I Love You, Miss Genius (Bonnie Shepard and Ivor Knight) novel Chapter 113

Chapter 113

Avril’s father, Daken Smith, tugged at her arms. “That’s enough, Avril. Let’s go home.”

“People must own up to our mistakes. That’s how people better themselves. You taught me that ever since I was a little girl, Dad. Does that apply to kids only and not adults? How’s that fair?”

Dalem had no good comebacks to that.

“How’s it acceptable to disown one of your family members because they wanted to preserve their reputation?” Avril said as she swept her gaze across the Shepards. She shook her head and chuckled when she knew no one dared to retort.

“Bonnie’s highly intelligent. It looks like the Shepards are cold and heartless, after all. I guess it’s good she severed her ties with you all.” With that, Avril got into her car and ordered her chauffeur, Go after Bonnie.”

“Avril!” Daken yelled and chased after her.

”

The engagement party was such a mess that the Shepards and the Rhodes felt discouraged to keep it going.

Harold stepped onto the stage with his cane and addressed everyone, “Please accept my sincere apologies. Bonnie behaved poorly and brought shame to the family. She was the black sheep of our family.

“I’m not in the mood to say anything more about her. After all, she’s no longer one of us. As for the earlier video, the truth is, we knew Trina and Hadwin were an item long ago. We and the Rhodes love how they found each other and give our full support to them.

“If Hadwin hadn’t called off the wedding with Bonnie, we would’ve done the same thing and married him to Trina anyway. That wretched Bonnie pulled a wicked one over Trina to take revenge on her.

“I can’t believe she hired people to tail Trina, recorded that video, and showed it here. Bonnie’s actions could ruin Trina’s reputation and bury her future. My family won’t tolerate such a vile human being in our ranks.

“With that in mind, I implore everyone to avoid thinking of her as one of the Shepards and hold us accountable for her hideous actions in the future.”
