I Love You Miss Genius ( Bonnie Shepard ) CHAPTER 171

Chapter 171

“Hush. Don’t even think about telling me your last words. I don’t want to hear them. You’ll be okay. I’m here now. I won’t let you die,” Ivor sounded terrified and heartbroken.

Bonnie’s lips twitched as she said, “Calm down and listen to me. I’m-”

Before she could finish, Ivor kissed her lips. Her eyes widened, and she tried her best to push him off her. However, Ivor held her tighter and kissed her more intensely. Bonnie kept trying to say something, but his lips had sealed hers.

Soon after, she began to pant and blush. Fortunately, she had put on makeup to make herself look paler. Otherwise, it would have been blood–red by now. Moments later, Ivor stopped kissing her and looked into her eyes.

“I told you to stop talking, but you just refuse to listen. If you’re going to keep it up, I’ll do it again.”

Bonnie zipped it when she heard that. She wanted to explain the situation but changed her mind and held the prop knife instead.

“Don’t touch that! A doctor will be here to pull it out of your chest soon. Oh, god. You might bleed out –“Ivor did not get to finish his sentence because Bonnie pulled the prop knife away from her chest.

The former felt as if time had stopped, and an awkward silence hung in the air.

“It’s a prop, dummy.” Bonnie pointed at her chest and wiped the fake blood off the corner of her mouth. “It’s all fake.”

Ivor was stunned before sighing in relief. “Are you trying to give me a heart attack?! Why would you put on all this makeup to make it look like you’re dying? Do you have any idea how terrified I was?”

He pulled her into his arms again. He held her so tightly that he could feel her heartbeat. Meanwhile, Bonnie could feel his heart pounding wildly. She even noticed Ivor’s shaky and sobbing voice.

“I was just making a video and taking some pictures.”

“Will you please tell me the next time you even consider doing something like this?” Ivor sounded authoritative and desperate.

Bonnie frowned in response. She could feel just how heartbroken he was early. She then patted his back and said, “Okay, I will.”

Ivor felt much better after she soothed him. He asked, “So, what’s the deal here?”

“Um…”

“I want the truth.” He stared at her unblinkingly.

Bonnie knew she could not make up a story when he looked at her like that. “Here’s the deal. I took money from Xavier and promised him I’d kill myself.”

It made Ivor confused. “Are you part of the St League? Don’t even think about lying to me. Even if you aren’t, you must be connected to the league somehow. The guy who sparred with Jim at the hospital was none other than the strongest fighter in the league.

“That was Jacques. Anyone he chooses to work for must be some top brass in the league.” Ivor was a genuinely intelligent man.

“I’m not a part of the league, but I can tell you that your analysis is correct. Indeed, I’m connected to it.” Bonnie did not tell Ivor about William’s true identity, but that was not because she did not trust

Ivor.

William was no ordinary man. The SR League accepted plenty of requests throughout the year, meaning they made enemies worldwide. The fewer people knew about William’s identity, the better it would be.

“All right, I respect your boundaries.”

Ivor could envision Bonnie’s plan. He said, “There’s something I want to know. What will you do after this? Xavier isn’t someone you can mess with. He’s wicked. Aren’t you worried he’d seek revenge on you after duping him out of ten billion dollars?”

Bonnie chuckled confidently. “He wouldn’t.”

“How can you be so sure?” Ivor was curious, wondering what made her so confident.
