Ch. 51..60
Chapter 51
Kay spotted Bonnie among the crowd and ran over before Orson could answer the question. “I’ve mastered a few of the moves you showed me, Master. I’ll show you in a while.”
“Okay.” Bonnie nodded.
Everyone in the crowd was utterly shocked!
Had Orson really addressed Bonnie as Master? That couldn’t be right!
Hadwin looked at her incredulously, his mind churning.
Orson approached Bonnie and bowed slightly. “It’s been a long time, Master Bonnie.”
She nodded politely. “I’m sorry to have troubled you.”
“It’s no trouble at all, Master Bonnie. I’d be more than happy to paint ten pieces for you as a present for your grandparents!”
Everyone was shocked again!
There was no doubt about it. Orson had really addressed her as Master!
Wait a minute!
Everyone looked at the torn painting that had been thrown in the trash and rubbed their palms
eagerly.
Yolanda in particular wore an expression of disbelief. She had torn the painting to pieces!
Harold called Bonnie over after he showed Orson and Kay to their seats. “Tell me now, Bonnie! What on earth is this? How did you meet Master Orson?” Everyone surrounded the two of them, eager to
hear her answer.
“Oh. It all happened on a fine morning…” Bonnie recounted the tale briefly.
“What? You kickbox?” Vera looked at her incredulously.
“Mm–hmm. I practiced it for a while.”
“When did you start? I’ve never heard of this!”
“I learned it from my master in the hills when I used to stay in the suburbs.”
Everyone unanimously jumped to the conclusion that she probably picked up kickboxing from some random old man in the suburbs, and was just fortunate that Orson happened to like kickboxing as well. He probably liked her because she was young and knew a little kickboxing-
There was no way she was proficient at it. She probably knew some run–of–the–mill moves, at most.
“Why did Kay address you as her master?”
“She wanted to learn kickboxing from me.” She answered.
Everyone thought that Bonnie had probably tricked Kay into thinking she was great at it. After all, she was young. There was no way she was that good at kickboxing.
“Forget about the kickboxing! I have a question for you. Did Master Orson paint that?” Harold
pointed at the torn painting in the trash can, agitated.
Bonnie raised her brow and said, “Yeah. He said so himself. He painted it.”
“Good gracious…” Harold couldn’t catch his breath.
“Are you alright, Grandpa?!” Trina tried to comfort Harold at once. Then, she started to blame
Bonnie.
Chapter 52
“Why didn’t you say anything, Bonnie? Look at what you did to poor Grandpa. Did you even think about Grandma? She…”
Bonnie cut her off. “Do you remember who tried to say the painting was a counterfeit? Who led e painting was a counterfeit? Who led everyone down that train of thought? Do you think everyone’s forgotten about that? Or do you think we’re all fools?”
Just like that, Trina became the target.
“That’s right! I knew it was a genuine painting the moment I laid eyes on it, but Trina claimed it was a counterfeit. That led me to think that Bonnie couldn’t have known Master Orson, so how could she have gotten her hands on a painting of his? It was utter nonsense!”
“It’s the same for me too. This is all Trina’s fault. Yolanda wouldn’t have gotten so mad and torn up the painting if it wasn’t for her! It was worth fifty million dollars! And it’s gone now.”
“Come on. Do you think it’s about the fifty million dollars? It’s virtually impossible to get your hands on a painting by Master Orson, no matter how much you’re willing to pay.
“A lot of wealthy elites went through great trouble to get a piece of his, and there was no guarantee they would get anything. Bonnie must have called in a great favor to get one for Harold and Yolanda. But unfortunately, it’s gone now.”
“Hush. Master Orson can’t find out about this. If he does, he might be furious. What will happen to the Shepard family, then?”
Harold and Yolanda still hadn’t gotten over the fact that Master Orson’s painting had been torn up when they heard these discussions about the family’s fate. Colour drained from their faces.
This was all Trina’s fault!
Trina recoiled in fear and pretended to act vulnerable while she cursed Bonnie to high heaven.
