Chapter 448
Gresham and Trina were listening to Vera’s phone conversation.
“That’s impossible.” He then asked, “What’s the guy’sst name?”
“It sounds like… Knight.”
“The Knight family!” He was shocked. Any Pyralian worth his salt was aware that the Knights were
the city’s wealthiest family.

Then, Trina chimed in, “Perhaps it’s just a coincidence. Or Bonnie made it up. She likes to boast,
after all.”
“I agree with Trina. Bonnie has always loved making up stories when she was still a part of our
family. Sometimes, she imed that she had won some big award in a certain field. Other times,
she said that she was talented,” Vera said.
“You say that, but…” Gresham frowned. “Whatever she said in the past has proved to be true. She
won the Best Schr Award. She’s the miracle doctor. There’s also the fact that she’s extremely
close to the president of Pyralis University…”
The hatred that was burning furiously within Vera and Trina’s hearts fizzled out as soon as they
heard
what he said.
Vera didn’t find her voice until after a long time.
“You’re right. Her words have been proven to be true, but are you seriously going to tell me that you
guys believe her when she says stuff like ‘ssified information‘ and ‘scientific research?”
“Well, I certainly don’t buy it. So I will not believe her when she says she bagged the richest man in
Pyralis. She would have boasted about it a long time ago. Why would she only tell the poverty–
stricken countryfolk who aren’t well–informed?
“I’ll tell you why. It’s because she knows it isn’t true and that the countryfolk are morons,” Vera
analyzed.
“I think your theory is right on the money, Mom.” Trina sighed. “I just don’t get it. Why does Bonnie
have to bluff this way? She could’ve made up any story about her supposed boyfriend but that. Why
does she have to pick the richest man in Pyralis?
“If the Knights learn about this, then she could be… Geez. Why can’t she think about how it might
end sourly for her? She won the Best Schr Award, and she’s the miracle doctor. Why can’t she
just appreciate what she has?
“I’m going to be the winner of the Scientific Research Competition and get into the Bonita
Research Institute. I promise you guys that I’ll never do the things she’s doing now. I’ll work hard
and earn Ms. Bonita’s respect. I’m going to be the pir of the nation.
Vera looked at her daughter gratefully and said, “Attagirl. You have my full support. Bonnie is the
perfect role model for how you should never act. Don’t lose your way and do something that’d
tarnish your
reputation.
“Okay! Leave it to me, Mom. I won’t forget my principles”
“That’s quite enough” Gresham was starting to have some headaches. “It’s fine for you guys to talk
about yourselves, but there’s no need to talk badly about Bonnie.
“Til have you remember that you wouldn’t have been able to return to Pyralis University if she hadn’t
decided to show you some mercy, Trina. You’d never have the chance to participate in the
competition,
then.
“Also, both of you have to keep in mind that Bonnie Isn’t rted to us anymore, So stop talking
about her all the time. It doesn’t matter if she doon well or badly in her life. In fact, I don’t want to
hear her name in my vil
Snuffing out the cigarette, he climbed the stairs, looking troubled.
“Mom. What’s wrong with Dad…?”
“He’ll be fine, Trina. Don’t worry about it. I can see where hees from. I think you could too. We
should do what he says and avoid talking about Bonnie in this vi, especially not in front of him.
“I’ll also call my friends and rtives about this so they don’t bring her up in front of him. Your dad is
right. Bonnie has nothing to do with us now. Talking about her won’t help us in any way.” Vera held
Trina’s hands andforted her..
“Okay. Anything you say, Mom,” Trina was overjoyed and thought, ‘It looks like I’ll always be the
only daughter in the Shepard family.‘
The evening rolled on. Bonnie looked for Ivor everywhere. In the end, she found him in the
watermelon patch.
‘Wait a minute. What’s Amy doing there with him?”
