However, these words reached Ivor, who had just returned from the examination room. Floyd, who was supporting him, also heard these words.
It took Floyd a good ten seconds to digest this information. Then, with wide eyes, he looked at Ivor and asked in disbelief, "Mr. Ivor? Did they just say that Ms. Bonnie is Master Kieran? Is this true?"
Ivor's eyes flickered with a dark and indistinct light, but his voice remained calm. "If it were false, they wouldn't discuss it so naturally."
Floyd scratched the back of his head. "That must be why someone sent an authentic Master Kieran painting when the old one got damaged by moisture. It turns out that they were right beside us all along. Now everything makes sense."
Ivor also recalled the incident. At that time, the butler had received a painting from Kieran at the door. He had found it strange because he had never interacted with Kieran, let alone had any friendship with them.
Why would Kieran then send such a valuable painting out of the blue? He had suspected some ulterior motive.
He remembered that Bonnie was by his side then, and he had discussed the matter with her. Bonnie had responded without any change in expression, so he had never doubted it.
He would never have known if Gresham and Vera had not said the truth out loud!
Bonnie was like a treasure chest, always revealing something unexpected. It made him love her, but at the same time, he was unsure of how to handle her.
When Floyd noticed Ivor's silence, he asked, "Mr. Ivor, what should we do now? Should we follow them?"
