I Love You Miss Genius ( Bonnie Shepard ) CHAPTER 169
I Love You, Miss Genius
Chapter 169
William called Bonnie, picking his ears as he said, âSay what now?!â
âYou heard me.â Bonnie smiled with a hint of cunning in her eyes,
That same night, Xavier received a reply from the SR League saying someone had accepted his request. He was so excited that he sent someone to pick the person up.
Bonnie came wearing a black, baggy outfit and had her face covered. She deepened her voice, saying, â Itâll take more than a billion dollars if you want her head.â
Xavier casually responded, âAre you trying to haggle over the price after weâve agreed on one? A billion dollars is more than enough for anyone to live several lifetimes. Your selfâopinion is too high if you think youâre the only one whoâll accept my request.â
âYou got that right. I can confidently say only a few will dare to accept your request. If you donât believe me, keep waiting for someone to show up. Iâm patient. It wonât take long before you come looking for me again,â Bonnie said confidently.
Xavierâs expression grew cold. âIs that so? Weâll see how it goes, then.â
Several days later, he asked to see her again, just as she had expected. Xavier looked miserable since Bonnieâs prediction had come true. He had received no further updates on the request he had posted
on the SR League.
Bonnie sipped some tea and slowly looked up at Xavier. âI told you youâd come looking for me again.â
Xavier felt embarrassed, saying, âThat begs the question. How were you so confident no one else would accept the request?â
Naturally, she was confident because she told William to stop anyone from accepting it. âThatâs because your target is Bonnie, a unique young lady.â
Xavier rubbed his chin and thought, âDid SR League find out that Bonnie has connections to Ivor, Hamish, and Jim? That doesnât really make sense. The SR League has a team of elites who are capable of taking on any task. Itâs plausible that not a single soul would dare to accept my request.â:
âThen, whyâd you accept the request?â
âI have my reasons for doing it. Itâs none of your concern, though.â Bonnie said as she put down her
teacup.
Xavier grew annoyed at how she talked to him. Even so, Bonnieâs patience ran thin as she said, âI believe youâd only trust your request with the SR League and not other task forces.â
Bonnie hit the nail on the head. After all, she was no ordinary lady. Instead, she had support from many influential figures. If he had given his request to the other task force, they might have been able to trace it back to him.

On the other hand, the SR League was on another lever. They had never exposed any private and confidential information, including oneâs identity.
âOut with it. Whatâs your asking price?â
Bonnie gestured and said, âTen billion dollars.â
Her demands struck Xavierâs nerves. âDonât you think youâre asking too much?â
âI took liberty and gave you a discounted price, Mr. Xavier,â she said truthfully.
After all, she was worth way above ten billion dollars. Bonnie noticed how furlous he was, so she stood up and said, âIâm in no hurry. Take your time and consider your options. You should know the drill by now. I believe our paths will cross again.â
Bonnie took a few steps before turning back to look at him. âI heard Sheffyn Entertainmentâs share price has plummeted over the last couple of days. It sounds like a disaster. Besides that, I also heard that the five billion dollar television drama will get canceled soon.
âAll of that happened because of Bonnie. If sheâs dead, then the ten billion dollars wouldâve been a wellâspent investment. Wouldnât you say?â
After careful consideration, Xavier nodded and said, âCan you ensure you wonât expose me?â
âThe prey has taken the bait,â Bonnie thought.
She smiled behind her mask and said, âDonât worry. The SR Leagueâs reputation is at stake. If anyone finds out who you are, the league will pay you back a hundred fold.â
Now that she had guaranteed the secrecy of the request, he decided to take the risk.
âFine. Iâll pay you ten billion for Bonnieâs head.â

He only wanted Bonnie dead as it would dissolve Ivor and Hamishâs alliance as well as Jimâs interference. The King of Combat would also stop targeting Xavier because he would be too busy looking into Bonnieâs death.
