I Love You, Miss Genius

Chapter 93

“It’s possible,” Ivor said slowly. Just like that, Floyd was lost in thought.

Trina couldn’t wait to get down to business the moment Bonnie returned home.

“You're back at last, Bonnie. Are’t the SATs over? Why are you still staying out there on your own?”

“What does it have to do with you?” Bonnie wasn’t going to waste any words on Trina. She walked straight to the

couch, sat down, and started peeling an orange.

Trina deliberately looked at Vera with sad eyes and turned her head aside. Then, she lifted her hands and

pretended to wipe stears away.

Vera was enraged. “Trina was just expressing her concern for you, Bonnie. That was too much.”

Bonnie smiled faintly and said, “That's true! She was so concerned aboutthat she nearly charged into Ms.

Bonita’s private room at the hotel restaurant. The nerve of her.”

Trina’s heart gripped with fear. Vera was gobsmacked.

“What did you say?”

Trina tried to cut them off to put an end to the topic. “You must be tired, Mom. How about | give you a massage?”

Bonnie smiled more widely. “You're terrible at covering up what you've done, Trina. Did you really think Mom

would be so gullible?”

“Tellwhat on earth happened.” Vera grabbed Trina. What Bonnie had revealed was so serious that she

shuddered. She knew Trina had found out that Ms. Bonita was going to celebrate the anniversary of her research

institute.

When she called her daughter, Trina had made it sound like she hadn't found out where Ms. Bonita was having

lunch. But if what Bonnie said was true, then it meant Trina had kept something from her..

Vera looked at Trina and found that her face had turned pale. That made her even more suspicious.

“Nothing much, | guess. Trina just hid outside Ms. Bonita’s private room, but got caught red-handed. by the

researchers,” Bonnie said. Her tone indicated that she wanted to blow up the whole thing.

Vera was shocked again. She looked at Trina with wide eyes. “Is this true?”

Trina’s face turned even paler.

Good. That was all the answer Vera needed.

“How dare you do something like that, Trina?! You toldyou were just trying your luck to see if you'd run into

Ms. Bonita. | can’t believe you hid outside of her private room at the restaurant!” Vera lectured.

That had been bad enough, but Trina had gotten herself caught, too!

“I'm going to ask you again. Did you manage to see Ms. Bonita?”

Trina Tried to make her mother feel sorry for her by tearing up. “I-I didn’t see her.”

“Well Did you offend anyone?”

“Um...” Trina bit her lips hard, and then harder still.

Bonnie crossed her legs and looked at Trina, pleased, “You'd better tell the truth. Otherwise, even t won't be able

to help you.

Damn that Bonniel She was the one who had gotten her into this mess. How dare she imply that she’d help her:

“Ill say it since you won't. You accusedof seducing one of the researchers right in front of them. You implied

that Ms. Bonita’s research institute had wicked, corrupt people. Because of that, you offended all the science

researchers. Mr. Terry even proclaimed they would never hire you.”

Vera was shocked to the core. Gresham, who had just heard the commotion from his study on the second floor,

was equally stunned. He almost stumbled and fell down the stairs.

“T That's not true,” Trina denied hastily.

“How are you still denying it, Trina? Do you think that'll help? Are you going to say that I'm lying?” Bonnie said

lightly.

Trina’s eyes

widened. She didn’t get it. Bonnie had never bothered to fight her when this had happened in the past. Why did

Bonnie have to kick her while she was down today?

It was clear to both Vera and Gresham who the real liar was.

#You made a huge mistake, Trina. You're lucky Ms. Bonita wasn’t there in person. Otherwise, our family could

very well be wiped out from Pyralis. | want you to go to your room and reflect on your mistake. Do it until the end

of summer.”

Trina’s tears fell onto the floor, but her parents were infuriated with her. It didn’t matter how sad she tried to

look. It wouldn't help her.

Bonnie watched as Trina went upstairs, alone.

She was going to teach Trina the lesson of a lifetand make her see the magnitude of her mistake. That way,

Trina would never dare approach her researchers again.
