Ch. 891..900

Chapter 891

"I beg to differ. Look at Coleman's hands. He didn't bring anything with him at all.”

"Eh? I think you're right. If he isn't here to give Bonnie a Valentine's Day gift, then why is he here? Did he come just to speak up for her?"

"Why is it so hard to figure it out? Obviously, he's just here to keep up appearances. He comes from a wealthy family. There's no way he would come empty-handed and not give Bonnie anything on Valentine's Day."

"You make a fine point. I also think he's here just for show."

Bonnie had been wearing a pair of earphones the entire time. Then, she saw Coleman and took it off.

She sounded puzzled when she asked him, "What are you doing here, Coleman?"

He stared at her flawlessly delicate face, and his heart started pounding like crazy.

'How I wish I could prepare a Valentine's Day gift for her and see the excitement on her face. I'd love to get her praise and validation.

'She's just such an incredible lady. What right do I have to be giving her a gift on Valentine's Day? If I do it, I just might lose her as a friend for good...'

The more he thought about it, the more his eyes dimmed. He looked at her with conflicting feelings.

"Bonnie..."

She thought there was something strange about him. "Is something wrong, Coleman?"

He gathered his composure immediately and forced a smile.

"I-It's nothing. I'm just here to tell you that what they said doesn't define you. So, don't let them bother you."

"Oh. Is that why you came here?"Chapter

Bonnie finally understood. She

shrugged at him and said, "You don't

have to comfort me over something so insignificant, though. I don't about what they say."

He let out a sigh of relief and said, "T-That's great."

"Yeah." She responded faintly. Coleman went silent, too.

An eerie silence hung over the both of them.

Everyone else in the lecture hall was holding their breath. They were so ready to see how this would unfold. They wanted to see if Coleman would pull out a gift and give it to Bonnie.

He stared at her before tearing his gaze away reluctantly.

"I'm going to leave now, Bonnie. Let me know if anyone picks on you and badmouths you again. I'll be back to teach them a lesson!"

'I might not be able to give her a gift, but I can certainly teach people lessons for her sake.'

She responded with a smile, "I got it.

I don't really need you to come all

the way here to teach them a lesson, but I'm happy that you made the

offer."

'None of these ladies have said anything that triggered me. That's why I left them alone. Otherwise, I would've beaten the crap out of them myself.'

 

Chapter 892

"Okay." Cole responded and glanced at Bonnie again.

He didn't have a good reason to stay in the lecture hall anymore. So, he didn't overstay his welcome.

"I'll take my leave, then."

"Okay. See you again." She waved at him.

"Goodbye, Bonnie." He left quickly.

The moment he was gone, everyone in the hall started discussing again.

"Did he seriously just leave without giving her a Valentine's Day gift? I knew it. Coleman was just fooling around with her.

"She's nothing but a joke to me now. How absurd."

"Heh heh heh... No one gave her any gifts today. She had it coming."

All of them raised their voices deliberately, so Bonnie could hear them.

Avril couldn't stand it anymore. She shot up from her seat, gritted her teeth, and pointed at them furiously.

"You guys are the worst!"

"Heh! What makes you think you could lecture us? Did we hurt you as well? Do you not have anyone giving you a Valentine's Day gift?"

"Yeah. Vincent's right. You don't have any gifts either. Obviously, you're not charming at all! Am I right, people?"

Everyone started laughing.

Thud!

A loud noise came out of nowhere.

It turned out Bonnie banged her table. Then, she stood up and swept her cold, unfeeling eyes across the lecture hall.

All of them felt a chill down theirnoveldrama

spine and didn't dare to meet her gaze. However, it only lasted a second before they came to their senses. The fact that she banged her fable only served to encourage them to mock her.

"What did you bang the table for? Are we wrong? Haven't you always crowned yourself as a beautiful lady who's surrounded by a group of good-looking guys? Pray, tell. Why didn't you get a single gift om Valentine's Day?"

"Did our words hurt you? Is that why you're this upset?"

"That makes sense. We must've hurt both her and her friend with what we said. Why else would she be this worked up? Am I right, people?"

"Heh heh heh..." Bonnie couldn't help but sneer, a hint of sarcasm flashed in her eyes.

"Listen to yourselves. Is that how you determine your worth, by seeing if you get any gifts from other people? If that's truly what you think, then you'll have to excuse me for what I'm about to say.

