Chapter 158
Bonnie’s face turned ugly, her lip clenched, unable to utter a word.
Once again, I looked at the vanity table, the leftover high end skincare products and perfumes, most of their lids were off
Wherever Bonnie touched, it felt like it’s been contaminated by some disgusting virus
I chucked all the skincare products and perfumes into the bin, and let the servants deal with it in front of everyone.
“Trene, don’t be so harsh, Bonnie was just trying them out, she’s never used them before, its normal for her to be curious!” Cooper couldn’t stand it.
Neil kept his silence, just giving me a deep and inscrutable look, observing my every move.
“I’m sorry, Irene “Bonnie’s eyes were red like a rabbit’s
“Bonnie, you don’t need to apologize, it’s my fault for bringing you guys here”
Cooper coldly said, “Neil, aren’t you going to say anything? Aren’t you and Irene divorced?”
Bonnie looked at Neil expectantly, hoping he would speak up for her.
Neil obviously saw the slap mark on Bonnie’s cheek, a slap that I put most of my strength into:
“Why cant she live here?” Neil finally spoke and it made my heart go cold.
“Are you short on houses? You know I decorated this place with care, it’s my five years of effort and emotion. You actually let Bonnie move in and trample on my efforts, really?” I took a deep breath, struggling to control the pain and anger in my heart.
“If you’ve already let go of me, you should also let go of the past emotions, we should always look forward.” Neil coldly looked at me, speaking lightly.
The man who used to cling to me seemed to have sobered up these days, his attitude towards me had changed significantly
Bonnie, seeing Neil on her side, immediately perked up. “Yeah, Irene, we should always look forward. There’s no point in clinging on.”
Was I the one clinging on or was she? Bonnie’s counterattack was fierce.
I felt calm watching Neil protect Bonnie, something I had a hunch about. I just lost the interest to fight with them anymore
I took out my phone and opened the news from tonight, questioning Nail, “Did you do this?”
Seeing the content, Neil’s face immediately turned ugly, his sharp gaze turned to Bonnie.
From his eyes, I already knew who was doing it. Bonnie looked at Neil innocently, “Mr. Whitmore, what’s going on?”
“Nothing “Neil answered flatly
“It was Bonnie who posted it, wasn’t it?” I felt extremely desolate, after ten years, and a rebirth, I still didn’t see Neil clearly
Neil said, “She must have accidentally used my phone to send it, I’ll have someone take care of it. It won’t bother your life anymore.”
I wasn’t even allowed to touch his phone before, but now Bonnie could play with it freely
Even Bonnie could browse his gallery to find those photos, then register a stranger’s account to smear me.
I might be crazy to think that Neil had feelings for me a while ago.
“Are you sure it was unintentional?” I stared into Neil’s eyes
“Yes, I’m sure.” Neil paused, then replied.
Bonnie began to defend herself unjustly, “Irene, you’ve misunderstood me, I really never thought of hurting you, I don’t know why you
I couldn’t stand it anymore and raised my hand to slap her again.
What an actress!
Neil grabbed my raised hand, his strength so great that I couldn’t resist, he looked at me coldly. “Irene, you’re the one who doesn’t want to turn back, and you’re the one who’s disturbing me and Bonnie now, enough is enough!”
Seeing this, Bonnie had a hint of joy in her eyes.
But she still pretended to be concerned and tried to comfort me, “Irene, I know I’m just a substitute, he told me about Karina. I know my place, so I wouldn’t do such things, I don’t have the right.”
“Get lost!” I was livid, in my past life I lost to Bonnie terribly, in this life she still wanted to act in front of me, I broke free from Neil’s hand and pushed Bonnie away.
Bonnie nearly fell, but Neil swiftly caught her. She took the opportunity to throw herself into Neil’s arms and started crying.
Seeing his daughter being bullied, Dean couldn’t stand it and rushed over to push me as well
His strength was far less than mine, I was almost pushed out of the room, falling in the hallway
“Irene Neil’s face changed, he let go of Bonnie and came over, trying to help me up.
My body wasn’t in much pain, but my heart was almost suffocating
I harshly shook off Neil’s hand, tears uncontrollably welled up in my eyes.
When I stood up, I found everyone surrounding me, all kinds of eyes were on me, a few servants in the living room downstairs were also looking up, wanting to know what happened.
I took out the property division agreement from my bag and said to Neil, ‘Do you think these things are enough to compensate me?”
“If you think it’s not enough, I can add more” Neil’s eyes were no longer cold, he was a bit nervous and worried.
Hearing his words, Bonnie’s face changed slightly
She didn’t even want to see me get half of Neil’s property, as if I was taking her money, if he added more, wouldn’t she be heartbroken?
I smirked, then forcefully tore the agreement into pieces and threw it on the ground.
At that moment, Bonnie’s mouth corner noticeably lifted, a flash of uncontainable joy passed by
She might think that I didn’t want these properties anymore, so they would all be hers in the future, all the benefits would ultimately be hers.
“Rena”” Suddenly there was Stella’s anxious voice from downstairs, Barbara and Alicia were also there, Mitch was supporting Stella, they all rushed
upstairs.
When Stella and others came up, I immediately had a backup, they glared at Neil and Bonnie’s people, looking like they wanted to fight.
Cooper looked totally lost, staring at Mitch who was standing on my side. “Mitch, are you love-blind or something? Are you too lovey-dovey to tell right from wrong? Don’t you remember how Irene treated Bonnie?”
Mitch glanced at me, then replied without hesitation, “Neil, Cooper, this time I’m siding with Irene. Bonnie is just playing the innocent. I see through her now.”
“What are you talking about? Cooper was clearly flabbergasted.
“Mitch, those things I said in the hospital room, they were just slip of the tongue. I didn’t mean them. I was under the weather and in a bad mood, so…” Bonnie knew what Mitch must have heard, and tried to make a weak explanation.
I whipped out my phone, opened a pre-edited audio file, and asked sarcastically, “Well, can you explain this? Are these also slips of your tongue?”
Bonnie was stunned. “What’s that?”
“You’ll know once it’s played, won’t you?” I smirked and lightly hit the play button. Bonnie’s familiar voice immediately filled the room from my phone.
