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?” This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
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.‘