“This was all your fault, Bonnie! You put me through this embarrassment. Just you wait and see. I’m going to humiliate you in front of Master Orson.‘
The party was still ongoing when Trina went to Bonnie and deliberately said, “The SAT results are out. I’m worried about you, Bonnie. Can you get into college?”
“Do you think she can? You’d have better odds at winning the lottery!” Fernanda pouted and looked
at Bonnie.
“Well, I sure hope she can get into college.”
“Just forget about it. There’s no way she could pull that off.” Fernanda said confidently.
“How are you so sure?”
Fernanda rolled her eyes, “You’re such an idiot! They announced the results today. Bonnie must have
checked them, but she hasn’t said a word about it. That proves she flunked!!
“Not necessarily! She could have forgotten about it or gotten the dates mixed up. To be honest, I’m. pretty confident she did well in the SATS.
“You might not know this, but she moved out of the house just to study for it. I’m sure she studied. hard. Who knows? She might surprise everyone with her scores!!
“I’ll peel my own skin off if she did well on the test. It’s a pity she won’t talk about it. Nobody knows how she did.”
Trina hesitated for a few seconds before saying, “I know her student ID. We can check it.”
“Really?” Fernanda’s eyes glinted.
“Here it is.” Trina took her phone out and showed it to Fernanda. She had snuck into Bonnie’s room and gotten her student ID just so she could check her SAT scores.
“Haha! Let’s do it now. You know what? Let’s project her SAT scores onto the big screen. Didn’t she declare she could get into Pyralis University?”
“We shouldn’t do that, Fernanda! Let’s just check it ourselves. We don’t have to put it onto the big screen!” Trina said, not intending to stop her cousin at all.
Suddenly, Fernanda took the microphone and said, “Can I have your attention please, everyone. Bonnie said she could get into Pyralis University. I have her student ID in my hands. Let’s all witness this critical moment. Let’s see if she can really get into the university.”
Bonnie was listening to Kay’s ramblings when she heard Fernanda and raised her head to look at the big screen. Fernanda had logged into the website to check the SAT scores. She was keying in her student ID and name.
Gresham and Vera wished they could run away right there and then. The other guests, however, were eager to see how this would turn out.
Fernanda finished typing in the necessary details and clicked ‘Enter.‘
Chapter 53
Bonnie had a full score on the SATs! That meant she was going to win the Best Scholar Award!
Everyone was rooted to the spot and could not move an inch. It was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
“No, no, no. This can’t be true. I must have typed in the wrong information. This has to be someone else’s score,” Fernanda stuttered and stared at the big screen.
But Bonnie’s name was displayed on the big screen, clear as day.
Maybe it was a different person with the same name?
Fernanda dismissed the thought as soon as it popped up. Trina had given her the student ID. It had to
be Bonnie.
Trina was enraged. She clenched her hands on her outfit.
Impossible… What gave Bonnie the right? How could she get a perfect score? Bonnie was supposed to be a nobody, someone she could insult for an eternity!
“Have we underestimated Bonnie?” Hadwin had a complicated expression on his face.
Trina turned her head toward him and watched as his eyes traveled from the big screen to Bonnie. There was no longer disdain in his eyes. Instead, he was scanning her with mild interest.
Trina was agitated and full of hate. She had jumped through hoops to nab Hadwin from Bonnie and she wasn’t about to let Bonnie take him away from her!
Awesome, Bonnie. This is really surprising. You said Bonnie always skipped classes and flunked her tests, Hadwin. How do you think she managed to pull this off?”
Trina deliberately put it in a way that would mislead Hadwin. Just like that, he looked at her smugly
and said, “I’m guessing she cheated. She’s a nobody. How else could she have won the Best Scholar Award? The authorities will probably get her very soon to revoke her status as the winner and ban her
for life.”
That would be the best possible outcome! She couldn’t wait for that to happen.
Gresham and Vera could hardly recover from the shock. When they finally came to their senses, they heard Trina and Hadwin’s exchange. So, it turned out Bonnie had cheated on the SAT.
