After leaving Bonnie’s room last night, Leo could not shake the feeling that something fishy had happened. He had honed his senses over the past several decades as a member of the army, and it told him that something had happened.
‘I’m certain the person wearing the military uniform entered and escaped through the window.’
He checked the security footage and compared it meticulously. That was when he discovered his daughter had barged into Bonnie’s room. He then ordered his men to gather the rest of the footage to search for anyone suspicious.
A minute ago, his men sussed Sienna out. Leo ordered, “Take her away and send her back to Pyralis!”
“No! I refuse to go back!” Sienna struggled. “Please, I can’t go back now, Grandpa! I made a bet with Bonnie and can’t return to Pyralis empty-handed!”
“Hold it right there.” He raised his hand and the army men holding his granddaughter stopped.
“What did you just say? Wh-Who did you make a bet with?”
Sienna gritted her teeth and told her grandfather everything that happened last night. “That’s the whole story, Grandpa. I can’t afford to lose my bet with Bonnie. If I do, she’ll have total control over my life.”
Leo’s jaw hit the ground. Although Sienna was worked up, he looked at her like she was a moron. Sienna continued, “Grandpa, if you want me to take responsibility for my actions, you’ll have to reprimand Bonnie, too. I wasn’t the only one in Ms. Bonita’s room last night.
“Bonnie was there, too. If you send me back to Pyralis, you’ll have to do the same to her, or it won’t be fair!”
Leo sighed and massaged his temples.
‘I used to be proud of Sienna because she was talented. However, she looks more like an idiot as the days pass. She doesn’t even know Bonnie’s playing her like a fiddle.’
As he felt disappointed in his granddaughter, Bonnie appeared from behind him and said, “Leo, she’s your granddaughter. I don’t think she meant any harm. Let her stay.”
Sienna whipped around and saw a masked Bonnie. The former’s eyes sparkled instantly as she exclaimed, “Ms. Bonita!”
