I Love You Miss Genius ( Bonnie Shepard ) CHAPTER 104
I Love You, Miss Genius
Chapter 104
Three days later, Gresham, Vera, and Hadwinâs parents reserved the entire hotel for their childrenâs engagement party. Many guests attended, and most came from societyâs upper echelon.
Hadwinâs mother, Demetria, was delighted with her future daughterâinâlaw as she led Trina around to show her off to the guests. âThis is my future daughterâinâlaw, Trina. Hereâs some interesting tidbits. Sheâs so impressive that Professor Terry has high hopes for her.â
âProfessor Terry? Whoâs that?â One of the noblewomen asked.
âWhy, donât you know? I wouldnât have brought him up if he were some random professor. Professor Terry leads a team of researchers in Ms. Bonitaâs research institute.â Demetria gloated.
The crowd gasped in shock and went on to butter Trina up.
âJeez! I canât believe such a prestigious professor admires Trina. I must say, Iâm jealous of you, Demetria! Not only is your son capable, but he also has a keen eye for picking out a wife. What a steal.â
âIâm not as fortunate as you, Demetria. My daughterâinâlaw only knows to argue with me. The thing is, sheâs not nearly as capable as Trina. All she knows is to throw snide remarks with that wretched mouth of hers. Look at Trina, though. Professor Terry of Ms. Bonitaâs research institute admires her.
Bravo!â
âShould I address you as Ms. Trina?â One of the noblewomen asked.
âTrina is fine.â She said gently.
âI heard your internship is about to commence. Now that Professor Terry favors you, will your internship be in Ms. Bonitaâs research institute?â
Trina sneered inwardly and forced a smile. After all, she did not tell the Rhodes family that she had crossed the professors in Bonitaâs research institute. Simultaneously, Hadwin also did not bring it up
because he was trying to preserve his reputation.
âUm⦠Iâm not sure about that. After all, Iâm just a college student.â
âOh. Stop being so modest. If Professor Terry favors you, then youâll surely get into the research institute. Wouldnât you agree, Demetria?â
âExactly! Sheâs going to the research institute.â Demetria chuckled.
Trina bit her lip to suppress her frustration.
âThereâs more. Trinaâs also getting into Pyralis University as one of the honor students.â Demetria continued to praise her daughterâinâlaw.
âGeez. Sheâs pretty and capable. How I wish my daughter is half as good as her.â
âHmm, now that you mentioned it, Trina wasnât supposed to marry your son, was she?â

Demetria turned solemn, saying, âHer elder sister is a goodâforânothing. She often skipped classes and loitered around. She couldnât master anything she learned and is a pathological llar. Even her parents hated having her around.â
âIs she as bad as you say? The way my daughter put it1 believe Trinaâs sisterâs name was Bonnle got into Pyralis University with a perfect score. Apparently, she also won the Best Scholar Award.â
âAre you serious?â It seemed some of them did not know about this.
âIâm as serious as a heart attack.â Demetria had a terrible headache whenever she heard people talking about Bonnie.
âI heard that, too. Still, is that supposed to impress me? Bonnie grew up in the countryside. Sheâs gruff and illâmannered. She doesnât even look at me when I talk to her. For Heavenâs sake, Iâm her
future motherâinâlaw.
âShe ought to show me respect. The way I heard it, she got in a fight with someone and got arrested.â
âSheesh! How uncivilized.â
âBonnieâs from the countryside? The fault isnât with her. Itâs the environment she grew up in.â
Trina could barely hide her satisfaction when she heard the insults about Bonnie. The former approached Vera and asked, âMom, why isnât Bonnie here yet? Is it because sheâs unhappy that you have her my old dress? I guess itâs my fault.
âShe fancied the dress Iâm wearing now. If only I had given it to her, maybe she wouldâve shown up today.â
âWhy do you always have to be so thoughtful? The Rhodes family customâtailored this dress for you. What makes her think you should give it to her just because she wanted it? Who does she think she
is?â
Vera might have sounded like she was scolding Trina. However, she was speaking up for her. It made
Trina feel better about herself.
âHmph, you canât win against me, Bonnie! Youâll have to wear my old dress to the engagement party. After all, Iâve picked out the most hideous outfit for you. You wonât show up at all if you know whatâs best for you. Youâll only hurt yourself if you do.â
Trina was in her thoughts when she heard a commotion at the entrance. âYowza! Whoâs that? Sheâs gorgeous!â