"You guys are the shallowest people

I've ever seen. There's nothing left that's worth doing in your lives other than comparing yourselves with other people. What's worse, you are students of Pyralis University, and yet you still have such a trashy mindset.

"I feel sad when I look at you guys because you're proof that mankind has taken a step back in the evolution department."

All of them were so stunned that they were frozen to where they stood or sat. None of them could think of anything to retort to her.

Realizing that no one would speak, she decided she had wasted enough time on them. So, she took a seat and read her document.

Avril gave her a thumbs up. "You might've kept quiet most of the time, but you shock everyone when you do say something! What a perfect comeback! That'll teach them to mess with you!"

'The ladies were only able to spout nonsense arrogantly because Bonnie hadn't said anything. Now that she has finally spoken, they couldn't even make a peep.

'Gosh. It's so liberating seeing these clowns getting stumped by what Bonnie said!'

Bonnie giggled. Reaching out, she patted Avril's arm.

"Alright. That's enough. I need to go through these documents."

Avril nodded. "Alright. Okay. I'll stop talking and leave you to it."

"Great," Bonnie responded. Putting on her earphones, she continued to read the document.

 

Chapter 893

Avril thought that her classmates would stop spouting nonsense after Bonnie had taken them down a peg.

Little did she know that they doubled down on it when Bonnie went away to the toilet.

"Tsk! It's actually a simple matter, but she just has to make it sound so deep and meaningful. Did she think she's the only one who's educated and well-read? Do we look like uncivilized apes to her?

"If you ask me, she's just embarrassed and upset that she didn't receive any gift. That's why she shut us up with what she said. She's trying to make us feel bad."

"That's what I thought, too. After all, she has been nothing but cocky all the time about how popular she is. Now, however, she received nothing on Valentine's Day. I'm sure she feels miserable." "She purposely put it that way to mask her real feelings. Don't let her bother us, guys."

"That's right. What she said is meaningless."

Bonnie might've left, but Avril was still sitting in her seat.Chapter

Without Bonnie there to stop her, she couldn't hold herself back anymore, especially after she heard the kind of nonsense her classmates were saying.

"Are your lives dry and boring? Meaningless, even? Otherwise, why do you guys keep focusing on other people's lives?

"Have you gotten a handle on your life? What about your grades in university? Are you half as incredible as Bonnie is? All it takes to make you feel proud are the gifts. I swear, I have no idea how your minds work!"

With that, she couldn't help but bolt out of the lecture hall and give Ivor a phone call.

'Bonnie might not mind it, but I just can't let it go. If it's gifts they want, then that's what they're going to get! Let's see if they could act cockily after this!

'I'm going to show them what Bonnie's fiancé is made of. They're going to be so jealous that they'll die on the spot!"

Ivor was surprised when he got a call from Avril.

"Is that you, Avril? Why are you calling me at this time of day? Did something happen to Bonnie?"

Avril responded sternly, "Exactly! Something big happened to her on campus!"

At the next moment, he shot up from his seat and ended the important meeting he was in.

"Speak. What in the world happened?!"

The top management staff in the conference room exchanged glances for a moment. Then, they thought about how Ivor announced on his official Twitter account that he was engaged and smiledo deliberately.

"As expected, only his fiancé could work him up this much."

"They're a young couple. It's only normal that they feel this strongly for each other. Not even someone as cold and aloof as Ivor is an exception to that rule."

"Sigh. We've all gone through the same stuff. So, we could see where he comes from. Now that he's away to deal with matters concerning his fiance, all we have to do is wait for him here."

At first, Floyd considered stepping forward to explain the reason his master left so abruptly. However, he heard their conversation and stopped in his tracks.

'This is wonderful. The top management staff understood Ivor's situation. On top of that, they were rooting for Ivor and Bonnie too. I don't think I have to explain anything to them now.'

On the other side, Ivor was listening to Avril explain the entire situation in the hallway. She told him that no one gave Bonnie any gifts and that their classmates were looking down on her. The longer he listened to her, the gloomier his expression became. By the end of it, his face was terrifying.

Avril's throat was dry from talking this much, her tone brimming with anger.

"You weren't there, Ivor. You have no

idea how outrageous our

I'm

classmates are! They're still badmouthing her as we speak!. sure they won't let Bonnie live it down if no one sends her a

OV

Valentine's Day gift.

"That's why you have to move fast, Ivor! Are you going to stand by and do nothing while they continue to mock her?"

"Got it," Ivor responded briefly and summoned his assistant.

