Chapter 211
“1-1…” Sydney stammered. She was angry and at a loss for words.
“What a tasteless joke to make! Maisie has studied combat under the tutelage of Master Arturo Vaughn. Her combat skills are flawless. If I take this up with her, she’ll have me on the ground in less than a second.”
Gunnar smirked. ‘Geez. Sydney’s always been arrogant and stubborn, but she’s stumped now. I feel pretty good.”
Sydney noticed his triumphant expression and flew into a fit of rage. “That’s priceless, Gunnar. I asked you to speak up for our son, yet you threatened me with Maisie. I can see you’re taking your frustrations out on me. Does it feel good?”
She grabbed her husband’s ear and twisted it.
“Gah, my ear! You’re taking it the wrong way, honey. That’s the last thing I’d think. Come on, discuss it. Flynn will be okay. If you don’t let go of my ear, I might need to go to the hospital!”
“Yeah, right! How gullible do you think I am? I saw you smirking earlier, Gunnar!”
Flynn grew troubled as he watched his parents argue before him.

‘Mom and Dad are useless sometimes. They’re supposed to help me solve my dilemma or speak up for me. Now, they’re too busy arguing. Do they even love me? Ugh, forget it. It looks like I’ll have to handle it myself.”
“Damn that Bonnie. It isn’t over yet,” Flynn muttered and then called one of his men, more bodyguards and kidnap Bonnie tomorrow.”

“Assemble
The man seemed hesitant. After all, he had witnessed what Bonnie did to the other bodyguards earlier today.
Flynn was furious. “Is there a problem? You work for me, and it’s your responsibility to solve my problems. Do you even want to keep working for my family?”
The bodyguard trembled in fear, saying, “It’s not that I don’t want to work for you, Mr. Flynn. You saw how formidable Bonnie is. She can hold her own against Ms. Maisie. I don’t think we can kidnap Bonnie and bring her here unscathed.”
The bodyguard was confident he would suffer a worse fate than his colleagues if Ivor traced the kidnapping back to him. Although Flynn would be the primary culprit, he was one of the Knight family members. Nothing terrible would happen to him.
After some thought, Flynn said, “You have a point. We must ensure to do it with the utmost secrecy. We can’t afford to leave any clues behind when we kidnap Bonnie.”
Even Flynn shuddered at the thought of Ivor tracing it back to him.

“I have an idea!” Flynn exclaimed. “Find someone who means a lot to her and snatch that person instead. Then, tell Bonnie to come here alone. Otherwise, we’ll slaughter the person she cares about
most.
“That reminds me. We can’t send our men. I want you to hire someone who specializes in this. Remember to tread lightly. Don’t leave Ivor any clues.”
“Right away, Mr. Flynn.”
“Hire more men and make sure they’re competent. Spend more if you have to. Money isn’t an issue.” By now, Flynn had decided to teach Bonnie a lesson.
The following morning, Bonnie received a call from Hamish. She checked the time and realized it was only nine o’clock. Usually, Hamish would not have called her at this time of day. Something must have happened.
“Hello?”
“Did Benedict tell you why he hasn’t shown up for work, Ms. Bonnie?”
Her eyelids twitched. “Benny is usually punctual. He wouldn’t have reported late to work.”
“Exactly! I know that about him. That’s why I called you. It’s well over nine o’clock–now. If anything, he would’ve shown up slightly over eight in the morning. Did he have an accident on his way here?” “Geez. That’s a comforting thought.”
