“Count me in!”
“Me too!”
The students continued to ridicule Bonnie.
She looked at them calmly and said, “Well, how about a bet?”
“What are we betting on?” This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
“Whether I can get into Pyralis University. If you lose, you’ll all have to shave your heads.”
“All right! But if you lose, you have to shave yours as well.”
“Deal,” said Bonnie.
A student held up her phone.
“I’ve in
recorded what you said. Bonnie, if you lose and don’t do as you promised, we’ll put this online and show the world what a liar you are!”
Almost every student at school heard about the bet before the day was out. Sacha and her gang had spread the news to make Bonnie a laughing stock and ensure there was no turning back.
If Bonnie ended up breaking her promise, she would lose everyone’s respect.
Bonnie had been harassed in school all day, so she thought she would be able to find peace at the Knight Residence. But when she returned, she became the target of two uninvited guests.
“A country bumpkin like you doesn’t belong here, Bonnie! You’re not worthy of my cousin! I can’t believe my grandpa wants him to marry you! And how could Aunt Maisie give you her blessing? I don’t care what she said. You need to leave Ivor immediately!”
Halle Knight disliked Bonnie because she wanted her best friend, Rowena Paul, to marry Ivor.
Bonnie chuckled. “Who the fuck you think you are? Why should I listen to what you say?”
“I–You-” Halle was so exasperated that her face flushed.
Rowena, who had come in with Halle, glared at Bonnie. “You’re so rude. Halle is Ivor’s cousin. How could you talk to her like that?”
“So what if she’s Ivor’s cousin? She’s the one who’s being rude. I don’t need this shit, okay? Just leave
me alone.” Bonnie turned to leave.
Infuriated, Halle lost her cool and tried to slap her.
