Gresham and Vera predicted that Bonnie wouldn't have a good attitude toward them and had mentally prepared for it. However, their expressions did change when they faced Bonnie's cold demeanor.
Vera's face darkened as she looked at Bonnie with deep disapproval. "Bonnie, we are your biological parents after all. Is this how you treat us?"
Bonnie shrugged indifferently. "Didn't you disown me a long time ago? What kind of biological parents are you?"
Vera's face turned even more grim.
Before she could say anything that might provoke Bonnie further, Gresham quickly patted her hand to stop her. "Alright, say less."
Vera had to swallow her words, glaring at Bonnie with dissatisfaction.
Gresham, on the other hand, looked at Bonnie with a kind smile. "Bonnie, your mother and I heard that you were nearly injured during the school ribbon-cutting event, so we came to check on you. How are you? Are you alright?"
Bonnie immediately understood their intentions but didn't reveal them. Instead, she responded blandly, "I'm fine. Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to care about me."
The sarcastic undertone in her words made Gresham and Vera feel uncomfortable. The smile on Gresham's face was becoming more challenging to maintain, but he forced it to stay.
"There's no need to thank us. We're family, and it's only right for us to care about you."
Bonnie's tone remained flat and emotionless. "Oh..."
