Chapter 46
Halle and Rowena were busy mocking Bonnie as they made their way to the entrance.
Bonnie was right behind them.
Meanwhile, Quenton could barely contain himself in the living room. “Where is the lady who brewed this tea?” Immediately after that, he saw Ivor turning to look at the entrance.
Ivor’s gaze, which had been cold and dark, turned soft as he said, “Here she is.”
Quenton jumped up, looked at the entrance, and said as his beard trembled, “It’s you?!”
Rowena had just stepped foot into the entrance when she saw an excited Quenton. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Was it possible that Master Quenton really wanted to take her on as his apprentice because he knew just how much she had improved over the past year?
She flashed a sweet smile and was about to introduce herself to him when he walked right past her and straight toward Bonnie.
“It’s really you, Master Bonnie! Just as I thought. If anyone can brew tea made by Mariage Frères so masterfully, it must be you!” Quenton said admiringly.
Rowena was shocked and gawked at them. Halle’s jaw dropped so far it almost hit the ground. Did they hear him right?!
Master Quenton was a VIP of the Knight family. Rowena wanted the renowned tea master to take her on as his apprentice. And here he was, showing immense respect to Bonnie, who was a nobody. It looked like Bonnie knew her way around tea brewing too.
Ivor trained his gaze on Bonnie when he saw Quenton’s reaction. He stared at her sharply as if he was trying to see through her.
“It’s been a while, Quenton.” Bonnie greeted him. Her tone shocked everyone present!
Quenton was a prestigious tea master, and that was how she talked to him? She didn’t even use his title of “Master‘!
Rowena was delighted at this development. As she started to call Bonnie out for speaking so rudely, Quenton spoke. “I threw myself wholeheartedly into the art of tea brewing, Master Bonnie. I dare say I’ve made great strides. Will you take me under your wing now?”
He was asking to become her apprentice?!
Ivor knew Bonnie had great tea brewing skills, but he couldn’t hold back his shock when he saw what was going on.
Halle was shocked beyond words too. It took her a while to find her voice and she stuttered, Rowena. D–Do you still want to become M–Master Quenton’s a–apprentice?”

If she did, she would prove herself inferior to Bonnie!
Rowena’s jaw was about to drop. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she said, “Let’s go,” so softly that only the two of them could hear it.
She couldn’t bear to stay here a second longer! Bonnie might not have said anything, but her mere presence was an insult to her!
So, Halle and Rowena left, feeling dejected.
Bonnie, on the other hand, didn’t even realize they had left. She talked about the art of tea brewing with Quenton at length and rejected his request to become her apprentice again.
The only one who had benefited from this was Ivor. He sat there, sipping his tea, and watched quietly as both tea masters exchanged their takes on the art.
Ivor drove Bonnie to the exam venue himself the next morning. “Don’t be nervous about the SATS. Just be yourself.”
“Sure. Thanks for driving me here. I won’t be nervous.” Bonnie had told him the truth, but he thought she was just trying to boost her confidence.
“I’ve heard about your bet with your family. I’ll find a way to send you to Pyralis University no matter the test result. As for the Best Scholar Award, I’m afraid…” He might be wealthy, but even he couldn’t get her that.
“I’ll definitely get the Best Scholar Award.” Bonnie got out of the car and made a phone call.
The principal of Pyralis University was in his office, taking a sip of tea when he received a phone call from Bonnie. When he saw who was calling, he rushed to answer the call.
“Are you going to take over the university at last, Bonnie? All you have to do is come over and I’ll get the procedures done. You’ll become principal of Pyralis University with immediate effect!”
