CHAPTER 356
“You just prefer to keep a low profile, that’s all. If you had attended any award events, you could have been more popular than I am.”
“Drop it, Orpheus. I meant it when I said they wouldn’t regret it. They might even hate me more for keeping it from them. That’s the best–case scenario. The last thing I want is for them to beg me to use my skills to make money for them.”
Orpheus reddened with anger when he heard that. “Fine, I’ll keep my mouth shut! You shouldn’t return to them, either, Bonwick. You’re living the life now that you’re away from them.”
At that moment, he thought about Ivor’s menacing expression. Orpheus added, “Uh, yeah. Although you’re indeed living the life, it’s a tad lonely. Ivor is an excellent husband, Bonwick. I must say, you two are perfect for each other.”
“Hehehe…” Bonnie giggled.
Tatiana spiked a bottled beverage and handed it to Nancy, saying, “Give this to Bonnie and tell her I’m willing to make amends and befriend her.”
“I can’t do that. I know you’re mad at Bonnie because you think she has a crush on Orpheus. Still, he
clarified the whole thing on the internet. Bonnie is his nephew’s girlfriend or something. The truth is far from what you imagine.”
“You’re so naive and stupid, Nancy! No wonder your father’s mistress and her daughter got you kicked out of the family! Are you going to believe everything Orpheus says? It’s apparent he did it to defend that
bitch!”
Nancy highly disagreed with Tatiana, questioning. “Why would Orpheus do something like that?”
“Bonnie must’ve put a spell on Orpheus for him to do that. The same thing happened to your dad. He raised you for more than twenty years and then disowned you. His mistress and her daughter must’ve also put a spell on him.”
Nancy did not know how to respond to that. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
Tatiana shoved the bottle into Nancy’s hands and said, “Ugh, enough wasting time. Hurry up and give this
drink to Bonnie!”
Nancy held the bottle, feeling like Tatiana had just handed her a bomb. Suddenly, the former let it go, and it fell to the ground. “N–No, I can’t do something like this. I just can’t!”
Tatiana threatened, “You might as well quit if you refuse to do it. Your mom won’t live any longer without money to continue her treatment. Then, you’ll only have yourself to blame for her death.”
Tears rolled down Nancy’s cheeks. She bit her lip and picked up the bottle before leaving to pass it to
Bonnie.
“Ms. Tatiana wanted me to give you this beverage as a peace offering. Ms. Bonnie. She wants to befriend
you.”
The director and producer were relieved to hear that. One said, “It’s better to make friends than enemies, Ms. Bonnie. Let’s forgive and forget, shall we?”
The other added, “That’s right. You two don’t know each other well, after all. There’s no need for things to
remain so awkward.”
Bonnie was not one to hold grudges. Hence, she nodded and motioned to grab the bottle. Suddenly, Nancy hesitated and withdrew her hand slightly.
“Ahem!” Tatiana cleared her throat, causing Nancy to shut her eyes and loosen her grip.
Bonnie looked at Nancy, who was acting strange and lowering her head. The former opened the bottle cap and sniffed it. Her expression grew grim, and she observed Nancy. The latter looked conflicted at
that moment
After some silence, Bonnie motioned to drink the beverage.
Suddenly, Nancy smacked the bottle from Bonnie’s hands and exclaimed, “No! Don’t drink it!”
“What’s going on here? Orpheus was puzzled as he looked at
Nancy.
“1–‘m sorry! 1-” Nancy choked up and slumped before Bonnie.
“What on earth is happening here?” Everyone present was bewildered.
The next moment, Bonnie sald dryly, “Someone spiked the drink.”
Nancy’s eyes widened as she looked up at Bonnie.
Tatiana also looked at Bonnie immediately. Although everyone regarded the latter strangely, she said, ” have some medical knowledge and can tell someone spiked the drink. I also know that it’s some sort of
aphrodisiac”
Everyone was shocked. If that were true, then whoever spiked the beverage would be despicable. After
all, it could lead Bonnie to do unspeakable things and ruin her life.
Tatiana marched over and screamed at Nancy, “I never expected you to be so cruel! What did Bonnie do to offend you? I can’t believe you spiked her drink with an aphrodisiac, no less!”
