| Body | It was the middle of summer. <br /> <br /> Inside the Shepard Villa, a young woman sat on an expensive leather sofa, lazily enjoying her bubblegum. Her flawless skin seemed to glisten under the sunlight. <br /> <br /> She was as beautiful as a work of art. <br /> <br /> She puffed and blew a bubble even larger than her face. <br /> <br /> "Bonnieâs just not good enough for me, okay? I'm canceling the wedding!"<br /> <br /> The man standing in the doorway threw the young woman a disgusted look. <br /> <br /> Bonnie's mother, Vera Shepard, was alarmed. <br /> <br /> "Hadwin, I know I can't really blame you for this because Bonnie is always fooling around.<br /> <br /> "But her grandpa and your grandpa wanted you to marry her. How could you cancel the wedding just like that?"<br /> <br /> Vera shot Bonnie a glare. <br /> <br /> "Apologize to Hadwin now, and promise that you'll never fool around again!"<br /> <br /> Bonnie popped her bubblegum and looked up defiantly. <br /> <br /> "Apologize? He should be the one apologizing to me! He broke his promise to marry me and insulted me!"<br /> <br /> Vera was infuriated. <br /> <br /> Before she could say a word, Bonnie continued, "Besides, I've never fooled around, okay? He's the one who's been cheating on me! So I donât care if the wedding is canceled anyway."<br /> <br /> "Bonnie! Why, youâ"<br /> <br /> Vera spoke through clenched teeth. <br /> <br /> "Enough, Vera." <br /> <br /> Holding up his hand, Hadwin interrupted and said, "Bonnie's beauty is only skin deep. I appreciate inner beauty more.<br /> <br /> "I'll never marry someone like her, even if she begs me to. There's only one girl Iâll ever marryâ"<br /> <br /> He looked upstairs lovingly. <br /> <br /> "And that's Trina."<br /> <br /> "Hadwin!" Moved, Trina Shepard rushed downstairs. <br /> <br /> "Trina!" Hadwin strode over to the stairwell and opened his arms. <br /> <br /> Trina threw herself into his embrace. <br /> <br /> Tears welled up in Trina's eyes. "I can finally marry you now!"<br /> <br /> "Iâm sorry, Trina, I should have canceled the wedding sooner." <br /> <br /> "It's all right. I know you had your reasonsâŠ" <br /> <br /> As the couple made eyes at each other, Bonnie received a text: <br /> <br /> "Ms. Bonita, the research is at its final stage. Elite soldiers have been sent to escort you for your safety. We're arriving now."<br /> <br /> Bonnie wrote a reply: "Be right out." <br /> <br /> She spat out her bubblegum, got up, and headed toward the door. <br /> <br /> Trina, who was secretly watching her, thought Bonnie was leaving because she felt ashamed. <br /> <br /> But she didnât think Bonnie had been humiliated enough.<br /> <br /> "Don't go, Bonnie! I'm sorry for what happened. Hadwin and I love each other. You can just blame me for this, okay? It's not his fault." <br /> <br /> Bonnie calmly looked over her shoulder.<br /> <br /> "Fuck off, bitch," Bonnie said impassively. <br /> <br /> "Wonât you forgive me? Why don't you hit me so you can feel better?"<br /> <br /> Trina took Bonnie's hand and used it to slap her own face. <br /> <br /> "What the hell are you doing, Bonnie? How dare you assault your sister!"<br /> <br /> Vera charged over and smacked Bonnie's hand away. <br /> <br /> Bonnie looked down and saw the red mark on her hand. <br /> <br /> After a few seconds, she gazed up at Vera. <br /> <br /> Vera was her biological mother, but she had always been partial to Trina, who was adopted. <br /> <br /> A teary-eyed Trina started to choke up. "It's not her fault, mom. It's all on me. I shouldn't have stolen her fiancĂ©. Iâ"<br /> <br /> Before she could finish, Bonnie interrupted. <br /> <br /> "Why would I blame you? Youâre a born slut. You can't help yourself, can you?" <br /> <br /> Trina was infuriated, but she couldn't ruin her nice girl image. <br /> <br /> "Trina's your younger sister, Bonnie! How could you say such a thing?" <br /> <br /> Vera looked at Bonnie in disappointment. <br /> <br /> Bonnie, however, was impassive. <br /> <br /> "She is not my sister."<br /> <br /> 20 years ago, Bonnie and Trina were accidentally switched at birth by a nurse.<br /> <br /> It wasn't until five years ago that the truth came to light, and she was brought back to the Shepard family from the countryside.