Chapter 174
Xavier was stunned. “What do you mean by that? Hold on!”
His heart skipped a beat. “Are you trying to say Bonnie has another identity?”
‘Bonnie is already Ivor’s fiance and favored by Jim and Hamish. Does she have another identity that’s far bigger than all of these combined?‘
“Exactly.” Bonnie smiled dryly and continued to compose texts. “Here’s a top secret.”
Xander held his breath and waited for the bomb to fall. Finally, Bonnie sent her latest reply. “She’s actually Ms. Bonita.”
‘What the fuck!‘
Xander paled and began to sweat bullets. If anyone had told him that the country bumpkin from the Shepard family was Ms. Bonita, he would’ve brushed it off. However, too many things had happened. With that in mind, he might as well step down from being the Sheffyns‘ patriarch if he stubbornly decided not to take it seriously.
“This explains everything! It’s no wonder that not a single soul in the SR League dared accept my request! Wait a minute! Something doesn’t feel right.‘
“If that’s the case, why did you accept my request?”
Smiling, she responded, “That’s because I’m Bonnie.”
“What?!” Xavier coughed. A moment later, his eyes rolled back, and he fell unconscious.

Meanwhile, Bonnie felt better than ever. She then ate the apple she had plucked. It tasted sweet as she chewed it, further uplifting her spirits.
Ivor plucked more apples off the tree, saying, “From the looks of it, you’ve successfully swindled ten billion dollars from Xavier.”
Bonnie glanced at him sidelong and said, “What do you mean swindle? I crushed Xavier with my superior intellect.”
Fortunately, Xavier could not hear her. Otherwise, he would have woken up and coughed before fainting again.
“Sure thing, honey. Your intelligence surpasses everyone else’s. There’s no chance Xavier could ever outsmart you.”
“Honey? Last I checked, we’re not married. Are you sure it’s appropriate to address me that way?”
Ivor washed the apple clean and handed it to her, saying, “Well, how should I address you then?”

“Just call me by my name, like you usually do.”
“All right, Bonnie–booboo.”
‘I can’t with him.‘
Suddenly, something piqued Ivor’s interest. He said, “You swindled- Ahem, you crushed Xavier with your superior intellect and made him pay you ten billion. On top of that, he doesn’t seem to be coming after you. How on earth did you pull that off?”
“Are you curious?” Bonnie raised her brow.
“Of course I am. I’m dying of curiosity.”
She pointed at her shoulder in response.
Ivor caught her drift and said, “On it.”
The next moment, he started massaging her shoulder. His fingers felt warm, making Bonnie regret her decision. Moreover, she couldn’t help but feel that he was doing more than just rubbing her shoulders. They lingered on her skin, and she could feel the longing in them.
“That’s enough.”
Ivor feigned ignorance and said, “If your shoulders are fine, I’ll massage your thighs next.” He then reached down and grabbed her thighs.