"Floyd."

At the next moment, Floyd showed up in the hallway. "Is there anything you need, Mr. Ivor?"

"I need you to do something for me." He proceeded to relay his borders to Floyd.

Floyd was stunned for a moment before he nodded swiftly. "Alright, Mr. Ivor. Consider it done."

 

Chapter 894

Back in the lecture hall, Avril was calmly scrolling her phone while sitting next to Bonnie. Then, she saw something and got so upset that she smacked the table and shot up from her seat. "This is just outrageous!"

At the next moment, a lot of classmates turned their gazes on her. She met their confused stares and realized that she was still in the lecture hall. So, she sat down, embarrassed, before reaching out to tug at Bonnie's sleeves.

"Bonnie. Hey, Bonnie."

On the other hand, Bonnie had her earphones on and was completely engrossed in reading her document. So, she didn't notice Avril. She was still paddling in the sea of knowledge when Avril tugged at her sleeves.

Taking off her earphones, she looked at Avril and asked, puzzled, "What's the matter?"Chapter

Avril gnashed her teeth and showed Bonnie her phone.

"Look at them. I swear, they've got no better things to do! They started a topic on the internet, saying that you didn't receive a gift on Valentine's Day! What's worse, there are a bunch of people who blindly listen to them and lob insults at you.

"Seriously, what in the world are they thinking? Is receiving a gift on Valentine's Day something worthy of being proud of? You know what? I can't take it. I have to teach them a lesson on the Internet. Otherwise, they're going to twist the story about you into something horrible!"

'I know I told Ivor about it, but I just can't let it go. These people are just ridiculous. How dare they talk about Bonnie this way? Do they even know how great she is?

'Their so-called achievements don't hold a candle to what Bonnie has done. Just where did they find the guts to belittle her this way?

'I would've told them about her identity as Bonita and given them a good scare if Bonnie had allowed me to do so. They've badmouthed her so much. How would they react to that revelation, I wonder? Let's see if they say anything bad about Bonnie then!'

Bonnie heard what she said and held her hand immediately. Then, she shook her head at her.

"Forget it. They can say whatever they like. Just ignore them. I don't care about it anyway."

"It might not have bothered you, but we can't just sit here. Otherwise, they're going to double down on it and say something even more terrible."

The more Avril thought about it, the

angrier she got. At the same time she was impressed by Bonnie's emotional intelligence. The whole thing had gotten worse, andŷet she was still this calm.

"It's okay." Bonnie sounded indifferent. "We don't waste our time, arguing with incompetent fools All that matters is that we did our best with our lives."

"Ugh... I don't even know how to respond to that."

'I'm pissed off, but Bonnie has said her piece. There's nothing else I can say now.

'Bah! Forget it. I'm not going to intervene anymore!

'In any case, they can only feel good about themselves for a while longer. Ivor's going to make his move, and he's going to make them eat their words soon!'

"It doesn't bother me. So, don't get

so upset over it. I don't want you to have any health issues because of the likes of them." Bonnie still fooked very calm. Clearly, she wasn't affected by them at all.

"You say that, but I'm mad that they talked about you that way." Avril was so upset that her face was all puffed up.

Bonnie found that a little cute and reached out to pinch Avril's cheeks.

"Alright. That's enough. Didn't you say you couldn't level up your character in that mobile game? Hurry up and log on. I'm going to carry you."

That stunned Avril a little. She was pleasantly surprised to hear what Bonnie said.

"A-Aren't you reading your document? Are you sure you have the time to play the game with me?"

'In fact, I wanted to ask her to help me level up my character a long time ago. It's just that she has been extremely busy. So, I didn't even ask her about it.

'I'm so surprised that she's offering to do that now. How exciting."

 

Chapter 895

"I can't keep working now, can I? It's good for me to entertain myself once in a while." Bonnie pulled out her phone and booted the game. "Come on. Don't make me play this game by myself." Realizing that Bonnie fully intended to play the game, Avril booted the game on her phone too.

"Alright. Let's do it! Given how fast and proficient you are at the game, I'll bet I could level up my character by 20 levels today."

Smiling, Bonnie said, "That's nothing. I'll bet I could help you level up your character by 50 levels."Chapter

"Really? That's wonderful! Come on, let's play." Avril couldn't wait until she powered up her character to be one of the best players in the game. The other players would admire her so much. Seeing that Avril was smiling again, Bonnie couldn't help but grin as well.

