Chapter 45


    Chapter 45


    Vera was cut off by Bonnie’s fierce stare before she could finish. She suddenly felt as if her life was


    at


    risk.


    Rage built up in Bonnie, but it went away as fast as it came. “You sure do have a way with words. If


    I didn’t know any better, I would have thought you were my enemy, not my mom.”


    Vera felt a little awkward. It was true. They didn’t like Bonnie, but she was still their flesh and blood.


    It must have been humiliating for Bonnie to be used of something like that without proof.


    But that didn’t mean Vera would apologize. Instead, she said begrudgingly, “There’s no need to get


    upset, Bonnie. I was just worried that you might have fallen for some kind of scam. Tell me the truth.


    Where did you get this money?”


    “I worked for it.” Bonnie didn’t want to waste another second with them, so she rose and said, “I’m


    leaving. My SATs are tomorrow.”


    Vera couldn’t help but sigh as Bonnie left. She looked at Gresham and said, “Do you think she’ll be


    able to go to a third–rate college at least? What will I tell my family if she fails to do even that?”


    He sighed as well. He looked frustrated and said, “I’m thinking the same thing. My brothers and


    their families will rub it in our face if she can’t get into college.”


    o worry Trina took Vera’s arm in one hand and Gresham’s in another. “I don’t think you have to


    about her, Mom. Dad. I know Bonnie will get into one of the third–rate colleges. She won’t


    embarrass you.”


    But even though she said that, she was sure that Bonnie would flunk the test. She was going to


    make a big deal out of it and ensure that all the wealthy families in Pyralis found out.


    That way, Vera and Gresham would continue to love her and only her, even though they hadn’t


    given. birth to her. Bonnie would never have a ce in the Shepard family!

    Halle and chatting in the car.


    “I heard something, Rowena. Master Quenton is at the vi. He’s a world–renowned tea master and


    he doesn’te here often. I know you love tea brewing, so you have to convince him to take you


    under his wing.”


    “You have a point. I asked him to take me in as his apprentice, but he rejected mest time. I went


    on to hone my tea brewing skills for an entire year after that. I’ll definitely get his respect this time.”


    When they arrived at Knight Vi, they saw a cab pulling up. They exchanged nces when they


    saw it. No one besides Bonnie would hail a cab like a pennilessmoner.


    Bonnie saw Halle and Rowena when she got out of the car, but she ignored them and went straight


    into the vi.

    “What’s wrong with her? I can’t believe she went in without so much as a greeting. How uncivilized.


    I can’t take it. I need to teach her a lesson. I won’t stand for this!” Halle started to charge at Bonnie


    when Rowena grabbed her arm.


    “She just came back, Halle. Do you think she’s here for Master Quenton as well?”


    “She’s a nobody. No way Master Quenton would even bother to look at her!”


    “But… What if Ivor put in a word for her? Do you think Master Quenton would…?” Rowena said


    uncasily.


    Halle was stunned for a while before saying nastily, “You have a point. I’m going to give that


    penniless bitch a warning so strong that she’ll keep her mouth shut!


    She took a few brisk steps and blocked Bonnie’s path. “Hold it right there, Bonnie!”


    Bonnie looked at her coldly. “What?”


    ng to be


    Halle red at her and said, “Let me make something clear. Rowena is the one who’s Master


    Quenton’s apprentice. If you so much as ask Ivor to put in a good word for you and sway Master


    Quenton’s decision, I’ll make you regret it!”


    Rowena came over and said, “I’ve admired Master Quenton for a long time, Bonnie. I started


    learning how to brew tea a year ago just so I could be his apprentice one day. This is a big


    deal for me. I’ll give you a million dors if you stand back.” She sounded very condescending.


    Master Quenton?


    Bonnie was puzzled, but then she remembered Ivor’s text. The tea master would like to discuss teat


    brewing with her.


    Huh? Was that the same Quenton who had aparatively inferior tea brewing skill and begged


    her to take him under her wing?


    Surprise, surprise. It looked like his meager tea brewing skill was popr out here.


    Bonnie looked at Halle and Rowena with a strange expression on her face and said, “Don’t worry.


    I’ll


    stand back.”


    “If you won’t agree, then I’ll…” Halle was starting to threaten her when she realized that Bonnie had


    agreed to stand back.


    That was smart of her.

    Halle and Rowena let out a sigh of relief. Then, they hurried over to the entrance of the vi.


    “That bitch is being smart today.” Halle was relieved.


    Rowenaughed coldly, “Of course. It’s a million dors we’re talking about. She has nothing. I bet


    she’s never seen money like this in her life.”
