I Love You, Miss Genius

Chapter 169

William called Bonnie, picking his ears as he said, “Say what now?!”

“You heard me.” Bonnie smiled with a hint of cunning in her eyes,

That same night, Xavier received a reply from the SR League saying someone had accepted his request. He was so excited that he sent someone to pick the person up.

Bonnie came wearing a black, baggy outfit and had her face covered. She deepened her voice, saying, ” It’ll take more than a billion dollars if you want her head.”

Xavier casually responded, “Are you trying to haggle over the price after we’ve agreed on one? A billion dollars is more than enough for anyone to live several lifetimes. Your self–opinion is too high if you think you’re the only one who’ll accept my request.”

“You got that right. I can confidently say only a few will dare to accept your request. If you don’t believe me, keep waiting for someone to show up. I’m patient. It won’t take long before you come looking for me again,” Bonnie said confidently.

Xavier’s expression grew cold. “Is that so? We’ll see how it goes, then.”

Several days later, he asked to see her again, just as she had expected. Xavier looked miserable since Bonnie’s prediction had come true. He had received no further updates on the request he had posted

Bonnie sipped some tea and slowly looked up at Xavier. “I told you you’d come looking for me again.”

Xavier felt embarrassed, saying, “That begs the question. How were you so confident no one else would accept the request?”

Naturally, she was confident because she told William to stop anyone from accepting it. “That’s because your target is Bonnie, a unique young lady.”

Xavier rubbed his chin and thought, “Did SR League find out that Bonnie has connections to Ivor, Hamish, and Jim? That doesn’t really make sense. The SR League has a team of elites who are capable of taking on any task. It’s plausible that not a single soul would dare to accept my request.‘:

“Then, why’d you accept the request?”

“I have my reasons for doing it. It’s none of your concern, though.” Bonnie said as she put down her

teacup.

Xavier grew annoyed at how she talked to him. Even so, Bonnie’s patience ran thin as she said, “I believe you’d only trust your request with the SR League and not other task forces.”

Bonnie hit the nail on the head. After all, she was no ordinary lady. Instead, she had support from many influential figures. If he had given his request to the other task force, they might have been able to trace it back to him.

On the other hand, the SR League was on another lever. They had never exposed any private and confidential information, including one’s identity.

“Out with it. What’s your asking price?”

Bonnie gestured and said, “Ten billion dollars.”

Her demands struck Xavier’s nerves. “Don’t you think you’re asking too much?”

“I took liberty and gave you a discounted price, Mr. Xavier,” she said truthfully.

After all, she was worth way above ten billion dollars. Bonnie noticed how furlous he was, so she stood up and said, “I’m in no hurry. Take your time and consider your options. You should know the drill by now. I believe our paths will cross again.”

Bonnie took a few steps before turning back to look at him. “I heard Sheffyn Entertainment’s share price has plummeted over the last couple of days. It sounds like a disaster. Besides that, I also heard that the five billion dollar television drama will get canceled soon.

“All of that happened because of Bonnie. If she’s dead, then the ten billion dollars would’ve been a well–spent investment. Wouldn’t you say?”

After careful consideration, Xavier nodded and said, “Can you ensure you won’t expose me?”

“The prey has taken the bait,‘ Bonnie thought.

She smiled behind her mask and said, “Don’t worry. The SR League’s reputation is at stake. If anyone finds out who you are, the league will pay you back a hundred fold.”

Now that she had guaranteed the secrecy of the request, he decided to take the risk.

“Fine. I’ll pay you ten billion for Bonnie’s head.”

He only wanted Bonnie dead as it would dissolve Ivor and Hamish’s alliance as well as Jim’s interference. The King of Combat would also stop targeting Xavier because he would be too busy looking into Bonnie’s death.
