
“It’s green! It’s such a vibrant green! And it’s so large!”
“Oh my god! It’s massive! Unbelievable!”
CHAPTER 300
Shocked, Jesper hurriedly approached. His old eyes wrinkled and turned increasingly red, his hands trembling incessantly.
“The restrained color, the perfect texture, with a hint of faint blue flowers drifting, flawless and exquisite. Th–that’s an ice jadeite with floating flowers.”
“Oh my goodness!” Flynn also stepped closer. Despite being from the wealthy Knight family, this high–quality jade still astonished him.
Avril widened her eyes. “Dad, Mom, that looks like a real ice jadeite with floating flowers!
Daken and Mhairi also stood there, mouths agape in shock.
Avril gulped. “A piece of ice jadeite with floating flowers this big, how much is it worth?”
Bonnie thought for a moment and gave an estimate. “Probably worth 8.5 million.”
“8.5 million?!” Avril’s jaw dropped, almost unable to speak.
fit
Bonnie nodded calmly. “8.5 million is the lowest estimate. If it were auctioned, such high -quality ice jadeite with floating flowers might fetch over 15 million.”
“Wow…” Avril gasped.
Now I finally understand how you’ve got so much money. With skills like yours, you deserve to be wealthy!”
Bonnie twitched her mouth slightly, wanting to say she didn’t rely on this to get rich, but ultimately chose to remain silent.
Watching through the screen, Floyd was astonished, his jaw almost dropping. In his heart, he felt an intense admiration for Bonnie.
“Sir, Ms. Bonnie is amazing! Is she even human? She’s probably a reincarnation of some great immortal.”
Ivor gave Floyd a cold glance. “You’re not much of a human yourself.”
Floyd was startled, wanting to pinch himself. He had accidentally said the wrong thing in his excitement.
aha…“Ivor laughed. Looking at Bonnie’s exquisite face on the screen, he was filled ith overflowing indulgence. “She is truly worthy of being my woman.”
Hearing this, Floyd wanted to laugh sarcastically. He wasn’t even sure if Ivor was worthy
of her.
Bonnie’s gaze turned slightly chilly as she looked at Jesper. “It’s time to fulfill the bet and eat the stone you chose earlier.”
Jesper’s face stiffened, hesitating momentarily before saying, “You little brat, you just got lucky. There’s no need to be so arrogant. Let’s just forget about this.”
“Forget about it? Who do you think you are? Am I supposed to let it go just because you said so? You were the one who wanted to make the bet.” Bonnie’s voice was indifferent.
“Y–You dare to be so disrespectful to me! You
Bonnie lost her patience completely. “Are you going to honor the bet or not?”
“I-“Damn it! Jesper cursed inwardly. With so many people watching, being pressured by this annoying brat, his dignity had long been trampled.
Avril cheered Bonnie on. “Hey! You’re supposed to be a big shot in the industry, yet your words hold no weight. Shame on you!”