What were they going to do now? They’d be mortified if an investigation confirmed what she had
done!
With that in mind, they went over to Bonnie. “Tell us the truth. Did you cheat?”
Bonnie thought they wouldn’t suspect her of anything now, since the results were clear for everyone to see. However, they were still choosing not to believe her.
“Are you going to buy whatever Trina throws at you? What do you think the SATs are? Do you think
the teachers wouldn’t notice any cheating? Do you think it’s so easy to cheat and get a full score?”
Harold knew what she was saying. It was just hard to accept that Bonnie had won the Best Scholar
Award.
When Trina saw that Bonnie had once again gained the upper hand, she was so agitated she almost tore at her outfit. But there was no responding to Bonnie’s flawless explanation!
“Well done, Bonnie. You’ve finally made us proud.” Harold thought it over and decided to pat Bonnie
on the shoulder.
Chapter 54
“You did a good job on the SATS, Bonnie. We haven’t made you any good food yet. Tell me your favorite food and I’ll make it myself.” Vera went along with Harold,
Trina glared at Bonnie. It wasn’t just Gresham and Vera. Even Hadwin was looking at Bonnie differently now that she had explained herself.
She couldn’t let this go on. She had to do something
“Congratulations, Bonnie! I have no idea how you did it. Maybe it was luck, or maybe you just happened to study the bits that were part of the SATs.
“In any case, you did it. You’re free to take any of my jewelry to celebrate your success.”
“How thoughtful, Trina!” Gresham and Vera looked at her happily.
But Bonnie looked at Trina indifferently. She had to give it to Trina. She might be more intelligent than her, but she could never be as much of a bitch as Trina was.
al, everyone form
Look at her! As soon as she said about the way she had led them down the wrong train of thought.
“Yeah, she’s so thoughtful that she accused me of bringing a counterfeit. Grandma even tore it up. She’s so thoughtful that she gave Fernanda my student ID and embarrassed me in front of everyone.”
Trina was shocked beyond words. Gresham and Vera were tense, their faces stiff.
“D–Don’t try to accuse me of something, Bonnie. I didn’t give Fernanda your student ID. Try asking her. You’ll see.”
Fernanda was prepared to defend Trina because she had given her word, but Bonnie spoke before she
could.
“Think before you speak, Fernanda. Are you sure you want to clean up Trina’s mess? How would you have known my student ID if Trina hadn’t given it to you? Are you going to tell me that you sneaked in my room to get it?”
Fernanda could think of nothing to say.
“If you have stolen it, I’ll have to call the police.” Bonnie took out her phone.
Fernanda’s eyes widened. “What a load of crap! How would I have done that? Trina gave
it to me!”
Gresham and Vera whipped their heads around to look at Trina, their eyes full of shock. Trina had always been a good girl. They couldn’t believe she had done that!
“I–I didn’t…” Trina was in a full–on panic now. “Mom, Dad, I can explain…”
“How are you going to do that? Are you going to say Fernanda lied?” There was a hint of mockery in Bonnie’s eyes.
“I didn’t lie! Trina gave me Bonnie’s student ID, I swear!” Fernanda tried to clear her name
immediately.
Tears started falling from Trina’s eyes. “How could you say that, Fernanda? I gave it to you because you told me you wouldn’t tell a soul. You were the one who wanted to reveal her score to everyone. I told you to keep it between us, but you insisted on projecting it on the big screen.”
“Yeah. You’re right. I wanted to project it on the big screen. But could I have done that if you hadn’t given me her student ID? It all comes back to you, Trina/
“That’s too much, Fernanda!”
“I’m too much? Don’t you think you’re too much? At the end of the day, Bonnie’s your sister. I know she isn’t really related to you, but you’re in the same family. Whenever you humiliate her, you humiliate the entire family too, including yourself. Is that so hard to understand?
“The way I see it, you understand perfectly. You just don’t care. You gave me her student ID on purpose because you wanted to humiliate her.”
