I Love You, Miss Genius ( Bonnie Shepard ) novel Chapter 613

Trina stopped talking immediately and began to sweat bullets.

‘I just can’t afford to offend Bonnie. She’s too high above me now, and I can never act recklessly in her presence.’

“Bonnie, be reasonable. Trina is just—”

Before Harold could finish, Bonnie casually interjected, “Drop it. I’ll never change my mind. Also, let me remind you that you made an official announcement. You stated that I have nothing to do with the family, even if I thrived or suffered.

“So, will you make another announcement saying you regret your decision because you were a poor judge of character? Will you admit you’ve mistaken a valuable asset for a piece of trash? I wonder if that means you’ll offer me a solemn apology.

“I refuse to believe you and your wife will publicly apologize to me. Are you sure you can do something that will refute your previous statement and humiliate yourself?”

Harold and Yolanda were furious. However, they knew she was right and that they could never do something like that. The older couple refused to bring shame to themselves. However, if Bonnie wanted to rejoin the family and ask for their mercy, they would do it.

Bonnie said mockingly, “Don’t count on me rejoining the family. I won’t bat an eye, even if you put down your pride and bring the whole family to beg me.”

She glanced at Bailey standing nearby and added, “Bailey, show them the door.”

Yolanda quivered with rage and pointed at Bonnie. “You’ll regret this, Bonnie!”

Bonnie smirked, her eyes filled with sarcasm. “Hmph, I don’t know the meaning of regret.”

The older woman held her chest. “You insolent little brat! What did we do to deserve an ungrateful scum like you?”

Bailey was displeased with how shameless the Shepards were. He scoffed and marched over to show them the door. He said sternly, “Please leave!”

Orson glanced at Harold and the other two smugly. “Why are you idiots still here? You’re sure as hell not joining us for dinner. Since pride matters most to you, I doubt you can put it aside.”

He sounded so sarcastic that it angered Harold, but even so, the latter could say nothing. He took his wife’s arm and pulled her to the door while Trina lowered her head and followed. When she reached the door, something compelled her to glance at Bonnie.

Trina’s former stepsister stood among people who respected and admired her. Trina did not know when it happened, but the gap between her and Bonnie grew too wide. The former knew she could never achieve the same things Bonnie could.

Yolanda and Harold were about to get into their car when they realized Trina was not with them. The older woman barked, “Trina, what are you waiting for?! Hurry up!”

Trina returned to her senses and ran to her grandparents. “I’m coming, Grandma!”

An hour later, the trio reached home.