'It's a good thing that it's so easy to make her happy.'

Outside the lecture hall, Coleman saw the relieved smile on Bonnie's face and let out a sigh of relief internally.

'I just might've mustered my courage and bought a gift at the mall for her if it seemed like she was bothered by what was going down on the internet.

'Given her character, though, I know she's not going to be bothered by it. Now, I see the truth. She isn't bothered in the least. Actually, that could be why I'm so attracted to her.'

He was still in the middle of his thought when his phone, which was in his pocket, started buzzing.

Pulling it out, he realized it was his mentor, Elliana.

He walked away to somewhere quiet before answering her call. "What's the matter, Ms. Elliana?”

The old lady spoke in a warm, humorous voice. "It's Valentine's Day today. Did you prepare a gift for Bonnie?"

On the other hand, he sounded a little defeated. "Not at all."

That gave her a shock. "Don't you love her? Today's the best day to let her know about your feelings. Why didn't you prepare anything?"

"Well... Bonnie's so far above me.

Trust me, I wanted to give her a gift and confess to her, too. However, don't think I have what it takes to do it yet. thave to attain the same level of achievement as she did before I consider myself her equal.

"Only then will I have enough courage to do anything like that. Furthermore, I believe you know her character well. What am I going to do if she rejects me and stops being friends with me?"

Elliana pondered on it and thought he made a fine point. With that said, she still wanted to motivate her apprentice to give it a shot.

"Bonnie is extremely incredible. That

much is true. However, how are you supposed to have a chance until you take the lead and do something? You'll regret it big time if someone else acted faster and stole her away from you."

He curled his fingers and wrestled with himself.

'Elliana's right. I want to give it a shot and see what Bonnie thinks of me. However, I wonder if I should do something like this.

'In fact, what's the worst that could happen? She'd reject me. That's all. Should I have given it a try, after all?'

 

Chapter 896

Elliana noticed that Coleman had remained quiet for a long time.

She thought he had thought it through. So, she encouraged him further. "I know Bonnie's incredible, but you're no slacker yourself. Be more confident in yourself, Coleman. You should give it a shot. Who knows? You might get a pleasant surprise."

Initially, Coleman had mustered up some courage. However, it vanished as soon as he heard what she said. Then, he thought about Bonnie's identity as Bonita and the courage vanished into thin air like a morning mist underneath the sunlight. In the end, he sighed helplessly.

"Forget it, Ms. Elliana. I'm not good enough."

She heard what he said and got anxious on his behalf.

"Why would you think that of yourself? Moreover, how would you know if it'd work until you've tried it? Seriously. I don't know what I can say to change your mind, Coleman.”

The light in his eyes was dimmed. He even sounded defeated when he spoke. "Bonnie is just too incredible. She's like the sun. Her light is so incandescent that I just don't have the guts to do something like that.

"Like I said, what am I going to do if we can't even remain friends after I give her a gift on Valentine's Day? I can't afford to take this risk."

Elliana could tell that he wasn't sure of himself at all.

'Well, I can understand that. After all, anyone who fell in love with someone as excellent as Bonnie would have this self-doubt.'

That was why she didn't push him further when she saw how difficult it was for him.

"I'm fine with your decision, Coleman. You make the call. However, as your mentor, I feel the need to tell you this. If you take action, then there's a possibility. On the contrary, you won't have any fighting chance if you do nothing. You got that?"

"I'm aware of it, Ms. Elliana." Coleman sighed heavily. "I just can't muster up the courage."

"Alright. Don't overthink it. Just keep doing your best. I know you're going to become Bonnie's equal one day." Elliana was worried that he'd think too much about it. So, she comforted him before hanging up. "I got it, Ms. Elliana." He responded.

Once the call ended, he held the phone, leaned on the wall, and stared off into the distance.

'I understand what Elliana said, but I know all too well how successful Bonnie is. I'm afraid I'll never become her equal in this lifetime.'

After the classes ended in the afternoon, Bonnie and Avril were chatting about the game they had just played while they walked toward the gate.

They had just reached the first floor when she saw a lot of people pointing at her and judging her.

"Look at her, guys. She really doesn't have a single gift with her. How humiliating."

"You're right. She's so pretty that I thought she'd have a mountain.

she didn't get anything. This is hilarious."

gifts 'm actually surprised the ret

"Heh. So, what if she's beautiful? In the end, it's all talk, no action. After all, her reputation is all but ruined at the university. Who would want to be seen with her? She should consider herself lucky that they didn't stay three miles away from

her at all times."

