Chapter 74
“I think I’m being clear enough. Nothing good will come from your relationship with him. Anyway, your engagement is ending soon. You’ll go back to being a nobody once the clock runs out on your little agreement.
“There’s no way I’ll let you go back to your old life and suffer. You’d be better off with me. You can buy all sorts of bags and jewelry. And let’s get something out of the way. I’ll never marry you. After all, you’re from a humble background. My parents would never agree to it anyway.”
“Is that all?” Bonnie was getting annoyed.
Flynn thought he had given her the best terms possible. There was no way Bonnie would turn him down now. He was feeling good about himself and didn’t notice the disdain on her face.
“That’s all I have to say. What do you think? I bet you can’t wait to jump at the offer.”
She clenched her fist and said, “Not really, but I do have a strong urge to beat you to a pulp.”
Flynn was stunned.
“Get out of my sight. I’m losing my appetite just looking at you.
“Why, you little…!” Flynn was about to get mad when he thought of something and smirked. “Oh, I know. Did you turn me down because you were worried someone might have heard what I said? It’s okay. We’re kind of far away from everyone else. No one will know about this.”
Bonnie no longer wanted to talk to him. She treated him like he was invisible and let him ramble on.
Flynn noticed she was quiet and took her silence as a yes. He looked at her figure and checked to see if there was anyone around him before reaching out to touch her.
He asked for this! Jim lifted his leg to kick Flynn.
Bonnie noticed and realized she probably shouldn’t let Jim hurt one of the Knight family members. It would be difficult to clean up that mess, and his real identity could be exposed.
So, she moved faster and swung her leg at Flynn’s groin.
“Ouch!” Flynn yelled out in pain. He closed his legs and took several steps back. His face turned red and he started sweating profusely.
“Flynn!” His mother, Sydney Zimmerman, ran over in concern. “Are you okay?”
“Owww. It hurts, Mom.”
“Damn you, you bitch! How dare you kick my son?!” Sydney roared.
Bonnie looked at them condescendingly. “He had it coming.”
“You’re really full of yourself. How dare you say that when you kicked him, you hick!”

“Full of myself? Me? Why don’t you ask your dear son what he did?”
Ivor walked over to them as she spoke and stood by Bonnie. He didn’t say or do anything, but it was clear that he was there to support Bonnie.
Gunnar Knight, Flynn’s father, heard the ruckus and came over. When he saw his son holding his groin, he asked, “What on earth happened here?“.
