I Love You, Miss Genius

Chapter 32

“Five million dollars? Do you think I’m some kind of beggar?” Bonnie looked at the check disdainfully. The country paid her way more than five million dollars as a monthly salary, and that was even before taking the dividends into account. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

“You’re asking for way too much! You’re just a nobody. The Shepards might have taken you back, but I hear that you aren’t exactly popular there. They don’t give you any pocket money.

“Five million is nothing to sneeze at. The Shepards would fall on their knees and thank me if I gave them all this money!‘

Rowena crossed her arms on her chest, lifted her chin, and looked down at Bonnie.

“Really? Five million dollars might seem like a huge amount of money to you. You’re from a middle- class family, after all. But it means nothing to someone like me. Take my outfit, for example. This alone is worth several million dollars.” Bonnie pointed at the clothes she was wearing.

“Hahaha! Did you just say your outfit is worth several million dollars? Are you sure you’re not talking about some third–world country currency?”

“You can’t even tell who made my outfit. You’re clueless.” It was Bonnie’s turn to look down

Rowena.

Rowena frowned and started looking closely at Bonnie’s outfit. Her eyes widened when she saw the

logo. Then, her surprise turned to mockery.

“You’ve done it now, Bonnie. You wanted to look good so badly that you slapped Hamish Evans’s unique logo on some random outfit.”

“I know you didn’t recognize it, but I didn’t know just how clueless you were. This is not a

counterfeit.”

“Clueless? I think you’re the ignorant one. You flipped through some magazines and thought anyone could wear Hamish Evans’s clothes. He only makes three outfits a month. All kinds of famous and wealthy people fight over every piece he makes.

“There’s no way a hillbilly managed to get one of his outfits. I’m a huge fan of his. I know about all his designs, and I can say for sure that he hasn’t made anything like what you’re wearing!”

“That’s because Hamish designed this outfit specifically for me. Of course you wouldn’t have seen it.

Rowena burst into laughter. “Did you hear that, Halle? She said Hamish designed that outfit specifically for her. Why doesn’t she just go ahead and say that Hamish works for her and designs an outfit for her every day? How shameless!”

Halle ignored her painful arm and joined the mocking. “That’s why I said she doesn’t deserve cousin Ivor! She dragged his name through the mud when she was engaged to him. Get her out of here now, Rowena. She’s making me sick.”

Rowena pulled off a jade bracelet from her wrist and reached out to Bonnie, “My grandmother spent a lot of money on this bracelet for my eighteenth birthday. Do you know how much it was? I’m sure

you’ll be shocked.

“This cost ten million dollars! Ten million! What do you think? Are you surprised? Take it. You’ll never wear a piece of jewelry more extravagant than this one. I’m giving it to you out of the kindness of my heart.”

Bonnie looked at the bracelet coldly and extended her hand as though to take it.

“Heh!” Rowena despised her. ‘Why isn’t Bonnie keeping up her aloof pretense now? Was it because she thought five million dollars wasn’t enough?‘

As she moved to put the jade bracelet in Bonnie’s hand, Bonnie snatched her hand back. Just like that, it fell out of Rowena’s hand and straight onto the ground.

‘Smash!‘ The jade bracelet shattered into several pieces. Rowena screamed in shock. “My bracelet!”

Halle couldn’t believe what had just happened. She was about to yell at Bonnie when she saw Ivor coming out of his study.

An idea sprung in her mind and she yelled, “That’s too much, Bonnie. Rowena just said something you didn’t want to hear, but you went ahead and smashed her jade bracelet on the ground! Her late grandmother gave that to her! How could you be so cold?”
