I Love You, Miss Genius (Bonnie Shepard and Ivor Knight) novel Chapter 1271

Billy was puzzled, asking, “What do you mean?”

“It’s a long story. I’ll tell you the details when I can.” Falcon waved and added, “What matters now is that I got under Barrett’s skin. He might enter that room to help them as we speak.”

Although he knew Boyd to be strict and overbearing, Falcon also knew his old boss was sentimental and fiercely loyal. What happened several years ago left a profound scar in Bonnie’s heart.

‘Boyd never talked about that incident, but I know he blames himself for failing to save that guy. Only the core Nidhogg members remember what happened. That’s why I simulated it to probe Barrett.’

Now that Falcon had recreated that horrific past and made “Bonnie” relive it, he thought she would act unfazed.

Meanwhile, Billy frowned and said, “All that matters is that you know what you’re doing.”

Falcon nodded solemnly. “It’s a decisive moment. We only need to watch how Barrett reacts.”

As Bonnie approached the door where she heard the screams, Falcon muttered anxiously, “Is he going in? Is he a spy, after all?”

He became increasingly excited and triumphant over his wise planning. “I knew to hit Barrett where it hurts if the other tests failed.”

Billy frowned and asked, “Are you sure this test will yield the desired results?”