"The way I see it, the good-looking guys who were always around her were just fooling around with her. None of them loved her for real." Avril heard everything they said.

Rolling up her sleeves, she roared at them at the top of her lungs, "Mind your disrespectful tongues! Stop spewing nonsense!"

Once the group saw that she spoke up for Bonnie, they got more excited.

"Are we wrong? Nobody loved her. That's a fact. Otherwise, why would no one give her any gift on Valentine's Day?" "She's right. We're just telling the truth here. What are you getting worked up for?"Chapter

"Sigh.

She's so upset that she

'anything. Let's just stop.

Otherwise, we just might make her

cry."

Bonnie had remained quiet all the time, but she couldn't help but laugh when she caught the last two remarks.

"Are you guys kindergarteners? Am I supposed to cry because I didn't get a gift? This is hilarious." What she said stumped all of them. They didn't manage to find their voices until after a long time. Then, they started defending themselves.

 

Chapter 897

"How is she laughing at a time like this? Is she trying to hide her pain by laughing it off?"

"I thought so, too. Think about it. She always has a group of good-looking guys around her. Today's Valentine's Day and everyone has a gift. She's the only one who has nothing. Just how sucky is that going to feel?

"However, she's laughing right now. Surely, she's just doing it to hide her pain."

"Should we stop making fun of her, then? I mean, what are we going to do if she suddenly loses her mind?"

"Why, you..." Avril was about to speak up when something caught her eyes. She looked at it in shock.

"Look over there, Bonnie."

She sounded so thrilled that Bonnie wasn't the only one who looked over. Everyone there followed her gaze as well.

The sight was so astounding that their eyes widened, and their jaws dropped.

"L-Look at those luxury cars. There's got to be at least 20 of them! Gosh. What are they doing here? Is the university having some kind of event?"

"These are limited edition Lamborghinis! Actually, I think all of this model's limited editions in the world are gathered here! How majestic. This is beyond awesome. I have to take a picture and put it up on my Twitter account."Chapter

"Me too!"

All of them pulled out their phones and snapped a picture of the luxury cars.

At the next moment, the Lamborghinis pulled over by the gate.

The first car's door swung open, and out came a bodyguard dressed in a black suit. There was a gift box in his hands.

The gift box was so exquisite that it took one glance to know it was a high-end gift.

The group of students was gathered together because of Bonnie. Now, they were discussing intensely about the Lamborghini and the bodyguard.

"Whose Valentine's Day gift is this? Does it have to be this grand?"

"I think I would be on cloud nine if I were the girlfriend! Just looking at this grand gesture is enough to make me faint.

"Will the universe please arrange this kind of boyfriend for me?"

"Give it up, lady. You won't find this kind of boyfriend anywhere because they're all already taken."

"I'm very curious. Who in the world are these gifts for? Who could've had such a moneybag for a boyfriend? Hurry up and show yourself!"

All of them were talking amongst themselves when the bodyguard walked past the crowd with the exquisite gift box in his hand and headed straight for Bonnie.

"My boss prepared these gifts for

you, Ms. Bonnie. He also said that you haven't been receiving Valentine's Day gifts before you knew him. So, he's making it up for you for every gift you've missed."

Realizing that all of these were meant for Bonnie, their eyes widened even more.

Before they could recover from the shock, the bodyguards came out of the luxury cars one by one and brought gifts of all shapes and sizes before her.

"This is your Valentine's Day gift for when you're two years old, Ms. Bonnie."

"This one's for when you're three years old."

"This Valentine's Day gift is for when you're four years old."

All the bodyguards laid the gifts down one by one until all 20 gifts were before her. Then, the 20 bodyguards stood where they were and waited for her to unwrap the gifts.

The lead bodyguard saw that she didn't move, and flashed her a smile before reminding her. "If unwrapping all of them is too troublesome for you, then you can just pick one of them and see what kind of surprise my boss has prepared for you."

 

Chapter 898

Bonnie looked at the grand gesture and knew instantly that Ivor was behind this.Chapter

Her lips twitched in response to the revelation.

"It's fine. I'm not going to open any one of them. Get them back in the car. I'll unwrap them when I'm back home."