<br /> <br /> Vera continued to raise Trina as she didnât want her to live in poverty. <br /> <br /> Instead of making it up to Bonnie, Vera became biased against her due to her rural upbringing. <br /> <br /> "How could you say something so hurtful? I might not have given birth to her, but sheâs still my daughter. Don't ever say that again!" <br /> <br /> Vera often wished that she had given birth to Trina instead. <br /> <br /> Bonnie had heard that many times. <br /> <br /> "I need to go. I'm not coming back tonight."<br /> <br /> Bonnie headed to the door. <br /> <br /> "What? You're going out to fool around again?" Vera was angry. <br /> <br /> "It's not like that," Bonnie replied. <br /> <br /> "Then what have you been doing? Spill it!" Vera shouted. <br /> <br /> Bonnie pursed her lips with a frown. "It's classified. I can't tell you." <br /> <br /> She left the villa before Vera could say another word. <br /> <br /> "What did I do to deserve such a daughter?"<br /> <br /> Outside, Bonnie reached the gate. <br /> <br /> She saw more than a hundred green armored vehicles come roaring over. <br /> <br /> Suddenly, a deafening âwhoop-whoop-whoopâ was heard, accompanied by gusts of strong wind. <br /> <br /> Bonnie looked up and saw a dozen helicopters hovering in the sky, ready for action. <br /> <br /> Soldiers dressed in matching camouflage uniforms swiftly descended from the vehicles and surrounded Bonnie in an orderly fashion. <br /> <br /> Their leader saluted Bonnie. "Please get in the car, Ms. Bonita." <br /> <br /> "Why did you bring so many people here?" <br /> <br /> Bonnie scanned her surroundings, noting not only the large number of people but also the heavy weaponry they held.<br /> <br /> "You're a national treasure of Arvandor, Ms. Bonita. We canât let anything happen to you. I would have brought at least ten times more soldiers if you hadnât said something.â<br /> <br /> The man who said that was Brigham Hartley. He wore navy blue epaulets on his shoulders adorned with yellow trim. <br /> <br /> He stood tall and had an imposing presence.<br /> <br /> "Come on, I'm just going to the research institute. Besides, I can take care of myself, okay?" Bonnie said nonchalantly. <br /> <br /> "The whole world is waiting for the results of your research. If you succeed, itâll be a game-changer for human civilization. Weâll do anything to ensure your safety and keep anyone else from finding out your true identity!" Brigham said, excitedly. He was a huge fan of Bonnie.<br /> <br /> Bonnie raised her brow and tried to change the subject. <br /> <br /> "Oh, where's Jim?" <br /> <br /> "He's gone overseas to join the International Fighting Championship. I'll be in charge of your safety for now." <br /> <br /> "Okay, let's go." Bonnie got into the vehicle. <br /> <br /> The Shepard family butler heard the commotion and went out to the gate to find out what was going on. He was shocked to see Bonnie being escorted away by soldiers in camouflage. <br /> <br /> "Oh, no, ma'am! Ms. Bonnieâs been taken away by the police."<br /> <br /> "What on earth happened?" Vera was astounded. <br /> <br /> "I have no idea, ma'am! An army of police officers cornered her and took her away."<br /> <br /> Vera quickly rushed out of the villa, followed by Trina and Hadwin. <br /> <br /> When they reached the gate, the helicopters were long gone, and Vera only saw the SUVs moving away. <br /> <br /> "What the hell?" Vera grew pale and held a hand to her heart. <br /> <br /> "Has Bonnie broken the law?" Trina asked.<br /> <br /> "So many people came to get her! What could she possibly have done?" Hadwin frowned. <br /> <br /> Murder? <br /> <br /> Multiple homicides? <br /> <br /> Or something even crazier?<br /> <br /> They had no way of knowing for now. <br /> <br /> ***<br /> <br /> Two days later, a round of applause erupted in the top laboratory of the city of Pyralis. <br /> <br /> "Woohoo! We've finally succeeded after working on the research for a whole year." <br /> <br /> "We owe it to Ms. Bonita. We couldn't have developed the new carbon nanomaterial so soon without her guidance!"