Ivor knew that Bonnie would be angry about this matter. He was apprehensive about it. He constantly pondered in his mind how to explain this to Bonnie properly.
Now, seeing Bonnie even angrier than he had imagined, panic instantly occupied his heart. He gripped her hand tightly, fearing that his hard-won wife might leave if he let go.
"Honey, I can explain this matter. Don't be angry. Sit down and listen to me carefully."
Bonnie scoffed coldly. "You always lie to me. How do I know if what you tell me is the truth?"
"I can guarantee that what I say is true. If I tell a single lie, I'll be struck by lightning and die!" Ivor raised his hand to swear, his expression unusually serious.
Bonnie furrowed her brows and pressed down his hand. "Alright, who curses themselves like that?"
Ivor saw Bonnie's reaction, and his face lit up with a smile again. "Honey, I knew you’d feel sorry for me."
Bonnie rolled her eyes. "Hurry up and explain to me what you lied to me about."
"Come, let's sit over there on the sofa, and I'll slowly explain it to you," he said as he led her to sit down with him.
Ivor then systematically explained everything about the dispute with the Gemedia Group, the sponsorship bid for Phoenix Jewelry, and the search for Finley.