'Ivor loves doting on me. I'm sure the gifts he prepared for me are insanely expensive. There's a crowd here and we're at the university gate. I don't want to draw more attention to myself than I already have. 'With that said, he gave some thoughts to these gifts and sent them to me. So, I can't reject it, either. That's why receiving them and unwrapping them at home is the best course of action here.' "Um..." The head bodyguard looked troubled. "We have our orders. Our employer said you have to unwrap one of the gifts, at least. Otherwise, we won't be able to tell him that we got the job done." Her lips twitched again.

'What on earth is Ivor doing? Why did he insist on me unwrapping one of the gifts?'

She was still confused when she saw the bodyguard, who looked troubled. It seemed like he wasn't going to leave until she did what Ivor wanted.

Flat out of option, she agreed to it. "Fine. I'll just pick one and open it."

'I'll just randomly pick one of them, unwrap it, and send the bodyguard packing.'

She walked over and was about to unwrap one of the gifts when she heard the onlookers. They sounded both sarcastic and curious.

"I've never heard that Bonnie came from a wealthy family. Could it be that she has a loaded boyfriend? Why would there suddenly be 20 Lamborghinis here just to send her gifts? Something smells fishy here."

"Is it possible that she did this

because of what we said about her?

I mean we posted her story online. She might've spent her own money to rent these cars and hired these bodyguards to send her gifts!"

"If what you said is true, then she's even bigger of an attention whore than I thought she was!"

Avril realized that the onlookers weren't letting go of Bonnie, even when she received several Valentine's Day gifts.

It got her so mad that she

confronted them and barked, "You

guys don't even think before you speak. How shameless. You're latching onto Bonnie like a bunch of parasites because she couldn't be bothered to get mad at you is that What's going on here?

"Fine. Since you guys are accusing her of renting the limited edition Lamborghini, let me ask you guys a question. Could you guys afford to rent it?"

'She's right! Those are Lamborghinis we're talking about here! All of us are mere students. We wouldn't be able to rent one of those, much less 20 of them. With that said, feeling guilty didn't mean they weren't going to defend themselves.

One of the onlookers spoke again.

"Don't let her intimidate us, everyone. Perhaps she really is putting on an act and feeling guilty about it. That's why she's so worked up. Also, I have reasons to believe that those gift boxes are...

He was going to claim that they were empty. Before he could finish his sentence, however, he saw Bonnie reaching out and opening the lid of the gift box.

Then, he saw a couple of exquisite emeralds, which emanated elegance underneath the evening sun's brilliant glow.

The onlookers were gaping at it, all of them were at a loss for words.

Avril saw their reactions and praised Ivor internally.

'Ivor's gifts are nothing short of awesome.'

 

Chapter 899

'Ivor has done more than enough to make these clowns feel jealous!' Avril thought to herself.

The students stared at the emeralds in the gift box for a long time.

"I-Is that supposed to be authentic emeralds? How much is it worth?"

"Actually, I used to see the same emeralds at a luxury expo! They were contained in a glass case with its price tag. It was worth more than 20 million dollars.

"Meanwhile, the necklace over there is worth 12 million dollars. What's more, gathering enough money isn't the biggest obstacle to buying it. You have to have a gold VIP membership before you can think about buying them!

"This man, whoever he is, managed to give both of them to Bonnie as gifts. Gosh. I can't even imagine just how powerful and prestigious he has to be to pull this off."

"Are you sure they are authentic pieces? Is there a chance it's a counterfeit?"

"Nuh-uh. I'm sure they're the real deal. After all, they're designed by a famous jeweler. You can see his personal stamp as well as the logo. No one can mimic him, too. I looked over it carefully just now. The logos are there."

"Are you trying to tell us that some kind of big shot gave these gifts to Bonnie? If that's real, we can't afford to be on her wrong side!"

They had been eyeing her suspiciously earlier. Now, however, there was nothing but fear in their eyes.

Closing the gift box, Bonnie strolled over to the onlookers leisurely.

Realizing that she was walking toward them, they took a step back. All of them were worried that they might offend her.

She saw their reaction and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Do you guys hate me? Or, did you guys viciously attack me because you were jealous of me? Anyway, I don't care about it. There's a reason I'm still standing before you.

"I want to tell you that gifts, especially Valentine's Day gifts, are a poor way of determining a person's worth. There's one more thing, and it's very important. Your actions and the posts you made on the internet have a severe adverse effect on the university's reputation.

"We're all adults, so I expect you all to practice some self-restraint. Be aware of how you carry yourself and stop judging anyone based on what you see on the surface.

