I Love You, Miss Genius ( Bonnie Shepard ) novel Chapter 1319

Ironically, Falcon was ignored and overlooked after their leader trained him. Falcon didn't want to end up like this, but his leader's disregard forced him into his current situation.

Bonnie listened, momentarily unsure of how to react. Before Falcon betrayed her, she considered Collin and Falcon her most reliable subordinates.

Bonnie hadn’t handed the organization over to Falcon because she knew he was too ambitious. Over the years, she had kept his ambitions in check, and Falcon never dared to show his true colors.

Her focus was primarily on research, so she had no energy to manage the organization. After much consideration, she decided to entrust the management to Collin to prevent Falcon from running unchecked and potentially leading the organization down a harmful path.

What she hadn’t anticipated was the profound impact this decision had on Falcon. Regrettably, such a promising talent ended up in a situation where they now faced each other as enemies because of one wrong decision.

Bonnie sighed almost imperceptibly, her eyes reflecting a hint of regret. However, regardless of the regret, what was done was done.

She stood by her principles: no matter how much Falcon expressed his remorse, she would adhere to the rules and show no leniency. The mistake was his, and he must bear the consequences.

Falcon forced a bitter smile when he saw Bonnie’s silence. “Barrett, why aren’t you saying anything? Do you think I’m selfish? My leader treated me well, and yet I betrayed him.”

Bonnie gathered her thoughts and reassuringly patted Falcon’s shoulder. “No, I don’t think you’re selfish. Maybe it’s just that our paths diverged.”

Although she had cursed Falcon countless times in her heart, she maintained her façade as Barrett.

“Really? Do you truly think that?” Falcon’s eyes lit up, feeling he had found a kindred spirit. He had expected Barrett to scold him for his selfishness and then try to persuade him otherwise. But to his surprise, Barrett understood his thoughts.

He felt an innate connection with Barrett, as if they were destined to be great friends.

“Yes, that’s what I think. I’ve always believed you were a good person. You just shared so much with me, and I understand your position. You just wanted to be valued by your mentor, right?”

Bonnie spoke, her finely arched eyebrows twitching slightly. Although speaking insincerely to empathize with a traitor was deeply uncomfortable, it was necessary for her role. She reassured herself that this charade would end soon once the chip was retrieved.

"Yes! I just wanted his recognition. If he wasn’t going to value me, why wouldn’t I turn to Mr. Billy?” Falcon grew more animated as he spoke. “Barrett, you truly understand me!”
