Chapter 192
Bonnie couldn’t stand it when William spoke to her in that melodramatic tone. “I just owe Ivor a favor, so I came out with him. Besides, being at the seaside with him doesn’t mean it’s a date.”
“Well then, since you put it that way, you’re coming to the beach tomorrow with me.”
Bonnie flatly refused. “Go to the beach with you on a date? No way.”
William’s mouth twitched. “So going to the beach with Ivor isn’t a date, but going with me is? Bonnie, you’re so double–standard. I don’t get it. What does Ivor have that I don’t? Tell me. It’s not fair.”
Looking at William’s aggrieved expression, Bonnie’s headache intensified. “Can you talk properly? You sound like a child, so immature and reckless.”
At these words, William suddenly froze, staring at Bonnie for a few seconds before he came to a realization. “I get it. So, Bonnie, you like someone mature, steady, expressionless -a domineering CEO type.”
William’s expression shifted, and he walked up to Bonnie. He extended his hand, pinning her against. the wall. In a commanding tone, he said, “Woman, you can’t escape my grasp.”
Now, not only did Bonnie’s mouth twitch, but even the corners of her eyes twitched, too. Her fists clenched tighter and tighter. Her expression was on the verge of breaking down, and she was close to losing control, ready to throw a punch.
Just then, Ivor’s low, icy voice echoed at the doorway.
“What are you doing? Let her go!”
With his voice, Ivor strode over, swiftly pulling William’s collar from behind.
“You’re pulling my collar again. I’ll tell you, I’m a civilized person. Don’t push me, or I might have to take action!” William turned his head, coldly locking eyes with Ivor.
“This is my private villa. Are you telling me to let you go? How civilized!” Ivor dragged William to the side. Then, he stood next to Bonnie and extended his long arms, wrapping them around her
shoulders.
Seeing this, Jacques, who was nearby, quickly appeared behind William. Floyd and Jim, who was now Tim, also appeared simultaneously.
“Don’t you dare lay a hand on my boss.” Jacques charged forward.
Floyd was the first to intervene, but after two or three rounds, Jacques dodged him.
“Not good!” Floyd turned around to see Jacques and Jim entangled in a fight.
His eyes widened. He knew Tim was formidable, but being on par with Jacques was something he hadn’t expected. In his memory, only Jim was that capable.

“Tim, don’t force it. You’re no match for Jacques. Retreat now!” Bonnie was worried that continuing the fight would expose Jim’s identity.
Jim instantly understood Bonnie’s signal. After exchanging punches with Jacques, he pretended to be overwhelmed, staggering backward several steps.
Jim’s act was convincing, but whether Ivor believed it or not remained to be seen.
Bonnie quietly looked up at Ivor and noticed that he was staring at Jim.
She decided to ignore it for now. Once the Lenfield Resort was complete, she would move out of the Knights‘ residence. At that time, Jim would also leave.
William looked at Bonnie. “Bonnie, you must promise me. Go on a date with me tomorrow. No, I can’t
wait. Let’s make it today. You have to go on a date with me.

After giving William a cold glance, Ivor hugged Bonnie tightly. “Let’s grab something to eat together later, then we’ll go watch a movie. Don’t bother about him.”
Bonnie indicated that she didn’t want to deal with either of them. “I just want to be alone.” Ivor grabbed Bonnie’s hand and kissed it.
