Chapter 180
Vera fanned the flames, saying, “Hmph, If you country bumpkins hadn’t raised Bonnie, she wouldn’t have become such a horrible person!”
“Shut your mouth!” Bonnie and Benedict yelled in unison. The latter was furious as Trina stared at him, wondering when he arrived.
“Benny? Were you hiding or something? I thought we told you to give Trina her engagement gift,” Gerald said, puzzled.
Benedict approached Bonnie and Trina. He looked at Trina with annoyance and said, “I saw Trina throwing the sweater into the trash can when I came in earlier.”
Vera and Gresham were surprised as they looked at Trina. “Is that true?”
Trina began to cry aggrievedly. “Why would you twist the truth like that, Benny? I’m your real sister. You can’t let Bonnie deceive you. Stop defending her. Did she bribe you or something? I knew it! This must be all her sugar daddy’s doing. Bonnie must’ve paid you to twist the story!”
Benedict felt like he was about to lose his mind. “What the fuck are you talking about, Trina? I’ve never taken anyone’s money! I spoke the truth!”
“Enough!” Trina cried even louder. “You call me by my name and call Bonnie your sister. You never considered me your real sister! You two grew up together, and I’m not close to you. Of course, you’d defend her!”
She looked at Welma and Gerald and continued, “Mom, Dad, do you believe me or Bonnie?”
The couple looked at Bonnie and Benedict before glancing at Trina. They struggled to answer her question.
“Oh, I see how it is. You didn’t raise me, so you won’t believe anything I say,” Trina spoke defeatedly. She then looked at Vera and Gresham. “After all, Bonnie’s your biological daughter.”
Vera pushed Bonnie away and held Trina. “I’ll always believe you, dear. Don’t be sad. I promise always to take your side, no matter what you do or say.”
Gresham’s eyes reddened. “Same here, sweetie. I only have one daughter, and it’s you. You will always be the family’s heiress.”
Trina felt moved as she hugged them and continued to cry.
“Hmph!” Bonnie sneered.
‘What extraordinary acting.‘
At that moment, Benedict pulled Bonnie aside and said, “Come on,
let’s go.‘
Bonnie looked at Welma and Gerald, who were still staring at her. Gerald sighed and said, “We should leave.”
Welma then took Bonnie’s hand, and the family of four left.
Once outside, Gerald smoked a cigarette and looked at Bonnie apologetically. “We sent you to the Shepards all those years ago because we didn’t want you to
continue suffering with us. I didn’t expect our decision to cause you so much distress.”
