I Love You, Miss Genius
Chapter 93
âItâs possible,â Ivor said slowly. Just like that, Floyd was lost in thought.
Trina couldnât wait to get down to business the moment Bonnie returned home.
âYouâre back at last, Bonnie. Areât the SATs over? Why are you still staying out there on your own?â
âWhat does it have to do with you?â Bonnie wasnât going to waste any words on Trina. She walked straight to the couch, sat down, and started peeling an orange.
Trina deliberately looked at Vera with sad eyes and turned her head aside. Then, she lifted her hands and pretended to wipe some tears away.
Vera was enraged. âTrina was just expressing her concern for you, Bonnie. That was too much.â
Bonnie smiled faintly and said, âThatâs true! She was so concerned about me that she nearly charged into Ms. Bonitaâs private room at the hotel restaurant. The nerve of her.â
Trinaâs heart gripped with fear. Vera was gobsmacked.
âWhat did you say?â
Trina tried to cut them off to put an end to the topic. âYou must be tired, Mom. How about I give you a massage?â
Bonnie smiled more widely. âYouâre terrible at covering up what youâve done, Trina. Did you really think Mom would be so gullible?â
âTell me what on earth happened.â Vera grabbed Trina. What Bonnie had revealed was so serious that she shuddered. She knew Trina had found out that Ms. Bonita was going to celebrate the anniversary of her research institute.
When she called her daughter, Trina had made it sound like she hadnât found out where Ms. Bonita was having lunch. But if what Bonnie said was true, then it meant Trina had kept something from her..
Vera looked at Trina and found that her face had turned pale. That made her even more suspicious.
âNothing much, I guess. Trina just hid outside Ms. Bonitaâs private room, but got caught redâhanded. by the researchers,â Bonnie said. Her tone indicated that she wanted to blow up the whole thing.
Vera was shocked again. She looked at Trina with wide eyes. âIs this true?â
Trinaâs face turned even paler.
Good. That was all the answer Vera needed.
âHow dare you do something like that, Trina?! You told me you were just trying your luck to see if youâd run into Ms. Bonita. I canât believe you hid outside of her private room at the restaurant!â Vera lectured.
That had been bad enough, but Trina had gotten herself caught, too!

âIâm going to ask you again. Did you manage to see Ms. Bonita?â
Trina Tried to make her mother feel sorry for her by tearing up. âIâI didnât see her.â
âWell Did you offend anyone?â
âUmâ¦â Trina bit her lips hard, and then harder still.
Bonnie crossed her legs and looked at Trina, pleased, âYouâd better tell the truth. Otherwise, even t wonât be able to help you.
Damn that Bonniel She was the one who had gotten her into this mess. How dare she imply that sheâd help her:
âIâll say it since you wonât. You accused me of seducing one of the researchers right in front of them. You implied that Ms. Bonitaâs research institute had wicked, corrupt people. Because of that, you offended all the science researchers. Mr. Terry even proclaimed they would never hire you.â
Vera was shocked to the core. Gresham, who had just heard the commotion from his study on the second floor, was equally stunned. He almost stumbled and fell down the stairs.
âT Thatâs not true,â Trina denied hastily.
âHow are you still denying it, Trina? Do you think thatâll help? Are you going to say that Iâm lying?â Bonnie said lightly.
Trinaâs eyes
widened. She didnât get it. Bonnie had never bothered to fight her when this had happened in the past. Why did Bonnie have to kick her while she was down today?
It was clear to both Vera and Gresham who the real liar was.
#You made a huge mistake, Trina. Youâre lucky Ms. Bonita wasnât there in person. Otherwise, our family could very well be wiped out from Pyralis. I want you to go to your room and reflect on your mistake. Do it until the end of summer.â
Trinaâs tears fell onto the floor, but her parents were infuriated with her. It didnât matter how sad she tried to look. It wouldnât help her.
Bonnie watched as Trina went upstairs, alone.
She was going to teach Trina the lesson of a lifetime and make her see the magnitude of her mistake. That way, Trina would never dare approach her researchers again.
