Bonnie felt a little puzzled. After some thought, she realized Trina was right. She could present evidence before Vera and Gresham, but they still would not believe a word she said. Worse, they would
treat her harsher than before.
They would even lecture her to learn from her mistakes. Besides that, there was also a good reason why she kept her identity as the nation’s leading researcher a secret.
Her parents had a favorite child, and that was none other than Trina. Moreover, they always looked
down on Bonnie.
In the past, she used to win various awards and trophies for things such as piano competitions, chess tournaments, F1 trophies, and more. She had shown all of them to Vera and Gresham, but all she got
in return was more lectures.
They chastised her for forging her accolades just to gain their favor. They even told her how disappointed they were in her.
Additionally, Trina would fan the flames. That was why they grew increasingly distrustful of Bonnie over time.

After some thought, Bonnie’s foster parents, who had raised her in the countryside, treated her pretty well. However, Vera and Gresham were her biological parents. The truth was that everyone wanted nothing more than their parents‘ love.
Bonnie learned the hard way that her birth parents would never love her as much as they did with
Trina. Bonnie’s childhood was the primary reason for that. The couple looked down on Bonnie because she was a country bumpkin.
Gresham’s family had repeatedly taken digs at him and his wife because of her background. That was why they could never let it go. She would always be a blemish on their otherwise perfect life.
That was why Trina was not the only wrong one here. Her stepsister merely exploited her
vulnerabilities and pulled focus on them.
“I’m tired of talking to you, Trina. I won’t waste more time with you.” Collecting her thoughts, Bonnie began to cut to the chase. “Where I live is none of your concern. It’d be wise for you to behave and lock yourself in your room. If I ever catch you doing something humiliating again, I’ll make you regret it.”
Trina was outraged. “Do you think Mom and Dad will ground me for that long? Perhaps you’ve forgotten, but my engagement party with Hadwin is three days. It’s also my birthday. That reminds me. Your birthday is on the same day as mine.
“I’m cordially inviting you to my engagement party with Hadwin. I sure hope I’ll see you on that day, Bonnie.”
Bonnie was stunned.

‘Her birthday is in three days? Gosh, it slipped my mind.‘
Trina chuckled and continued, “Mom and Dad always forget about you whenever we celebrate our birthdays. At best, they’d prepare a thoughtless gift for you. My heart breaks for you whenever we celebrate our birthdays, Bonnie.
“Here’s an idea. You can pretend you don’t know what I did, and I’ll put your name on the birthday cake this time. Since it’s my twentieth birthday, Mom and Dad will prepare a twenty–layer cake for me. You can share my glorious moment by having your name on it.‘
Bonnie would have rolled her eyes at Trina if her stepsister were standing before her. Soon after, Bonnie hung up because she did not intend to waste time arguing.
Jim frowned and asked, “Are you going to let her off the hook just like that?”
“I wasn’t going to initially, but Trina will get mad if I ignore her. If that’s the case, why should I waste my breath arguing with her?” Bonnie responded casually.
“You have a point, but she still annoys me. Trina has always schemed against you, but I can’t believe she hired someone to tail you. How about I work her over discreetly?“Jim smiled menacingly.
“Simmer down. You’re the renowned King of Combat. You’ll sully your reputation if you take things seriously with that hypocritical girl.” Bonnie smiled and shook her head.
“I’m doing it for you. What’s so disgraceful about that? Anyone who I don’t care if it does anything to my reputation!” He barked sternly.
crosses you will suffer my wrath.
Ivor pulled Bonnie to his side, saying, “You guys are too close for my taste. Mind you, Master Jim, Bonnie’s my fiancee. I can protect her myself. Don’t you think you overstepped your boundaries by saying those things?”