<br /> <br /> "That's right, she's the reason why we succeeded! Weâll be able to make advancements in every industry in the country once this nanomaterial is widely adopted. This is great news for Arvandor!"<br /> <br /> "We're going to wow the whole world!" <br /> <br /> Thrilled, the highly respected and elderly professors cheered like children. <br /> <br /> Bonnie, however, continued to drink her coffee calmly. <br /> <br /> One of the elderly professors approached her. <br /> <br /> "Iâve just received a call from the National Research Institute, Ms. Bonita. Theyâd like to know when youâll be available to hold the press conference."<br /> <br /> "Well, that's up to them." <br /> <br /> The old professor asked tentatively, âDo you mind if I take care of it?â<br /> <br /> "Go ahead," Bonnie said. <br /> <br /> "Oh, and even the International Collaborative Research Organization has called to ask about this now that we've garnered nationwide attention. You need to come to the press conference, okay?" <br /> <br /> He was worried because Bonnie was usually low-key and almost never showed up at events like this. <br /> <br /> Bonnie hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay." <br /> <br /> 'Woohoo!'<br /> <br /> The professor whooped inwardly in relief. He really thought she would say no.<br /> <br /> If she had, he would have been placed in a difficult position because the higher-ups would insist he make her go. <br /> <br /> "I'll deal with it then." <br /> <br /> "Sure." Bonnie waved him off and continued to drink her coffee. <br /> <br /> Her phone vibrated. <br /> <br /> The caller ID showed that it was Sigmund Knight. <br /> <br /> Bonnie answered it, and the old man's excited voice came through. <br /> <br /> "I heard your weddingâs been canceled, Bonnie. Congratulations!" He laughed heartily. <br /> <br /> She had expected him to say this, so Bonnie waited for him to finish. <br /> <br /> "Now, according to our agreement, you would think about marrying my grandson if you were no longer engaged. Itâs time to fulfill your promise." <br /> <br /> Bonnie raised her brow. "Okay, but will your grandson agree to this? He's the hottest bachelor in Pyralis. He could have any girl he wants."<br /> <br /> "He has to. Oh, I asked him to pick you up at a supermarket near the research institute so he wouldn't find out your true identity. I've given him your number. Heâll text you when he arrives." <br /> <br /> Her phone dinged as she received a message that read "I'm here." <br /> <br /> Sigmund heard it and quickly said, "My grandson must have texted you. Go meet him now." <br /> <br /> "Okay," Bonnie answered indifferently. She left the institute after bidding the professors goodbye. <br /> <br /> As she stepped out of the building, she saw an eye-catching black Maybach. <br /> <br /> "That looks familiarâŠ" <br /> <br /> Three years ago, she successfully treated the father of a rich tycoon from overseas. <br /> <br /> She had been given a limited-edition Maybach as a giftâthere were only ten in the world. <br /> <br /> She didn't like driving, so she gave it to Sigmund for his birthday. <br /> <br /> Just as Bonnie remembered what happened, the driver's window lowered, revealing a handsome face. <br /> <br /> "Hi, you're Bonnie Shepard, right?" <br /> <br /> "Yup." Bonnie nodded, She sized up the man in front of her. <br /> <br /> He was wearing an open-collared floral shirt with a peculiar-looking necklace around his neck, and seemed incredibly frivolous. <br /> <br /> Was this Sigmund's grandson? What the hell?<br /> <br /> "Woah, I didn't expect you to be so pretty!" he praised, then turned to someone in the back seat. "Ivor, you lucky son-of-a-bitch! Sigmund has good taste." <br /> <br /> When Bonnie heard him say that, she knew she had been mistaken. <br /> <br /> As she was about to open the car door, a cold voice from the back seat said, "I don't give a shit, okay? I want nothing to do with her." <br /> <br /> Bonnie impassively opened the door and got into the car. <br /> <br /> She was amazed when she saw Sigmund's actual grandson. <br /> <br /> Although she was only 20, she had been to many countries and seen many good-looking men, but very few had impressed her like this. <br /> <br /> However, she quickly looked away because she wanted nothing to do with him as well.