Chapter 109
Bonnie remained quiet for a moment before answering, “Yeah, I have loads of birthday presents.”
Although none of her family gave her presents, she received loads from her friends and colleagues. There were so many that she could fill a train.
Avril noticed Bonnie’s brief pause and thought maybe Bonnie was lying. The former assumed Bonnie must have gotten no present at all but said she did to preserve her reputation.
‘My heart can just break for her!‘
Avril removed her necklace and gave it to Bonnie, saying, “This is my most cherished necklace. I hope you like it.”
“Um…”
Avril crossed her arms and said, “There can only be two reasons for you to turn down the offer. It’s
either you hate it, or you don’t want to be my friend.”
Since she put it that way, Bonnie could only accept it.
At that moment, Trina looked down on Bonnie, thinking, ‘How pathetic that you only get one gift, Bonnie. Look at my pile of presents. There are so many that I can probably load a car with them. It’s my birthday, and you’re not going to steal my limelight.‘
Suddenly, fireworks exploded in the sky and disrupted her thoughts.
‘Is somebody playing with fireworks? It sounds like quite the show.‘
Everyone was curious about it and hurried out of the hotel. Then, they saw a magnificent sight. There were fireworks as far as the eyes could see, exploding and glowing against the night sky.
“Wow! They’re wonderful! This grand gesture must cost a fortune. Just how many fireworks are there?” One of the guests uttered.
Immediately after, the fireworks exploded to form a brief phrase, “Happy birthday, Bonnie!”
‘Wait a minute. Bonnie?!‘
Everyone gazed at her and realized she was just as shocked as them. Then, they realized it was a surprise for her.
“Perhaps the fireworks are for someone else with the same name.” One of the guests took a wild
guess.
Trina sighed in relief.
“That was scary. I thought someone wasted all their money to make such a grand gesture for Bonnie.‘
Trina mocked, “How unfortunate, Bonnie. I know the fireworks aren’t for you, even though it says your name. Still, you can pretend they’re for you since it’s your birthday, too.”

“Trina, can you stoop any lower? I could just throw up right now. I used to think you were impressive for getting into Pyralis University. I also thought you were multi–talented. The last thing I expected was for you to be this laughable.
“You guys are Bonnie’s family, yet you didn’t prepare any presents for her. Now you’re telling Bonnie to pretend the fireworks are for her. You suck so bad!”
The other guests started muttering, too. It was clear that they found Trina distasteful as well.
“I didn’t mean anything by that. Also, I did prepare a gift for Bonnie.” Trina pointed at the pile of presents and looked at Bonnie, saying, “Take your pick. The only gift you can’t pick is the one Hadwin gave me. I can’t possibly give that to you. I–I’m sorry.”
“Hmph, you can keep them. I have more than enough presents.” Bonnie checked the time and
remembered her plans with Heath. Although he said he would celebrate her birthday at midnight, it was just seven now. There was plenty of time left.
A moment later, more than a dozen Bentleys pulled over at the hotel entrance. Then, several dozen bodyguards stepped out with rose bouquets. They stood in a file and approached the guests.
Everyone was baffled by the sudden turn of events, but Bonnie recognized the sunglasses -wearing man at the forefront as Floyd.
Hadwin’s father, Draco, emerged from the crowd and asked, “How can I help you, sir?”
Floyd replied, “We’re here to celebrate her birthday.”
‘Her? Who’s her? Does he mean Trina?‘
