I Love You, Miss Genius

Chapter 1439

Gresham and Vera predicted that Bonnie wouldn't have a good attitude toward them and had mentally prepared for it. However, their expressions did change when they faced Bonnie's cold demeanor.

Vera's face darkened as she looked at Bonnie with deep disapproval. "Bonnie, we are your biological parents after all. Is this how you treat us?" Bonnie shrugged indifferently. "Didn't you disown me a long time ago? What kind of biological parents are you?"

Vera's face turned even more grim.

Before she could say anything that might provoke Bonnie further, Gresham quickly patted her hand to stop her. "Alright, say less."

Vera had to swallow her words, glaring at Bonnie with dissatisfaction.

Gresham, on the other hand, looked at Bonnie with a kind smile. "Bonnie, your mother and I heard that you were nearly injured during the school ribbon-cutting event, so we came to check on you. How are you? Are you alright?"

Bonnie immediately understood their intentions but didn't reveal them. Instead, she responded blandly, "I'm fine. Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to care about me."

The sarcastic undertone in her words made Gresham and Vera feel uncomfortable. The smile on Gresham's face was becoming more challenging to maintain, but he forced it to stay.

"There's no need to thank us. We're family, and it's only right for us to care about you."

Bonnie's tone remained flat and emotionless. "Oh..."

After hearing her indifferent response, Gresham struggled to keep his composure. He wanted to say something but didn't know what, and his face turned bright red.

Vera, unable to take it any longer, said, "Bonnie, let's be honest. We know you're the president of Pyralis University. We're here to ask for your help inexpanding ourwork. The Shepard family's development isn't going well.

“Since you're a part of this family, it's only right for you to help."

Gresham felt relieved to hear Vera speak up. Given his strained relationship with Bonnie, pretending to be a loving father was something he found hard to maintain. Now that Vera had stated their purpose, he no longer had to act.

Bonnie responded with a disdainful snort. "Part of the Shepard family? How can you even say that? I remember you calling me a disgrace and kicking me out. Back then, you certainly didn't consider me part of the family."

Vera frowned deeply. "That was said in a moment of anger. It's been so long, and you're still holding a grudge? How could you be so unforgiving?"

"Oh? Is that so? If it were Trina who was kicked out and ignored for so long, would you still be so calm and say the same things?" Bonnie found their behavior laughable.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Back then, they had abandoned her. Now that they saw her as valuable, they came looking for her. How shameless could they be?

Vera thought Bonnie's harsh attitude was due to her resentment towards their favoritism of Trina.

Sighing, she said, "I know you've

always felt that we favor Trina, but you are still our biological daughter. Sometimes, we were strict with you because we wanted you to be better. Perhaps our methods were wrong, but you have always been in our hearts."

Bonnie gave a mocking smile and responded coolly, "If you cared about me, why didn't you come to find me before? Why wait until you learn about my position to reach out? You didn't care about me, and I didn't mind.

"But now that you see I have value, you come up with these pathetic excuses to deceive me. Don't you find it ridiculous?"
