Chapter 77
The guests heard Flynn’s oath and were swayed again. It was a solemn oath. So, had Flynn lied or not?
Sydney pitted herself against Bonnie furiously and said, “My son has sworn a solemn oath. You can no longer deny that you tried to seduce him!”
Bonnie was very surprised. She couldn’t believe that Flynn had sworn an oath like that. However, she wasn’t going to be deterred by an insufferable jerk.
“What’s the point of a legal system if we rely only on oaths?”
“Why, you! I can’t believe you’re still denying it. Do you think everyone here believes you?” Sydney’s chest heaved as she breathed heavily.
Jim stepped forward. “I hold in my hands the proof that Flynn was trying to take advantage of Ms.
Bonnie.”
Ivor squinted at Jim.
“You have proof? What proof? Show me! Show everyone if you can! My son is innocent. He swore a solemn oath, for heaven’s sake. Let’s see this proof of yours!”
Jim took out his phone and played a recording.

It was very clear that Flynn was the one who had tried to hit on Bonnie.
Sydney stopped hollering. Her jaw fell to the floor. Gunnar was so ashamed he wished he could disappear.
Flynn stared daggers at Jim. The bodyguard had thrown a wrench into his plan.
“Ahem!” Sigmund walked over and looked at Flynn. “It’s bad enough you wasted most of your days drinking and fooling around. You even flirted with Ivor’s wife!”
“I’m sorry, Grandpa! Please forgive me. I let it go to my head. Anyway, I thought he didn’t like Bonnie. Didn’t you want her to marry into our family? I’m willing to take her if Ivor doesn’t want to.” Flynn patted himself on the back internally as he spoke.
Ivor’s face grew dark.
Sigmund struck Flynn with his cane. “You bastard! You clearly haven’t seen the error of your ways! I can’t believe you’re saying such nonsense!”
Flynn yelled in pain, but he wasn’t willing to give up.
“You’re playing favorites, Grandpa. I’m your grandson too. Why can’t I marry Bonnie instead of
Ivor?”
“Do you deserve her? Take a look at yourself. I wouldn’t have said what I said if you deserved her in the slightest. If I set her up with you, I’d be ruining her life!”

“How could you say that about your own grandson, Grandpa? She just won the Best Scholar Award. What’s so special about her?” Flynn refused to give in.
“She just won the Best Scholar Award? You know nothing!”
Flynn could see he had really pissed Sigmund off. Things wouldn’t end well if he kept arguing with
him.
Sigmund turned to look at Gunnar and Sydney. “Take him back and make sure he learns some manners. He’s grounded for a month!”
Sydney felt resentful and was about to say something, but her husband stopped her. “Let’s take Flynn home. We’ll talk about it later.”
What a coward! Sydney glared at him. She wouldn’t have let this rest if the bodyguard hadn’t shown. everyone the recording.
The party ended because of this incident.
“Damn it! That bodyguard ruined everything!” Flynn flew into a rage as soon as he was back home.
“Calm down, Mr. Flynn. How about I get a few men to teach him a lesson?” Someone suggested.
“Good idea! Beat him to a pulp. Maim him, even! Remember to find some elite fighters. We can’t afford to underestimate any bodyguard working for Ivor. Wait a minute. We shouldn’t hire bodyguards. This is a job for hitmen!”
“As you wish, Mr. Flynn. I’ll see to it right now.”
Ivor stopped Jim as he was getting into the car with Bonnie.
“You’re going back home with Floyd.”
Jim glanced at Bonnie, but she just gave him a quiet look.
