“Can’t you just soften up and seek comfort from me? You’re so tough that I don’t feel useful sometimes,” Ivor said helplessly.
Bonnie raised her brows and smirked. “That’s not entirely true. You’re useful sometimes.”
Ivor’s eyes gleamed. “Any examples that springs to mind?”
“Well, you make me roll my eyes more.”
That wasn’t the answer he wanted to hear at all.
Half an hour later, Bonnie returned to the Knights‘ villa. They had barely gotten out of the car when they heard Sydney’s roar from the inside.
“For Heaven’s sake, Flynn is your grandson, Dad! How could you deport him and forbid him from returning? I know you favor Ivor because he’s the son of your firstborn, but Flynn is still your family!”
Sigmund was sitting in a chair while staring at her. “Flynn shouldn’t have kidnapped someone. Don’t you know what that means? He broke the law! Do you even know how they deal with kidnappers?
“The court could sentence him to ten years or a lifetime imprisonment if they feel the punishment is too mild. If Bonnie hadn’t gone easy on him, he would be behind bars now!”
Bonnie and Ivor entered but said nothing. Instead, they stood to the side and waited,
Sydney glared at Bonnie and told Sigmund, “Don’t make it sound like a bigger deal than it is, Dad. Flynn merely argued with Bonnie and took her brother away for a second. It was just a spat. She’s the one who blew up the whole thing and refused to let it go. She’s just petty!”
Her claims were so outrageous that it pissed Sigmund off. “You’re just the same as Flynn! Bonnie’s no ordinary lady! She’s a hugely important figure in this country. She was merciful when she didn’t
involve outsiders in the whole mess.
“If anyone finds out about it, you wouldn’t have been able to stop them from putting a bullet in Flynn’s head! Not even our entire Knight family could stop it!”
‘Hugely important?‘ Ivor turned to Bonnie and scanned her from head to toe. However, she was calm and indifferent, refusing to explain anything.
“What’s so special about her? Are you referring to the fact that she did well in the SATS? That’s nothing compared to our family!”
Sigmund shot up from his seat and said, “Do you mean it’s forgivable if Flynn kidnapped some ordinary folks or even killed them instead? Are you trying to say the victims deserved it?”
Thwack, thwack, thwack!
He struck his cane fiercely on the floor, fires blazing in his eyes.

“Well, 1-“Sydney gulped. That was what she meant.
Gunnar knew his wife well and was concerned she would worsen things if she spoke further. So, he chimed in, “Don’t get angry, Dad. That’s not what she meant. She’s just too worried about our son. After all, she loves him.
“As for Flynn, I must admit he was wrong wrong this time. He has to suffer the consequences of his actions. However, the whole thing was contained, considering. Do you think you can change your mind about your decision?
“After all, forbidding Flynn from returning for the rest of his life was too harsh. Don’t you think? Please, Dad. Go easy on him and reduce it to a decade or two. It’s better than a lifetime ban.”
“What?” Sydney’s eyes widened. She couldn’t believe what she had just heard. “Flynn is your son, Gunnar. How dare you beg for a ban that would last a decade or two? Also, why are you admitting that he’s in the wrong?
“I’m his mom, and I know him well. It has nothing to do with him. It’s Bonnie’s fault!”
Then, she glared at Bonnie with unbridled rage and snarled, “You must’ve seduced my son, you skank! You stirred up the mess at the party. On top of that, you were also responsible for what happened in the restaurant last night.‘
“Don’t even think about denying it. I asked my son’s friends, and they admitted that you were the one who barged into their private room.”
Bonnie said casually, “I merely went into the wrong private room. Your son was the one who wouldn’t let me go, no matter what I said.”
“What a load of crap! Stop trying to shirk off the responsibility, you bitch! Do you expect me to believe you walked into his room by chance?

“You were worried that Ivor would get sick of you and kick you to the curb. That’s why you seduced my son and treated him as your safety net. Then, Ivor found out about it, and you twisted the truth by saying my son wanted to do some nasty things to you!
“Also, I think Flynn did what he did because he let his anger go to his head. He kidnapped your brother to make you apologize to him and admit your dirty secrets in front of his grandpa. All of this is your fault, Bonnie!”
