“All right, I got it. Don’t worry, Ged. I won’t care what your sister says about me since she isn’t someone I
know too well.”
Ivor added, “That’s only true, provided she doesn’t take things too far. Bonnie might be generous and forgiving, but that doesn’t mean I’ll tolerate it.”
“Um…” Ged was at a loss.
Suddenly, Aimee appeared from behind him and pointed at Bonnie. The former told Edward, “That’s her,
Grandpa! She’s Bonnie.”
When Ged heard how loud his sister yelled, he wanted to pull her away. Meanwhile, Edward glanced at
Bonnie and then stared at her so hard that his eyes almost popped. He stammered, “M–Miss-”
“Hello there, Professor Edward. I’m Bonnie, a computer science student at Pyralis University. I came to
wish you a happy birthday,” she said calmly.
“Y–You… You’re…” Edward stuttered before laughing heartily and saying, “Th–that’s great! Thank you! It’s
my honor to have you at my birthday party. I’m on cloud nine right now!”
Everyone wondered why he reacted so enthusiastically. They could not shake the feeling that something
strange was happening.
“Grandpa!” Aimee tugged at the older man’s sleeves and asked, “Why are you so friendly to her? I thought you promised me that you’d teach her a lesson.”
Edward’s brows furrowed as he lectured her, “Aimee, that’s rude of you. Bonnie traveled so far to wish me a happy birthday. Not only did you not thank her for coming, but you even asked me to teach her a lesson. Is that how your parents have been raising you?”
Aimee knew her grandfather was genuinely frustrated with her. At that moment, a burning fury overtook her. “What’s wrong with you, Grandpa? You should be lecturing her, but you’re yelling at me instead. I can’t believe you’re getting mad at me for this nobody.”
“Who are you calling a nobody? She’s the-”
‘She’s the university president and is also connected to Bonita Research Institute. How can Aimee claim that she’s a nobody? I wish I could tape her mouth shut right now.‘
“There’s more!” Aimee continued furiously, “She stole Ivor from Rowena. So, how could you defend her?”
Smack!
Edward slapped his granddaughter, causing a pin–drop silence as all the guests looked their way. The older man’s actions also shocked Ged, Rowena, and Halle.
Edward was furious. “Aimee Franklin, where are your manners?! Sigmund arranged for Ivor and Bonnie to get engaged. They’ve also hosted an engagement party. As for Rowena–I know she’s Ivor’s childhood friend, but that’s all.

“They’ve done nothing to show us that they were ever a couple, yet you said Bonnie stole Ivor away from Rowena. The way I see it, Rowena’s trying to tear him away from her!”
Everyone in the hall was stunned, and Rowena froze. After gathering her thoughts, she noticed everyone staring at her strangely. She felt humiliated and wished to bury her head somewhere.
Even Ged did not expect his grandfather to help but glance at Bonnie.
ct so differently toward Bonnie. Ged and Ivor could not
She felt the duo’s intense stares but feigned ignorance. She was content to be a spectator of this incident. Meanwhile, Ged nudged Ivor and whispered, “Don’t you think my grandpa’s acting a little weird
today?”
“Mhm.”
“Do you think it’s because of Bonnie?”
“Mhm.”
“Why, though? Although Bonnie might be tough, my grandpa doesn’t know she’s the miracle doctor. As far as he knows, Bonnie is just an ordinary student studying where he works. He shouldn’t treat her so differently now.”
“Mhm.”
“Is that all you’re going to say?” Ged’s lips twitched.