<br /> <br /> Besides, she noticed that the man kept working on his laptop and didn't even bother to look at her. <br /> <br /> She could tell he didn't want to be there either. <br /> <br /> "Ms. Bonnie, I'm Ged Franklin, Ivor's best friend," Ged spoke as he drove. <br /> <br /> "Oh, hi," Bonnie answered politely. <br /> <br /> "I hope you don't mind me asking this. Is it true that you havenât graduated from high school yet even though you're 20 already?"<br /> <br /> "Uh-huh." <br /> <br /> "You're going to take the college entrance test soon, huh? Do you need any help getting into university? My grandfather teaches at Pyralis UniversityâŠ" <br /> <br /> Ged kept talking, but Bonnie merely responded with "uh-huh". <br /> <br /> He thought that she and Ivor were similar. <br /> <br /> Ged got bored with Bonnieâs monosyllabic answers and stopped asking her questions. <br /> <br /> But at that moment, Bonnie spoke. <br /> <br /> "The car used to be Sigmund's, right?" <br /> <br /> "Yeah, how do you know that?" Ged asked curiously. <br /> <br /> Bonnie said truthfully, "Well, I gave it to him as a gift." <br /> <br /> As he heard that, Ivor looked up at herâ<br /> <br /> When Ivor saw Bonnie's beautiful face, his eyes lit up, which rarely happened. <br /> <br /> It wasnât just because of her looks. It was also because of what she had just said. <br /> <br /> Ged burst out laughing. "That's a good one! You're funny, I'll give you that." <br /> <br /> "You don't believe me?"<br /> <br /> Bonnie didn't care if they believed her, but she wanted to tell the truth. <br /> <br /> She looked serious, but Ged started to doubt her.<br /> <br /> "Do you know what car this is? Do you really expect us to believe that you gave it to Sigmund?" <br /> <br /> It was clear that he didn't think she could afford it. <br /> <br /> Bonnie nodded, "This model was launched three years ago by Mercedez, with a global limited edition of ten units, I think."<br /> <br /> She remembered that was what the tycoon had told her. <br /> <br /> Ged's eyes went wide. 'She knows?<br /> <br /> 'She knows, but she still has the nerve to claim that she gave this to Sigmund? She's f*cking unbelievable!<br /> <br /> 'How could Sigmund want Ivor to marry her? She's so full of sh*t!' <br /> <br /> Ged decided not to pursue the matter out of respect for the Knight family. <br /> <br /> Soon, the car reached the Knight Residence. <br /> <br /> "We're here," Ivor told Bonnie impassively.<br /> <br /> She opened the door and got out. <br /> <br /> Ged looked over his shoulder at Ivor. "Bro, I know it's none of my business, but Sigmundâs made a bad choice." <br /> <br /> Ivor said, "I told you, I wanted to have nothing to do with her." <br /> <br /> Ged was relieved he was not interested in her. <br /> <br /> Sigmund was waiting at the door. When he spotted Bonnie, his cloudy eyes lit up. <br /> <br /> "You're finally here, Bonnie! What do you think of my villa?"<br /> <br /> Bonnie looked inside the luxurious living hall. It had crystal chandeliers, genuine leather sofas, and exquisite tiles. <br /> <br /> "It's not bad." <br /> <br /> "Marry my grandson then, and you can raise your children here. Will three kids be enough? Hmm, make it seven!" <br /> <br /> Ged laughed. "Come on, Sigmund, get off their backs! Theyâre grown adults, after all."<br /> <br /> Sigmund ignored him. He took Bonnie's hand and put it on Ivor's. <br /> <br /> They quickly pulled their hands apart. <br /> <br /> "Grandpa, I brought her here like you wanted, and that's as far as I'm willing to go. I'm in no mood for romance, so please stop trying to play cupid, okay?" Ivor said grimly. <br /> <br /> "No mood for romance? You're into girls, aren't you? Or are the rumors true? That you always hang out with Ged because you're gay?" <br /> <br /> Ged spat out his water. <br /> <br /> "I'd be proud to be gay, but I'm straight, all right?" <br /> <br /> "Yeah, right!" <br /> <br /> Ged was speechless. <br /> <br /> Ivor knew that Sigmund was keen to set him up with Bonnie, so he tried to dissuade him. "She and I aren't right for each other." <br /> <br /> "How so?" <br /> <br /> Ivor glanced at Bonnie and said solemnly, "Grandpa, you're right that I've always been a bit of a snob, but there's a reason for that. I skipped grades and was admitted directly into Pyralis University. <br /> <br /> "Ever since I became CEO of the company, I've led it to great success, and we've become the leader in many fields!"