I Love You, Miss Genius

Chapter 117

“I disagree, Grandpa!” Ivor said as he pursed his lips, displeased.

“That won’t help. Can’t you see that Bonnie has made up her mind? You’ll only worsen things if you keep pushing her! What I say goes. From today onward, you’re no longer engaged to Bonnie.

“Also, since you’re so worthless, I want you out of the villa and step down from your position in the company. Your only task is to follow Bonnie wherever she goes. If you need money, cling to her. She can afford to support you, after all. You can return when she agrees to marry you.

Ivor’s eyes glinted with coldness as he turned to Floyd, saying, “Tell my dad that Grandpa fired me. He has to take over the company from today onward.”

He then looked at Alfred and ordered, “Pack my stuff. I’ll leave with Bonnie.”

Bonnie was at a loss when she saw how serious Ivor was.

‘Are Ivor and Sigmund this childish? Give me a break, guys.‘

“You said you’re leaving with me. Did you ask me if I’m comfortable with that?”

Ivor said confidently, “It doesn’t matter. I’ll sleep by the door if you don’t let me sleep in the same room. I have nowhere else to stay since Grandpa has kicked me out of my home.‘

“Yeah, that’s right. Follow Bonnie’s footsteps every day, Ivor. I’ll suspend all your debit and credit cards. If she refuses to support you, you might as well starve to death.” Sigmund stroked his beard as he spoke.

It seemed Bonnie had no choice but to go along with it. She sighed and said, “I can stay here for now, but I’m moving out as soon as I find a place for myself. That’s the best I can do.”

Meanwhile, Ivor and Sigmund knew it was wise to quit while they were ahead. They merely smiled and kept quiet. Suddenly, Bonnie received a call from Avril.

Buzz, buzz, buzz.

“Hello?”

“Do you have some time to kill, Bonnie?”

“Is there anything you need?”

“I want to hang out with you.” Avril invited Bonnie out because she wanted to cheer her up. After all, anyone in Bonnie’s shoes would feel depressed after what happened yesterday.

“I’m pretty busy-”

“Don’t give me that. Well, it’s my birthday today. I think I told you about it yesterday, right? Come on, I gave you a birthday present. Can’t I ask you to hang out with me on my birthday?”

Of course, Bonnie could not reject Avril’s request when she put it that way.

“All right, where are we going?”

“Let’s go to the pedestrian zone.”

Later that day, the duo met at the intersection leading to the pedestrian zone. Avril probed, “Did you have a good sleep last night?” Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

“Hmm, I feel rested. It wasn’t too bad,” Bonnie said truthfully. She could finally have closure now that Gresham and the other Shepards had disowned her.

“Sheesh. You just love acting tough by keeping everything inside, huh?” Avril refused to believe Bonnie was unfazed about yesterday’s events.

Although Gresham and Vera were Bonnie’s birth parents, they poured all their love into their stepdaughter instead. They then shunned and disowned Bonnie in front of so many people. Worse, her ex–fiance was now engaged to her stepsister.

Bonnie said, “You’re overthinking it. I mean it when I say I’ve moved on.”

“Fine, let’s not discuss such gloomy things today. Since today’s my birthday, it’s my treat. You can buy anything you want, and I’ll pay for it. Onward to the shopping mall over there!” Avril led Bonnie straight to the third floor of the shopping mall.

“Do you know about the history of Bohemian Boutique?” Avril pointed at the boutique before them.
