Chapter 133


    Chapter 133


    In the evening, I shared Neil’s words with my girlfriends in our chat group.


    Ste and the others started analyzing it like detectives. Ste said, “Rena, didn’t you see Neil asking


    for Bonnie’s contact info with your own eyes? Doesn’t that mean he was the one who started chasing


    her?”


    Barbara countered, “Not necessarily Just because he asked for her phone number doesn’t mean he’s


    after her I think Neil may be a bit of a jerk, but I don’t think he would be to Rena”


    Ste added, “I am really confused, what the heck are these two up to? It’s such a headache!”


    Alicia also chimed in, “Regardless, ording to my gut feeling, Bonnie is not as simple as she


    seems…”


    Ste continued. “You’re right, the ones who seem innocent are the most cunning when they’re ying


    mind games. Rena, you’re divorced now, don’t overthink it, and it’s best not to meet Bonnie or Neil in


    the future. You three just don’t mix well”


    As I watched their analysis, an image of Russel popped into my mind. Maybe he knew something? I


    gave Russel a call, and he picked up right away.


    “When are you free? I have something to ask you,” I asked


    I’m free now Can we meet up?” Russel didn’t ask me what was the matter.


    “Okay, I’lle find you because it’s not very convenient for you toe over, I picked up my car keys


    and headed out, “Where are you now?”


    Half an hourter, I met Russel at a restaurant


    I had a lot of questions in mind, hoping he could help me clear some up, and put my doubts to rest.


    “Russel, did Neil ever tell you how he pursued Bonnie?” I asked straightforwardly.


    “What happened?” Russel was a bit puzzled, “Why are you suddenly asking this?”


    I took a sip of water, “Just curious, did Neil tell you?”


    Russel pondered for a moment, then shook his head, “He didn’t mention it specifically.”


    It seemed Russel was also in the dark about this Seeing my puzzled look, he tried to ask, “Did Neil tell


    you something?”


    If it were before, I might think Russel would also fall for Bonnie, so I could share the story of Neil and


    Bonnie with him. But not now, he obviously had feelings for me, so I didn’t want to reveal too much


    about Neil. I just shook my head, “No, it’s just a question that popped into my head.”


    Even though I said that, I was actually very curious

    My phone started vibrating. It was a message from Ste, “Rena, I got some dirt from Mitch!”


    My heart raced as I quickly replied to her, “Spill.”


    Ste tried to start a voice call, but I rejected it because Russel was still across from me. I asked her to


    text instead. Soon she sent a string of messages, “Mitch used to help Neile up with a lot of ideas


    to court girls, so he knows the most about Neil and Bonnie. I’m really shocked. This is SO surprising!”


    Through Ste’s words, I finally understood the meaning of Neil’s words in the elevator. He did ask for


    Bonnie’s contact info, because he thought she looked a lot like Karina the moment he saw her. But it


    wasn’t Neil who first reached out to Bonnie, instead it was Bonnie who got Neil’s number from some


    person in charge. So Bonnie sent a message to Neil asking why he asked for her contact info from the


    person in charge.


    That was how they got to know each other.


    Ste sent a message, “Wow, the top predator indeed makes her entrance as a prey. That’s all Mitch


    told me, he won’t tell me how Neil pursued Bonnie. I’ll press him more, and let you know ASAP when I


    get something new”


    I was speechless, and then I closed the screen. But at this moment, there was a turmoil in my heart.


    In my past life and in this life, the circumstances of Neil and Bonnie’s encounter should not change. In


    my past life, Bonnie also took the initiative to contact Neil But because I was reborn, things changed


    after they met.


    In my past life, although Bonnie took the initiative to approach Neil, in the end Neil fell in love with her


    and she seeded.


    But in this life, Neil had changed because of my changes, and it seemed that up to this point, he didn’t


    love her.


    “What are you thinking about?” Russel asked softly after I had been silent for a while.


    He looked at me with a rare gentleness in his eyes.


    Looking at Russels charming face, I felt a wave of sympathy I seemed to understand how he fell in love


    with Bonnie in my past life. It was very likely that Bonnie fabricated a story about being forced by Neil,


    and Russel went from helpless to moved, and then to falling in love with her.


    Because he once told me about Bonnie. In his view, Bonnie was a weak and helpless poor girl, and


    everything was forced on her by Neil. Plus, Bonnie and


    Karina were so simr, how could Russel be indifferent?


    And my understanding of the story between Neil and Bonnie mainly came from Russel, so I thought


    Neil forced her. I was fooled by Bonnie in two lifetimes, and Neil, for some reason, never exined to


    me.


    Bonnie’s skills really opened my eyes


    1 was thinking what kind of person Bonnie really is I said with a forcedugh. “Do you think she was


    really forced by Neil? Or did she know Neil’s Identity and my identity from the beginning?”


    That would be terrifying, and I got goosebumps just thinking about it.


    After I was reborn, did she already know who I was when I was at the café? And when she bumped


    into me and Neil at the conference, did she pretend


    not to see the rtionship between us?


    Later, when she and I were in the car on the way to meet Oscar for dinner, she actually sent a


    message to Neil first. Then, while we were eating, she received a reply from Neil. The unease and


    worry she exhibited, was it all for show?


    This was so terrifying, truly scary.


    “I’m not sure, but she’s definitely not as innocent as she seems, Russel calmly replied. “I didn’t really


    care about these things, but after you came to me, I purposefully paid attention to her and found out


    she’s really good at pretending.”


    I didn’t expect that I unknowingly changed Russel’s view of Bonnie. Otherwise, Bonnie could still y


    the helpless character in front of him. With her face that was extremely simr to Karina’s, she can


    easily manipte two rich hunks.


    She intentionally made Russel sympathize with her, fall for her, probably to solidify her position with


    Neil. After all, onlypetition created pressure.


    I reallyfelt that, if I had half of Bonnie’s cunning, would I still spend ten years chasing Neil?!


    “I admit, I lost to her, I didn’t want to say anything anymore, and I lost my appetite for the meal. I just


    stood up with a bitter smile, “I’m leaving first.”


    T’ll go with you, Russel also stood up.


    “You’ll go with me?” I was a bit confused.


    “I didn’t drive here today, so if it’s convenient, you can drop me off first,” Russel made a casual request.


    “Alright, let’s roll”
