Edward’s jaw dropped as he thought, ‘I might know what she specializes in! That would explain why someone as prestigious as Bonnie would study computer science at Pyralis University.
‘I finally see why Sigmund disregarded everyone’s objection and insisted on setting his grandson up with a countryside girl.‘
Bonnie said, “I meant it when I said you have what it takes to be the university’s vice president. Of course, the decision is yours to make. I won’t push you if you’re uninterested.”
‘Honestly, I’d be disappointed if he rejects the position.‘
“Why, of course, I am!” Edward grinned. “Ahem! Um, Bonnie, what do you think about my talent in scientific research?”
The clueless Aimee began to feel uneasy. After all, her grandfather was outstanding and knowledgeable, yet he humbly asked for Bonnie’s opinion of him.
Bonnie replied straightaway, “You have the potential to be an experienced professor at Pyralis University. Naturally, you possess extraordinary talent and skills.
Edward asked, “Do you think I’ll ever have the honor of visiting Bonita Research Institute as
a way way
to broaden my horizons?”
‘Since he asked that question, he must’ve guessed who I really am. Since that’s the case, there’s no point hiding it anymore.‘
Bonnie said, “Just inform me when you’re free.”
“Fantastic!” Edward was so overjoyed that he jumped and fist–pumped like a child.
He could not contain his excitement. After all, they talked about one of the most renowned research institutes. Any self–respective researcher would want to check out its labs.
“It’s settled, then. Ivor just texted me, so I’ll be leaving now.” Bonnie waved and left.
“Okay, I’ll see you soon, Bonnie!” Edward grew envious of Sigmund as the former watched
Bonnie leave.
‘I can’t believe that old coot has Avandor’s science prodigy as his daughter–in–law!‘
“G–Grandpa, am I seeing things? You are my grandpa, right?” Aimee struggled to digest what she had just seen and heard. Seeing her usually solemn grandfather acting like a child shocked her.

“What nonsense are you spouting?”
“N–No, I mean… You see, I… You just… Ah! Bonnie, yeah, that’s it. Did Bonnie just promote you to be Pyralis University’s vice president?”
“Didn’t you hear a word just now, Aimee?”
“W–Wait a minute and let me think. Bonnie promoted you, but how does she have the power to do that? Is it because she knows someone from Bonita Research Institute? Even so, how does that make you the vice president?
“Does Bonnie know Ms. Bonita?! They’re both Shepards, right? Are you telling me Bonnie is Ms. Bonita’s distant relative?”
Edward’s lips twitched as he thought, ‘I was going to tell Aimee to keep Bonnie’s identity a secret, but my granddaughter is such a fool that she can’t even see the truth. Aimee was listening the whole time, yet that’s what she assumes?‘
After some thought, Edward said, “I think Bonnie made the right call. Even if we allow wealthy people to buy their way into the university, we must ensure their children don’t flunk any subjects. Otherwise, it’ll hurt the university’s reputation.”
“What do you mean by that, Grandpa?”
“It means you can’t tell anyone about my conversation with Bonnie. Understand? It’s a massive deal! If you disobey me and tell anyone, I’ll disown you,” Edward said solemnly. mass
Aimee pouted and said, “Oh, okay. I promise not to tell anyone that Bonnie is Ms. Bonita’s
distant relative.”
‘So what if they’re distant relatives? She’s not Ms. Bonita, and Grandpa doesn’t need to
make such a fuss.‘
Edward sighed and looked at his granddaughter disdainfully. He thought, ‘Bonnie and Aimee are the same age, but the difference between them is as vast as the ocean! Anyone with a granddaughter like Bonnie would have difficulty not smiling in their sleep.‘
“The Shepards, huh?” he muttered.
‘They’ll regret disowning her one day.‘
Bonnie almost bumped into Ivor as she approached the party hall. She asked, “Where are you going in such a hurry?“
