Chapter 261
Trina ground her teeth so hard that Bonnie could hear it. The latter said, “Grinding your teeth won’t help. We both know how the family operates. They’ll treat you like a queen if you’re useful, but when you’ve outlived your usefulness, you’re less than dirt to them.
“Use me as an example. Your family thought I was no longer useful to them, and they disowned me. While their blood courses through my veins, you have nothing to fall back on, Trina. I don’t have to tell you what’ll happen once you outlive your usefulness.”
Trina’s emotions ran wild. Although Bonnie was her enemy, she had to admit there was some truth to Bonnie’s words.
Bonnie stood up and crossed her arms, saying, “That’s why you’ll slap yourself just like I asked you to. Come on, let’s hear it.”
Gresham and Vera did not make a sound. Trina could only sigh, knowing they had to agree. Ultimately, she slapped herself.
Bonnie smirked. “That’s too soft. I said I want to hear it. That was hardly a slap.
Trina glared at her former sister and slapped herself again.
Smack!
The sound was crisp.
“Are you happy now?” Trina asked.
Bonnie nodded and said, “That works.”
She then turned to Fernanda and said, “I’ll head inside to treat Harold. The rest of you stay here and watch her. Make sure each slap is as loud as the one she did just now.”
“Okay, leave it to me.” Fernanda rubbed her hands together and approached Trina.
Previously, the latter had cunningly given Bonnie’s exam ID to Fernanda to humiliate Bonnie’s SAT score at Harold’s birthday party. However, Bonnie had a perfect score and won the Best Scholar Award. Then, Trina argued with Fernanda.
That was why Bonnie assigned Fernanda to watch Trina. Bonnie’s former cousin would watch over Trina to ensure she did not stop slapping herself until Bonnie finished treating Harold.
Trina cursed internally, ‘Damn you, Bonnie!‘
Meanwhile, Yolanda glared at Bonnie grimly and said, “Will you please check on Harold now?”
“Sure,” Bonnie responded cheerfully, “I feel much better now. Let’s move.”
Her demeanor caused Yolanda, Gresham, and Vera’s blood pressure to skyrocket. When Bonnie reached Harold’s room, she first checked his pulse.
Yolanda asked with worry, “How is it? Can you help him?”
“His condition has gone on for too long. It would’ve been doable if you had let me treat him years ago. Now, it’ll take much longer to cure him.”
Bonnie’s words enraged Yolanda. “Really? The other doctors gave up treating him. On sound like you can treat him. All you need is time, right? We the other hand, you make to hired various specialists for my husband’s condition. Why are you so confident you can do what the others couldn’t?”
Of course, Yolanda was skeptical of Bonnie’s medical knowledge and purposefully made sarcastic remarks to mock her.
“Don’t worry about that. Your family spent three million dollars on my services. So, I’ll ensure you spend your money well. That’s not a small amount of money, right, Yolanda?”
