I Love You, Miss Genius

Chapter 93

“It’s possible,” Ivor said slowly. Just like that, Floyd was lost in thought.

Trina couldn’t wait to get down to business the moment Bonnie returned home.

“You’re back at last, Bonnie. Are’t the SATs over? Why are you still staying out there on your own?”

“What does it have to do with you?” Bonnie wasn’t going to waste any words on Trina. She walked straight to the couch, sat down, and started peeling an orange.

Trina deliberately looked at Vera with sad eyes and turned her head aside. Then, she lifted her hands and pretended to wipe some tears away.

Vera was enraged. “Trina was just expressing her concern for you, Bonnie. That was too much.”

Bonnie smiled faintly and said, “That’s true! She was so concerned about me that she nearly charged into Ms. Bonita’s private room at the hotel restaurant. The nerve of her.”

Trina’s heart gripped with fear. Vera was gobsmacked.

“What did you say?”

Trina tried to cut them off to put an end to the topic. “You must be tired, Mom. How about I give you a massage?”

Bonnie smiled more widely. “You’re terrible at covering up what you’ve done, Trina. Did you really think Mom would be so gullible?”

“Tell me what on earth happened.” Vera grabbed Trina. What Bonnie had revealed was so serious that she shuddered. She knew Trina had found out that Ms. Bonita was going to celebrate the

anniversary of her research institute.

When she called her daughter, Trina had made it sound like she hadn’t found out where Ms. Bonita was having lunch. But if what Bonnie said was true, then it meant Trina had kept something from her..

Vera looked at Trina and found that her face had turned pale. That made her even more suspicious.

“Nothing much, I guess. Trina just hid outside Ms. Bonita’s private room, but got caught red– handed. by the researchers,” Bonnie said. Her tone indicated that she wanted to blow up the whole thing.

Vera was shocked again. She looked at Trina with wide eyes. “Is this true?”

Trina’s face turned even paler.

Good. That was all the answer Vera needed.

“How dare you do something like that, Trina?! You told me you were just trying your luck to see if you’d run into Ms. Bonita. I can’t believe you hid outside of her private room at the restaurant!” Vera lectured.

That had been bad enough, but Trina had gotten herself caught, too!

“I’m going to ask you again. Did you manage to see Ms. Bonita?”

Trina Tried to make her mother feel sorry for her by tearing up. “I–I didn’t see her.”

“Well Did you offend anyone?”

“Um…” Trina bit her lips hard, and then harder still.

Bonnie crossed her legs and looked at Trina, pleased, “You’d better tell the truth. Otherwise, even t won’t be able to help you.

Damn that Bonniel She was the one who had gotten her into this mess. How dare she imply that she’d help her:

“I’ll say it since you won’t. You accused me of seducing one of the researchers right in front of them. You implied that Ms. Bonita’s research institute had wicked, corrupt people. Because of that, you offended all the science researchers. Mr. Terry even proclaimed they would never hire you.”

Vera was shocked to the core. Gresham, who had just heard the commotion from his study on the second floor, was equally stunned. He almost stumbled and fell down the stairs.

“T That’s not true,” Trina denied hastily.

“How are you still denying it, Trina? Do you think that’ll help? Are you going to say that I’m lying?” Bonnie said lightly.

Trina’s eyes

widened. She didn’t get it. Bonnie had never bothered to fight her when this had happened in the past. Why did Bonnie have to kick her while she was down today?

It was clear to both Vera and Gresham who the real liar was.

#You made a huge mistake, Trina. You’re lucky Ms. Bonita wasn’t there in person. Otherwise, our family could very well be wiped out from Pyralis. I want you to go to your room and reflect on your mistake. Do it until the end of summer.”

Trina’s tears fell onto the floor, but her parents were infuriated with her. It didn’t matter how sad she tried to look. It wouldn’t help her. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Bonnie watched as Trina went upstairs, alone.

She was going to teach Trina the lesson of a lifetime and make her see the magnitude of her mistake. That way, Trina would never dare approach her researchers again.