Trina had to admit that Fernanda had hit home.
She was shocked to the core and stole a glance at Gresham and Vera.

“I didn’t lie! Trina gave me Bonnie’s student ID, I swear!” Fernanda tried to clear her name immediately.
Tears started falling from Trina’s eyes. “How could you say that, Fernanda? I gave it to you because you told me you wouldn’t tell a soul. You were the one who wanted to reveal her score to everyone. told you to keep it between us, but you insisted on projecting it on the big screen.

“Yeah. You’re right. I wanted to project it on the big screen. But could I have done that if you hadn’t given me her student ID? It all comes back to you, Trina!”
“That’s too much, Fernanda!”

Trina had to admit that Fernanda had hit home.
She was shocked to the core and stole a glance at Gresham and Vera.
Chapter 55
Gresham and Vera stared at Trina with a mix of disappointment and distrust.
Trina was so stressed at seeing them like that that she cried even harder. “How could you say that, Fernanda? I was just worried about Bonnie’s SATs, that’s all. And I only happened to see her student ID by chance…”
“Heh. You just happened to see it, but you took a picture of it. Let me ask you a question. What were you plotting?”
“L… Um… You really let me down, Fernanda. I told you about that because I trusted you. You deliberately projected it onto the big screen to humiliate my parents because Grandpa gave his company to my father. I know you and your parents have a grudge over that and want to take the company back for yourselves.”
“Motherfucker! How could you be so fucking shameless, Trina?!” Fernanda couldn’t stand it anymore. She rolled up her sleeves and yanked at Trina’s hair.
“Ow. My hair! It hurts!”
Just like that, they began fighting each other.
Bonnie just sat aside and sipped on her drink as the two other women struggled with each other. She looked relaxed. Amused, even.
“Holy crap! This is big motherfucking news!” Ged burst into Ivor’s office.
Ivor raised his head. “Are you feeling okay?”
Ged picked up a glass of water and drank it. “I have the biggest scoop for you!”
“What is it? Do you really have to be so dramatic?” Ivor lowered his head and continued to work.
“Look at you. Did you know the SAT scores are out today?”
To be honest, Ivor had never paid attention to the SAT scores, but it did pique his interest this time.
“Do you know how your fiancé did on the SATs?”
“I didn’t ask her.” He was worried it would make things awkward. After all, she didn’t exactly do well on her usual tests.
“I knew it. If you knew about her scores, you wouldn’t react like this. Take a guess. How do you think she scored?”
He frowned, a little displeased. “You know she doesn’t do well in tests, but you came all the way here to tell me about it. Are you trying to make fun of her? Let me tell you something, Ged. I’ll look past this because you’re my buddy, but I won’t let it slide if you mock her to her face.”
Ged was
as stunned when he felt Ivor’s animosity. He looked at his friend with wide eyes.
“H–have you really fallen in love with her?! Are you finally going to get a girlfriend?”
Ivor didn’t deny it. “I’ll spend some time with her and see where it leads us, for starters.”
“Damn straight! You’re going to give it a try! Bonnie had the perfect score! She’s won the Best Scholar Award!” Ged said excitedly.
Ivor’s eyes widened. “Are you kidding?”
“Do you think I’d kid around with this?” Ged had always been the mischievous type, but he looked very stern at that moment.
“How did you find out about this?”
“You know her grandparents‘ birthday party was today, right? Word is that Bonnie has a cousin, Fernanda, who wants to make her a laughing stock. And I’m sure you know about Trina, the girl who’s allegedly from a wealthy family. I’m not sure how, but she got her hands on Bonnie’s student
1. ID.
“They worked together to project Bonnie’s SAT scores onto the big screen at the party. Hahaha. This is the funny part. They wanted to make fun of Bonnie, but they ended up being the laughing stock themselves!” Ged was very pleased.
“I have something I need to say, and you might not like to hear it. We were wrong about Bonnie, Ivor. She’s an extremely talented woman. Don’t you like competent women?
