As soon as the words fell, the sound of pping echoed in her ears.


    Bonnie followed the source of the sound and saw a masked man walking out of the vi.


    She narrowed her eyes and calmly assessed him before saying, "Mr. Auguste. Why are you hiding when you were the one who invitedhere?" The masked man paused, then tilted his head back andughed. Then he raised his hand and slowly removed the mask.


    Indeed, the face under the mask was exactly as Bonnie had guessed-Auguste! "You truly live up to your reputation as Ms. Bonita. Your eyes are sharp, and nothing can escape you," Auguste said with a smile.


    "I didn''t chere to listen to ttery." Bonnie''s tone was blunt and to the point. "Where is Ivor?" Auguste maintained his smile. "Ms. Bonita, don''t be in such a hurry. As two leading authorities in the scientificmunity, shouldn''t we catch up a bit?" "Catch up?" Bonnie nced at him indifferently. "I don''t think we''re that close, are we?" Auguste''s smile remained unchanged.


    "I''ve always considered you a friend, Ms. Bonita. But now you''re saying we''re not close? Isn''t that a bit hurtful?" Bonnie lightly scoffed, "Friend? Really? Pardon my ignorance, but I''ve never seen anyone treat their friends like you do." Auguste couldn''t keep up his facade.


    "I didn''t expect you to not only have great research achievements but also be so eloquent," Augustemented, looking somewhat embarrassed.


    He didn''t say much more and quickly made a weing gesture. "I believe you''re eager to see Mr. Ivor. Please." After giving him a cursory nce, Bonnie brushed past him and stepped inside.


    Auguste watched her back, a cold glint shing in his eyes.

    "Close the door." With a creak, the gate slowly closed, cutting off everything outside.


    In the alley, Sienna gradually recovered. She felt the pain in her neck and inhaled sharply.


    Sienna cursed angrily after recalling what had happened. "How dare you, Bonnie? I''ve fallen into your hands three times and I''m fed up with it.


    Just wait. I''ll settle these scores with you sooner orter."  Website  Though angry, Sienna understood that Bonnie''s safety was the most important thing at the moment.


    ''Who knows what the other party might do if she hadn''t gone alone?'' Sienna had to rush back and inform Jim and her grandfather.


    A few minutester, Sienna arrived at the Stel. Seeing Jim passed out on there she hurried over and shook his shoulder anxiously.


    "Jim, wake up. Quickly."