<br /> <br /> Sigmund frowned. "What are you trying to say?" <br /> <br /> Ivor narrowed his eyes and glanced at Bonnie. He said coldly, "She's not good enough for me."<br /> <br /> "She's not good enough for you? Donât you know that she'sâ"<br /> <br /> Before Sigmund could finish, Bonnie stopped him by stepping on his foot. <br /> <br /> "She's what?" Ivor asked, puzzled. <br /> <br /> Ged was curious too. <br /> <br /> Sigmund wanted to tell them who Bonnie really was, but she glared at him and wouldn't let him.<br /> <br /> The old man cleared his throat. "She's⊠the girl I want you to marry! Besides, how could you say she's not good enough for you? You're 27. You should be grateful that she doesn't care how much older you are. And you should apologize to her for being so rude." <br /> <br /> Ivor pursed his lips, got up, and looked at Bonnie. <br /> <br /> "I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings, but I'm just telling the truth." <br /> <br /> Bonnie swallowed a piece of orange and said casually, "You don't have to apologize. I was going to say the same thing to you. You're good, but you're not good enough."<br /> <br /> Silence fell in the living room. <br /> <br /> Ivor's impassive eyes betrayed a hint of emotion as he looked at Bonnie appraisingly. <br /> <br /> Ged was surprised that she had the nerve to say such a thing. <br /> <br /> "What's the matter with you two? Don't you care for me at all?" <br /> <br /> Sigmund was exasperated. <br /> <br /> "Bonnie, don't forget that you said you'd do anything I asked after I saved you and your family."<br /> <br /> Bonnie frowned. <br /> <br /> "And you, Ivor. When you were still a student, your parents didnât want you to waste your time on anything unproductive. If it weren't for my support, would you have been able to play chess and join those competitions?<br /> <br /> "You said that as long as I helped persuade your parents to let you play chess, you'd do what I said in the future. Why are you going back on your word?"<br /> <br /> Ivor was stumped. <br /> <br /> All of a sudden, the living room became quiet again. <br /> <br /> A moment later, Sigmund spoke. <br /> <br /> "I know I canât force love, so how about this? You get engaged and weâll see how things go." <br /> <br /> Bonnie thought about it and said, "Okay, but I want to set a time limit." <br /> <br /> "All right, 10 years then. If you think you're not right for each other after that, I'll call it off," Sigmund said. <br /> <br /> Bonnie shot him a look of disbelief. <br /> <br /> "You might as well have said 50 years." <br /> <br /> Sigmund slapped his thigh excitedly. "50 years it is!" <br /> <br /> Bonnie was at a loss for words. She knew he was doing this on purpose.<br /> <br /> "One month. After one month, I'll have nothing to do with him," Bonnie said coldly. <br /> <br /> "One month? That's too short, isn't it? Talk to her, Ivor," Sigmund said anxiously. <br /> <br /> Ivor said impassively, "Okay, one month it is." <br /> <br /> "Deal!" <br /> <br /> "Great, it's a deal then." <br /> <br /> Bonnie and Ivor had finally agreed on something. <br /> <br /> Exasperated, Sigmund let out a long sigh. <br /> <br /> "Since you've made up your mind, I'll pick a date for your engagement." <br /> <br /> "Okay." Bonnie checked the time and got up. "It's late. I should get going." <br /> <br /> "Why don't you stay for dinner?" Sigmund tried to persuade her to stay. <br /> <br /> "I havenât been home in days. My parents will be worried." <br /> <br /> Sigmund acquiesced after he heard her say that.<br /> <br /> As he watched Bonnie leave, Ged said, "She hasn't gone home in days? Isn't she a student? She doesn't seem to be sick. Why would she take so many days off?<br /> <br /> "She must have skipped class, huh? Sigmund, what were you thinking? How could you choose a girl like that to be Ivor's wife?"