Chapter 129
Ivor’s heart sank when he heard Bonnie’s outrageous requests. On the other hand, the latter chuckled
inwardly.
Ged, who had followed Ivor, slapped the staircase railing and laughed heartily, saying, “Damn, that’s
hilarious!”
Bonnie suppressed her laughter and said, “How about something simpler, like chicken noodle soup?”
Ivor sighed in relief. He would rather be in an intense corporate meeting than cook the dishes Bonnie mentioned earlier. After all, he had barely cooked before.
“All right, wait a moment. I’ll be quick.” Ivor turned to Ged and said, “There won’t be noodles for you.

“Hey,
I wasn’t laughing at you just now! I was laughing at myself.”
Avril looked absent–minded after her call with Bonnie. The former had something to say but ended up swallowing her words. Daken noticed his daughter’s absent–mindedness and asked, “What’s wrong? Did something happen?”
“Ahem! Dad, did Tang Fusion Studios cancel its collaboration with the Dyngards?”
“I just got the news. Everyone suspects the Dyngards had probably offended someone they shouldn’t have.” Daken lit a cigarette as he spoke.
Avril recalled Bonnie saying something about the Dyngards no longer being business partners with Tang Fusion Studios yesterday. Bonnie’s words echoed non–stop in Avril’s mind, and she wondered if it was just a coincidence or if Bonnie was psychic.
“Avril? Hey, what’s wrong with you?” Daken’s voice brought Avril out of her thoughts.
“Um, Bonnie just called and said we should participate in Tang Fusion Studios’s project bidding
tomorrow.”
“What’s that?” Daken was stunned.
“She also said our company should devise a proposal and that Tang Fusion will prioritize cooperating with us if the proposal is decent.” Avril continued, her heart filled with unease.
Daken held his cigarette blankly for a moment. A moment later, he frowned and asked, “Is that a joke or something?”
“I don’t think Bonnie jokes around like that, Dad.” Avril’s words caused Daken to fall into deep thought again. She added, “Dad, there’s another thing. Bonnie and I ran into Brittany at the mall today.”
“So, you and Brittany had a conflict, and the Dyngards‘ collaboration got canceled?” Daken was

shocked.
Avril gulped and asked, “Do you think it could be a coincidence?”

“Not necessarily.” Daken pursed his lips and squinted. “Do you remember Bonnie picking you up in a Maybach yesterday?”
“I remember, 80- “Avril’s eyes widened. “Bonnie contacted someone in the store. It was most likely a higher–up of Tang Fusion, or maybe even the CEO!”
“That’s highly likely. Don’t spread this information for now. After all, that’s just our speculation. Even if it’s true, don’t discuss it with anyone. It’s Bonnie’s private matter. If she doesn’t want to disclose it, you shouldn’t either.”
“I understand, Dad. It’s just It can’t be Mr. Hamish of Tang Fusion Studios, right? He’s quite handsome and is also the chief designer. He’s skillful, but he’s already thirty–five.”
“What’s wrong with being thirty–five? Men age like fine wine, especially in their thirties. They’re at the peak of their charm by that age.” Daken disagreed with Avril’s viewpoint.
