"Your intentions are so clear that I can see it from outer space. Do you honestly think I don't know what you're scheming at?"

Grant was so angry at how she retorted to him that he gnashed his teeth. However, Bonnie was a great asset to the Shepard family. So, he concealed his feelings and continued to convince her.

"You're misunderstanding me, Bonnie. We're doing this because we want you to repair your relationship with your parents. There's no other agency here."

"Are you kidding me?" She couldn't help but see the absurd irony in this. If Gresham and the others meant to welcome me back to the family, why didn't they talk to me themselves?

"With that said, I'll never agree to it even if they came here. As far as I'm concerned, they're no longer my parents.

"Who do you think you guys are? What makes you think you could just show yourself here and try to trick me? Where did you guys feel confident I would agree to your terms?"

What she said hit home. She had exposed his greed for fame and wealth. That was why his face turned red at once.

"You have no respect for your elders, Bonnie! It doesn't matter how much you achieve in life. It'll never change the fact that you're a rebellious and disrespectful punk."

"Pfft!" She couldn't help but laugh. Then, she leaned in close to him with humor in her eyes. "I reserve my respect for people who deserve it. Do you think you guys deserve to be respected? You guys are nothing but pieces of trash!"

"Who are you calling a piece of trash?!" His face turned even redder with rage.

"You responded to me. I guess you're it."

"Stop acting cockily and think so highly of yourself, Bonnie! I'm telling you..." Before he could finish his sentence, she cut him off.

"I don't need to hear it. You should hurry back to Harold and the gang and stop thinking about getting me to rejoin the family. Otherwise, I'll be forced to post what they said in the live stream onto the internet and play it on a loop.

"Also, I've asked someone to record everything you said earlier. We'll put all of it up on the internet and let people see how shameless you Shepards are."

At the next moment, his gaze followed where she pointed. It was true. Avril was waving her phone at them.

There was more. Avril even smiled widely and gestured to Bonnie that she got everything.

'She outsmarted me! What a cunning bitch!'

He was about to say something, but Carlee reached and tugged at his arm. "Forget it, Grant. Don't say anything. We must return to Dad, Mom, Gresham, and Vera. We have to come up with another plan. Arguing with her isn't going to work."

He mulled it over and thought his wife had a point.

Looking at Bonnie, he swallowed his anger grudgingly and said, "I can tell that you don't welcome us. I guess we'll be taking our leave, then."

She watched as they left. Then, she snorted lightly.

'Is that all they've got? How dare they stir up trouble with me? Just how much did they overestimate themselves?!'

Avril monitored everything that was happening here. Now that Grant and Carlee had left, she hurried over to Bonnie's side.

"With this video in our hands, they'll never find you again. Their faces were so red just now. You've got such a sharp tongue, Bonnie. No one can ever overtake you if it comes to debating."

Bonnie shrugged helplessly. "Do you think I want it? I wouldn't have wasted my breath on them if they didn't bring trouble to me."

"You're right. They're the ones who started the whole thing in the first place. They deserve to be schooled!" Avril went over and took Bonnie's arms in hers.

"Say, there's a new barbecue joint near our university. How about we grab a bite there later?"

Bonnie nodded and said, "Sure."

The next day, she finished her breakfast in the Knight Villa and was about to go out. Then, Ivor stood up instinctively. "Where are you going? I'm coming with you."

"I need to take care of some business at the research institute. I'll be home soon, so maybe you shouldn't tag along."

When he heard that she'd be home soon, he decided against following her. "Alright, then. Safe travels."

"Okay." She responded lightly and waved, turning to him before leaving swiftly.
