Chapter 224
It was a lovely moment.
Several days later, Bonnie sat in the Smiths‘ car. Avril chatted with her non–stop while Daken drove.
“I’m telling you, Bonnie. Life has been good ever since we collaborated with Tang Fusion Studios. In the past, Brittany always showed me up whenever she saw me. But now, she’s so jealous of me that
she wants to beat me up.
“Do you remember how she gloated about her family getting the collaboration with Tang Fusion Studios when we met her in the Bohemian Boutique? She botched it, and the deal went to my family
instead.
“You have no idea how thrilled and satisfied I am! Sometimes, I find myself laughing in my sleep.”
“I heard that your family’s company is going well. Your dad was even on the Financial News Network,” Bonnie added casually.
“You saw that?! I thought you didn’t care about it.” Avril was more than excited when she talked about this. “The Financial News Network invited my dad as a guest and interviewed him for thirty
minutes.
“They even aired it during the prime time. We’re so honored by it! We owe all of this to you, Bonnie. Thank!”
Smiling, Bonnie responded, “You guys worked hard to get the collaboration. So, what are you thanking me for?”
“Are you going to tell us that you didn’t have anything to do with it? It doesn’t matter because I’m not buying it.” She held Bonnie’s arms and said.
Daken monitored Bonnie’s expression closely through the rearview mirror. She might’ve kept calm,
but some subtle changes were apparent in her expressions.
“I merely talked to Hamish and mentioned your family a little.” That wasn’t a lie at all. It was just
that they didn’t need to know about the contents.
“You see? I’m right. That’s why I said you made it happen. My dad and I must thank you properly when we get to the Jade Horizon Hotel.”
She had brought Bonnie here for the sole purpose of repaying her favor. Not long after, Daken parked
the car in front of the hotel entrance.
“Feast your eyes on the Jade Horizon Hotel! It’s expensive to have a meal here. My dad and I have only ever eaten here for special occasions.” With that, she took Bonnie into the hotel.
They came to the concierge, and she asked the staff, “Do you have a private room at your restaurant?”
“We’ve still got a last private room.” The staff responded.

“Alright, Please give it..” She couldn’t finish her sentence because someone behind her cut her off.
“We’ll take it.”
It sounded familiar, too. Avril turned and realized it was the lady they had just been discussing. Brittany was standing behind them with her parents in tow.
“What are you looking at? I said, we’re taking it.” Brittany looked arrogant and unreasonable.
“Hey! Don’t you notice that we came first? Do you even know the concept of a first come first served
s?” Avril loaned closer and retorted.
eah. Although you guys came first, you didn’t say you wanted it. On the other hand, I said it first. That means the private room is ours.”
“Thonestly don’t know what goes on in your mind, Brittany. Do you get a kick out of snatching things from other people? You did the same thing in Bohemian Boutique. Honestly, you’re the most shameless person I’ve ever met!” Avril’s chest was rising and falling rapidly.
Brittany’s face turned red from anger. “You’re the only shameless people around here! You hadn’t paid for the dress when I said I wanted it back then, and you didn’t say out loud that you wanted the private room this time. What makes you think that the last private room belongs to you?!”
“L… Um….” She had learned a lesson today. It was meaningless to argue with a shameless person. All it was going to achieve was to get herself mad.
That was when she heard Bonnie’s voice.
“Here’s the deposit for the private room.” She said to the hotel staff.
Brittany raced toward her and pulled her away. “How are you this shameless? The private room is ours! Ours, I say!”

Simultaneously, Dermot and Nia flanked her.
“I have yet to settle my score with you for picking on my daughter, Bonnie. How dare you act so cocky now?!” Dermot squinted and glared at her menacingly.
Nia also gave her a terrifying look and said, “I’ve long heard that there’s something wrong with you. Now that I’ve seen it myself, you’re worse than I thought. How dare you fight with us when we said we wanted the private room first? Who are you to cross the Dyngards, you country bumpkin?!”
Seeing how the Dyngard family was picking on Bonnie, Avril lost it and marched in front of Bonnie with Daken in tow.
