Bonnie scoffed. “Hmph, are you still trying to mislead everyone, Trina? I didn’t want to do this, but you keep saying stuff that would make yourself look good while trying to undermine me. What makes you think I’d just let you push me around?”
“Th–that’s not what I meant.” Trina continued weeping,
“Save your breath. Tears won’t make you right. You claim that I tried to
make you look bad because you took Hadwin away from me, right? I don’t care for an incompetent fool like Hadwin, but you’re right.
“You took him away from me by sleeping with him while we were engaged. You can claim you two love each other all you want, but you’re still a homewrecker. You’re just trying to make yourself look good when you dabbled in infidelity,” Bonnie said coldly.
The onlookers exchanged glances and started muttering amongst each other.
“I know Bonnie is a good–for–nothing, and Hadwin is probably too good for her. Still, I must say, she made some fine points. Trina is a homewrecker who stole her sister’s fiance.”
“I beg to differ. Hadwin didn’t care for Bonnie because she was a lazy waste of space. People like her don’t deserve to marry into the Rhodes family.”
“Must Iremind you that she’s the best scholar in our city? How does that make her a loitering waste of space? If that’s true, what does that make the other students? Some of them couldn’t even get into Pyralis University.”
“That’s besides the topic at hand. Let’s focus on the important stuff here. I’ve heard some rumors that Hadwin was already sleeping with Trina before he called off his engagement with Bonnie. Tsk tsk tsk. Judging from that alone, Trina is undoubtedly a homewrecker.”
Trina was speechless. She intended to mislead everyone into thinking Bonnie was the bad guy. She did not expect Bonnie to retaliate and turn the table on her.
Bonnie sneered and said as if she were speaking to a simpleton, “Stop trying to play games with me,
Trina. I’m in a different league than you. Your petty tricks and worrisome intelligence are nothing to
- me.
“I’ve been ignoring you because I couldn’t be bothered to waste my time on you. Make no mistake. If you insist on playing your games, I’ll shame you at your own engagement party.”
Trina balled her fists and glared at Bonnie.
“Sit in your shame like a dog. There, that’s more like it. Hold it in.” Bonnie continued to hurl insults at Trina before turning to leave.
Trina thought she was about to lose her mind, but she could not think of a retort to Bonnie. Moreover,

the latter had a hold over her. Trina remained seething when she saw Bonnic approaching the twenty -layer cake and taking a life.
“What’s she doing?!‘
Everyone else was just as shocked and puzzled as Trina. They all stared at Bonnie curiously as she motioned to cut the cake. However, the figurines depicting Trina and Hadwin were in the way. So, she removed them and flung them aside.
Immediately after, she cut the cake and helped herself to a slice.
Everyone’s jaws dropped while Bonnie took a bite and nodded in approval. “This cake is delicious. Where’d you get it from? I simply must buy some for myself.”
An eerie, pin–drop silence hung over the banquet hall while Vera and Gresham did everything they could to keep a low profile. They initially intended to lecture Bonnie, but they realized it would not have benefitted them.
Suddenly, a lady in a light yellow gown emerged from the crowd and approached Bonnie. “You’re impressive, Bonnie! Other women wouldn’t dare to speak up for herself even if her younger sister stole her fiancé.
“You, on the other hand, showed up at their engagement party and made a mess of it. Not only that, you even ate a slice of their cake. It’s one of the greatest comebacks I’ve ever seen!”
Bonnie turned and asked, “Who are you?”