“Many women from wealthy families have tried to approach you in the past, but you thought they were all too sheltered. They couldn’t do anything besides act cute, and they only ever learned some run–of–the–mill skills. That’s why you didn’t like any of them.
“But Bonnie is very skilled. Your mom was right. You wouldn’t deserve her if we stripped you of your status as CEO of the Knight Group.”
Ivor fell silent for a while, then started writing Bonnie a message.
Ged leaned over and tried to read it.
“Beep!”
Bonnie received a text.
Chapter 56
“Is it true you won the Best Scholar Award?”
That was fast.
“Yep.” Bonnie replied.
“Congratulations.”
“Thank you.”
“Is there anything you want to eat? Let’s celebrate tonight. It’ll be my treat.”
“Mom and Dad are celebrating with me tonight, so I won’t be going back to your place.” Ivor raised
his brow at that.
Ged said, “Your agreement was for a month, and it’s been well over half a month. You need to drag this out for as long as you can! Tell Bonnie she has to extend your agreement by a day if she goes back to her place tonight.”
“Would that be okay?” Ivor’s eyes were as dark as night.
“What’s wrong with that? Are you embarrassed? Come on! You’re trying to win your future wife’s heart. Who cares about your pride?” Ivor was already composing a text as Ged was in the middle of his speech.
He leaned over and smiled at what he saw. Ivor had sent Bonnie a text that read, “Our agreement was for a month. You’re taking a day out of it to go back to your place. Because of that, we need to extend the agreement by ten more days. I’m sorry, but it’s Grandpa’s orders.”
In the evening, Bonnie’s group chat was flooded with texts.
“Am I dreaming? Bonnie really got into Pyralis University! Do you guys know she got the Best Scholar Award too? She got the perfect score!‘
“Damn straight. She’s shattering my worldview. Isn’t she just a nobody? Didn’t she always get last place in the entire school?”
“Anyway, what about the bet…?”
“Can you please not talk about that? That was just a joke. Bonnie wouldn’t take it seriously.”
At that moment, Bonnie, who had never said anything in the group, sent a text.
“I’m dead serious about the bet.”
For a moment, the group chat was silent.
Bonnie’s lips curled into a mischievous smile and she typed, “Did you really think I was going to let it slide just because I didn’t say anything? Let me remind you, it was you who suggested shaving your heads. We even recorded a video about this.”
It was pointless to keep cowering in fear. Since Sacha was the class head, she took the lead and texted, “Just let this go, Bonnie. We’re all classmates, and anyway, none of us took it seriously.”
Just like that, everyone else went along with her.
“Yeah! Don’t be so petty, Bonnie. It was just a joke among classmates. You’re the only one who took it so seriously.”
“We wouldn’t have brought it up if you had lost the bet.”
“Seconded.”
Bonnie smirked. “None of you took it seriously? You all spread the word about this, I’m sure you did it because you wanted to stop me from going back on my word when I lost the bet.
“Look at the way you talked to me. Do you think I’m some kind of fool? The fact is, I’m the one who won the Best Scholar Award. I’m definitely smarter than all of you, so don’t bother playing the victim. I see right through you.
Everyone was alarmed. They could think of nothing to say to her!
“Save your breath and start shaving your heads. I’ll release the video to the public if you don’t honor the bet. I won’t stop at the internet either. I’ll send a copy to your future colleges and workplaces as
well.”
Chapter 57
Everyone was in a full–on panie now. They started another group chat without Bonnie,
“What are we going to do? If Bonnie really does what she says, we won’t be able to show our faces anywhere.”
“Why is she being so mean?”
“Bonnie’s exactly the type of mean girl you’d never want to meet.”
The abrupt silence from the group chat told Bonnie everything she needed to know. She was sure the others were having a discussion in a new group chat.
It was all but certain they were insulting her behind her back, but she wasn’t bothered. She wasn’t about to go easy on them, either. After all, she was no saint. They had brought this upon themselves.
