Chapter 111
Bonnie noticed the incoming slap and stepped back to avoid it. She then said, “I remember first going to the countryside. You slapped me then because Trina framed me for pushing her down the stairs, even though she did it on purpose.
“At that moment, I swore to myself that it would be the last time I let Trina set me up. I decided that no one could slap me if I didn’t do anything wrong!”
“That’s outrageous! What did I do to deserve someone as heartless as you? You’re such a sorry excuse of a daughter!” Vera was exasperated.
Harold stared at Gresham bitterly and roared, “It’s bad enough that Bonnie embarrassed herself, but she made such a huge mess of Trina’s engagement party. Everyone will laugh at us over this!”
Yolanda had also grown sick of Bonnie. “I told you she’s a country bumpkin! You can try to teach her all you want, but nothing will help. Good on you for not listening to me. Take her back to where she came from. Take her as far away as possible.”
Gresham sighed, approached Bonnie, and raised his hand.
“What, are you going to slap me too?” Bonnie stood her ground indifferently.
Floyd was worried about how things would turn out and quickly texted Ivor to tell him about everything that was happening there. Ivor’s expression grew grim when he read the text and replied, “Video call me now.”
“Right away.” Floyd made a video call, and Ivor accepted it.
Almost immediately after, the latter understood the situation. The entire Shepard family had pitted themselves against Bonnie. They were frowning at her as if they could not wait to get rid of her.
It was a heartbreaking sight for Ivor.
Gresham stared at Bonnie solemnly. “You have one last chance to apologize to Trina. If you refuse, I’ll disown you!”
“You’ve never treated me as your own to begin with.” Bonnie stared back at him defiantly.
“Why, you-” Gresham was outraged. “It seems you refuse to apologize, after all. If you don’t give a damn about your status as one of the Shepards, then suit yourself. From now on, the Shepards disown you. Crawl back to the countryside and live the rest of your life with your pathetic foster parents!”
