Chapter 336
“D–Did you say Professor Paul Insulted Ms. Bonita for me? Who are you trying to fool? Why would he do that for me? Why did he insult Ms. Bonita?”
‘She’s right! Why would Professor Paul do that?‘ Gresham and the gang looked at Bonnie.
The latter checked the time and did not feel like explaining it to them. Instead, Bonnie said, “It’s getting late, and I have work to attend to. I don’t have time to stay and chat. If you’re that curious about it, try asking Paul what happened.
“I don’t work at the research institute, so how would I know? Let’s return to my earlier terms. Did you hear them all, Trina?”
Trina lowered her head and reluctantly replied, “I heard them.”
Bonnie gazed at Gresham and Vera, saying, “Since you’ve disowned me and don’t seem interested in reconciliation, can you two please stop lecturing me as if you’re my parents? After all, you no longer have the right to do that.
“You wouldn’t scold a stranger so arrogantly, would you? I want you two to stop talking to me as if I’m your daughter whenever we see each other. Instead, start treating me like a stranger.”
After some thought, Gresham took his phone and made a video. “I, Gresham Shepard, will make another announcement. I have thoroughly cut ties with Bonnie Shepard.
“My family and I are no longer affiliated with her in any way, shape, or form. Should I bump into her wherever it may be, I shall regard her as a stranger.” Immediately after, he posted the video on the family’s official Twitter account, asking, “How was that, Bonnie?”
She nodded in satisfaction.
Vera looked at her as if she were a stranger and said, “Now that we’ve held up our end of the bargain, please do your part and let Trina return to Pyralis University.”
“You got it,” Bonnie made a phone call. “Russell, I’ve made a deal with the Shepards Trina into the university.”
‘Did she just call the university president directly?! Gresham and the rest were astounded.

‘Does that mean she knows Mr. Russell personally? They sound pretty close. How’s that even possible?!‘
‘Russell is the president of the great Pyralis University. Why would he be so close to a nobody like
Bonnie? Is it because he also knows Bonnie is the miracle doctor?!”
“Sure, I’ll pass the phone to them.” Bonnie handed her phone to Gresham, saying. “The university president would like a few words with you.”
‘M–Mr. Russell wants to talk to m–me?”
Gresham held the phone to his ear and said nervously, “H–Hello, Mr. Russell.”
“Gresham, I hope you keep your end of the bargain. Your family mustn’t cause Bonnie any more trouble, got it? If it happens again, I’ll do much more than expel Trina. Your whole family won’t be able to live in Pyralls anymore by then.”
Russell’s words terrified Gresham. Considering how the former talked about Bonnie, the duo was much closer than Gresham could have imagined.
After ending the call, Gresham asked, “How on earth do you know the university president?”
Bonnie looked at him blankly, saying, “You’re just a stranger. Why would I tell you about my private life?”
Gresham was furious, but he quickly recomposed himself.
‘It’s as she said. She’ll have her life, and we’ll have ours. It doesn’t matter how well or bad she does in the
future. There’s no point asking her that question.”
Soon after, Bonnie turned her attention to Demetri and Draco. “I’ll give you two the same deal I offered the Shepards. I’ll tell the authorities to free Hadwin, but your family must stop harassing me. I have ways
of putting him back behind bars if you do.”
The Rhodes differed from the Shepards as the former was a much bigger and wealthier family. Hence,
they had some influence throughout Pyralis. They had never suffered such humiliation before this. Of
course, they were more upset about the terms than the Shepards.