In the end, everyone in the new group asked Sacha for help.
“Dwayne’s your boyfriend, Sacha. Ask him if he can help us out.”
“Agreed.”
“Seconded.”
That was what Sacha was thinking too. She called Dwayne. “I need a favor, honey…”
The next day, Bonnie went to the place Sacha had told her to go, but Dwayne was there instead of
Sacha.
“What are you doing here?” Bonnie frowned. Dwayne was acting all gentlemanly. He gave her the
menu and asked, “See anything you like? Go ahead and order whatever you want. It’s my treat.”
She didn’t even bother looking at the menu. “Did Sacha ask you to settle our dispute?”
“What a smart girl!” Dwayne gave her a thumbs up. “The Best Scholar in the city, I see! I used to think you were just a pretty girl. Imagine my surprise when you got the perfect score and got yourself into Pyralis University.
“Sacha keeps telling me you cheated your way to the Best Scholar Award. She’s a silly girl. There’s no way that happened.”
Bonnie frowned and said, “Aren’t you here on Sacha’s behalf? What’s going on?”
“You’re a smart girl. I think you know what I mean.” Dwayne scanned her figure lecherously.
She noticed and stared at him menacingly. “So, you still want me?”
He clapped twice and said, “See? You’re smart. It’s not hard to talk to you at all, not like Sacha. She’s so foolish. She might have obeyed all my whims and wishes, but it felt too easy at times.
“There’s no sense of achievement in conquering her. I’ve had enough time to be tired of her. You, on
the other hand, are different. You’re smart, and you’re the Best Scholar in the city. Your family background is better than Sacha’s too.
My parents would be much happier if I married you. We’ll talk about marriage after you meet them in two days. After all, I’m not getting any younger. As for school, I guess you can continue to study.
But you’ll have to leave school for a while when you’re pregnant.
My parents are kind of hard to deal with. They’re not exactly healthy, too, so I’ll expect you to back off if there’s any conflict in the future. They’ll be your in–laws, after all.”
“Heh.” Bonnie sneered.
“What are you smirking at?
“Your shamelessness amuses me! Do you even look in the mirror before you walk out the door? I feel
so gross just sitting across the table looking at your perverted mug. How dare you make a list of demands? You’re disgusting!”
With that, she rose without a second thought and started to leave. Dwayne got up immediately and stopped her.
“There’s no need to get so worked up about this. My demands aren’t that outrageous. After all, the Moss family is much wealthier than the Shepard family. You’ll be marrying into a better family.
He took out a bank card. “There’s a million dollars in this. It’s yours if you agree to marry me.
She took the bank card without so much as a pause and threw it at Dwayne’s face.
“Ow!” The card cut his face.
She sneered as she looked at him. “You’re not even fit to lick my boots. Get out of here, you gross pig.”
Dwayne burst into rage and started threatening her. “Fuck you. You were lucky I had my eye on you. I’m warning you, Bonnie. Don’t be so ungrateful! I’ll give you one last chance. Come to me and give me a kiss. Otherwise, I’ll…”
Bonnie turned and left before he had finished talking.
“Damn it! How dare you embarrass me!”
Chapter 58
Dwayne ran after Bonnie aggressively and grabbed her shoulder. Bonnie turned around, gripped his arm, and hurled him over her shoulder. He flew through the air for half a second before falling heavily through a table.
“Ouch! Ow!” He screamed pitifully.
Bonnie raised her hands and brushed her shoulder as if something filthy had touched it and left without so much as a glance at Dwayne.
Sacha popped her head out of a corner not long after Bonnie left and stared daggers at her. If she hadn’t sneaked in here, she wouldn’t have known that Dwayne had a thing for Bonnie for a long time. He even wanted to marry her.
She had worked her fingers to the bone to be with Dwayne. She had bet everything on him and she wasn’t going to let Bonnie take him away from her. With that in mind, she made a phone call. “I need a few guys…”
Bonnie went straight to the research institute after she left the restaurant. The professors crowded around her as soon as she got in.
