I Love You, Miss Genius

CHAPTER 326

“Oh, my poor baby! Bonnie has brought nothing but bad luck to you. Since we took her in, she has wronged you countless times. She even dragged you into this thievery mess and ruined your future.

“My heart breaks for you, dear. It’s our fault. We shouldn’t have welcomed that country bumpkin into our home…” Vera trailed off and began to tear up.

Gresham’s headache worsened as the duo cried. He roared, “Bonnie has done many bad things to so many people! Hadwin’s even in jail now!”

He should not have mentioned Hadwin because Trina cried even louder when she heard

her fiance’s name.

‘I did everything to snatch Hadwin from Bonnie so that I could marry into a powerful and wealthy family. Now, look at what she’s done. She ruined my plans!‘

Vera frowned, saying, “I wonder what’s happening to the Rhodes now.‘

“What do you think is happening? Of course, they’re seething with rage.” Gresham lit a cigarette and left the dining room.

As he had predicted, the Rhodes had also lost their appetite as they sat at home. Although

the dining table was full of delicious food, none took a bite. Demetria cursed, “Why won’t

family!

“What about my cousin, Dermot? I suspect Bonnie had something to do with him disappearing from Pyralis.”

Draco’s expression turned grim. He said, “It doesn’t matter anymore. Let’s talk to Bonnie. The police will release Hadwin if she lets up.”

“Are you telling me to beg the bitch?!” Demetria refused.

Her husband said coldly, “Fine, let Hadwin will rot in jail.”

“Ugh, fine!” Demetria wrestled with her thoughts before saying through gritted teeth, “I’ll do,

anything for Hadwin’s sake!”

The following day, the couple stood in Bonnie’s way at the university entrance.

“What will it take for you to release Hadwin?” Demetria tried her best to suppress her temper. If not for Hadwin, she would have pounced on Bonnie and slapped her.

Bonnie chuckled. “That’s absurd. You make it sound like I was the one who ordered the arrest. Try speaking to the police department. You’ll probably have more luck there.”

“Damn it, Bonnie!” Demetria roared, “We’ve lowered ourselves to your level and begged you. You should know to quit while you’re ahead, or you’ll regret it! After all, we’re not common citizens. The Rhodes are wealthy and prominent in Pyralis.

“We don’t know what kind of sugar daddy you have, but being a mistress won’t last forever. All homewreckers eventually suffer terrible fates!”

The onlookers heard her yelling and began to mutter about Bonnie.

“Is that woman serious? Is Bonnie someone’s mistress?”

“I heard rumors about her having an old man as a sugar daddy.”

“But she’s the best scholar in Pyralis. She only has to continue her studies and graduate with flying colors. Then, she can choose any job she wants. Why would she want a sugar

daddy?”

“That’s where you’re wrong. Commoners like us have no status or backing. We can graduate with the best scores and still work regular jobs. It’ll take plenty of funding to set up our own business. Having a sugar daddy makes things a lot easier.”

These students were not exactly speaking softly. Anyone, including Bonnie, could hear

them.

She turned to the onlookers and said, “Since you know you’re a commoner, it’d be wise to watch what you say. Don’t believe rumors just because it sounds convincing. You shouldn’t spread false rumors, either. Otherwise, you’ll suffer worse fates than Trina and Hadwin.”

The onlookers gossiped without restraint earlier. Now that Bonnie had made her statement, they could only shut their mouths, even if they were unhappy. Soon, Bonnie returned her gaze to Demetria and Draco.
