I Love You, Miss Genius

Chapter 111

Bonnie noticed the incoming slap and stepped back to avoid it. She then said, “I remember first going to the countryside. You slapped me then because Trina framed me for pushing her down the stairs, even though she did it on purpose.

“At that moment, I swore to myself that it would be the last time I let Trina set me up. I decided that no one could slap me if I didn’t do anything wrong!”

“That’s outrageous! What did I do to deserve someone as heartless as you? You’re such a sorry excuse of a daughter!” Vera was exasperated.

Harold stared at Gresham bitterly and roared, “It’s bad enough that Bonnie embarrassed herself, but she made such a huge mess of Trina’s engagement party. Everyone will laugh at us over this!”

Yolanda had also grown sick of Bonnie. “I told you she’s a country bumpkin! You can try to teach her all you want, but nothing will help. Good on you for not listening to me. Take her back to where she came from. Take her as far away as possible.”

Gresham sighed, approached Bonnie, and raised his hand.

“What, are you going to slap me too?” Bonnie stood her ground indifferently.

Floyd was worried about how things would turn out and quickly texted Ivor to tell him about everything that was happening there. Ivor’s expression grew grim when he read the text and replied, “Video call me now.”

“Right away.” Floyd made a video call, and Ivor accepted it.

Almost immediately after, the latter understood the situation. The entire Shepard family had pitted themselves against Bonnie. They were frowning at her as if they could not wait to get rid of her.

It was a heartbreaking sight for Ivor.

Gresham stared at Bonnie solemnly. “You have one last chance to apologize to Trina. If you refuse, I’ll disown you!”

“You’ve never treated me as your own to begin with.” Bonnie stared back at him defiantly.

“Why, you-” Gresham was outraged. “It seems you refuse to apologize, after all. If you don’t give a damn about your status as one of the Shepards, then suit yourself. From now on, the Shepards disown you. Crawl back to the countryside and live the rest of your life with your pathetic foster parents!”

His words upset Bonnie. She retorted, “Watch your tongue! They might be from the countryside, but you don’t have the right to insult them. Although my parents were born and raised there, they’re down to earth and have worked tirelessly their whole lives.

“They did everything to provide for their kids selflessly, unlike you. You merely care about your damn reputation.” Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

Vera roared, “Is that the way to talk to your father, Bonnie? You’re such an outrageous and rebellious child. Karma will get you one of these days!”

Although you guys are my birth parents, it doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want to me. You can’t just humiliate me and punish me.” Bonnie swept her gaze across Harold, Yolanda, and the other Shepards.

She added, “I know all of you want to get rid of me. You think I brought shame to the family. You’ve wanted to chase me out long ago, especially Grandpa and Grandma. You asked me to put in another request with Orson because you tore up his painting, but I turned you down.

“You two have detested me even more ever since. What happened today is simply the last straw. I knew you guys would think I’m a bad fit for the family. Well, the feeling is mutual. I’m more than happy to cut ties with the family. I want nothing to do with you all!”

“Fine then!” Harold slammed his cane. “It doesn’t matter if you thrive or fail in the future. Get out of my sight now!”

He was confident peace would return to his family once Bonnie left.

Trina barely stifled laughter. She knew she would no longer have to worry about losing her status in

the family. Still, she thought it was a shame as a life without Bonnie would be mundane.

Even so, Bonnie remained unfazed, saying, “It’s decided, then.”

She turned and barely took a step when she heard Harold’s voice from behind her, “I want you to

make an official announcement on Twitter, Gresham. Let everyone know that we’ve disowned Bonnie. I don’t want her future debacles to drag our family’s name through the mud.”

The guests felt a shiver down their spine at what he said.

After the announcement, Bonnie was no longer associated with the Shepards. From that point, nothing she did could reverse it, even if she fell on her knees and begged for Harold’s mercy.
