I Love You, Miss Genius (Bonnie Shepard and Ivor Knight) novel Chapter 784

Bonnie raised her eyebrows and scanned the leader from head to toe. Then, she stared at him menacingly.

“Are you sure?”

‘I didn’t bring any bodyguards other than Jim on this trip. I guess it isn’t that crazy an idea for them to find me an easy target.

‘However, that still doesn’t explain what Jim said about us being targeted on the first day we touched down at Everpeak. He had monitored our surroundings, but even he couldn’t find out who was monitoring us.

‘On the other hand, this bunch of thugs can’t fight for shit. So, it’s downright impossible that they knew how to keep themselves hidden.

‘With all of these in mind, I don’t think these thugs just wanted to mug us. There’s more.’

The leader of the thugs nodded heavily. “O-Of course I am, miss. You’ve beaten us to a pulp. Why should I lie to you at all?”

She cast another glance at him again. There wasn’t any sign of guilt or lying. She couldn’t help but frown.

‘This guy still hadn’t given me any openings to this moment. Is it because my theory is wrong? Or, is it because he’s just that good of an actor?’

She was in the middle of the thought when Jim came inside. He walked over to her side and whispered, “I got their information from the police. These guys are the local thugs. Moreover, they have mugged tourists before. This isn’t their first rodeo.

“The way I see it, they just happened to mug us by chance. The whole thing isn’t as serious as you might’ve thought.”

“Is that so…” She rubbed her chin gently and gave the leader of the thugs a sidelong glance.

He was hunched in his seat, looking like nothing more than a dummy. There wasn’t any sparkle of intelligence in his eyes.

‘People like him typically don’t have their own opinions, much less do big things. However, I just can’t shake the feeling that something was off.

‘Something definitely smells fishy, but I just can’t put my finger on it.’

Jim nodded in response. “I got this information from the cops. They can’t be wrong.”
