I Love You, Miss Genius (Bonnie Shepard and Ivor Knight) novel Chapter 794

“Eeek!” Shane let out an ear-piercing shriek.

Tom’s face fell. “Mr. Shane!”

He was about to turn around when Bonnie appeared in front of him.

Her lips curled into a wicked grin when she met his gaze. “Weren’t you about to go down there and look for him? Worry not, I’m going to send you down as well.”

Tom’s face was filled with fear instantly. Then, he kept taking steps back when he spoke.

“N-No.”

“Heh heh heh…” She sneered and snorted lightly. “I’m not asking.”

He tried to run, but she caught him. Twisting his wrist, she kicked his bottom squarely and booted him down there.

Tom’s miserable cries rose in the air. He rolled all the way down until he crashed into Shane.

“Ouch!” At first, Shane had scrambled to his feet, but he fell again when Tom rammed into him. It was so painful that he felt as if someone had broken his back.

Holding his waist, he kept groaning out of pain. His face was contorted with agony as well.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Shane. Are you okay?”

The slope wasn’t exactly steep. So, falling from the top of the tunnel wouldn’t have killed them.

With that said, both of their suits were littered with dust, making them look miserable.

Shane helped himself up with Tom’s support. Staring at Bonnie, who was standing on top of the tunnel, his eyes were filled with unbridled fury.

Bonnie spoke leisurely as she strolled toward him. “It’s fine if he didn’t know how to tell you. I’m more than happy to do it for him. I’m sure you don’t know about it yet. He spent billions of dollars on this mining tunnel.

“Suffice it to say that he simply couldn’t bring himself to dig up the entire tunnel. So, he merely dug the front part of it. He decided to use the soil to block our path and trap us in there, suffocating us.

“What he didn’t count on is that the workers dug an emergency recovery shaft. Fortune smiled upon us and showed us to that shaft. That’s how we managed to escape the tunnel in one piece.”

Then, she looked at Shane and said leisurely, “I’m sorry to have disappointed you, Shane. It’s just not our time yet. You went through such a great deal of trouble, only to come up short of killing us.”

Shane felt the full brunt of her sarcasm.

He looked downright terrible. His face turned as red as blood. Turning around, he glared at Tom and his eyes turned red as well. He looked like he could throttle him.

“I can’t believe I placed that much faith in you. How dare you play me for a fool? Just wait and see. You’re going to pay for this!”
