Chapter 178
“That’s quite enough. I don’t want to hear your explanations. Either way, you’ll always be biased toward Bonnie.”
The couple felt an overwhelming sense of guilt. Meanwhile, Bonnie stood between her parents and Trina, saying, “That’s enough out of you, Trina. I’ve been silent because you’re their biological daughter. I know I’ll only hurt them if I scold you.
“However, you’ve crossed the line with your words. They may not have raised you, but they always send you gifts every year and care about you whenever you’re sick. As yourself, what have you done for them?”
Welma wiped her tears and said, “That’s enough, Bonnie.”
“Fine, I’ll stop mentioning that. How about this? You keep telling everyone that I’m someone’s mistress or sugar baby, yet you’ve never witnessed such a thing. What does my sugar daddy look like? Do you even know who he is? How do you even know if he’s married?”
“I—”
“Consider what you say next, Trina. Did you see any of that?” Bonnie asked sternly.
Trina grew anxious when she felt everyone’s intense gaze. She bit her lip and said, “Bonnie, you should know all that better than I do. Would you dare to swear that you aren’t someone’s mistress?”
“What a boring reply. If swearing worked, would you swear you’ve seen me being a homewrecker or a mistress?” Bonnie retorted, causing Trina to panic.
“Trina, if I hear you spreading rumors about me again, I’ll take you to court for slander and defamation.” Bonnie then walked past Trina.
The latter struggled to suppress her emotions. After all, being repeatedly suppressed by Bonnie over the past few days had thrown Trina off her game.
Welma gently held Trina’s hand and said, “Bonnie is already in a slump. Please stop troubling her. Hey, here’s your birthday gift. I knitted this sweater myself. School is starting soon, and it’ll get chilly. You can wear it then. I hope you don’t think my knitting is bad or anything.”
“Why would I think that? I love it!” Trina replied, “Mom, Dad, do you want to come in and sit for a
while?”
“Oh, no,

that’s okay. We’re wearing such casual clothes. We don’t want to intrude, either.” Welma
“Oh, I see. Well, I still have some research to do. I’ll go back inside, then.”
“Your research is important. Focus on your studies, too.”
Trina could hardly keep up her act and quickly left.

“Ah, no!” Welma facepalmed. “I forgot Trina’s engagement gift!”
Gerald urged, “Quick, tell Benny to take it inside.”
Welma removed a jewelry box from her bag and handed it to Benedict, saying, “Hurry, catch up to
Trina.”
“Right! Sure thing, Mom!” Benedict took the box and ran inside.
Bonnie did not have much to carry when she collected her things. She only took her notebook and her favorite clothes before going downstairs. Immediately after, she saw Trina discarding something into
a trash bin.
“Disgusting. How dare they give me such a horrid–looking sweater. She expects me to wear that outside?”
Bonnie noticed the bag Trina had thrown away and realized she had seen her mother carrying it just now. The former ran over and grabbed Trina’s collar, shouting, “You’ve gone too far, Trina! Take that bag out of the trash bin now!”
