Chapter 230
Avril gupled. She suspected Bonnie had something to do with the Dyngards‘ misfortune. While the former started freaking out, Bonnie remained casual.
Dermot was still on the phone, questioning the caller, “How can this happen? Is this God’s way of destroying my family?”
Nia grew anxious as she tugged at her husband’s sleeve. “Wh–what’s happening now, dear?”
Dermot looked beat, saying, “Our construction workers unearthed some artifacts from over a millennium ago. Government officials have intervened and halted the workers.”
Nia’s eyes widened in shock. “Doesn’t that mean we’ll suffer substantial losses?”
“Fuck!” Dermot cursed.
Even Bonnie was puzzled. She had just called Hamish and told him to kick the Dyngards out of the city. She did not know why the Dyngards‘ began hitting the down limit or why numerous collaborators began canceling deals with them.
Moreover, unearthing ancient artifacts from construction sites was unheard of. Bonnie wondered how Hamish pulled that off.
Meanwhile, Avril looked at her and stammered, “What’s this about ancient artifacts? B–Bonnie, don’t you think you’re going overboard?“.
Avril was confident Bonnie was behind the two previous incidents. However, the former thought the last one was insane if it were also related to Bonnie.
Bonnie’s lips twitched as she asked Avril, “Do you think I did that?”
“Well, I-” Avril was at a loss.
Bonnie palmed her forehead. “Do you think I have superpowers or something?”
“Pfft! Hahaha!” Avril laughed, surprised by Bonnie’s ability to crack such jokes.
Suddenly, Brittany remembered one of Bonnie’s earlier claims. The former’s eyes widened in shock as she whispered to her parents, “Do you remember what Bonnie said earlier?”
Dermot and Nia recalled the conversation and immediately dismissed it.
“Bonnie couldn’t have done all this. She’s a nobody!”
“Your dad’s right, Brittany. Besides being a country girl, even her former family isn’t this capable. The Shepards are far below our family.”
Brittany frowned. “Do you remember those luxury cars that came to pick up Bonnie during Trina and Hadwin’s engagement party?”
“So you suspect Bonnie has an influential figure’s support?” Nia speculated.
Dermot shook his head. “You two are overthinking it. Although Bonnie has a sugar daddy, he can’t go to such great lengths to destroy us. She can’t do all this without connections, money, and influence, “Remember that our family’s company is worth over a billion dollars. How much would it cost to ruin us? Besides, do you think Bonnie can bury artifacts under our construction site?”
“You’re right, Dad. I must’ve overthought it. Bonnie can’t ruin our family” Brittany sneered at Bonnie and continued, “What should we do now, Dad? If this continues, our family will collapse”
However,
Dermot felt incredibly troubled. “I’ll contact Hadwin’s mother first and see if the tthodes can help us.” there was no answer when he called Demetria. “She’s probably out playing poker again,” Dermot had no choice but to call Hadwin. The latter answered the call, saying, “Mr. Dermot, I heard what’s happening. Who did you guys cross?”
