I Love You, Miss Genius

Chapter 55

Gresham and Vera stared at Trina with a mix of disappointment and distrust.

Trina was so stressed at seeing them like that that she cried even harder. “How could you say that, Fernanda? I was just worried about Bonnie’s SATs, that’s all. And I only happened to see her student ID by chance…”

“Heh. You just happened to see it, but you took a picture of it. Let me ask you a question. What were you plotting?”

“L… Um… You really let me down, Fernanda. I told you about that because I trusted you. You deliberately projected it onto the big screen to humiliate my parents because Grandpa gave his company to my father. I know you and your parents have a grudge over that and want to take the company back for yourselves.”

“Motherfucker! How could you be so fucking shameless, Trina?!” Fernanda couldn’t stand it anymore. She rolled up her sleeves and yanked at Trina’s hair.

“Ow. My hair! It hurts!”

Just like that, they began fighting each other.

Bonnie just sat aside and sipped on her drink as the two other women struggled with each other. She looked relaxed. Amused, even.

“Holy crap! This is big motherfucking news!” Ged burst into Ivor’s office.

Ivor raised his head. “Are you feeling okay?”

Ged picked up a glass of water and drank it. “I have the biggest scoop for you!”

“What is it? Do you really have to be so dramatic?” Ivor lowered his head and continued to work.

“Look at you. Did you know the SAT scores are out today?”

To be honest, Ivor had never paid attention to the SAT scores, but it did pique his interest this time.

“Do you know how your fiancé did on the SATs?”

“I didn’t ask her.” He was worried it would make things awkward. After all, she didn’t exactly do well on her usual tests.

“I knew it. If you knew about her scores, you wouldn’t react like this. Take a guess. How do you think she scored?”

He frowned, a little displeased. “You know she doesn’t do well in tests, but you came all the way here to tell me about it. Are you trying to make fun of her? Let me tell you something, Ged. I’ll look past this because you’re my buddy, but I won’t let it slide if you mock her to her face.”

Ged was

as stunned when he felt Ivor’s animosity. He looked at his friend with wide eyes.

“H–have you really fallen in love with her?! Are you finally going to get a girlfriend?”

Ivor didn’t deny it. “I’ll spend some time with her and see where it leads us, for starters.”

“Damn straight! You’re going to give it a try! Bonnie had the perfect score! She’s won the Best Scholar Award!” Ged said excitedly.

Ivor’s eyes widened. “Are you kidding?”

“Do you think I’d kid around with this?” Ged had always been the mischievous type, but he looked very stern at that moment.

“How did you find out about this?”

“You know her grandparents‘ birthday party was today, right? Word is that Bonnie has a cousin, Fernanda, who wants to make her a laughing stock. And I’m sure you know about Trina, the girl who’s allegedly from a wealthy family. I’m not sure how, but she got her hands on Bonnie’s student

1. ID.

“They worked together to project Bonnie’s SAT scores onto the big screen at the party. Hahaha. This is the funny part. They wanted to make fun of Bonnie, but they ended up being the laughing stock themselves!” Ged was very pleased.

“I have something I need to say, and you might not like to hear it. We were wrong about Bonnie, Ivor. She’s an extremely talented woman. Don’t you like competent women?

“Many women from wealthy families have tried to approach you in the past, but you thought they were all too sheltered. They couldn’t do anything besides act cute, and they only ever learned some run–of–the–mill skills. That’s why you didn’t like any of them.

“But Bonnie is very skilled. Your mom was right. You wouldn’t deserve her if we stripped you of your status as CEO of the Knight Group.” NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

Ivor fell silent for a while, then started writing Bonnie a message.

Ged leaned over and tried to read it.

“Beep!”

Bonnie received a text.