"If the same thing happens on

campus, have to report the entire

incident to the university president

as well as the administration ee and get them to Onoveldrama

in the matter."

Then, she tore her gaze away from them and looked at Avril, who was standing not far away from her.

"Let's go."

Avril was intimidated by Bonnie's speech just now. Then, she snapped out of it and put on a big smile before following the latter. "Alrighty. Let's go."

'Tee-hee... These people are such

run-of-the-mill commoners. How et

dare they think they could make

things difficult for Bonnie? They've thought too highly of themselves?

'I can't help but feel impressed by Ivor again. He's just so awesome. He has preserved Bonnie's pride big time!'

One by one, the onlookers slowly recovered from the shock after Bonnie left.

"Why did Bonnie seem very authoritative just now? Don't you guys think she looked like a leader?"

"I-I sure do. Moreover, she spoke like a dean. I couldn't help but feel like following her and doing what she said."

"I'm not sure if you guys remember this. Three people raised a ruckus at the gate. Then, they were taken away by the military.

"A lot of people said that the three people must've offended some sort of big shot to deserve such an ending. They also said Bonnie had nothing to do with it.

"However, I think, we should watch our steps. Otherwise, we'd regret it big time if we messed with the wrong lady!"

Her words made everyone's minds travel back to that day. Helicopters swarmed the sky, and an endless stream of armored vehicles closed in on the university gate.

Just thinking about it was enough to shock and terrify them. No one wanted to relive that nightmarish scene again!

At the next moment, all of them had goosebumps at the same time.

 

Chapter 900

"Um... I think we better take it easy. Moreover..." The lady hung her head and stuttered. "I think she has a point. We are judging her by the number of gifts she received on Valentine's Day. We did take it too far."

Everyone heard her and hung their heads too. Then, they mulled it over in silence.

"Alright. That's enough. Go back, everyone. Let's not linger here anymore."Chapter

The university gate was full of people who had gathered there to badmouth Bonnie a minute ago. Now, it was as silent as a grave.

Avril saw that they were a bunch of weasels and couldn't help but say, "Pfft. They merely recalled the previous incident, but it was enough to scare them away. How did they have the guts to offend you in the first place?

"If that's the case, are they going to piss their pants when they find out about your real identity?"

Chuckling, Bonnie said, "It's all in the past. There's no need to talk about it anymore."

"You were truly badass just now, Bonnie. They were so intimidated that they looked frozen." She gave Bonnie a thumbs up.

Bonnie smiled wordlessly. Then, they turned the corner, and she saw something that made her smile widen.

"My private car is here. How about I give you a ride home?"

"Private car?"

This phrase was so out of nowhere that it confused Avril.

"Mm-hmm," Bonnie responded.

At the next moment, a Maybach pulled over next to them. Then, it hit Avril.

She flashed Bonnie a mischievous smile and said, "Is that the private car you're talking about? I guess you're right. In fact, there's your personal chauffeur in there."

Bonnie felt a little speechless at the way Avril made fun of her. "So, do you want a lift home?"

Avril smiled and shook her head. "That's your private car. How could I sit in there? Sigh. It looks like this poor, single lady will have to walk all the way back home. After all, I wouldn't want to be the third wheel."

She made it sound as pitiful as she could, but she had a big smile on her face. Obviously, she was making fun of Bonnie again.

Bonnie couldn't help but roll her eyes. In any case, she knew her friend wouldn't get in the car if Ivor was there. So, she dropped the matter. "Suit yourself."

Avril couldn't resist chuckling before waving at her. "I'll be leaving now. I wouldn't want to disturb your moment with Ivor, after all. I'll see you tomorrow."

With that, she turned around and got out of Bonnie's sight after she turned the corner.

'She can be quite insufferable sometimes!' Bonnie thought to herself as she turned her gaze at the Maybach, which was parked not far away.

She walked over and opened the door, only to be greeted by a sweet fragrance.

At the next moment, Ivor presented a bouquet of red and pink roses to her.

"Happy Valentine's Day, Bonnie."

Raising her eyes, she met his profound stare. His eyes were brimming with affection. Then, she glanced at the bouquet in her hands and blushed a little.

Tightening her grip on it, she bit her lips. Her voice was softer and more affectionate than usual when she spoke.

"Haven't you prepared Valentine's Day gifts from the first year of our relationship all the way to 20 years old? What's with the flower?"