<br /> <br /> "You donât know anything about her, okay?" Sigmund was exasperated. <br /> <br /> Ged decided to drop the subject for now. <br /> <br /> "Oh, I almost forgot!" Ged looked toward Ivor. "I've managed to get in touch with the Shepherd!" <br /> <br /> "For real?" Ivor grew excited. <br /> <br /> Even his eyes lit up. <br /> <br /> Ged tsked. "You only come alive when we talk about chess, don't you?" <br /> <br /> "Cut the crap! When did you contact the Shepherd? Did he agree to play a game with me?"<br /> <br /> That was all Ivor cared about. <br /> <br /> "I only managed to get in touch with his friend. He said the Shepherdâs been busy lately, so he'll tell him when he's free." <br /> <br /> "Great, I'll wait then." Ivor squeezed his fists to contain his excitement. <br /> <br /> ***<br /> <br /> The butler rushed into the Shepard villa. <br /> <br /> "Ma'am! Ms. Bonnie is back!" <br /> <br /> "What? How is she back?" <br /> <br /> Vera and her husband, Gresham Shepard, were in the middle of dinner. They exchanged a look. <br /> <br /> At that moment, Bonnie entered the house in her sneakers. <br /> <br /> Vera put down her fork and quickly walked up to her. <br /> <br /> "Didnât you get taken away by the police? Did you manage to⊠escape?" <br /> <br /> Vera was troubled, and Gresham gave his daughter a stern look. <br /> <br /> "I might not be your dad, but I suggest you surrender. If you donât, I'll have to call the cops for your own good." <br /> <br /> Bonnie frowned and said placidly, "I didn't break the law or escape from anywhere, all right?" <br /> <br /> Gresham's face stiffened. "You really wonât turn yourself in?" <br /> <br /> Bonnie didn't bother to explain. <br /> <br /> Gresham took out his phone and called the police station. <br /> <br /> "Hello, I'd like to make a police report. <br /> <br /> "My daughter was arrested two days ago, but she escaped and returned home. I told her to give herself up, but she refused. Please come arrest her now!" <br /> <br /> "Her name? Bonnie Shepard. B-O-N-N-I-E, S-H-E-P-A-R-D." <br /> <br /> "Please hold, sir. Let me check the records." <br /> <br /> A minute later, the voice came through, stammering this time. <br /> <br /> "Yâyouâve made a mistake. Bonâ" she coughed, "Bonnie Shepard hasnât broken any law or escaped from the police.<br /> <br /> "If you make a false report again, we'll charge you!"<br /> <br /> With that, she hung up.<br /> <br /> Gresham was stupefied. Vera was beside him and had heard everything the police officer said. <br /> <br /> "Are you done? I'll go upstairs then." Bonnie left. <br /> <br /> Vera felt a sense of pity as she watched her walk away.<br /> <br /> After all, Bonnie might be a loser, but she was still her daughter. <br /> <br /> "Iâm sorry, Bonnie. We were wrong about you." <br /> <br /> Saddened, Bonnie stopped and looked over her shoulder at Vera. That woman hardly ever apologized to her and was never so gentle to her. <br /> <br /> Gresham sighed. <br /> <br /> "I was just worried about you. Anyway, I apologize." <br /> <br /> Bonnie frowned. "It's okay." <br /> <br /> The living room fell silent, and Bonnie spoke first. <br /> <br /> "I'm hitting the sack." <br /> <br /> "Wait!" <br /> <br /> Vera stopped Bonnie. "What on earth happened the other day? Why did you get taken away?" <br /> <br /> "I told you, it's classified. I'll tell you when the time is right." <br /> <br /> Bonnie told her the truth. <br /> <br /> Vera was losing her patience and felt disappointed and angry. <br /> <br /> She didnât want to hear any more lies, so she changed the subject. <br /> <br /> "The school called. They said they might kick you out if you skip classes again." <br /> <br /> "I'll handle it." <br /> <br /> Bonnie wasn't worried about getting kicked out of school because she could easily get someone to take care of that. <br /> <br /> But Vera exploded. <br /> <br /> "You'll handle it? How? Do you think you're the principal or something? You're 20 years old, Bonnie! You could have graduated long ago if you hadn't skipped school so often. Hell, you even took one whole year off before!<br /> <br /> "Trina was born on the same day as you, but she's already a sophomore at Pyralis University!<br /> <br /> âIf you keep fooling around like this, youâll never get into college!<br /> <br /> âAnd even if you do, it'll probably be some third-rate college!"