I Love You, Miss Genius ( Bonnie Shepard ) novel Chapter 1331

Falcon looked at Bonnie, recalling the time she got injured to save him and the times they had a great conversation. Bonnie had put her life on the line for him and trusted him completely, treating him like a close brother.

‘If I couldn't even stand up for him now, wouldn't that be disgraceful?’

Falcon made a firm decision. He took a deep breath and looked at Billy with a forced smile. "Billy, what you said is a bit too severe. Anyone else, sure, but Bonnie almost gave his life to save us... If you don't trust her now because of the chip, isn't that a bit..."

He left the sentence unfinished, but the implication was clear.

Billy glanced at Falcon, then at Bonnie, and finally settled his gaze back on Falcon. "Alright, I'll trust you on this. But if anything goes wrong, you're the first person I'll come after!"

Bonnie stepped forward to "help" Falcon. "Billy, don't pressure Falcon. I can take responsibility for myself. If anything happens to the chip while I'm decrypting it, I'll take full responsibility."

Falcon didn't expect Bonnie to stand up for him, and he felt deeply touched.

"Are you sure?" Billy narrowed his eyes and stared straight into Bonnie’s eyes as if trying to see through her. But after a while, he could only see her clear and unwavering confidence.

"I'm sure!" Bonnie responded with a firm lift of her chin.

No matter Billy's doubts about her, she just needed to say what he wanted to hear and get past this moment. If Billy wanted her to be accountable, it would have to be within the confines of the Nidhogg Organization anyway.

"Fine! I'll trust you this time," Billy agreed reluctantly.

The chip was extremely important to him; it was crucial for his plan to unify the major international organizations. As they got closer to cracking it, he felt increasingly anxious. He had wanted to stay and watch the decryption process himself.

This made him a bit displeased, but despite his annoyance, he had to go along with what Bonnie said. She was the one decrypting the chip, and if he didn't cooperate and she decided to quit, where would he find someone as skilled as her?

Upon seeing this, Bonnie gave Billy a reassuring look and said, "Billy, you've known me long enough to understand my character. Besides, you’ll be right outside. I can't exactly sprout wings and fly away, can I?"

Billy realized she had a point. He pinched his brow lightly before speaking, "You're right, I might have overreacted. You all know how important this chip is to me. With decryption so close, I'm just overly tense. I apologize."
