Chapter 192
“What did you say? Irene, don’t think I won’t p your Malinda was all fired up, seemingly bothered by
me calling her Bonnie’spdog.
My friends, hearing Malinda’s outburst, gathered around
“You think we wouldn’t p you too?” Barbara rolled up her sleeves
Louis looked helpless As a guy, he shouldn’t get involved in a catfight, but Malinda was his girlfriend,
and we were all acquainted with him.
He pulled Malinda behind him, “Enough, enough We’re all friends here Can we stop this hostility?”
“Louis, are you blind? Why would you pick her as your girlfriend? She has no conscience, do you have
one?” Ste bluntly asked.
Louis’s face changed slightly. He awkwardly chuckled, not responding.
Malinda was at her breaking point. She was the one who persistently went after Louis, and now Ste
was saying she didn’t deserve him?
“Say that again? Malinda pointed at Ste, her eyes zing.
Tension was in the air. Some staff hade over to try to defuse the situation.
“Malinda, what’s wrong?” Sudderly Bonnie’s voice chimed in Her eyes were red and swollen as if she’d
just been crying. She looked at us, puzzled.
Kate Aaron was in the same state. They probably just got back from the cemetery.
I had to admire Bonnie. She really considered herself Karina.
“Bonnie, Kate, are you okay?” Malinda immediately asked with concem as soon as she saw them.
Kate shook her head. “We’re fine, just a little upset. What’s going on between you and them ”
She nced at me, her distaste for me apparent in her eyes.
Malinda immediately fell bolstered, Louis and I came here to wait for you guys, but we ran into trene.
They have no manners, even openly insulted me, calling me a bitch!
At that moment, a woman nearby spoke up, “It was you who started it all with your ranting, disturbing
them. Isn’t that why they said those things about you?”
I turned to look at the woman She had short hair with red highlights, silver earrings, and a nose ring,
giving her a rebellious look.
Seeing me look at her, she gave me a smile
I inexplicably liked her appearance, so I returned her smile with a grateful one.
“Malinda was at a loss for words after being exposed by the short–haired woman
“Malinda, it’s fine. Let’s just drop il Bonnie wiped her eyes and put on a magnanimous face.
Kate checked the time and urged. ‘Bonnue, let’s go. My mom and Neil are waiting for us
She emphasized Neil’s name as if afraid I wouldn’t hear it clearly
Bonnie nodded and took Malinda’s hand, “Malinda, why don’t you and Louise with us? We can all
have dinner together.”
“Sure!” Malinda cheered up immediately, “After all, Lous and Nell are good friends. It’s just like a
friends‘ get–together!”
Louis gave me an apologetic look, seemingly helpless
After Bonnie and her group left, Ste couldn’t hold back, “What the hell is Neil up to? Is he getting
back together with Bonnie?”
I shrugged, replying nonchntly. “Who knows?”

Despite his apparent dislike for Bonnie, he could still go with her to pay respects to Karina and then
have a casual dinner with her. I suddenly remembered the scene a few days ago when Neil asked me
for one more chance. It was ridiculous.
If I had agreed to him, wouldn’t I be the joke of the century now?
“Whitmore Co. and Harmony Enterprises used to coborate, and they even almost worked on a
project together, but due to some issues, it fell through. Neil and Abner should know each other, so
inviting his wife and daughter for a meal seems normal? Alicia said.
I wasn’t very clear about these things. I used to only care about my love life, so I didn’t know much
about either mypany or Whitmore Co
But I was inexplicably upset now. Thinking about what happened between Neil and me a few days ago,
I felt yed.
“I’m going horne, I told Ste and the others
“Give me a lit” Ste immediately caught up with Le in her arms, “Mitch is busy today He can’t pick
me up”
So, I drove Ste home Alicia and Barbara each took their cars. After the four of us parted ways, I
headed for Ste’s house.
I was pretty quiet on the way. Ste broke the silence. “Rena, you seemed upset after hearing that Nell
was waiting for Bonnie, didn’t you?”
Among my three friends, Ste knew me the best and was the most direct with me.
“Not at all I’m just a bit tired and want to go to sleep. I denied.
“Don’t lie to me,” Ste didnt buy it, “I can tell something’s off by the look on your face. You’re not telling
me, right?”
Just as she firushed speaking, my phone rang. It was a call from Neil.
Without a second thought, I hung up
Chapter 192
After hanging up four or five calls in a row, I turned off my phone. I didn’t want to hear Neil’s crap. If he
was going to have dinner with Bonnig and her group, why would he still have time to contact me?
As soon as I turned off my phone, Ste’s phone rang.
Again, it was Neil.
“What do you want?” Ste answered on speakerphone
“Is Irene with you?” Neil asked.
“Do you have a split personality? Waiting for Bonnie on one hand and contacting Rena on the other?”
Ste cursed, “Bastard! Leave Rena alone! Since things between you and Bonnie are unclear, stop
bothering her
Neil paused for a moment, then asked, somewhat speechless, I’m waiting for Bonnie to have dinner
together. Who said that?”
“Cut the act. Weren’t you just worshiping at the altar of Karina today? Neil, you told Mitch you regretted
it and wanted to make it up to Rena. All lies, huh?” Ste’s anger grew with every ward she said.
Finally, she just started cursing. “You jerk! Stay the hell away from her
I listened to their conversation without uttering a word
Before Neil could exin, Ste had already hung up. She turned to me and said, “Rena, don’t you
listen to Neils crap. He’s not trying to make things right with you, he’s just ying your*
“Don’t worry, I m not that naive,” Iughed, “My mom wants me to start working at herpany in a
few days. I’ll be a working woman then, won’t have much time to think about all this.”
“Good,” Ste breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, her eyes caught something in the distance, “Isn’t that
Russel standing in front of my house?”
I took a closer look, and it was indeed him. Russel was chatting with Mitch about something. He looked
noticeably more run–down than he was a few days ago