“You’re here at last, Ms. Bonita. I’ve run into a dead end with my research and it’s been bothering me for a long time. I need your help.”
“Make way and line up. You’ve seen many winters, old timer. Don’t you know you should wait your turn?”
“There’s something you should know, Ms. Bonita. Do you remember when you announced the collaboration with the Knight Group?
“Well, someone from the Knight Group called us and said their CEO would like to meet up with you. and talk about the nanomaterial. They want to better understand it to leverage its potential value.”
Did that mean Ivor wanted to meet her?
Bonnie thought it over and said, “I won’t meet him in person. I’ll just text him.”
“Alright. Do you need his number?”
“Just give me his Telegram, please.” She had Ivor’s number, but she didn’t have his Telegram account.
“Loud and clear. I’ll see to it.”
She received Ivor’s Telegram account and added him.
Ivor stopped the work he was doing and started texting her.
“Hello, Ms. Bonita.”
“Hello.”
“I’d like to understand more about the latest nanomaterial.”
“Sure.”
Ged watched as Ivor chatted away with the science prodigy. He was so jealous!
“Give me her Telegram account, Ivor.”
“What are you going to do with it?” Ivor asked, puzzled.
Ged straightened his chest and said, “I’m going to brag about it, of course! If my friends know I have Ms. Bonita’s Telegram, they’ll be green with envy.”
who
Ivor looked away from him. “I can’t believe you’d pester her over something so trivial. Anyway, do you think Ms. Bonita is? Do you think she’ll accept your request? Maybe you should save yourself the embarrassment.”
“Geez. Would you listen to yourself…?”
‘Creak.‘ Ivor’s office door swung open as Floyd entered with a document in hand.
“We for this, Mr. Ivor. It’s urgent.”
As Ivor put down his phone to sign the document, Ged took it away, opened Bonita’s profile, and memorized her account.
“Cut it out, Ged!” It was too late. Ged had added her on Telegram.
Ivor rolled his eyes at Ged and said, “I told you. It doesn’t mean she’ll accept your request.” “You don’t know that! I just might get a lucky break!”
Chapter 59
Cied looked at his phone and almost jumped with joy
“Tahabal Lean’Chelleve it the accepted my request! Ms. Bonita and are friends on Telegram!”
Ivon looked at him in surprise and checked his phone. It was like he said. She had accepted his request.
“What did you say to her ”
“I said I was Ivor’s buddy and told her my name. She accepted my request just like that! I guess it can’t be helped. I’m really charming, after all!” Ged couldn’t stop smiling
Ivor couldn’t help but feel that this was strange, “Maybe she wanted to reject you but she just accidentally clicked accept.”
“Are you looking down on me?” Ged wasn’t happy about this.
“You can always send her a text if you don’t believe me. Let’s see if she replies to you.”
Ged didn’t really want to do it. What would he do if Ivor was right and Bonita deleted him from her contacts afterward?
Ivor saw through him and said, “Forget it. I don’t think it’s a good idea. If she deletes you from your contacts, you’ll get upset.
Ged hadn’t wanted to do it, but he had no choice now. He’d look bad if he didn’t go ahead with it after
what Ivor said.
“Do you think I’m scared? Let’s do it.” Ged wrote a brief text and sent it to Bonita.
“Hello, Ms. Bonita.”
Ged grew so nervous that he began to sweat.
Ivor shook his head and turned to continue his work.
“Beep!” Ivor raised his head sharply and looked at Ged’s phone.
Ged was pleasantly surprised. He showed Ivor his phone. “Look at this. Ms. Bonita replied to my text! She said, ‘Hello.‘ Hahaha. I knew it. I’m just too charming. She didn’t just accept my request by
accident.
Ivor stroked his chin. Was Bonita really that easy to deal with?
Ged received another text from Bonita just as Ivor was thinking.
“Do you play League of Legends?” Bonnie had seen Ged play it once, and he was good at it.
