    Chapter 99


    “What are you doing here?”


    “Why can’t I be here? Don’t you want me to be here?” Bonnie and Jim were standing side by side,


    and Ivor looked at them grimly


    Bonnie instantly understood why he was so angry. He had been displeased when she had talked to


    Tim back then. He hadn’t been happy when she had shown up with Heath to y chess either.


    Did he really think she would cheat on him?


    In any case, she still needed to exin everything to him so he wouldn’t cause any further trouble.


    “Don’t read too much into this.”


    “Alright. I won’t. I have some questions for you. How long have you known him? Why have I never


    heard about this? You told me you knew someone from Ms. Bonita’s research institute. Is that


    someone Master Jim?”


    Ivor had endless questions for Bonnie. The more he got to know her, the more mysterious she


    became.


    “That’s right. He was the person I was talking about. I met him a few years ago. I can’t remember


    exactly when, though.”


    He was a little pleased to hear her exining herself to him.


    “I’m curious. How did you meet him?”


    “What’s with all the questions? This is like a police interrogation.” Bonnie was overwhelmed.


    “You can choose not to answer them.” Ivor stared at her firmly.


    This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    This was a pain. To be honest, Bonnie didn’t want to answer him, but she knew what Ivor was like.


    If she chose to be quiet, he would be okay with it, but he’d be annoyed as hell.


    “Alright. I’ll talk. I met him at an underground fight.


    “You’ve been to underground fights?” That surprised him a little.


    “I used them to hone mybat skills when I had the time. There’s nothing surprising about that. I


    had an even match with Jim and we became close friends after that. But I probably can’t keep up


    with him anymore.”


    It wasn’t that she was worse atbat than Jim. She had just thrown herself into her research. She


    had poured a lot of effort into it too. Now, she just thought ofbat as a way to break herself out of


    monotony.


    “You might be close friends, but did he really have to take you back home in the dead of night? He’s


    Ms. Bonita’s bodyguard, after all.” Ivor kept watching for Bonnie’s reactions.


    Naturally, Ivor meant more than what he said.

    Jim stepped forward and said, “It’s reallyte, and she’s a woman. There’s no way I wouldn’t worry


    about her. Anyway, she saved my life. It’s only right that I keep her safe.”


    “She saved you? You’re way stronger than her. How did she pull that off?” Ivor pressed.


    “Back when I was still into underground fights, one of my opponents knew he couldn’t beat me in a


    fair match, so he got himself a set of brass knuckles and tried to sneak up on me. I ended up


    maiming


    him


    After that, he tried to get revenge on me by poisoning my drink and leading me to a quiet ce to


    ambush me. If Bonnie hadn’t happened to pass by and fend them off, I would have died a long time


    ago,” Jim said, truthfully.