<br /> <br /> Bonnie had told Vera why she had to take a break from school back then. <br /> <br /> But her parents didn't believe her and had scolded her for lying. <br /> <br /> Bonnie didn't bother trying to explain herself again. <br /> <br /> "Don't worry, I'm not going to some third-rate college. I'll be going to Pyralis University." <br /> <br /> "Pyralis University?" <br /> <br /> Vera could hardly believe her ears. <br /> <br /> "Yup." Bonnie nodded. <br /> <br /> "That's the best university in Pyralis! Only the cream of the crop gets in there!<br /> <br /> âTrina got in because she studied hard day and night.<br /> <br /> âYouâve repeated grades for two years. What makes you think you can get in?" <br /> <br /> "I'll have no problem getting in if I become the top scorer in the entrance test." <br /> <br /> Bonnie was confident. <br /> <br /> Vera was truly exasperated. By the time she regained her composure, Bonnie had returned to her bedroom. <br /> <br /> She had worked on her research for two days straight, and she was exhausted. <br /> <br /> Just as she was getting ready to shower, she received a video call from one of her best friends. <br /> <br /> She answered it, and a handsome man showed up on screen. <br /> <br /> "Hey, the Knight wants to have a game with you."<br /> <br /> Bonnie was intrigued. "Are you sure it's him?" <br /> <br /> "100%!"<br /> <br /> "Okay, I'm in." <br /> <br /> "That's terrific!" Heath Rice sounded excited. "The Shepherd and the Knight are the titans of the chess world. This will be the game of the century! I'm really looking forward to it. I'll reply to him right away!" <br /> <br /> "Sure." <br /> <br /> After hanging up, Bonnie took a hot shower and lay down in bed to sleep. <br /> <br /> ***<br /> <br /> At 6:00 a.m. the next day, Bonnie left her house in a tank top and a pair of leggings.<br /> <br /> She hadnât done any kickboxing training in a long time, so she decided to work out in the park. <br /> <br /> Bonnie saw an old man shadow boxing while his peers looked on.<br /> <br /> "Way to go, Orson!" <br /> <br /> "No one can take a punch like that!" <br /> <br /> The elderly onlookers showered the man with their compliments. <br /> <br /> Bonnie frowned and muttered to herself, "Your footwork is poor, and your strikes are sloppy." <br /> <br /> She had learned kickboxing from a young age, so she couldn't help pointing out his mistakes. <br /> <br /> The elderly men heard her and looked over. <br /> <br /> They looked at the young woman skeptically.<br /> <br /> "Hey, young lady, what do you know about kickboxing?" <br /> <br /> "Don't talk about what you don't know, okay?" <br /> <br /> "Yeah, Orson has studied kickboxing for over a decade. I'm sure he knows what he's doing." <br /> <br /> But Bonnie was undaunted. <br /> <br /> "I was just telling the truth. He wasnât doing it right."<br /> <br /> "Watch your mouth, young lady!" <br /> <br /> Scott had a bad temper. He was a huge fan of Orson Steele, and couldn't accept anyone criticizing him. <br /> <br /> "Get lost, or I'm going toâ"<br /> <br /> "Leave her alone, Scott. She's just a kid." <br /> <br /> Smiling amicably, Orson walked up to Bonnie.<br /> <br /> "So you know some kickboxing, huh?" <br /> <br /> "Yup." Bonnie nodded. <br /> <br /> Orson studied her face and was surprised to find that she didn't look like she was lying. <br /> <br /> "How long have you been doing it?" <br /> <br /> Bonnie tried to remember. "Since I was three." <br /> <br /> "You guys hear that? Kickboxing at three years old? <br /> <br /> "I've lived many years, but I've never met anyone so full of shit!'<br /> <br /> Scott and others laughed so hard that they doubled over. <br /> <br /> Bonnie remained impassive. <br /> <br /> Touching his beard, Orson narrowed his eyes and said, "You said I didn't do it right. Why don't you show me the right way?" <br /> <br /> Bonnie checked the time. As she only needed to get to school at 7:30 a.m., she had time. <br /> <br /> "I'll have to go to school later, so I'll only show this once. Pay close attention, okay?" <br /> <br /> "What a show-off! If she can pull this off, I'll shave my head and do a headstandâ" <br /> <br /> Before Scott could finish, his jaw dropped. |