“Holy crap! Ms. Bonita is chatting with me now!” Ged jumped around the office happily with his phone in hand.
“Sure I do. I’m really good at it too!”
Bonnie replied, “How about we team up?”
“Oh, shit. Holy shit! I can’t believe Ms. Bonita is asking to team up with me! This is completely unexpected! I’m
g to post this online and tell all my friends. They’re going to be so jealous. Hahaha!”
As Ivor looked at the overjoyed Ged, he began to doubt everything he knew. It was baffling that Bonita, a science prodigy, would ask to team up with Ged, a good–for–nothing from a wealthy family.
Bonnie spent an entire afternoon playing the game with Ged and did a little work at the research institute before she left.
The night brought a cool and refreshing breeze. Bonnie liked it so much she decided to walk back
home.
After a while, she realized someone was following her.
“Who is it?” She stopped and turned around. Sacha showed up with several men, all of them armed
with weapons.
“What’s the meaning of this?” Bonnie said calmly.
CHAPTER 60
“Impressive, Bonnie. Given the circumstances, I can’t believe you’re still acting cool.”
“If you’re just here to talk trash, I’m not interested. Out with it.” Bonnie sounded annoyed.
“Don’t you know what’s going on? Your life is in my hands. How dare you talk to me in that tone?
“You’re still talking trash,” Bonnie said absently.
“Why, you little…!” Sacha was furious, but she remembered why she was here and suppressed her anger. “I’m warning you, Bonnie. Stay away from Dwayne!”
So that was why she was here.
“Are you sure you have your facts right? Dwayne was the one who tried to come on to me shamelessly. He might be from a wealthy family and likes to dress fancy, but he’s just a useless bastard. I’m really grossed out by him. I know he’s slept with lots of women. Don’t worry. I’ll never try to take him away from you.”
“How dare you say he’s gross!”
“Aren’t I telling the truth? I refuse to believe that you don’t know what kind of guy he is. You can fill an entire cruise ship with the women he’s slept with.
“I’m a little confused. You’re a decent student and you come from a decent family. Why do want
you someone like him? Don’t you feel grossed out when you’re with him?”
Sacha wished she could cut Bonnie’s tongue out right there and then. “I know why you said those nasty things. You’re trying to say that the man I desperately want is trash to you. You’re just trying to
humiliate me before marrying Dwayne yourself!”
Bonnie shook her head and said, “You’re so stupid. You’re beyond help.”
“Did you just call me stupid?”
“Am I wrong? You have a good life ahead of you, but you’re squandering it for the sake of that pig.”
“Damn! You! One last time, Bonnie. Are you going to keep pestering Dwayne? Are you going to take away my rightful place as his future wife?”
“Tsk.” Bonnie didn’t want to waste any more time with this idiot, so she turned and left.
“Hold it!”
Bonnie kept walking.
Sacha lost it as Bonnie continued to ignore her.
“Hey! Stop her, all of you! If she refuses to cooperate, beat her up! There’s no security cameras here, so you have nothing to worry about.”

The men she hired surrounded Bonnie at once.
“We don’t really want to do this, pretty lady, but we need the money. Sorry!”
“Tsk tsk tsk. What a shame. I’ve never slept with a woman as pretty as her. In fact, I’ve never even seen someone like her. I wonder how it would feel to punch you.
Bonnie squinted and wagged a finger at them. “Come at me if you want to get beaten up.
“Geez! She’s still talking tough. No wonder she made Ms. Sacha so mad.”
“Come on, guys. She’s taunting us. Move in on her.” The hired men approached her as they spoke, looking at Bonnie lecherously.
Bonnie swept the floor with them in no time.
Sacha gawked, her eyes full of shock. She had seen the way Bonnie threw Dwayne over her shoulder earlier that day. She knew that Bonnie was kind of skilled, but she had hired experienced fighters! She could hardly believe that Bonnie had taken care of them like it was nothing.
Suddenly, the sound of police sirens rang through the air, and they were all surrounded by police
officers.
