Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled novel Chapter 151

Bonnie could tell I was intentionally mocking her, and her expression turned extremely unpleasant.

Kate wanted to argue with me, but Bonnie stopped her. "Kate, I'm okay. I need to talk to Irene."

"Bonnie, what if she hurts you? You need to take care of yourself…" Kate looked really worried.

She was as protective of her sister's heart as Neil was.

Bonnie shook her head, "I'm fine, Kate. Irene won't do anything to me."

Kate shot me a wary look. I smirked at her, provoking her. "You better keep her away from me if you don't want me to do anything."

"Bonnie, we don't need to deal with her. Your health is the most important thing. Let's go find Neil." Kate held onto Bonnie's arm tightly.

"Kate, I'm fine!" Bonnie shook her off, annoyance flashing in her eyes.

She was so ungrateful.

Kate left with a sigh. Bonnie turned to me, "Irene, did Neil give you an agreement? About re-dividing property?"

I was slightly surprised. Despite her severe illness, she managed to hold onto every detail so well. She really was incredibly diligent.

I didn't say anything, just smiled at Bonnie. Her face twisted in anger.

She continued, "I think being too greedy is not good. You know how much he has. If he gives you a third of his assets, will you take it? Won't your conscience hurt?"

"Why wouldn't I take it?" I found it funny. "You think I'm like you? If I gave you a million dollars now, you wouldn't even know how to spend it. And let me tell you, if you're snooping around, get your facts straight. A third? It's half his property, plus 8% of Whitmore Co."

Bonnie's face turned sour, as if she'd just swallowed a fly. Clearly, she didn't have the full picture.

She stuttered, "How is that possible? I heard the lawyer…”

She cut herself off. Spying on Neil's conversation with his lawyer wasn’t something she wanted to admit.

“Bonnie, what gives you the right to talk like this? I don’t deserve Neil’s money, and you do?” I raised my chin, looking down at her. “What are you? Besides being younger, what else do you have?”

She was much shrewder than most girls her age.

“You!” Bonnie fumed but couldn’t come up with a response.

“Because Neil likes me!” Bonnie finally found a comeback.

“Then keep trying. Let’s see if he’ll marry you,” I said coldly. “Bonnie, do you really not know about Karina? That Kate’s sister? Are you going to keep playing dumb, happily accepting their kindness?”

Bonnie stared at me, shocked. She couldn’t believe I knew about Karina.

Her reaction amused me. "Bonnie, you don't think the Whitmore family didn't try to persuade me, do you? They certainly informed me about Karina's situation and your heart condition."

“I don’t know what you’re talking about!” Bonnie panicked. “I don’t even know who Karina is!”

“It’s okay. You should thank your parents for giving you a face like Karina’s, and for getting her heart. Without that, Neil wouldn’t look at you twice, and Kate wouldn’t treat you like a sister. Got it?” I didn’t care that Bonnie had gone pale.
