Chapter 456
Ged regretted saying that because it made Rowena hate Bonnie even more.
‘I couldn’t win Ivor’s heart, yet Bonnie dared to play it off like she didn’t care about him. I hate that she’s
playing hard to get.‘
Aimee said, “What do you mean, Ged? Bonnie’s just leading him on. I detest women who do that. I can’t stand by and do nothing when someone like her plays Ivor like a fiddle. I can’t ignore Rowena going through such torture. I’ll tell Grandpa about it and ask him to intervene.”
A moment later, Edward stroked his beard and approached, “Did I hear someone mentioning me?”
“Grandpa!” Aimee took his arm in hers and said, “I was talking about how Bonnie used deceitful means to seduce Ivor. Since you’re a respected professor at Pyralis University, you are the wisest person I know. I need you to figure out how to tear her away from him.”
The older man frowned and asked, “Why do I find that name so familiar?”

“She’s that good–for–nothing that got disowned by the Shepards. I heard she rebelled against her parents and constantly picked on her stepsister. That’s why the Shepards kicked Bonnie out.”
“Oh?” It was evident Edward had not heard about that.
“That’s right, Grandpa! You were too busy with your research to care about such things. Of course,
wouldn’t know about it.”

“Still, why is that name so familiar? It’s like I just heard her name several days ago,” Edward muttered.
Aimee kept bugging him, “Grandpa, you have to help Rowena and Ivor! You’ve known them since they were children. I don’t think you can bear to see poor Rowena getting her heart broken and Ivor taking the wrong path in life because of that country bumpkin.”
Halle followed Aimee’s lead and added, “She’s right! You must pull Ivor out of it, Mr. Edward! You’re a scholar who’s more intelligent than the average Joe. I’m sure he’ll listen to you out of respect.”
“All right, but I’ll need to meet this Bonnie person before doing anything drastic. I’d like to see if she’s as you guys say she is. If you’re right, I’ll talk some sense into Ivor.”
“Grandpa!” Ged chimed in, “Don’t listen to their

“Onsense. Bonnie’s not as bad as they say. She’s actually

“I don’t care about what you think. In 3. Why do you keep defending her?” Aimee was furious.

“Ugh. I can’t stand talking to you.” Aimee knew she could no longer reason with Ged and turned to her grandfather, saying, “I heard there’s a new president at Pyralis University. Can you say a few good words for me and see if they can bend the rules for me to get in, Grandpa?”
“Um…” Edward was troubled. “That’ll be a little tricky. She put in a new rule that forbade us from bringing in students via any loopholes.”
“Please, Grandpa. I’ve always wanted to attend Pyralis University. All of my friends got in, but I didn’t. It’s so humiliating!” she said shamelessly.
That was when Ivor and Bonnie entered the party hall.
“Hey, you guys are here at last!” Ged quickly went to welcome them. Then, he whispered, “Bonnie, my younger sister has a little misunderstanding about you. She has a strong opinion of you but is still naive. Don’t let her get under your skin, okay?”
