I Love You, Miss Genius ( Bonnie Shepard ) novel Chapter 1019

Although suspicious, Ivor decided to stop dwelling on the subject. It was as Bonnie said. Their relationship was strictly professional, and digging deeper was unnecessary.

“All right, you can slowly stand up now. I’ll see if I can grab something to help you out.” Bonnie pressed against the hole’s edge to stabilize herself and prevent falling.

“Got it.” Ivor gathered his thoughts and slowly straightened up with Bonnie on his shoulders.

As she saw more light, she noticed a black object and quickly withdrew her hand. Suddenly, a snap echoed as a mouse trap triggered where her hand had been. There were more traps scattered around the hole’s perimeter.

Bonnie’s expression turned cold, shocked that Falcon had set up multiple layers of traps and nested more within them. It made it nearly impossible to avoid them all.

Ivor felt her trembling and asked, “What’s happening up there?”

“Slowly lower yourself for me to get down,” Bonnie replied.

He carefully did as she said and allowed her to climb off his shoulders. Then, she dusted her hands and calmly explained, “We can’t get out yet, but don’t worry. I have a device that can send a signal to Collin. Once it reaches him, he’ll bring our men to save us.”

Ivor stood up and looked at the Nidhoggs’ leader. “What’s it like up there?”

“Falcon placed plenty of mousetraps around the edges. If I get careless, I’ll trigger them. He wants to trap us here.” Bonnie sighed regretfully. “Falcon has a real talent for setting up traps, but he misused his intelligence.”

Although Falcon betrayed her, she could not deny his exceptional trap design and setting skills.

Ivor glanced at her in surprise. “Despite all he’s done to you, you still admire his talent. You have a broad mind.”

“It’s not about that. I simply give credit where it’s due. After all, Falcon was my student. This situation we’re in is a testament to my teachings. As his mentor, I can’t help but feel a certain satisfaction, even if the circumstances are far from ideal.”

Bonnie sent a signal from her wrist device and added, “There, I sent my signal. Now, we just have to wait for Collin and the others to come and rescue us.”

Ivor felt amused by her perspective. He smiled helplessly and replied, “Different perspectives lead to different things, right? You have an interesting outlook.”

“It’s just the truth.” Bonnie shrugged before finding a corner to sit in. “Let’s rest and wait for my guys to arrive.”

Ivor sat across her, saying, “I have a signal device, too. Should I get my people to help?”

“No need for that.” After some thought, Bonnie formulated a plan. “Let my guys handle the rescue, and tell your people to form a perimeter around the villa to prevent Falcon from escaping. If I’m right, he’ll probably try to flee if he knows I’m trapped.”

Ivor nodded, appreciating the strategic thoughts behind her plan.
