    “What?!” Bonnie picked her ear andughed, saying, “Xavier spent a billion on this ginseng, and


    you’re trying to buy it from with for fifty grand? You must have a screw loose, Vera.”


    Avril and Kay echanged nces. They were speechless because of Vera’s outrageous demand.


    Vera was furious as she said, “Are you honestly asking for more? Do you know how critical the


    condition of Trina’s grandfather is? Saving his life is the right thing to do.

    “I’ve done my part by offering fifty grand for the ginseng. I’m not even asking you to give it to me for


    free. You have your panties in a bunch.”


    Bonnie could no longer bear her estranged mother. The former had decided to leave the Shepards


    because she knew Vera and Gresham’s character too well. Once she left, she would have nothing


    to do with them.


    “Fuck this, Bonnie! I’m sorry, but she’s the biggest scumbag there is. I can’t stand her anymore.


    She’s the worst human being I’ve ever met.” Kay was so frustrated that she had to pat her chest to


    calm herself down.


    Vera could not tolerate Kay’s insults. The former said, “I know you’re Master Orson’s granddaughter,


    Kay. Still, it doesn’t mean you can insult me.”


    Kay retorted, arms akimbo, “Can you me me? Even if Trina’s grandfather is ill, you can’t guilt trip


    Bonnie. She’s not obligated to save anyone in your family. Would you have demanded the ginseng


    if Xavier had it instead of Bonnie? You wouldn’t have guilt- tripped him, correct?”


    Vera pursed her lips as her eyes reddened.


    “I thought so. You wouldn’t dare if someone else had the ginseng. You’d never have offered fifty


    grand for it, either. You’re only doing it to Bonnie because you hate her. You never considered her


    your daughter.


    “Whenever you see her getting something good, you try to snatch it. How can such a bitch like you


    be a mother? I’ve never met anyone so wicked. Bonnie must feel


    humiliated to have a mother like you!” Kay was irritated.


    Meanwhile, Avril resisted her urge to p in delight.


    ‘Kay tore Vera a new one!‘

    Although Vera wanted to retort, Kay was a member of the Steele family. The former could not fight


    with Kay and offend Orson. After all, it would hinder the Shepards‘ future. Even so, she was not


    about to back off and do nothing to Bonnie.


    “It’s between you and me, Bonnie. I’ll meet you halfway and pay you a hundred grand for the


    ginseng. There, I doubled my offer.”


    Bonnie looked at Vera indifferently and said, “I won’t sell it to you for that little. Here’s an idea. Call


    the cops and tell them to arrest me instead. Tell them I refuse to sell you the ginseng for a billion


    dors, and you offered me a whopping hundred grand for it.


    “While you’re at it, why not tell them how outrageous I am for not selling it to you? They might help


    you and put me behind bars.”


    “Why, you little-” Although furious, Vera did everything she could not to p her former daughter.


    Kay gave Bonnie a thumbs up and said, “That’s a great idea, Bonnie!”


    Thetter frowned and said, “I’d much rather not be so harsh to the woman I once called my


    mother.”


    Kay wanted to say something but was at a loss. She thought it must be depressing to have a


    terrible mother like Vera.


    ‘Bonnie might’ve moved on from them, but it’d be a lie to say she didn’t feel anything about her


    former family. Surely, there’s some lingering resentment for how they treated her. That’s right!


    Bonnie might been an awesomedy, but she still has feelings.‘


    Meanwhile, Ivor’s heart throbbed in pain when he sensed the helplessness in Bonnie’s tone. He


    could not bear how soul–crushing it must be for her now. He held her hand tofort her and


    turned her to look at him.
