Chapter 405
Julia agreed with her daughter, “Shiloh’s right. We can’t just let them go. Also, something’s bothering me. What is Bonnie and Jim’s relationship? Why would he stick his neck out for her like that?”
Josiah said firmly, “The only thing I know is that they’re not a couple.”
“What makes you so sure?”
“I have business relations with the Shepards, and I overheard them saying Bonnie has a sugar daddy. He’s an old man, too.”
“I heard about that, too, but I can’t believe it’s true. Damn it!” Julia roared, “She’s nothing but a despicable homewrecker! How dare she act so cocky in our territory! Honey, why don’t
we hire some henchmen to kill her?
“That way, Master Jim can’t track it back to us. Even if he does suspect us, he won’t have evidence to prove it. I doubt he’ll come after us for a dead woman.”
“That’s a splendid idea! Let’s do it!”
Bonnie sent Nancy to the hospital before going home. Bonnie looked at her phone and realized Ivor had yet to text or call her. She thought it was funny since he constantly contacted her so much that she sometimes ignored him.
However, she found herself missing his constant texts a little.
In the blink of an eye, it was the day of Bonnie’s blind date. She put on the first outfit she found and went to Zephyr Cafe. Meanwhile, her aunt, Laurent Shepard, chatted with a young man and his mother.
The middle–aged woman, Aya, had prominent cheekbones and delicate lips. She had on smokey makeup, too. She asked, “What did you say her name was again? Was it Bonnie?”
“That’s right. My niece is gorgeous. She’s the prettiest girl in the countryside.”
The young man, Tatum, pursed his lips and said, “I must say, the bar is pretty low if she comes from the countryside. I don’t think anyone from there is pretty. Most have to do farm work under the sun. That means tanned skin and calluses, not to mention brawny arms.”
“Oh, please, Tatum. I thought I showed you pictures of her. You said she looked cute.”

“Although she looked cute in the pictures, she could’ve edited them. Such software is magical these days. People can even swap faces,” Tatum raised his chin and added, “My point is, I’ll leave if she isn’t pretty.
“My family’s wealthy, and I’m handsome. Why would I settle for someone who isn’t attractive? After all, I can get any woman I want. I only agreed to this blind date because of
Mom. I wouldn’t have come if you two weren’t college friends.”

“Well, I—” Laurent felt embarrassed when she suddenly saw Bonnie. “There she is!”
Tatum looked toward the door halfheartedly. A moment later, his eyes sparkled, and he instinctively stood up to stare at her.
Meanwhile, Lauren felt proud and triumphant when she saw his reaction.
‘He just complained about how unattractive Bonnie could be. Look at him now.‘ “Hello, everyone,” Bonnie greeted Aya and Tatum courteously.
