Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled novel Chapter 216

After sorting out the issue with our supplier, I felt a huge weight lifted off my shoulders.

Ever since my mom was hospitalized, I've barely had a second to rest. Stella and the others, worried I'd burn out, would take turns visiting my mom in the hospital on my behalf.

But surprisingly, Bonnie decided to pay my mom a visit too.

At that time, Barbara Sands was with my mom in the hospital. Upon spotting Bonnie, she quickly informed me.

I dashed over as swiftly as I could.

"Irene, aren't you supposed to be at work?" Bonnie was sitting by my mom's bedside when I arrived. The heavy scent of her perfume was out of place with her innocent demeanor.

Barbara rolled her eyes at the scene.

"What are you doing here?" I demanded, marching into the room, "Get out. Now."

"I'm just here to visit Mrs. Finch!" Bonnie feigned innocence, pointing at a bag of fruit beside her, "Look, I even brought gifts."

I glanced at the bag. It was filled with rotten, substandard fruits. Bonnie was clearly here to stir up trouble.

I grabbed the bag of rotten fruit and chucked it into the trash.

Bonnie looked hurt, "I heard Mrs. Finch is unconscious; I came to see her. How could you treat me like this?"

Barbara grimaced, pretending to be sick. The next moment, she received a call from Silas and left the room.

I stared at Bonnie impassively, "Bonnie, why are you so hung up on me? You're with Neil now. What's left to fight about?"

The hurt look on Bonnie's face quickly turned into resentment and anger, "Yes, I'm with Neil, but in his heart, you matter more to him than I do!"

"That's between you and him, not my problem." I didn't feel responsible for their issues.

Bonnie clenched her teeth, "He kisses you, protects you, and even resolved the SaintlyBio Corporation problem for you. Irene, you're a thorn in my side! I can't stand your existence, got it?"

She was declaring war on me.

I found her laughable. The things Neil did for me were out of my control, and they only brought me more trouble. Did Bonnie think Neil and I were mutually in love?

"If you hadn't intentionally caused SaintlyBio Corporation to terminate their contract with us, he wouldn't have had to help me. None of this would've happened. Bonnie, you're just too conniving. You shot yourself in the foot." I mocked.

"Why don't you just give me your company then? My mom wasn't joking about taking over your company, you know? Wouldn't it be better if your whole family just left Rosemont?" Bonnie's words made zero sense.

She was so eager to drive my family out of Rosemont.

In her mind, I was enemy number one.

"Daydreaming much, young lady?" I was lost for words and that was the only response I could give.

Bonnie suddenly lost control of her emotions, yelling, "I really hate you! Because of you, Neil postponed our engagement! You've made me a laughingstock!"

Her eyes were filled with hatred, as if she wanted to devour me.

I was taken aback. With everything going on, I'd completely forgotten about Neil and Bonnie's impending engagement, let alone whether they'd had their engagement party.
