I Love You, Miss Genius (Bonnie Shepard and Ivor Knight) novel Chapter 108

Chapter 108

The guests became uneasy after listening to Avril’s rant. They never considered it before, but things looked clearer now. Ultimately, they realized Trina had misled them into thinking Bonnie was the bad guy.

Trina had phrased her words to make it look like she was defending Bonnie, and it ended up riling them up and turning them on Bonnie. However, Trina was not trying to defend her sister.

After careful contemplation, the guests realized Trina was manipulating them into thinking Bonnie was the villain. Now that they saw through her tricks, they regarded Trina disdainfully.

Trina had lost her advantage and was at a loss. Ultimately, she could only continue playing the victim. She wept as she said, “Th–that’s not what I meant! Stop twisting my words. Why would I do anything like that to my sister?”

Harold witnessed everything and could not resist roaring at Gresham, “You failed as a father! Is this how you’ve been educating your daughters? What is the matter with Bonnie?! Hadwin was right. So, what if she aced the SAT with perfect scores?

“She’s outrageous and tends to bring shame to the family! I’d rather she had a good character than winning the Best Scholar Award.”

Harold was furious at Bonnie for a different reason. Yolanda tore up Master Orson’s painting over a misunderstanding at his birthday party. So, he went to ask her for another painting from Master Orson. To his surprise, Bonnie turned him down.

He even remembered what she had said to him back then.

“Do you think I can just order Orson around? Do you think he’ll make another painting simply because I asked him to? He did it last time because I took Kay as my apprentice. Let’s say I ask him for another painting.

“How do you suppose I should answer if he asks about the previous one? Am I supposed to tell him that you guys tore it up?

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got at Bonnie. If it were up to him, he would have told Gresham to send her back to the countryside where she belonged. He would do that if Bonnie said anything unpleasant to him or his wife.
