Chapter 45
Vera was cut off by Bonnie's fierce stare before she could finish. She suddenly
felt as if her life was at
risk.
Rage built up in Bonnie, but it went away as fast as it came. “You sure do have a
way with words. If I didn’t know any better, I would have thought you were my
enemy, not my mom.”
Vera felt a little awkward. It was true. They didn’t like Bonnie, but she was still
their flesh and blood. It must have been humiliating for Bonnie to be accused of
something like that without proof.
But that didn’t mean Vera would apologize. Instead, she said begrudgingly,
“There’s no need to get upset, Bonnie. I was just worried that you might have
fallen for some kind of scam. Tell me the truth. Where did you get this money?”
“I worked for it.” Bonnie didn’t want to waste another second with them, so she
rose and said, “I'm leaving. My SATs are tomorrow.”
Vera couldn't help but sigh as Bonnie left. She looked at Gresham and said, “Do
you think she'll be able to go to a third-rate college at least? What will I tell my
family if she fails to do even that?”
He sighed as well. He looked frustrated and said, “I'm thinking the same thing.
My brothers and their families will rub it in our face if she can’t get into college.”
o worry Trina took Vera's arm in one hand and Gresham's in another. “I don't
think you have to about her, Mom. Dad. I know Bonnie will get into one of the
third-rate colleges. She won't embarrass you.”
But even though she said that, she was sure that Bonnie would flunk the test.
She was going to make a big deal out of it and ensure that all the wealthy
families in Pyralis found out.
That way, Vera and Gresham would continue to love her and only her, even
though they hadn't given. birth to her. Bonnie would never have a place in the
Shepard family!

Halle and chatting in the car.
“I heard something, Rowena. Master Quenton is at the villa. He's a world—
renowned tea master and he doesn’t come here often. I know you love tea
brewing, so you have to convince him to take you under his wing.”
“You have a point. I asked him to take me in as his apprentice, but he rejected
me last time. I went on to hone my tea brewing skills for an entire year after that.
I'll definitely get his respect this time.”
When they arrived at Knight Villa, they saw a cab pulling up. They exchanged
glances when they saw it. No one besides Bonnie would hail a cab like a
penniless commoner.
Bonnie saw Halle and Rowena when she got out of the car, but she ignored them
and went straight
into the villa.

“What's wrong with her? I can’t believe she went in without so much as a
greeting. How uncivilized. I can’t take it. I need to teach her a lesson. I won't
stand for this!” Halle started to charge at Bonnie when Rowena grabbed her arm.
“She just came back, Halle. Do you think she’s here for Master Quenton as well?”
“She's a nobody. No way Master Quenton would even bother to look at her!”
“But... What if Ivor put in a word for her? Do you think Master Quenton would...?”
Rowena said
uncasily.
Halle was stunned for a while before saying nastily, “You have a point. I'm going
to give that penniless bitch a warning so strong that she'll keep her mouth shut!
She took a few brisk steps and blocked Bonnie’s path. “Hold it right there,
Bonnie!”
Bonnie looked at her coldly. “What?”

Halle glared at her and said, “Let me make something clear. Rowena is the one
who's Master Quenton’s apprentice. If you so much as ask Ivor to put in a good
word for you and sway Master Quenton’s decision, I'll make you regret it!”
Rowena came over and said, “I've admired Master Quenton for a long time,
Bonnie. I started learning how to brew tea a year ago just so I could become his
apprentice one day. This is a big deal for me. I'll give you a million dollars if you
stand back.” She sounded very condescending.
Master Quenton?
Bonnie was puzzled, but then she remembered Ivor’s text. The tea master would
like to discuss teat brewing with her.

Surprise, surprise. It looked like his meager tea brewing skill was popular out
here.
Bonnie looked at Halle and Rowena with a strange expression on her face and
said, “Don’t worry. I'll
stand back.”

That was smart of her.
Halle and Rowena let out a sigh of relief. Then, they hurried over to the entrance
of the villa.
“That bitch is being smart today.” Halle was relieved.
