When Bonnie saw Noah approaching, she was fearful and ashamed. She had spontaneously hidden behind Terence and didn't want to face any of her family members, especially her brother, Noah.
"Mr. Terence. I am sorry for what has happened. I'm here to take Bonnie back home. It's our fault that this shameful thing has happened. It seems that we have spoiled her too much. I only hope that you can find it within yourself to pardon what Bonnie has done, for the sake of our two families!"
As Noah spoke, he made his way towards Bonnie and reached out to pull her from behind Terence's back.
"Noah, no! I won't go! I don't want to call off the engagement! Please!" Bonnie cried out. She pleaded desperately and struggled to free herself from Noah's tight grip that was around her wrist.
Noah frowned and scolded, "That's enough, Bonnie! Have you no shame? How can you even mention your engagement to Mr. Terence?
You will come home now and think about all the damage that you have caused!"
Noah pulled her to him and pushed her behind his back. He bowed solemnly to Terence. "Mr. Terence, I apologize for my sister's unacceptable behavior. I'm sincerely sorry for what has happened. This is our fault. I'm going to take her home, and she will be punished. After her mind clears, she will apologize to you in person, next time."
Once Noah had finished talking, he glanced at Carla, who was standing on the staircase.
He then grabbed Bonnie, turned on his heels, and abruptly left.
Noah forced Bonnie to get into his car.
"Noah, why didn't you help me? Yes, What I did was wrong. But Terence betrayed me first. Why do you all only blame me now? It's so unfair!" Bonnie cried hysterically.
"Foolish woman!"
Noah snapped coldly. "Bonnie, Terence is a man. The fact that he has a mistress doesn't harm his reputation. Besides, do you have any proof of his affair? You're different! You are the daughter of the Hua family. A high born lady. Your scandalous behavior is a disgrace to our house! How can a prominent house, like the An family, accept you into their home now? Let it all go!"
Bonnie sobbed. She refused to accept the result that their engagement would be called off.
"Have a good look at these pictures! They're all from that bastard, Yves' cell phone! How dare you go to Terence and ask him for forgiveness!"
Noah reprimanded and threw the cell phone to her. Then he started the car and left Terence's Seaview Villa.
Bonnie picked up the phone with trembling hands. She swallowed a lump in her throat and pressed to open the file. To her horror, she saw the sex video and naked pictures of her having sex with Yves. It was obvious from the angle that the photographs and video were taken, that Yves was the one who took them.
She was shaking because of how furious she felt.
Bonnie didn't expect that Yves would ruin her life for the second time. She would be pleased to see him dead right now.
"But Noah, why do you have the video from Yves' cell phone? And how did Terence know about it at all?" Bonnie asked through sobs.
Noah furrowed his brows and glanced at his sister while he was driving. "Bonnie, you really are a fool to ask such a question. Do you have any idea where you are right now? This is JA City! The An family's domain. You screwed around with another man, several times. Did you really think that you could hide it from the An family?
And another thing, you knew that Terence didn't like you. By doing this, you handed the evidence to him on a silver platter. How could he not use such an excellent opportunity against you?
It may also have been planned by someone. But it doesn't matter now. Even if it does prove to have been a trap, you have already swallowed the bait!"
Bonnie didn't say a word after that.
She began to recall the whole story in her mind. Now, when she had thought more about it, the sudden appearance of Yves, was quite suspicious.
Why did he show up at that critical moment, right after her engagement and there had been no sight of him up until then?
Did Terence secretly arrange it all?
Why did he do such a thing and insult her like that?
"It turns out that Terence did all of that for her," she sneered when she realized the motive behind it all.
After she thought through everything, she knew who was to blame, Carla.
Thanks to Carla, she had lost Terence forever.
During that moment, at the Seaview Villa, after Carla had witnessed the humiliating and disgraceful scene of Bonnie being dragged out by Noah, confusion rose in her heart. As far as she could see, Terence had gone to extreme lengths to make it impossible for Bonnie to get back with him.
Why would he do that? She didn't understand.
She was snapped out of her thoughts when she felt Terence leading her up the stairs with him.
"Carla, you have seen for yourself now that I will never marry Bonnie. Or, let me put it this way. Bonnie is not the only daughter of the Hua family,"
