I Love You, Miss Genius ( Bonnie Shepard ) novel Chapter 1036

"No," Bonnie replied. Then she meticulously recounted everything that had transpired to Ivor.

Ivor raised his eyebrows and asked. "He managed to find support in such a short amount of time? Your subordinate is quite capable!"

Bonnie rolled her eyes at him after sensing a hint of sarcasm in his tone. "Given the situation now, there's no point in dwelling on it. We should focus on figuring out how to solve the current problem."

Ivor chuckled at her words. "So you do need my help after all. I thought you wouldn't want me to get involved."

Bonnie didn't rise to Ivor's teasing. "If you don't care about your 1.6 billion, you can leave. No one is forcing you."

Ivor hadn't joined Bonnie in capturing Falcon because he wanted to build goodwill with her, hoping to extend the chip loan period in the future. However, Bonnie's response seemed a bit ungrateful.

Still, he didn't want to quibble. The immediate priority was to find Falcon.

"Of course, I want the money," he said, pausing briefly before narrowing his deep-set eyes and sharing his plan. "We should post a bounty on the dark web and observe which organization reacts the most. This will help us deduce who took Falcon.

“Many organizations don't know about our alliance. Since we're both prominent on the international stage, learning about our cooperation will make them wary, leading them to possibly make mistakes. We can use these clues to uncover the truth."

Bonnie looked at Ivor with newfound respect. "That's a pretty good plan. I didn't think of that."

She had expended a lot of energy trying to capture Falcon and had just been through a fight, making it hard to think clearly.

"It's not that you didn't think of it; you're just exhausted," Ivor remarked, believing that with the Nidhogg leader’s intelligence, coming up with such a plan would be easy.

Bonnie raised her finely shaped eyebrows. "I didn't expect you to understand me so well."

"It's not that I understand you; I trust your intellect and capabilities. Given your wit, it's impossible for you not to think of this," Ivor said.

Though they were both allies and rivals, he didn't shy away from giving credit where it was due.

Bonnie's eyebrows arched even higher. "I'm not sure if you're complimenting me or mocking me."

Ivor laughed softly. "I'm complimenting you. When did I ever mock you?"
