Bonnie thought she had passed the test, only to discover that Billy had another trick waiting for her.
Billy's schemes were truly unfathomable, always catching people off guard!
Seeing Bonnie's silence, Billy assumed she was too guilty to speak, and his expression darkened further.
In an icy and harsher tone, he demanded, "Barrett, didn't you hear me? What’s going on? What are you carrying on you?"
Bonnie pursed her lips, feigning a bit of fear.
"Well..."
Billy's anger grew upon seeing her hesitation.
"Speak! What are you carrying?"
Bonnie still didn't answer. Her expression showed slight distress.
As soon as they saw this scene, the subordinates started muttering.
"What's up with Barrett? Why isn't he answering Mr. Billy's repeated questions? Could he be carrying something suspicious?"
"I doubt it. Barrett usually seems honest, not like someone who would hide a weapon."
"They say you can't judge a book by its cover. Barrett may look honest, but that doesn’t mean he is."
"True..." The subordinate glanced at Billy, whose face was grim, and shrank back a bit.
