“We’re not close, so stop saying my name in that tone, I don’t want my fiancee getting jealous,” Ivor
indifferently cut Rowena off.

Rowena felt another stab through her heart. Her eyes reddened as she said pitifully, “The Knights
and the Pauls have maintained a healthy rtionship for three generations. You can’t do this to me.”
Ivor retorted, “Are you trying to pin things on me?! You were mean to Bonnie several times, and I
saw them all. How convenient that you forgot about them.”
Rowena could not take it anymore.
‘What does he mean I was mean to Bonnie?! On the contrary, she shamed me whenever I tried to
do something. Can’t he see that?‘
At that moment, Ivor’s butler came over and said, “Sir, Mr. Xavier is here.”
“What’s he doing here?”
“He said he’s here for Ms. Bonnie.”
Halle and Rowena swapped nces and started muttering with each other.
“Do you think Xavier’s here for her because she offended him out there? Is he here to settle the
score with her?”
“Given what we know about Bonnie, it seems highly likely. You know how arrogant she is.”
“Wonderful. I hope we can see Xavier teaching her a lessonter. That’ll show Ivor how much of a
troublemaker she is. She’s ruthless, ignorant, and despicable. An ipetent sap like her would
only bring trouble to the Knight family.”
Meanwhile, Xavier approached Ivor and went straight to the point. “Is Bonnie here?”
“What can I do you for?” Bonnie opened the door and walked out of her room.
Xavier lowered his head and apologized, “I’m here to apologize to you, Bonnie. I hope you’ll find
mercy in your heart to forgive me.”
‘Say what now?!‘
Halle and Rowena were so shocked that their jaws were about to hit the ground.
The Sheffyns had been a rival family to the Knights for as long as they could remember. Xavier had
never even been this polite to Ivor under normal circumstances.
‘What in the world is happening here?!‘
Bonnie looked at Xavier coldly. “It’s crucial to y fair in a race. It was bad enough you tried to win
through deceptions and tricks, but you just had to try and kill me. How do you expect me to forgive
you after that? You got me fucked up.”

Navier tensed. He had already lowered himself to her level and acted so humbly. Thest thing he
expected was for her to take advantage of it.
“It was an honest misunderstanding, Bonnie. It’s easy to make an enemy, but it’d be challenging to
bury the hatchet. Why make yourself another enemy?”
“Are you threatening me?” She squinted.
“How could I? You’re smart and kind, I believe you won’t kick a man when he’s down.”
“Stop putting me on a pedestal, Navier. Also, stop trying to manipte me while you’re at it. If I
didn’t have fast reflexes, I would’ve died that day. It doesn’t matter what you say, I’ll never forgive
you. I’d appreciate it if you’d stop bugging mel”
With that, she returned to her room. Xavier was about to follow and argue his case, but Ivor stopped
him, saying, “Um, what she said. Good luck, Xavier.”
Navier was furious. “She doesn’t see the bigger picture. So, why are you going along with her, Ivor?
You might be in cahoots with Tang Fusion Studios, but that doesn’t mean you can take the Sheffyns
down without casualties. Don’t push us to a corner, or we’ll take you down with us.”
On the other hand, Ivor did not want to waste more time with Xavier. “See our guest out, Alfred.”
“Roger that, sir.” Alfred stepped forward and told Xavier, “This way, please.”
Xavier was steaming with rage, “Fine! We’ll see how it goes!”
After returning to his vi, he posted a request on the SR League. Soon after, Bonnie received a
text from William. “My, my. You’re worth a lot, Bonnie. The Sheffyns posted a request for your head.
They offered a one billion dor reward.”
That piqued Bonnie’s interest. “Did you ept it?”
“Come on. Do you think I’d ept it?”
After some thought, she sent a reply, “I’ll ept the request.
